    Front hub conversion on vintage delivery bike. Battery suggestions and best motor query

    There should be an english thread on both sides so the crank arm and chain ring should come off, behind the chain ring should be another threaded bearing holder similar to the one on the lhs. Bearings should be old money so 1/4", replace all after a degrease and clean. Crank & chain ring might...

    Battery repair Kit

    At a later stage of a cells life one is better replacing all of them, if one fails others will soon follow and a new cell/s will be proping up the bads ones so it's life will be shortened.

    Yose power 36V 250W 6km/h limit

    Some displays might not allow the disablement of the throttle option, even if the manual says so.

    Motorcycle broke looking to convert old bike to electric for a 12mil commute

    Ebike batteries are in business like any other to make money and pay staff, buy a new battery with case and all new internal trimmings and one pays the going rate for a quality built battery. Opt for a recell using original bms and case etc then it is cheaper. The sanyo is 42a max capable but...

    Motorcycle broke looking to convert old bike to electric for a 12mil commute

    Hubs aren't always straight fwd, some times drop outs need some work done for a proper fit and then a torque arm needs fitting. Not all drop outs are suitable.

    It's not just the 22/23 mm width of the end caps but also the extra length the caps added, the cell with holders is 90mm long.

    Which bike to convert

    Of course legal hubs won't match hot rod mid drive bikes, one correctly outputs temporary 400 - 500w and the latter over 700w and some quoted at 800/850w. As we know mid drive brands are puuling the wool over someones eyes regarding true legality.

    Simplest job is stick a mid drive BBS01 on it and a 14/15 ah battery.

    electric moped fault

    I think it went cheaply, it was a 1k deal imv with it being an original Mike Burrows built machine. The issue going forward is sturmey one sided 90mm braked hubs , they are scarce now and out of production. One reason why MB stopped them and likely the reason why the Taiwanese company no longer...

    electric moped fault

    No I didn't buy it, spent the a good part of the late am & early pm looking after my bees. It found a home pretty quickly as you and I knew it would. The only issue I have with it is the ability to attach a trailer as well to be proper articualted, just imagine a 2.4m bike and a 1.5 m or longer...

    21700 battery build

    A1. Current for copper is 4x greater then pure Ni and approx. 8x that of Ni plated steel. The Ni plated steel is purely to make copper buss usable with the arduino based spot welders and to add rigidity. It is pointless using copper and pure ni together when ni palted steel gives less...

    Solar battery charging for ebikes.

    In #8 I mentioned lifpo4/prismatic cells for a static/storage battery, the example I gave was quite extreme at 280ah and £149 each module. For 12 v storage battery one would need 4 x 3.2 lifepo4 module connected in series for a nominal 12.8v battery. If one wants to build their own storage...

    electric moped fault

    It's hard lesson to learn buying these super cheap unbranded celled packs with 78 cells in side, even more so that they are 21700 cells which means under £2 per cell. You get what you pay for which in your case was about 9 months usage and most of that was the bike being broken. Others on here...

    Controller question

    Your hub apears to be a cst or swx02 hub both bafangs, the KT will work fine but I would opt for 9 mosfet controller esp if you ride in hilly areas. The 9 mosfet handles heat better for inclines, the 6 mosfets ones get hotter then a hot potato at times on hills at slow speed.
