    48V battery

    wouldn't it safer to check the divider's voltage before and after and post the result here for you to confirm?

    48V battery

    30C meaning 30 times 8 meaning 240A at 22.2V = 5,328W The charging rate is limited by your power supply. 400W is a very high power. Don't forget there are a lot of factors that can kill the PSU, the charger and the batteries.

    they also have loads of other goodies - like their BB sensors. One of the problems I found when fitting a hub kit is the bottom bracket - often the existing BB has too short spindle to accommodate the pedelec sensor. Add a purpose built bottom bracket into the kit would make the fitting much...

    Do 20" bikes pull better than bigger bikes?

    I reckon that Hatti would be delighted if Jonah becomes a partner.

    Another Sirocco CDL "noise" topic!

    it's good that you remind new e-riders to check every thing is tight and adjusted after the first 100 miles. crE has probably done more than 100 miles already and will have to do this himself, he bought his bike by mail order.

    Falco e-motors kickstarter project

    the voltage does not matter much, people compare price/battery capacity. The main point of the kickstarter project is about linking the controller to a computing platform. As I said, you only have to control the throttle. It's not difficult or expensive to do. Someone could probably knock it up...

    thank you Shemoz for digging out their 2014 catalog. The RL looks nice, 1.9kgs, would suit a lightweight bike, me think.

    Falco e-motors kickstarter project

    of course we can guess where the 50V and 420WH come from. That's why d8veh asked Rakesh to confirm. There is such a lot of knowledge among members that it's not easy to impress members with the Falco kit. It's the same with talking up the possibilities with an app. There is a difference between...

    Falco e-motors kickstarter project

    you see the problem with description Rakesh. We call 10S batteries 36V. So we would call 12S (yours) 42V and 13S 48V. A 12S 10AH would have a capacity of 420WH. Also, from a practical point of view, we need motor performance chart to compare your motor against other offerings from Crystallyte...

    Another Sirocco CDL "noise" topic!

    crank bolts: Tighten it (on the squeaking side) until it stops squeaking. You need a long handle 8mm allen key like this one:

    The limit on the battery is much more critical. Leave it alone. you'll kill your battery if you modify the battery shunt.

    Sirocco CDL chain too loose?

    you can increase the chain tension a little by tightening the 'B' screw on your derailleur - give it about a turn, clockwise. http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/rear-derailler-adjustments-derailleur

    Sirocco CDL chain too loose?

    As long as the chain runs smoothly over each and everyone of the rear cogs after you change gear, there is nothing to worry about. Put a few drops of oil or Lithium grease on the chain if it feels dry. I read in another thread that your battery seems to rattle a bit. Try putting a couple of...

    woosh will try to 3D print a box for standard size 6 FET and 9 FET controllers to be attached to the craddle. That may suit the xiongda 6 FET controller. Or you can design your own box, email it to Woosh to print on their 3D printer.

    University E-Bike scheme

    I know that Woosh had discussions with their local authorities 3 years ago about a similar shared e-bike scheme. They were not selected though, the contract went to a dealer supplying Giant e-bikes but maintenance was the big issue because of a) the users do not take care of the bikes, the bikes...

    University E-Bike scheme

    one way round this is to offer the approved contractor/concessionary some free space or low rent and electricity to operate a hire scheme. Hire contracts between students and private hirers are much more flexible. The students will then be made responsible to look after the bike when they are...

    that's correct. BMSBattery.com have similar cradles but with controller built in, that should make neat hub kits.
