    36v battery with 48v motor

    Yes - I have a 1.6kg AKM-75 front motor in a folding bike and I am 16.5 stone ! It seems to do fine https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/converting-a-little-folder.47261/post-717289

    36v battery with 48v motor

    its just a bit of a cheapo controller - try to find one with a KT controller - they have power based PAS levels rather than speed based PAS levels

    36v battery with 48v motor

    No Maybe an AKM75 or Bafang G62 - what is your weight, fitness, what terrain are you likely to use the bike for ? A 48V 10Ah battery would have approximately the same range and weight (and possibly the same number of cells) as a 36V 13.5Ah battery

    36v battery with 48v motor

    You can, but it will run at 36/48=3/4 of the claimed max speed (so if it runs at 240rpm at 48V it will only run at 180 rpm at 36V) Why not get a 36v front hub motor ?

    Scott Genius MC50 BBSHD build

    Hi, No, I have just got a Genius mc40 and I'm putting a rear hub motor on and will use it for roads / light trails. It is the 2007-2012 model. It looked as if it could be converted to a mid drive though so I'm interested in your experience I'm slightly worried I will enjoy full suspension...

    What a mine field!

    Have you bought the Bafang 615 ? I'm not sure if there is an option to use 12 speed - there is also the Tongshen mid drives - they might be a possibility - maybe ask @Woosh Is there any option to return the bike and get your money back ? I'm not sure I would choose to start off with a 12...

    Eleglide M1 plus 12.5 36v battery

    It just will have much less range (3/5 ths) and as with any battery , as you use the battery the voltage drops and you get less power (but because it is a very small battery the voltage will drop quicker) I would seriously investigate AZ's option - you could get a 3rd party battery 36V 15 Ah...

    Pedelec Nirvana

    Yes - the rear suspension of that Scott Genius has 3 settings that you can adjust from a lever on the handlebar : Locked (a bit pointless for me), Downhill (6 inches of travel) , Traction Control (4 inches of travel and compression damping increased). I think I will leave it in Traction...

    Pedelec Nirvana

    I think that should be fine, the chainstay doesn't really flare out from where the existing 42t gear ring extends to and there is loads of clearance. I think I can position the 48t gear where the existing middle gear ring is and still have a decent amount of clearance and will be a better...

    Pedelec Nirvana

    Thanks, I'm looking forward to it as a project. I've ordered that crankset / chainring, removed the existing front derailleur and chainrings , ordered a new chain, ordered 2 marathon plus tyres. Need to put on lights and mudguards Although it's full suspension, I will use it mostly on roads...

    Thanks @Waspy I was going to use the existing chain as a measure and then add 6 links (going from max 42t to 48t)

    Pedelec Nirvana

    Ok , removed the crank set, the highest gear on there is 42t, ideally want single 48t gear at the crank (and I'll keep the 9 speed cassette). Plenty of room for a bigger gear - won't hit the chainstay Non chainside Chainside What do I buy / do next ! (Have got bottom bracket tool if...

    Wisper Where can I get a Wisper 575 battery recharged?

    I think this was the cheapest place for a replacement battery last time I looked although might be worth talking to @Wisper Bikes https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/wisper-575wh-rack-battery I'm sure somebody here was selling a 575 battery second hand - don't know if they sold it eta...
