Project #2 in progress!

There are several curves and tables on the web that show the voltage of Lipo’s vs the state of charge. Most are related to RC packs rather than 18650 cells, though if you know the manufacturer of the cells in your pack you should be able to see a data sheet for them. Here is a typical chart...

The HL battery comes in two styles, one with a red rocker switch for power and a USB port, the other without either. They both have a level meter as you describe, with a small press button between the led’s to show the level of charge. Without the switch you turn the controller on/off from the...

Another vote for XT60’s here, though they need patience when you are soldering them as the shells melt easily. You can also get the larger XT90 with spark suppression built in. https://electricbike-blog.com/2015/10/29/xt60-xt90-with-spark-arrestors-why-you-should-make-the-switch/ I would not...

Just been out on my bike with the throttle disconnected, no motor cut-outs, no hesitation after pulling away from a standing start. Thanks for the hint Fordulike. I never use it much anyway, I may never replace it!

You need to shorten the outer part by the length of the sensor, but not the inner cable. The outer can be cut with a good pair of strong pliers using the wire cutting edges, or preferably a pair of side cutters. You will have to disconnect the cable inner from the calliper, unthread it and...

I have a 350W BBS01 and have noticed 'similar' behaviour. I was starting off in 3rd or 4th with pedal assist set to 7. The motor cuts out as I start to pedal, then cuts back in again once the speed or cadence apparently gets over some threshold. I checked the controller settings using the USB...

I bought a conversion kit in the UK last year and found several companies were ‘shut down’ over the winter due to slower sales. The company I used still has a message on their web site saying ‘back February’, it’s been there all year!

A cheaper alternative can be made using a string of car bulbs, use enough to get the load up to 5A or more and check the battery voltage. If the voltage sags rapidly you have your answer. I have a BBS01 and really rate it, but it has to be fed good steady power, you are wasting your investment...

Up the Current limit to 18a on the Basic page and you have a 350w version, all the other settings look similar to mine. What speed limit is your LCD set to? My BBS01 feels a lot livelier once I upped the speed limit above the 27kph mark, though it doesn't move my bulk a lot faster! What sort...

30A Powerpoles can take up to about 4mm cross section cable. For single wires look for tri-rated cable on 'the bay' or in your local electrical wholesalers, if they sell it by the metre.

Part of the problem is that many of these web sits are set-up by third parties, either as a service or as a favour, and the business then doesn't get all the tools and know-how to keep them up to date. As you say, profit margins are tight, workforce thin on the ground and just because you know...

I contacted electricbikeconversions as I liked the fact that they are very close to where I live. They didn't respond via a mail sent from their web site so I rang them. The guy I spoke to was very open and friendly over the phone. I had decided t(after much research) hat a Mid Drive motor was...

It sounds like the terminals have been covered in silicon sealant or similar to keep the water out and increase insulation. A sharp modelling knife and patience should allow you to dig down to the spade terminals. If not you will have to cut the cables as close as possible to the batteries and...

I have found the program easy to use and I'm getting the hang of what the various parameters do. Having read the enormous thread on endless sphere, it seemed to me that my kit was programmed pretty sensibly. 'Keep Current' is the next parameter I want to play with, I'm trying to get the feel for...

I have recently installed a BBS01B on my Hybrid Bike: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/hello.25606/ The Settings as it arrived from e-bike sales are: I changed the Throttle mode to 'Current' as shown on the throttle page above, that is the only change I have made so far. The Max...

Well it is all fitted and here is a quick pic of the bike after conversion. The motor turns out to be a BBS01B. The instruction manual is a bubblejet printed booklet with fades where the ink was running out, I was a bit underwhelmed by that. The LCD display is the C965 but the instructions are...

I have bought a 250W Bafang BBS01 Hub drive Kit from e-bike sales. My Bike is a Viking Notting Hill. I bought its 2 years ago and have been very slow to put any miles on it. Fingers crossed the kit will arrive this week then I can make sure it all fits!

Since I found a thread to comment on I thought I had better introduce myself here. 64 year old just ordered my first Conversion kit for my hybrid road bike. I'm trying to 'fight the flab' but finding the hills too much to bear. Here's hoping the eBike conversion will improve my enthusiasm.

New member here, been reading lots but this is my first post! I admire your determination anotherkiwi to use RC packs instead of a regular eBike pack, I decided I wanted the plug and play simplicity of a Li-On battery with a built in BMS when I decided to order my conversion kit. In my RC...
