Speedict Ebike - Anybody seen/tried this?

[fizzit]

Hey Danny, I just got my Speedict Mars, and it looks great! I haven't used it yet but I am excited to test it out.

One thing I have to note is that when I got the box, the sticker holding it shut was peeled off, and all I had to do was open the lid to get the stuff out. I was surprised that it didn't already fall out! It might be a good idea to use some packing tape to seal the box shut.

Also, I have a question. Previously in this thread, I think someone damaged their speedict from the spark when they plugged in their controller. Is this only dangerous for high voltage setups or do I need to worry about it at 50V?

Thanks!

Make it simply like here:

I would do that but it is not recommended for the controller that I use

thanks for your photo and information, the reason we use the little sticker on the edge is to prevent the box left open, and the box has lid on both side that can lock the box unopened, of course we can use stronger tape to ensure the box more secure, however as per our experiences allow the box be opened by custom or post office that make it easier to get through ... so i will consider to use strong rubber band perhaps

Thanks!

if your application is 50v, you don't need to worry about ... and if you don't want to use the per-charge circuit, you can connect speedict to battery first and then connect speed controller to speedict, because the large capacitors on speed controller act like short circuit therefore when connect your speedict to speed controller first it like shorted the speed circuit (actually not) the moment you connect the battery to speedict it will cause spark !

don't worry up to this moment we have only received few case regarding speedict over-voltage damage, and the new version of speedict has reverse polarity protected, also you have warranty covered if you don't mind to pay postage send it back

I use 48V and no precharge resistor.
No problem for Speedict.

Looks nicer than the speedict. But has no chance cause it's overpriced. The speedict will die also if it doesn't improve fast. There are too many people out there to try this their selves

We (coolermods) have a similar product coming out soon, that runs on the iphone/ipod. We are still working out the bugs, but have a video link to it on the product page:

50A/60V max very average spec's.

G'Day all,
Just an update on the trouble that I was having setting up Mercury for "Throttle Mode". After Danny contacted me here on the forum and many private exchanges later the problem has been resolved!
I just want to thank Danny and the Speedict Team for their incredible support. Probably the best product support that I have ever encountered! This is also on Public Holidays and Weekends! Do these guys ever sleep???
Anyway, you can rest assured that these great products are well backed up

Cheers, Martin.

thanks martin, not yet finish we are working on software modify, update to tackle the samsung bluetooth drop issues as well as samsung's rom doesn't allow our software activate feature being update on application itself ... too many rom version of samsung we can't have it tested ...

Danny,
Any clues as to when you may be able to solve the Bluetooth issue or do I sell the s2 and get a htc or something.

we have no clues to solve the problem unless they fix it, but i don't think you need to sell your s2 since not all s2 has such issues, we are collecting problem rom version, and see if you can swap your rom to solve it !

Samsung S2 bluetooth issue

we have received samsung S2 with bluetooth issues, by google "samsung s2 4.0.4 bluetooth problem" we have found some information regarding it.

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Samsung-Galaxy-S2/Bluetooth-disconnects-then-reconnects-since-4-0-4/td-p/1346372

can anyone confirm if your samsung S2 or S3 can connect Speedict ebike, mercury or mars ? please tell me the rom version

I have an S3, and would gladly test.
Don't have a speedict though... Hint

All kidding aside,

I just read the entire thread. 3 hours worth of reading!
I think your product is simply amazing, and it's crystal-clear that you are dedicated to your product and customers.

What I would want to know is how the speedict would operate, in a aluminium batterybox.

Batts are inside, controller will be too, DC-DC converter for lights, and hopefully also the speedict!
Possible? (for bluetooth reception)

Also, on your site there seems to only be one model for sale, but here you speak of different models...

correct ! bluetooth signal can not penetrate aluminum, but i can help to extend the antenna out if you don't mind its look like rat tail

yes we are working on website re-design for that, please come back next week.

Which part would have to be extended exactly? Would obviously like to keep everything looking as clean as possible...

Thanks!

the antenna, now it use chip antenna, but can use thin wire to replace it.

 

[wannesd]

I can live with that, can mount it so it's hardly seen... Do I have to cut open the speedict, or is it an easy mod?

A picture would make this clearer to me, if it's not too much trouble?

Thanks!

 

[ecologymagnet]

Can it run with 83V?, How we can run with 100V or more in the future? And how I can buy the new version?

Thank you.

will mod one tomorrow and show you the photo

Thank you.

too risky to run 83v it is too marginal, you can search this thread member MEGACYCLE has an idea on high voltage, but we need to add a voltage scale feature to show real data.

And how I can buy the new version?

please come back next week for our new website launch.

Really good to see this evolve.
Love how your given ideas and you just send stuff to make it happen

 

[wannesd]

Nice, thanks for the foto.

You don't have to destroy anything, or break warranty to get to the circuitboard do you?
Otherwise, you could just sell me the one you've altered for the picture?

How far does the "antenna" need to extend out of the frame in order for a good reception?


Thanks!

 

[speedict]

yes i can mod for you without void your warranty,

How far does the "antenna" need to extend out of the frame in order for a good reception?

how far ? it is not depended on speedict, it is depended on android phone (because they both need handshaking), since most of today mobile device dim low its bluetooth power for little bit energy save purpose, so the max range of bluetooth is ~ 3 - 4M, if not, like my motorola slv7 we've tested range about 80M in open space.

i will measure the range with this mod tomorrow, because i forgot the range i did this mod last year
