Hi again , it is now March 17 2021, I finished the bike a few weeks ago and had to do it within the Legal Constraints of Queensland Australia, this means I could not put the throttle control on as I wanted in earlier posts. We are also restricted to 250w motors so the stock motor was OK. I ended...

Hi from OZ, My old Nimh pack on my iZip Trekking only charges to 24v max and is 2006 vintage, the cells are shagged. I would like some advice, I am going to repack the banana shaped Battery, The battery pack is not serviceable, I can spot weld the Nickle metal strips and have all the equipment...

If I change to lithium will I have to buy a new charger? GJP

Hi, I would like some advice, I am going to repack the banana Battery, The battery pack as you said is not serviceable, I can spot weld the metal strips and have all the equipment to do the job, I took a look on eBay for batteries and Wish but I find the claims of storage capacity to be in some...

Thank you, I will do that, It will take a bit more time for the controller to get here but I will get back to you if I have any problems.

Thanks for that, I hope to sort it out before the controller unit arrives, I did look the wiring diagram over and ticked off the compatible wires to the existing loom, once all are accounted for I will get new plugs from Jaycar and it should be a quick hook up, (I hope). I will get used to it...

Hi, I am fitting new bafang brake levers to my bike. I aso bought myself a new controller, it should be here soon, I wanted to fit Brake Switches so I bought the Bafang brake levers with 3 pin Julet plugs x 2 new and a throttle control, all part of my upgrade, I have the throttle and the brake...

I appreciate that info, I am looking at that but I think I will just repack it if I have to, it would cost around $650 for a battery and rack, then another $100 for a charger, $100 for a controller upgrade so it is getting to be like a home that is overcapitalized, I can repack for around $200...

Thanks, I haven't been involved with battery powered vehicles before this so I really dont get it yet, what would you recommend to repack the battery with, perhaps off eBay, I think I can do that so what would you pack that blue banana with.

I will wait for the new controller to arrive before I start further testing, thanks for the info.

I'm a bit confused, the battery is rated at 24v, there are 20 x 1.2v cells, I thought it was doing pretty good?

OK, I had a friend come over, we figured a few thingsout and we did a bit of testing, after a bit of fooling around we just now got the battery up to 24.5 so after a short load down it looks like the battery is ok, I did a test of the bike on a stand and found no assist coming from the...

Hi, I charged for 36hrs and it pushed it to a variable voltage that fluctuates (after disconnection from the charger and 1 hr to settle) the voltage varies between 22.8 and 23v. would discharging the battery and recharging have any effect on it? would it hurt the BMS to do this?

I am of the hope springs eternal era, I hope it is in pretty good shape, the bike has less than 100 hours use on it for 13 years and in pristine condition with original tyres. If the battery is unserviceable I will repack it so it isn't really that important. I took a look at your advisory...

OK, any thoughts on the twist grip upgrade?
