    48v parrallel to 96v series battery switching

    if you use 12V SLAs, you power your relay's solenoid with just one battery. As you connect each relay to one 4S block, each needs to cope with 54V/40A max load, automotive relays should be OK provided that you switch off the motor before you change over 4S2P to 8S. Make a PCB for the relays and...

    Jivr folding chainless ebike on Kickstarter

    I reckon development costs will easily exceed £250k. They have so far got £91,182 pledged on kickstarter and still 6 more days to go, should get to about £130k. My concern is that they only got 81 sales on this compaign, not enough to guarantee a future. I am sure they'll get bigger orders...

    Split Rim??? Freego Eagle

    e-bike spokes are usually 13 gauge, 2.2mm in diameter, made in high tensile stainless steel. If you are stuck, measure the spoke's length, from the elbow (where it meets the motor's flange) to where the spoke meets the rim and email andy @ woosh.

    Is 28mph too fast for a pedelec?

    safetyfast's bike weighs 18kgs and cost him £770. By changing his BBS01 with a 48V BBS02, you can get 28mph without pedalling for about £40 more. The issue is you'll go faster more often because you can, therefore increasing the risk of coming up a cropper.

    Fitting BBS01, crank housing clearance.

    it should be OK. You are going to lose the front derailleur cable. The rear derailleur cable may need nudging away a liittle bit. The motor won't put pressure on it in any case.
