    To build or not to build ?

    Indeed I thought of that afterwards. Might even help with the cracking axel issue as your spreading some of that weight across more of the axel. I always felt screw on cassettes looked a bit vunerable due to the screw on bit on the hub not really being that thick. But I guess the design would...

    To build or not to build ?

    I think it's a good idea and anything that cost a couple of pound to ensure a potentially failure is avoided is great. So well done on getting something to work. I don't think it would work with my shimano though due to the spline not being fully round in the free wheel as the locking tool...

    To build or not to build ?

    What was the bearing size for this though!?! Sorry I don't have a verneer to check myself. It will help but the cassette is not load bearing as such but the bearing does make it a better spacer! Will be interesting getting it out if tapped in and you want to remove the free wheel.

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    There will be more available power at various voltages as it's like the multiplier. The point is though the bikes motor is driving through the gears meaning you get to decide where the power starts and falls. It would only be at peak that the batteries would pull over their rated discharge...

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    Fully charger lipo at 44.4v nominal is 50.4v so it would be right on the endue of that the caps can take really. With the voltage sag from current though it would be ok. If lipo os to much of an issue then you could just get a booster pack with the headways and find somewhere to mount it. Like...

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    I think from reading other posts that the tonaro comes with a max 50v caps in the controller. Even getting the little 6fet one from Bmsbattery would allow greater flexibility. Great thing about lipo is the lack of voltage sag vs other battery formats. But there delicate and need care, time and...

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    I don't think the 9fet will fit at all. This is the size of a 6fet vs 9fet controller. You can't hacksaw it either. I'd look at a basic shunt mod first before doing anything really expensive. That and remove the speed limiter.

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    You can use the ku93 controller from 30v to 63v. But you'll loose the low voltage cut out from the controller. It means you'll have to rely on the battery management system to control it. The controller is not programable. So you cannot change those things. Sorry I don't have diemensions...

    Another..Cyclamatic Power Plus Shunt mod...

    Nicely done. Much neater than my Bodge soldering.

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    You could go down the booster pack route and get a 3s battery and wire it in with the original battery to up the voltage. But it may be more hassle. But would allow it to be cheaper.

    KU93 36V controller cope with 48V Headway batt?

    60v Caps so yes. Open it up to check though as well as the Mosfet serial numbers to check their max voltage. My controller ran at 52.8v max for ages or 12series battery pack. And yes it also works sensorless.

    25 Ah battery for Panasonic drives

    Any idea's on pricing? Interesting through as its could be the answer for those who like to tour. I'd still prefer though to just have a super quick charge of an hour on a smaller battery. This way it would give you an oppertunity to have some luch and a quick top up. Wonder what the...

    What is the maximum price you would spend on an electric bike?

    Buy some weights and starting lifting. In a few weeks you'll have biceps like Popeye and getting that bike on and off the train will be a thing of the past ;-)

    £1000, that way you can still get it in the cycle to work scheme!

    Hardwiring a Torch light

    Hello all, Finially go round to hardwiring it incorrectly. Should give me a good few hours worth of light... Although its now getting lighter. But its nice to know I can go on longer rides without running out of battery. Here's a video

    BMSbattery Delivery

    Yeah its annoying that only last year you could get the lot for £150. Now its almost cheaper to get it from UK suppliers. I've got a small bulk charger on route currently thats cost me £40 so hoping that goes through no worries but will have to wait and see. I also paid a little more for the...

    Cheap eBay winforce lipo

    Yeah it's as I said previously unless you buy bulk in one hit then the turnigy packs or zippy packs are expensive. Even more so when you get from the Europe warehouse. Where as the winforce lipo does not change on postage or cost. Intact if you was to buy 6 you can get it even cheaper if you...
