Ahh, so the main advahtage of lipo is lots of relativley small purchases vs one big one......much easier to get under the marital radar :)

undertand the voltage increase point but weight-wise there seems little diff. For example a 13ah LiCoMn from BMS is 3.5kg. The 6 packs needed to get a 44v 10ah will be fraction over 3kg. Add in a few more grams for a harness and the weight saving seems so low as to have no real meaning...

Thanks vm amigafan Hmm, at 100 for lipo, 80 for harness and c50 for charger setup plus a few bit and prices - prob 250 "on the road" cost That's vs 48v 13ah battery and ku93 from BMS battery at 270 delivered Not seeing much advantage in either weight or price - basically 20 quid and a few...

At times the hub was spinning out out but provided stability - why, no idea - gyroscope type effect maybe ?!

My tuppence - also found a front wheel hub operated on throttle to be brilliant in snow. The key difference over pedelec being the all wheel drive is totally independent. You can balance , or indeed unbalance, the power between the front and rear at whim. I don't know why but this was a huge...

Clever idea but cable locks of that diameter are next to useless - can be cut in seconds

Thanks again all Amigafan - that looks just the ticket . No way could I do anything g like that, just the sort of thing I had in mind. May I ask what it cost roughly ?

Thanks all ! Seems pedelec members re like buses. None then 3 in 3 minutes :)

Thanks Dave - I understood these had to made up ( prob just me getting confused trying to follow the ES lipo for noobs thread) I'd like 10ah or a little more (price/ease dependant ) at 44.4v nominal Really appreciate the help. Have spent many a lunchbreak in confusion on ES and hobbyking ...

Hi All, Whilst I'm still procrastinating over how to boost my bikes speed I've been revisiting the 44v RC Lipo possibility as i should be able to hook these up to my existing setup (8fun 250 front kit) and get a speed bosst without chaning anything else Thing is - I'm a little scared. I...

raise you one of these ! upstand

Agree with this as got a similar pair- fine if not riding as you can make fists and the fingers get heat that way. Useless on a bike

glad both you and bike are largely OK I came into work today 3 miles and drop of 300m Then it has snowed like mad here in Brighton Dont fancy chances of getting back up than 1 in 5 hill !

They've taken veggie burgers of the shelves as well now - traces of UniQuorn have been found

Sorry for the silly question but how can it work on anything from 12v to 80v ? Is it simply a matter of more volts = more lumens ? Very tempted whatever the answer , looks good and must be very bright at 15w

Thanks everyone , really useful albeit disappointing info ! Ah well, forget it then. It was a hopeful thought given I have the battery and panel for free. I have no desire to spend large chunks of cash on this ......id rather spend it on ebikes Solar doesn't really pay in uk is the message I'm...

Hi all I have inherited a 40w Maplin solar panel. I am also moving house in two weeks and the new place has large shed with sunk bike hoops in it. Perfect for an entirely off grid charging I thought. Stick panel on roof, connect to 12v 80ah leisure SLA leisure battery. Just need to buy an...

All I know is that the Burische I have tops out at 23mph which is what I want - so thats how come I want to use the motor and controller from that bike. it. This is not on throttle alone is it ? Just intrigued to know how to get this speed from a 250w 36v setup. Is it down the motor...

The more I read the less I know it seems. One day I'll get past the hump on the ebike learning curve ! However, like nrg I am ever grateful to those , such as jeremy, who can explain complex stuff in simple terms. It's quite a skill

And what's wrong with niche market anyway That's where all uk ebikers reside ! :)
