Hi all My 8 fun motor ( bought from uk folk) has overnight developed a loud knocking noise The wheel is silent when rotating without power but as soon as I hit the throttle there is a knocking noise. So it can't be the wheel/ brakes etc - had to be the motor itself The frequency of the...

Hi All, I shall be helping a forum member troubleshoot issues on his bike on Friday. I’ve been running though the possible issues in my head and ways to test. The problems he has had are reminiscent of my own with the 8fun kit – the fault turned out to be the LED handlebar panel. However, as...

£300 budget for kit improvements Right – this time I actually have £300 in my mucky paws so I want to canvass opinion before I hit Buy at bms battery 1) What I actually really need is a new 36 volt battery (mine is really on its last legs) 2) What I’d like is a bit more torque 3) Maybe also a...

Hoping the battery gurus can shed light on this I have. 36v 9ah battery and a 11.1v 12ah booster battery I charged both on Thursday night and cycled 15 miles to and from work. Then I forgot to unplug and remove the battery - though bike switched off at handlebar. I never usually do this I...

Hi there I recently bought a new battery for my bike but it has a different connector No problem - I can easily make a patch (kettle to xlr) Problem is i both butchered the original charger and also no longer have easy access to the old battery This means I have no idea pin is positive and...

Hi all I have an 8fun motor (front) with a ku65 controller. I have a booster battery so overvoltwd at 48v nominal instead of standard 36v My bottle battery is on last legs so am going to order a new one from BMS battery (a new style frame pack at 189 usd) Question is - I am thinking of...

I have two turnigy accucel 6 chargers They discharge test at 1a max which is painfully slow If I set both of them on the same pack it should discharge test at 2a I think? (1a each) Is that right ? Or left ? Thanks

Hi all My bottle battery catch is utterly caput. This means there is nothing to keep it in place Other than the obvious , and ugly, strap/belt type solution does anyone have any bright ideas for a fix/bodge ? I do need to get it on and off to charge Many thanks !

http://www.gizmag.com/dual-carbon-fast-charging-battery/32121/ This seems a really interesting partuclarly 1) the safe/no thermal runnaway 2)a nominal voltage of over 4v per 18650 cell 3) The fact it is actually going into production this year 4) The lucidrously fast charge time I read this...

I was wondering wether the BMS from a synergie 36v 10ah battery that has phylion liCo cells (I think !) could be recycled into a new pack with rc lipo packs The voltage charges and cutoffs are the same, again I think, so I thought this could maybe be a way to have plug n play lipo ? (up to...

Blast This happened Do you reckon araldite will hold it ? I'm very dubious :(

This is actually, fully, bat ** crazy http://www.gizmag.com/dreamscience-electric-thrusters/31315/ 8kw motors ? 55v ? 700a ? Can this be posible in such a tiny device ? Can even latest lipo nanotech batteries deliver this ? And if they could would you want such a bomb strapped to your...

Afternoon all I've made 4 x 11.1v packs from scavenged 18650 cells. They are complete with balance leads, xt60 connectors and lipo alarms. They are all between 11 and 13ah packs. I also have a 7.4v pack. Five packs in total then but loads more cells if I wish r more I use one at a time as a...

http://www.gizmag.com/lumen-retro-reflective-city-bike/31323/ What a great idea - just looks a like an understated dark grey/black finish Until a car headlight hits it and it reflects like 3m tape I'd buy that paint

I've just bought an synergy 36v bike for 50quid Battery was dead hence the bloke sold - hadn't used in 2 years With keys and charger Took battery apart - it has 10 pouch cells of 10ah each at 3.7v they are hard pouches (metal) Testing the balance lead shows each cell at about 0.75v Is this...

afternoon all I have tons of 18650 cells at the moment and have several camping trips lined up. I also have a aluminium briefcase that used to contain a set of kitchen knives etc. My thought is to create a big mobile power pack using the 18650s with an integrated 12v car style cigarette socket...
