    I need solar panel charger for my battery

    Yes, GS. Think about putting a 30A car fuse inline on the red wire of the 10cm tail, inside the base of the bottle battery to limit the balancing current between the two batteries.

    Crank drive - mid-drive vs. hub motor (Woosh Big Bear / Krieger)

    I am partisan to crank drive. The krieger is a better bike.

    The Krieger is the second generation CD bike from Woosh, introduced in September last year. It replaces the Sirocco CD 8-speed, the first woosh CD bike in January 2013. The Sirocco CD was revolutionary at the time, for being the first Woosh CD bike, costing well under £1,000 and equiped with a...

    I need solar panel charger for my battery

    you can make the tail and extension leads using JST plugs and sockets but if you ever touch the wrong pole when you reconnect, the lipo bricks will vaporise the plug. It's that powerful. I would spend £4 on Anderson connectors to make the join between the tail and the extension lead because...

    eBike conversion kit help

    I asked because there is another thread last week about hallomotor's adverts in ebay.co.uk - it appears that their kits are sold without UK warranty because the company operates from China. You would be better off buying from an advertiser on this forum for their support and warranty...

    Silicon cable 10cm to the two battery terminals: terminals - 45amp Anderson Powerpole connectors or 4mm Gold Connector w/ Protector? Mean cutting about 10cm photo?: Yes, make a tail about 10cm. Can I solder or not? crimp them first and solder afterwards if you like. Don't use too much solder...

    for your budget, there is no comparable bike to the krieger. This is because it has a bigger and more powerful motor than their other CD bikes, only their step through Santana-CD is fitted with the same motor and controller.

    agreed. The Haibike sDuro with Yamaha CD motor is a good example. The Krieger is another.

    don't knock it, win or lose, still worth £,£££ in PR term. I did feel sorry for Amy and Volt, what with her bike being restricted, she must have been knackered by the speed limiter when trying to catch up with Jason.

    Help for purchasing a hybrid bike please!

    most e-bikes are fitted with 1.75" - 2.1" wide tyres, they are easy to replace. The removable LCD is a feature only available on Bosch bikes. Your budget of £1000 restricts you to Chinese bikes, they have LCD with plugs but not easily removable though.

    Bafang BBS01/02 33mm BB locknut tools (x2!) -— format, vendor?

    for the lock rings with indents, I use a cheap lock ring tool like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIKE-BOTTOM-BRACKET-LOCKRING-LOCK-RING-TOOL-15-MM-PEDAL-SPANNER-COMBO-/161076750996 for the one at the bottom left corner of the picture, I use my fingers and a piece of rag.

    how do I remove the speed limit on an Ananda controller

    result is too close to call. If the bike can get over 10A then you could say it's restricted for certain.

    1 controller operate 2 wheels?

    that's what i.magnet planned to do. Even with two brushed motors, you would want to split the power 40% to the front and 60% to the rear. With BLDCs, if they have Halls, you can only connect one set to one controller, if they don't have Halls, then you can't parallel them anyway, because the...

    1 controller operate 2 wheels?

    it depends on the motors. Most modern e-bikes have brushless DC motors (BLDC), each has three phase wires, the current going through these phase wires must be locked to the rotor's position, otherwise the rotor won't move. There is no way you can keep the two motors synchronized, therefore you...
