I would agree that 1000w seems overkill for your purposes Just to give an indication I have 250w 36v 8fun kit that I run at 44.4v . I happily nip along at 23mph with very little rider effort and can get up some steep old hills with more input. Goes down to 20mph as battery runs down

I have a handlebar LED which shows 1)PAS level (L,M,H) , 2)on/off switch and LED to show battery full/empty 3) a 6kph “walking button” 4) and 4 x LED to show battery full/empty Thing is PAS is not fitted and I run the 36v system at 44.4v so the LEDs are lit up all the time. And I...

Glad you are ok jerry Just to add my tuppence - I've had two bad spills in 3.5 years commuting daily Neither my fault (beyond any doubt!) Wearing a helmet both times. Head hit pavement quite hard both times. Both helmets seriously damaged. Both skate style. Otherwise I personally escaped...

Thanks Jerry Getting hem from china doesn't really work out unless you need other stuff as well due to shipping costs Good spot on the uk link

Blimey flecc, it sounds like a seriously miserable disease in the cold and you certainly have my sympathies. You'll have to forgive me - I've simply never heard of it before now. I wonder if anyone has tested your theory ? Sounds like it would be worth investigating

Although you had 77 years I'd have hoped some technical advances over that time would help eg thinsulate, gortex, electric heated gloves ,liners, jackets, bar grips To name but a few

Well, no load speeds are the same (with 0.4mph) which can be accounted for by just about anything.I cant measure the actual output without totally dismantlelling my controller/housing. This is a time consuming pig of a job so I'm not keen. On top of that the speed seems back to normal today and...

Iike this one Thanks

thanks - i'll have to test it and revert was a bit slower this morning and there was no wind. hmmm can one change the signal if is giving out a low one ? Or is it just a case of buying anotther

I've just changed an old throttle - jut a basic thumb one as I broke the old one. Oddly the motor is now far far quieter ? There is no doubt whatsoever and def motor noise rather than spokes/discs/guards causing it It is back to how I remember it being before I swapped controllers from 8fun...

Total overkill but.... Perhaps one could buy gore tex material (you can easily get MOD stuff in eBay) cut to size and cover a battery ?? Unlike simple plastic sheet this should still allow some level of breathing ability ? Any ideas from technical perspective ( hassle/money/looks being a...

Deserves more than a "like" or "+1" Is there a interweb way of showing a stadium full Mexican wave of approval ?? If not may I coin it :) !!!!>--<!!!!>--<!!!!>--<!!!!>--<!!!!>

Ok I'm really confused I bypassed the BMS totally - including charging through output leads . However , the cells are just not going out of balance. After 6 months of almost daily use ! How can this be ? I mean it's 10s 4p and every single S read at 3.75v after my usually commute Happy - yet...

Good grief - terrifying stuff And yes - it absolutely is the same seller Rest assured I won't post the full name - leave that t you as /when comfortable

Thanks for confirming Charger is def 2a but I am msnullay balancing via balance leads one s at a time at the moment

I got some from halfords if no maplin near you

Hi there Just wondering what the max amps I can safely put through the balance leads to charge is ? 2a I'm guessing as that's what the 8fun charger is rated at ?

Patm - sent the name to you on a PM

I contacted a seller about 6 months ago. He was a uk based guy building packs sold as for ebikes. He used li-on square prismatic cells at 3.7v nominal per cell I asked about BMS . He told me I didn't need one I ran a mile Am I allowed to post his name ? Not necessarily same person but I never...
