    3 lights off 36v Battery

    In terms of the current these lights draw, this post might be helpful .... http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/12614-brightest-possible-front-light-6.html#post175868 As you can see, on 'high', the 3-CREE coupled with an MJ-818 draws 2.5A after a 36V-9V DC-DC converter and 0.6A...

    That fake signer at Mandela's do

    Sorry to admit it but that had me roaring with laughter. Anyone who has spent time in Africa will likely understand exactly why. It's impossible to put into words ....

    Fault finding help

    Takes a steady determined hand, considerable force and a multimeter probe or similar ... just don't slip and go through your hand ! :p I managed to fit them with 12AWG wire without the tool but did wreck a couple of pins practicing. Deans are fine for power but for phase wires (where you have...

    Cree light battery/battery mod/questions

    I think the point he's making is that he stocks a variety of options, they are all tested before listing and realistic vs claimed results are given to make an informed choice. It's not just his own stuff that he sells and some of the others have better characteristics. They're also more...

    Cree light battery/battery mod/questions

    I use one of these (9V version) for CREE and magicshine lights run off 36V battery. It's good for up to 3A and copes with a rear light plus a 3-CREE front light (even on high setting) fine. tch-warehouse are quick to dispatch and send from HK or Singapore, not Shanghai so arrive much faster than...

    Carry a passenger on my bike

    Well, it sounds like there is only one way to find out ... and that's to get a willing and game 'companion' to try it out. Knee and elbow pads at the ready ....

    Bafang CST or BPM

    ^^ for throttle only I still think it's the best option and didn't change my controller when the new ones came out. Subject to upgrading the relevant connectors like phase wire bullets etc. But then I run a Cycle Analyst and Dave made me a FET switch to isolate the controller so the LCD thing...

    36v horn

    This is still going great and really useful before very sharp (and slow) blind corners on my way home in daylight when I always toot a horn even in a car. I was looking under a (car :eek: !) bonnet today and realized it's as loud and about the same size. Seeing this reminded me ... a very...

    Bafang CST or BPM

    Also ... the S12S is for running sensored, S12P for running sensorless. However the KU123 can run either sensored or sensorless so if you have any issues with Hall Sensors you can still run CST on it fine in either mode. I run mine sensorless .. doesn't seem to make much if any difference. Does...

    Bafang CST or BPM

    I think the other difference is that the BPM motors (unless they have recently been changed) have the grey nylon planetary gears whereas the CST uses the blue composite gears like on the American BMC V4 hub motors on its clutch plate. Well, the ones from BMS Battery do at least. The material is...

    3 pin connector

    What bike/connector do you have and what amps does your controller run at ? Do you mean a connector for 3 phase wires from controller to a hub motor wheel ?

    Any opinions on this greatly appreciated please

    That's a high powered 1200W nominal 2400W maximum mid-motor system on a 2012 full-sus bike aimed at freeride and downhill sports use. The performance is comparable with some £6k+ bikes but the battery is a bit on the small side at 600Wh for all that power. As far as comparing it to something...
