For anyone who is interested, i opened up my Cyclamatic controller box today and spied a manufacturers stamp on the circuit board: Nanjing Lishui Electronics Research Institute Co.,Ltd. www.lsdzs.com Absolutely no chance of fitting anything bigger inside the controller housing though, it's as...

Good to hear the battery is up to the job. What's the model series of the 8Fun motor? Also, is it any good up the hills and could the throttle be easily replaced with a different type?

Blimey, i know a ship's crew can get a little bored and hungry at times, but what's the chances of one receiving a complete battery from this eBay seller :D We offer 3 shipping methods to choose! !Remind! If battery Use Surface shipping method,The battery Will be consumed. We hope the...

Connected to dual Magic Pies no doubt :rolleyes:

Oh no, case reopened :eek:

''Mobility scooters have them'' ''I think I'd prefer my half size twist throttle'' ''I've used one, it stuck open, I don't like them much anyway, they don't feel right to me, but there again I'm used to a motorcycle'' Case closed, half throttle it is :)

Surely someone has used a thumb throttle :(

Having used a twist half throttle (not full length) for a while now, i like the way i can hold it at a particular position by gripping the non moving part of the throttle. It still allows fully controllability of the bike on part throttle. Anyone who has used one will know what i mean ;) I've...

This link might give you an insight into charging factors: How Will Toshiba's SCiB Battery Technology Impact EVs? - DIY Electric Car Forums z0mb13e is right about the weight though. I think this will be the major issue against using this type of battery. 6000 cycles, now where did i put my gym...

Very good point, if it was a better technology, i think we would have heard a lot more about it. Looks like LiFEP04 is leading the way for the future ;)

I'll drop them a line and ask for details. Would be strange them charging more for older technology.

It's just that i was browsing on Conhis Motor's website (shock horror) and i noticed that the LiMn2O4, on a like for like basis with LiFeP04, were a little more expensive :confused:

Thanks flecc, i thought with the lack of info on it that LiMn2O4 was very new technology. I'll steer well clear :)

I did do a search on this site for information on LiMn2O4, but didn't find anything :confused: In comparison with LiFeP04, cost not a factor, which one is the best for electric bike applications?

Araldite is good, strong adhesive.

Beat me to it :rolleyes:

I think it's all about motor controllability. If you have a bike system, like Old Timer described, that has a little bit too much kick when the pedelec operates at slow speed, then yes you need to be able to tame this with brake cut offs. If the pedelec and controller is well designed, then it...

I ride mostly on bike paths when i can, so i'll probably do without the brake levers and pedelec on my project. As for the situation you describe, i get that with my current Cyclamatic. I've learnt to stop pedalling moments before any slow sharp turns and either let it coast round or use the...

In theory yes. I remember years ago i built a record player turntable using a reed switch/magnetic drive. It was only an experiment and produced excruciating amounts of audible wow and flutter :eek: Reed switches are capable of handling fairly high voltages, but not sure they can handle large...

So i can just omit the cut off levers without any mods to the controller?
