    Two questions re spokes (one specific and one general)

    Afternoon all I lost a brass nipple on my spoke inside the tyre (8fun motor) The LBS retrieved it and were going to true the wheel for me. However, it seems other spoke is broken at the hub. So new spokes required and, being specialist gauge, the LBS dont have them. BMS battery seems my...

    i can tell that the data on their website does match up with that registered at companies house. And that they filed 2012 accounts. So the signs are its a bona fide company. its a small operation - one director also the 100% owner - pretty teeny turnover in the grand scheme of things...

    Booster battery advice required

    That's a fair warning . It can kill your bike But there is no reason for it to do so particularly as long as you have an understanding of limits of your controller/ motor and take sensible precautions My main pack is still going after bypassing the BMS nearly 6 months ago. I expected to get a...

    Advice - Adding a booster battery ?

    I'm afraid I have never got to the bottom of that question . The general rule seems to be dont mix chemistries. On the other hand people have on Endless Sphere forum. I just dont undertand the various risks I stuck to same chemistry - maybe you could too and just buy a lifepo4 booster. For...

    Advice - Adding a booster battery ?

    If you charge them separatley then this doesnt matter EXCEPT that you will lose the low voltage cutoff

    Advice - Adding a booster battery ?

    You can add a booster battery - the exact limits of which depend on your contoller (I presume its a 500w controller of about 20a?), the c rating of batteries used, and the motor windings I have a 250w 8fun motor and am using a 250w 17a KU65 contoller from BMS battery. I have a 36v bottle...

    Battery discharge cut out voltage

    Izip Skyline Shut Down Problem

    are you able to fashion, beg or borrow a workstand ? I just thought that if the disconnects can be proved to never happen when there are no bumps or road buzz (even tiny ones) but do always happen in real world conditions - then this would lend some additional evidence towards an...

    cycle computer apps?

    Strava - excellent for post ride data. All the graphs, speeds, elevations and maps you could wish for Co-pilot for looking at whilst you ride i.e "at 200 yards, turn left" its a bit like TomTom Cruicially, neither of these need a connection to work or use up data on the move. Copilot...

    Odd partial loss of power – confused ?!

    I cant remember now - nothing abnormal, around what i'd normall expect at end of my 7 mile commute (one way) so around 3.9 or 4v per cell. lucky escape then - and yes, you are so very right about the homework !. Its one I already knew and had originally made the pack so that you could not get...

    Odd partial loss of power – confused ?!

    My idiocy does seem to have damaged the booster pack. Not , I guess , severely but each cell pack will only charge to 3.85v so the capacity appears reduced Not really an issue but I post just for possible interest of those who understand these things ,
