    E-bike light set. Anyone use these?

    Haha. Well as long as a potential buyer doesn't unzip my controller bag, or it will give birth to the spaghetti junction!

    E-bike light set. Anyone use these?

    Thats the main downside, wires..Some were so long I had to trim them down, bit of PITA when a cable has 6 little wires running through it. Just about squeezed all the cables into the controller bag though. I just like the all in 1 control really. Still can't believe how loud the horn is, louder...

    E-bike light set. Anyone use these?

    Out of interest I'm curious if anyone uses this set pictured and their opinions? I wired this direct to my 52v battery and they seem pretty good. Horn is deafening so I've put some tape over it! I put an inline blade fuse in, no idea what current they pull but I just stuck in a 5 amp. I guess my...

    52v Controller / Display options?

    Interesting. Seems the battery BMS rating is almost spot on for keeping it at optimum performance. Yes I was interested in how they decided on using 40a BMS in the battery, it's as if they knew that it was the optimum limit, although if the cell rating was actually good at 10a, the BMS could've...

    52v Controller / Display options?

    Thanks for the info guys. The batteries BMS is 40a, how does that translate per cell? Going by what you've said, 35a would be pretty safe. I certainly want to give it a blast from time to time, but within safe limits :p

    52v Controller / Display options?

    I've heard of this before and doesn't really concern me, it's still pretty rare. Different cells, different styles maybe different factory, different circumstances etc etc. Disappointing to hear that, the reviews I've read are good. I've no plan on pushing whatever I get to it's max though.

    52v Controller / Display options?

    I went with UPP off ebay, Chinese based but shipped from Germany. Mostly good feedback and at least with ebay there's paypal buyer protection. This is meant to have LG Mh1 3200 mah cells. I know they sell cheap packs with unspecified cells or "A grade", but for around £100 more they have these...

    52v Controller / Display options?

    Well it's supposed to have LG cells, I decided to avoid the cheapest. But I'm taking a chance on whether they are genuine as it seems to be common to find fakes. I guess the only way to be 100% certain is to open it up and have a close look but I don't have the knowledge or experience to be...

    52v Controller / Display options?

    I've just gone for that controller with the UKC-1 display, £150 from UK. Not cheap but I can't see much cheaper that fits the bill. I've had enough headache searching now :confused:

    52v Controller / Display options?

    Thanks but they seem to be even more expensive than the 1 I suggested. Maybe the options are much more limited compared to 48v controllers or displays at least.

    52v Controller / Display options?

    The battery I'm interested in getting is 52v 19.2Ah with 40A BMS.

    52v Controller / Display options?

    I've had a bit of a search but excuse me if I missed a thread. I'm looking for a 52v controller and display combo that goes up to 35a as it is for a 1500w motor. One that fits the bill would be this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154718598813 but it's quite pricey for the big fancy display, unless...

    Battery for up to 1500w

    Ok thanks guys. Looks like I'll have to go into the £400+ territory. The LG cell battery that Pete mentioned is double the price of my current battery (which is most likely generic Chinese cells) , but it's nearly twice the size and better quality, so it seems like a good deal. I originally...

    Battery for up to 1500w

    Yep, if it looks too good... At least they were honest in their reply :p
