Shucks. I don't know if BMS has done anything about their shipping costs since I bought the kit, but it was $209 for the gear plus $165 to ship to the UK. Chuck in another X% if customs get their hands on it. Given that the controller is only $24 and that shipping from China is a lot more than...

120 and you pay for shipping (method of your choosing). I'll take a screenshot of the receipt and you can pay the cost of shipping once it's in the post.

Thanks for the advice John. Can I edit title or do I need a mod to do it? Yes, that's right PC2017 - everything needed minus battery.

Bump. Any offers at all??

I have a bunch of stuff that I ordered, never been used, in new condition. Would rather it all went at once for a quick sale. This has been sat in the attic for 3 years so prices may have changed. If so, make me an offer. I put it up for sale a while back but got tied up with life. Time for it...

Hi all, As you will see from my thread I was gearing up to do an electric bike conversion, but never got around to it. As a result I still have a bunch of stuff that I ordered in new condition. Would rather it all went at once and I'm looking to recoup the cost of the parts entirely (the bonus...

I've started the process and it's certainly working but they seem to be varying levels of tightness, which begs the question, why am I doing highly controlled half turns. Would another method not be to tighten the driver side until is...tight and loosen the other side until it is loose and then...

Thanks. I can't use washers without stretching the frame

Okay, a worrying development. My mate came round - knows a LOT about bikes. He said that the dishing on the wheel was set up for a single speed configuration. That because the spokes were not crossed (I think he said laced) there would not be enough spoke to dish the wheel far enough over. Said...

Thanks cwah. I can't fork out $400 on a battery at the moment. Open to alternatives. I agree, 15mph will be frustrating so think I'm going to try 44v setup.

You can make the rim central by spacing it on the left side which will make the hub even wider. I think that's just about feasible, or you can dish the wheel, or a combination of both. Can you explain what you mean by spacing it?

So after months of waiting my parts have arrived! Still not chosen a battery but have plenty to be getting on with. I changed the cassette out and squeezed the wheel in, just to see what it would look like. Just like you said d8veh, it fits (JUST!) but man it looks wonky. I'm hoping the dishing...

28-406

And so it begins. Finally got the bike (woop!). Needs a clean up. Rode it home. Very responsive and fun. I've also ordered my parts from BMS. Slightly concerned though, and this is probably really dumb of me. The wheels are not 20" as far as I can tell (pic below). Nor are they 16". Is it...

Forgive my niavity but will I still get the same mileage on a 10s5ma? The highest capacity I can find on hobby king for a 10s is http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__34598__ZIPPY_Compact_5800mAh_10S_25C_Lipo_Pack_UK_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=10s which weighs in at a very respectable...

thanks for the links and input guys. All of these batteries seem to weigh 3.5-4kgs though. Looking at the weight of the LiPos, I could get two 5s 10Ah (not overvolting right?), whack em in a light weigh aluminium case, pop them in my front bag - for less than 2kg. And they cost twice as much. Is...

I have to say, I really like the idea of the bottle batteries but all the ones I've seen weigh upwards of 3kg which seems unnecessary. Which battery would you recommend trex?

okey doke, I have my finger on the order button. Q100C kit, SO6S controller, the 12s 5000mAh hobby king batts, no battery pack yet (I want in integrate them into some kind of back back that holds my laptop that I can pull off (weight distribution on trains). I'm hoping when I get my hands on...
