My guy uses Tesla, Solar Edge or Enphase if the budget allows . I am hearing things about Solid State batteries not quite sure why they say it’s years away . Or what they are yet ? Solar is the future thats why now all the big players are already squeezing out the smaller companies if every...

yes I saw when I caused the shut down of the battery by connecting it to the KT controller and the Suntours motor without connecting the Two small wires from the battery mount that when The battery continued to flash all lights in fault mode . when I plugged in the charger that also flashed red...

YOSE sell the after market Phylion Carrera replacement I suspect this is a HL product sold under license so I was thinking along the lines that this BMS might do the job ?

Thanks at the moment I think a local battery specialist will be the way to go until I have more hands on experience if it is even viable or cost effective long term .

Hi yes I looked at these when I bought an ex display Carrera Vulcan a few moths ago which I sold. After making a light weight Giant with a Yose Kit which also works very well in my opinion compared to factory built GIANT SO 400 QUID V 3K ! I want to go back to an MTB for riding around London...

Thanks yes happy to solder I used to make Scale electric cars when I was 11 or so LOL. And fix Slush machine s when I was a bit older and on the most part can fix my own appliances. i recently built a gas BBQ from an old electric Bain Marie trolly the Calor Gas engineer said I was competent...

So really any battery can become faulty regardless of who buys and sells it Or manufacturers it to some degree. This explains the new Solar Regs a 15KW battery fire for instance would be a disaster !! And all the people who have had large batteries fitted indoors should really think about...

yes totally agree , new regs in solar now prevent installation of batteries inside the house ie the loft for instance and it’s a good thing. But when you have perfectly good branded CE marked products ie Carrera batteries for instance then to stop people basically selling these products SH...

This is what happens in a nanny state when Prohibition’s are introduced into a free market place . One could argue do more harm than good In a lot of cases.

Yes I think that’s what I need . If it’s viable so a basic BMS like in a HL battery for instance . I do not see why SH BMS parts if they would be compatible as the battery is SH

This I would like to keep just Suntour Motor and Carrera battery . Swap out everything else then also add a rear rack battery so I can ditch the car and do solar surveys around London by bike in the new year. So Two batteries on the bike one Carrera one probably YOSE . If it can be done ?

Morning yes I understand that but because it’s now so difficult to sell a relatively new battery which pays for a whole new aftermarket kit . It’s just the battery issue ie can we keep the original battery ? And Suntour motor so reversing what is usually done because of the cost of Carrera...

Hi All Because e bay have now stopped the trade in SH batteries. I was just wondering how difficult it would be for a professional battery engineer to remove the link from the Carrera batteries to allow them to work with other controllers? Obviously because of there cost it was better to sell...

Hi all I am trying to help out a chap who has a Carrera Vengence , suggested he joined on here but he is having an issue with that too. (ve got the vengeance 2.1 i believe (oled display) my motor went in the original wheel error 43) He bought a motor on e bay unfortunately it’s the wrong one...

Thanks Peter , I have seen it done but ours we now have Two now ,one is going to Vietnam shortly. One Antham conversion on e bay is a mess massive battery on top of the cross bar. So they definitely throw up problems. I think the older One which we are keeping in the UK might fit a Mid drive...

Apologies to the Giant shop in Camden I have just received the following e mail from them : Hi Steve, It was good to speak on the phone last week, apologies about the slow reply. I was waiting to hear back from Giant HQ regarding your bike, as due to a recent increase in e-bike theft we have...

Thanks Mathew The u tube sales videos do make thing look good but the reality is usually different.

Thanks yes I was thinking along the same lines with a bike like this . So far I have looked at HL down tube from YOSE that did not fit too big . A water bottle style would probably work The u tube videos look good on a flat road for the Pikaboost I can see problems with bumps and pot holes...

Morning all When I first joined on here I was talking about doing a conversion on an older Giant Anthem full suspension. Please see photos attached. I have now like some of the members come across this LIVALL PikaBoost 2: conversion . I was thinking rear wheel hub motor and a frog battery...
