Look up stokemonkey, I ran a small hub to the cranks on a recumbent trike which worked quite well but the pedals spun with the motor so get the gearing right to have an 80 rpm crank or preferably less. Best bet use it as a hub and buy a BBS01 or similar for the crank drive, lighter, better...

I would strongly suggest clip in pedals, you can buy walking shoes and normal style sneakers now with cleats so you don't walk funny or make loud clacking noises. Beside the extra power to the pedal by being able to add power all the way around the pedal stroke it prevents a foot being bounced...

It should do for the internet but it is the bottom of the barrel for CPU performance, it even makes the Atom CPU's look good :( It will end up like the netbooks of old after 4 or so years they can now not even surf the net adequately.

Go to your settings button, under the windows button in the bottom left corner, hit the about tab and tell us what the CPU model is, then we can make an educated reply. Most likely its just a windows or software glitch that may need a factory reset or better still wipe and reload windows from...

I think they tend to put them in the motor casing for cooling purposes.

d8veh, any issues with the motor seeing 36v instead of 12v from the PWM?

This may interest you then, there are calls for helmet laws (and have been for many years) in the Netherlands due to deaths and injuries and that is with all their cycling infrastructure and traffic laws...

Fair enough, I have not had any problems dealing with Banggood and if you research the brand name of the bike it is pretty well respected for a Chinese company mainly doing electronic products. The battery is removable to lower weight further or to take the battery in for charging without the...

So you haven't spotted these yet? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/RC_PRODUCT_SEARCH.asp?strSearch=electric+bike I have been eye balling one of these as a cheap charger for dual batteries...

Just came across this head light on Banggood, 12~80v so should run off your ebike main battery. It should be bright with these specs :) and draw about 0.4 amps per hour on a 36v pack. Light Power: 125W Actual Power: 15W...

There is 1 only at this price and I would love to buy it but I have 4 operational ebikes / etrikes and enough bits to build a couple more :)...

This statement is correct you never heard of them that is the only difference. I had 2 people I was at school with back in that era that ended up in hospital with head and other injuries, one for a few months! A well designed helmet is actually a benefit in hot weather from my experience as it...

Have you fully charged the battery? When you test ride and the battery cuts out does the battery indicator show low voltage? A faulty battery can show a healthy voltage with no load and rapidly plummet under load.

Without pedalling yes but as it is PAS only I would assume there would at least be some assist, with reasonable pedalling it would be close to correct on a flatish ride, I always allowed 80 km out of a 10 amp pack when pedalling and I only ride in hilly terrain. This is what make range estimates...

Xiaomi had a lot of publicity re their new ebike recently, this is the non carbon fibre version, 786.47 gbp. Key specs Shimano three-speed internal gear hub 14.5 kg (32 pounds) 16-inch wheels Electric motor with up to 20 kph speed 5,800 mAh, 36V battery with 45 km range Bluetooth enabled...

"Laneri Falcon on the average spends 22% less energy on every km of the path and develops a 17% higher speed compared to its analogues." This is BS, if and thats a big if it is aerodynamically superior the improvement will only occur at higher speeds above the legal assist levels. if you are...

I recently got a similar sized ebike full kit (minus battery) on clearance for $88 aud (50 gbp) delivered, when fitted with a 250w controller it is actually quite a nice assist. I am now playing with the original controller 800w but with a potentiometer in the throttle circuit to limit speed and...

We all started somewhere, some will be happy to just ride around their neighbourhood, others commute and some become addicted. They are all a path to a fitter life and I find it good mentally as well. Good luck with the commute :)
