Is there any review on the Goes E-bike Cross Country? http://www.scooterlife.es/goes-e-bike-cross-country/ I had seen before this frame (Montague type, with the batteries inside the frame). Even there is a shop in Barcelona selling e-bikes using that frame, but let me put it softly, I do not...

I have ordered the following, in order to build two e-bikes (with 6 and 7spd freewheel, resp., and V-brakes): - A Xofo XFL motor, with torque sensor, 201rpm, black, 5-7spd, V-brake http://www.xofomotor.com/display.asp?id=782 - A Xofo kit for the XFL motor (controller, PAS, e-brakes...

I have been given this bike: It is an old 90s MTB, all steel (I have checked with a magnet), O.L.D. of 130mm, apparently with those brakes called cantilever (I had never seen them before), and with horizontal dropouts, something really strange in a 3x6 speed bike. For some time I have...

I am going to build two e-bikes, both with the Xiongda 2-speed kit: http://xiongdamotor.en.alibaba.com/product/1557215740-220560510/NEW_Invention_E_bike_Motor_with_CE_CCC_RoHS_Certificates.html One bike is going to be as plug & play as possible, so I want to buy a 36V 10Ah BMSbattery battery...

From the thread: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/battery-advice-please.17548/#post-216573 I could see several pedelecers use lipo hardpacks such as this 4s 5Ah...

This is my third attempt to build my e-bike. In the first two attempts, I failed, since I realized I was not understanding 100% what was going on. Slowly, I am trying to learn. I hope this is my last attempt: In fact, I want to build two e-bikes, one for my girlfriend, another one for me. I...

I know this is not a question of e-bikes per se, but since this forum is such an invaluable source of good ideas and people, I dare to ask: I have been thinking about removing easily both wheels, say on a daily basis (to reduce volume). With the front wheel, it seems quite easy with a quick...

I have been doing a bit of research on 18650 cells. I would like to ask those that have experience on these packages, what do they think about the different models available. I see there are two different levels: The cheap ones, say Samsung 22P or 26F, and the expensive ones, say Panasonic PD...

It is still not 100% clear to me how can a bike with a kit be 100% compliant with European regulations. EN 15194 requires (among other things): - 25km/h max speed - 250W max nominal power There are several ways to cope with these regulations: a. The first way would be to limit max speed...

I have been impressed by this build: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=54557 apart from the carbon fiber, he says he is using a Hobbyking RC motor: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17987__Turnigy_RotoMax_50cc_Size_Brushless_Outrunner_Motor.html and by looking...

I want to build my own battery, with a specific geometry (quasi triangular, to fit inside a standard bike frame) and capacity & discharge rate requirements. AFAIK, only em3ev "officially" builds quasi triangular batteries. I believe Schwibsi, a member here, can do that, too. But I want to build...

I have tried to find professionals who can spot weld batteries in Barcelona. Usually I find everything I want to find in my city ... but so far, I have failed miserably with this one. Even, there is a shop arguing they spot weld batteries, but when I talked with the manager, he told me (very...

A few days ago, I opened a thread, "Buy list: opinions are welcome": http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/buy-list-opinions-are-welcome.17190/#post-211792 One of the comments rang a bell on me: a light weight bike will not be as nimble as before, when electrified. I also recall having read...

I feel I am prepared to go ahead with my first e-bike project. After thinking about it, I will modify my current bike, a Rockrider 8.1, a bike I feel bonded with from the first time I used it. Why do I want an e-bike? 1. Use it as an urban vehicle in Barcelona. I want to use the fact that in...

I have seen there are some interesting batteries at BMSbattery: http://www.bmsbattery.com/battery-pack/664-36v-12ah-38140-lifepo4-battery-12-cells-ebike-battery-pack.html From the specs, they are light, small, powerful and cheap. It seems they are the same battery used for...

I have seen the BB of my Rockrider 8.1 says: "Do not disassemble" Is there a way to add a PAS without having to disassemble the BB at all? I have been searching the forum, and I see threads discussing this issue, saying it is very easy doing it with "sugru", and even there are some pictures...

The S06P integrated controller: http://www.bmsbattery.com/controller/578-36v-s06p-integrated-controller-for-new-bottle-case.html seems interesting, due to dimensions (BMSbattery has told me it has a diameter of approx. 8cm). The idea would be to buy it independently from the bottle battery...

I have seen the 36V15Ah BMSbattery battery: http://www.bmsbattery.com/36v/475-36v-15ah-lithium-ion-electric-bicycle-battery-pack.html It seems a nice battery, cheap, and with 15A max continuous amperage, well suited to a KU63 / S06S controller. I see in the second picture of the above link a...
