    Newbie - How to plug a wattmeter to my bike?

    Franck, I'm not sure about your message. Do you mean you propose to do the battery pack for anyone that needs that? (anyway I know your price and I'm pretty sure it'll be over my budget) And thanks Scottyf, I may replace my HTX connector: HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : HXT 4mm Gold Connector w/...

    The advantages/diadvantages for LifePo4 batteries

    Just a question to understand: Why does the lifepo4 from Kudos have 1500 cycles but only 1000 for (some) others? What's the difference and how could we know that?

    New Project - Portable fully suspended ebike

    THanks D4veh, Actually, I'm now planning more to just use the backpack to carry the batteries with me when I leave the bike. When I'm cycling I think mounting the batteries in the rear rack would be much more convenient. You said it's very difficult to remove the batteries without a key, but...

    Seriously, I do nothing wrong with my scooter. In France it's allowed, why is there such regulation in UK? I need to find a way to hide the motor. Do you thing using a small carpet on top of it would work?

    Is there a way to make it stealthy? If people don't see it's electric, it should be fine, right?

    New Project - Portable fully suspended ebike

    Yes, I could simply buy a new frog case. Or I can take this opportunity to do put the controller and battery directly in a backpack (for thieves) ps: sorry for spamming your post Jerry

    Wheels doesn't seem really straight?

    Guys, I noticed that recently. The rear wheel doesn't seem to be completely straight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twYFfFYP2bc I'm not sure if it's normal or not, do you think it's a spoke problem and what should I do to fix it?

    New Project - Portable fully suspended ebike

    Jerry, this is amazing!! This is exactly what I have to do with my bike. Actually for my actual bike the frog case is completely broken, so it's one more reason for me to do that: Conhismotor doesn't want to replace it. I don't know why I believed in their fluffy 2 years warranties.. my...

    [Noobie] First step to Lipo

    Thanks for all these answer. I'll do my best not to put my batteries below 3.5V/cell. I tried to rode to work today, 3km on this electric scooter. It was really funny. My lipo went from 20.9V to 19.9V. So 1V for 3 km. So I think I have around 10km range for 1 battery of 5S 8AH (Or 148W). So I...

    [Noobie] First step to Lipo

    Hehe, that's exactly what happened Jerry. Now I have to be very very careful. I don't wanna die from Lipo lol. By the way, I connected a battery monitor but I don't know how to read it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6EemUkyDao All I can say is that look like a bomb... And I have 5s of...

    [Noobie] First step to Lipo

    Yes, that's what I'm going to do: ==> Here I'm going to solder the bigger cable to the smaller one with tape protection. The only problem is that I don't have heatshrink and I may need to use tape. I'm going to see if I can find a shot that sell heatshrink outside today (even though it's...
