    How do hub motor specs translate into real world power?

    On BMSBATTERY's website they do a few versions of the BPM hub motor. Bafang BPM 48V500W Rear Driving EBike Hub Motor. RPM: 393, Code: 10. Bafang BPM 36V500W Rear Driving EBike Hub Motor. RPM: 393, Code: 8. Now both of these have the same RPM. My question: Would the 48v hub produce more...

    front torque arm UK?

    Frank, when you say cut down, do you mean file the hole to get a tight fit, or cut the plates edging to look aestetically pleasing?

    An unwelcome pick up

    Damn those nails :mad: I know you're gonna do a write-up later, but could you wet our appetites with which version of BPM you're running (350w/500w) and battery voltage please :D

    Using a 36V battery on a 24V bike

    I did e-mail LSDZS many moons ago and asked about their controllers. They said the Cyclamatic one is just an older version of their current LSW70A Micro Controller. It will run on 24v/36v and 48v. Surely the BMS in a higher voltage battery would cut power at the threshold for battery protection?

    Using a 36V battery on a 24V bike

    If yer on about using a 36v battery on one of your Cyclamatics, the controller can handle 24v/36v and 48v. Manufacturer LSDZS. Might be worth trying it out with 36v, as i'm sure the hub motor can handle the increased voltage ;)

    Unusual fault on Cyclamatic Power Plus

    Hi Willin' The Cyclamatic battery is 9Ah. It's inked faintly on the side of the battery. As for the range you are getting out of a battery only 3 months old, it appears to be poor. In perspective, mine's a year old, i've carried out a shunt mod on the controller (draws more amps than...

    How true and centered are BMS Battery wheels?

    Sorry to sound a bit thick, but can someone explain in layman's terms, maybe with a diagram, what this means :confused: Does it affect the effectiveness of V-brakes?

    How true and centered are BMS Battery wheels?

    I know a few of you have bought complete wheel and hubs from BMS Battery. How true and centered were they when they arrived?

    Where is "Off road" ?

    Good question Trevor. Just to add to that, would country parks be classed as off road?

    Gone for the Bighit

    Ok, glue both the leads that are supplied with the charger to the charger. Write a note on the charger 'ONLY TO BE USED FOR CHARGING BIKE BATTERY' Wrap the charger in fire-proof, non explosive military grade kevlar shielding. A few post it notes on the fridge to remind you about the dangers...

    Gone for the Bighit

    The solution would be to use a little bit of super glue to permanently glue the mains lead plug into the charger socket. Then it would be just the same as a charger with a permanently attached mains lead. " simples " :)

    Bighit modding

    I'm not trying to upset the speed police here, but seeing as the Bighit uses a normal rear wheel/cogset, would the following be true? If the highest gear on the cogset was exchanged for a smaller one, would that theoretically :rolleyes: raise the top speed of the bike on the road?

    Surprising speed

    Buy one of these: Axis Seat Post Rear Carrier Bike Panier Rack RRP £18.99 | eBay UK Then you can either gain access to the battery by quick releasing just the rack, or you can quick release the whole of the seat post and remove both at the same time.
