Hi all, Hoping for any ideas on a brushed 36v x24 powabyke fault. The fault is intermittent and is as follows 1. Turn key and led handlebar lights go on and nothing more occurs at all This happens 90% of time Or 2. Start pedalling and then twist throttle , motor engages but only for a 2...

Hi all I have kinda inherited a powabyke trike with sla batteries for sale It is in excellent condition having had light use only It has also been kept indoors Charger and keys present and correct ! Batteries holding good charge (but as sla cheap replacements available) £425 for collection...

*please do move to technical moderators if you prefer * On a different thread I got discussing possibility of wirless charging a 11.1v booster battery made of 18 x 18650 cells in 3s 6p I decided. see if it worked on 1s 6p (one 3.6v pack of 6 cells of about 1800mah each). I do totally see this...

Powermat wireless charging matts are now ridiculously cheap. I paid 7.99 delivered for a mat that can charge 3 devices at once and a universal receiver coil. I also then paid 99p for an old ipod touch receiver case as well. I stripped the induction coil out of the iPod case and wired it to a...

I took an old 6ah powabyke battery apart - suspected dead cells I was shocked to find 30 x 18650 cells with no BMS whatsoever Not suprisingly several cells were reading 0 volts The rest were all over the place Even worse - to my mind they were simply 3 x blocks of 10 cells in series Surely...

ok so this is not actually fixed to an ebike in this instance but no reason it couldnt be Although aruguements of legality and "grey" areas of law are likely to be fewer than the usual 250w/15mph/thottle stuff And it they are not fewer , they will most certainly be shorter argue with this I...

Dad has a pair of Warmawear electric gloves that he uses for skiing. He really suffers with cold hands but says these work a treat. Only issue is they use 9v batteries which last an hour or two at best so its very expensive. Cheap 9v are a waste of time and last about 5 mins A quick look on...

Hi all a mate has got hold of a powabyke x24 2011 mode. It does have an intermittent fault which we think we have traced to the contoller. I cant be 100% unless he delivers to me and lets me test it. Pretty sure I can have good stab at confirming/tracing fault Having never played with...

a 1000 sprouts can generate 63v This Christmas Tree Is Lit by 1,000 Brussels Sprouts whose gonna biuld the first Sprout powered ebike !

Hi all my Imax B6 seems to not recognise the third S of my 3s booster pack As it charges through the main leads it recognises a 3s pack but shows 0.00v on the individual series monitor during balance charging. It does show voltages for s1 and s2 The pack is clearly fine - i have tested...

The type you can get on eBay for under a fiver but then have to wait 6 weeks for deliver Managed to short mine out and after one in a hurry ! Thanks Kirstin

I have a handlebar LED which shows 1)PAS level (L,M,H) , 2)on/off switch and LED to show battery full/empty 3) a 6kph “walking button” 4) and 4 x LED to show battery full/empty Thing is PAS is not fitted and I run the 36v system at 44.4v so the LEDs are lit up all the time. And I...

Iike this one Thanks

I've just changed an old throttle - jut a basic thumb one as I broke the old one. Oddly the motor is now far far quieter ? There is no doubt whatsoever and def motor noise rather than spokes/discs/guards causing it It is back to how I remember it being before I swapped controllers from 8fun...

Broken yet another thumb throttle. This time the lever simply snapped off and cracked the ourt plastic ring into the bargain. I have another spare but, due to the way my contoller and wiring is mounted and waterproofed, its a pig to take apart and put back together again Question is - is...

Seems that military surplus might be a good cheap way of getting goretex over trousers Anyone got any experience here ? Thanks Kirstin

I'm upset - after 3 years my Curana C lite mudguards have bitten the dust (my fault) And they don't seem to make them anymore They were fantastic as the closest to invisible I've ever come across Question is - what would the ebike community recommend in their place ? Thank Kirstin

Due to being forced to take a second paycut in in 4 years :( but having discovered an excellent local source of free 18650 cells :) I have decided to build my own 44.4v pack rather than go LiPo ( i had planned to use 4 x 22.2v 5ah packs). A laptop shop gives me them free and only about 20% are...

Afternoon all I have been waiting for my battery (36v 9ah bottle) to die for 6 months I assumed that once I'd bypassed the BMS which had fried I'd get mere few weeks at best. But it still it trucks on - charging to 42v and doing 15miles a day I'm not complaining at all but interested to know...
