    new battery required

    Hi All, I think my 36V 20ah ping battery is starting to age and although I replaced a cell last year I think I need to look at alternatives, it has covered 14000 miles in six years so I'm not complaining. My bike is a 500w direct drive front wheel kit and according to a cycle analyst typically...

    xiongda questions

    I am interested in building up a new bike to replace my direct drive 500W 36V mainly due to age of the motor visible size and needing a new battery soon. On relatively flat terrain what is the stock performance at 36v?, I intend to pedal as I do today and typically trip along around 20mph (I...

    Direct Drive motor power consumption increase

    new bearings fitted. I have now ridden it twice with the new bearings and it seems to be more or less back to normal. The old ones didn't seem to be rough or knackered when in your hand though. It does seem to not quite have the full power it use to have but that could be me. The battery has...

    Direct Drive motor power consumption increase

    As an update I have checked the hall sensors with a volt meter and they are all working okay, I have checked the phase wires with an ebike tester (the little box with all the wires and lights on) and they seem okay. I have ordered some new bearings to fit so hope that works. i'll let you know.

    Direct Drive motor power consumption increase

    It is a 36v 20ah ping battery which recently had some cells replaced (December 14). The Cycle Analyst is the SA one. When the battery was failing my 22 miles hit the LVC at 13AH consumed. To check I charged the battery and did a discharge test and got the same readings 13AH LVC hit . On...

    Direct Drive motor power consumption increase

    The consumption is via a cycle analyst which I have used for the whole life of this set up. The pack voltage seems to be behaving normally in terms of fully charged value and LVC. The LVC and total AH consumed ties up both on the bike and a drain test with 3 x 12V light bulbs, ie the LVC...

    Direct Drive motor power consumption increase

    Morning All, my direct drive motor which has covered approx 12000 miles has recently started consuming alot more AH for my commute, it use to use about 11 AH for 22 miles but recently this has jumped to 17AH. It still seems to run okay although there does seem to be a lack of top end power but...

    modifying a phillips saferide led bike light

    Thanks all for the comments but it is the electronics on the current board are faulty (or set to turn off high after 20 mins) regardless of battery condition, so replacing seems to be the way forward, the question is which board, a current limiting or voltage limiting? Thanks

    modifying a phillips saferide led bike light

    Mike, thanks for the suggestion but I am looking to get rid of the current electronics and go straight to the LEDs as just replacing the batteries with the DC-DC convertor does not get round the 20 min then off problem. Thanks

    modifying a phillips saferide led bike light

    Hi All, I want to mod my phillips saferide bike light to run off a 12v supply I have at the handlebar from a DC-DC convertor from the bike battery. The light is great but the run time on high is now only 20mins which is too short for my commute. It use to be longer but seems to have dropped...

    Magura hydraulic brake cut-off switch

    I have one of these switches and it is fitted fairly close to the brake lever , (where everything crosses over) for support. they are wrapped together with that plastic spiral wrap stuff. It works well but it was a bit of a pig to bleed as if it leaks it is hard to see the fluid on the black...

    Throttle working backwards! motor runs forwards

    Thanks for the suggestion, i did open it up but they were stuck fast and would have needed a fair bit of delicate operation to get them out, fortunately the one I ordered off ebay arrived this morning and that one works fine. so problem solved.;)

    Throttle working backwards! motor runs forwards

    Hi All, my throttle broke yesterday and on trying a spare at home it works but you have to go to WOT for it to start and then by working back on the spring the speed slows until stop at what would normally be full speed?! Let go for off and it works back to WOT as it springs closed / open...
