    My new bike

    Hopefully the charger will work once the mosfet has been replaced, if not could probably fit a 7s bms and then use a generic charger. The battery pack only has a 2 pin output so seems normal. I've checked around and the cheapest I can find a standard charger is 70 euros from holland, I dont...

    Connecting 3 wire speed sensor to brainpower controller

    Recently installed a brainpower controller but as the hub didn't have a speed sensor white cable from the hall sensors in the rear hub we only get a speed and distance reading while the motor is running. I've bought a 3 wire speed sensor kit off ebay with a spoke magnet. I attached the sensor...

    Building my first ebike battery

    Roughly how much do these spacers increase the pack size. I want to keep the pack inside the existing battery holder and I'm already going from a 3p pack to a 4p pack which there is space for inside the holder if I remove some of the foam packers that are around the existing pack. I've seen 2...

    Powacycle Milan 2 battery issue

    I couldn't find the exact cells online. I took a photo of them in my first post. The 4.06v group are now fully charged but while it's apart I think I will charge each row individually to give its the best chance of working. I will also make a external test point so I can watch the voltage...

    Powacycle Milan 2 battery issue

    Yeah I know its probably had it now due to age I just wanted to know if a. 14v difference in voltage was a significant imbalance. I just made a 36v lead acid battery to test the bike with some np17s I had lying about and the bike seems to operate fine with that. I might solder on a couple of...

    Powacycle Milan 2 battery issue

    Hello I found your forum after googling about battery issues on my mrs ebike. We bought it used last year very cheap, it was sold because it cuts out occasionally on hills. My Mrs used it a few times but it only cut out once or twice as she is a bit lighter than the bloke we bought it off. It...
