I think its worth the money as it allows me to carry enough battery for 150 miles (if I fill the EM3EV bag as well that would be 200!). The grey part is thick vinyl type flexible plastic and easily painted over with plastic paint. It is well made and despite several offroad excursions over the...

If you look at the photo you will see that the terminals on one charger are wired to the same terminals on the second one. There is then a pair of wires from that to an XT90 plug. The negative lead passes through the wattmeter and the positive splits into 2 just out of the pic with the other...

ONLY if the output from that charger is between 41 and 42 volts. You need to charge to 41V on a 10S battery

If you dont discharge below 3.6V you wont need to balance them. Just check them with a cell checker daily. There is less than 10% capacity left below this level anyway.

I use a pair of Meanwell NES350-48 power supplies in parallel to charge at 17.6 Amps.. They start when plugged in and taper off to virtually zero when the batteries are full. I also have a pair of 24 volt Meanwells so if I need all 6 batteries for a ride I connect 4 to the 48s and the other 2 to...

Now that is super stealthy.

Then add the cost of a welder and cell holders and all the strips to join them together and of course the technical knowledge to actually build one safely. Lipo are not unsafe when handled properly,just like petrol in a car,if you mistreat it then it can hurt you.

Say it takes 2 hours to charge your batteries and you set off at 8am. \simply connect the batteries to your charger on the evening and set the timer to switch it on at 5.50am and off 2 hours later. Then just unplug and away you go

Sounds like an internal problem. Is the motor under guarantee\? I currently us a 44T front cog which is the smallest standard one. I have just bought an adaptor and 38T one for offroad riding which I think will be perfect...

Over 600m

Here is 15 pages of everything you ever wanted to know about Multistars from the experts over on ES https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.phf=14&t=61672&hilit=multistar My 48Ah 44.4V battery (6x16Ah Multistars) cost me £500 (try and find a ready made battery that size and see how much it...

I once took a pair of 16Ah Multistars down to 3.34V and got 16.7Ah out of them! This is borne out by tests on ES that they do actually have more than the stated capacity in them. I can get almost 700wh going from 4.12V down to 3.62V. The thing is that the initial voltage drops quickly then they...

Before ordering I suggest you make sure it will actually fit on your bike. I have a Cannondale Trail 6 with a 73mm BB and it wont fit mine as it would hit the chainstay. I currently run a 44T standard chainwheel and it misses by only 3mm. I have just bought this...

Not at all. This is my ride from today. Have a look at some of the inclines,especially at Newbiggin. Thats 19.4% https://www.strava.com/activities/478136972

A few Co2 canisters in my pocket. Far easier than having to carry a pump

I wouldnt use a front wheel kit in Edinburgh due to the cobbles and tram tracks. I have a 1000 watt front wheel kit so know what I am talking about! A BBS01 or a GSM would be the best type for the area and if you browse through these forums you will find plenty of advice and where to buy. Those...

You need to make sure you are in a low enough gear to be able to pedal easily just as you would without a motor. Using full throttle from a standstill especially in a high gear will cause overheating. The earlier BBS02s had issues due to weak fets but newer ones are a lot better.

I also use an Additive V2 bag. The EM3EV bag holds one pair and is great for trail riding then if going any distance I put the V2 over and it can hold up to 6 batteries although I usually put 4 in and that leaves plenty of room for spare tubes,beer etc...

Are you setting off in a low gear. It will judder if the gear is too high.

When using lipo itsbest to charge to 4.1v or even 4.15 rather than 4.2v as this greatly increases cycle life. There is very little energy in that last little bit anyway. Another thing I have found is that if I dont discharge below 3.6v I never have to balance my packs. Once I go below this they...
