    Help! Few questions - does this new motor sound normal? (video)

    Yes 1/4 left on display sounds about right. Don't forget a proper 10s battery is 42v fully charged, are the tools batts only max 18v fully charged. 32v is a good idea, that's a downside to tool batteries one doesn't have much leeway.

    Bafang front hub 250watt motor more speed

    Just seen the pic, motor is code 12 so is 260rpm. 10 -15 mls of ferro would keep things cooler if you opt for higher current.

    Bafang front hub 250watt motor more speed

    34 km/h / 21 mph suggests the motor is 260 or 270 rpm, at 13s/ 48v one should manage close to 45 km/h /28mph and see the motor rpm increase to approx 346rpm. 14s/52v would be more comfortable. For a 700c/28" wheel one needs approx. 12.2rpm per 1 mph. How much current the swx02 will take I...

    Help! Think my ball bearings on my rear wheel hub have gone?

    Hub bearings don't usually cause resistance unless rusted quite solid due to water ingress, one may hear rough rotation but not much more. Without the vid hard to say anything. One can try a simple test with no battery power, connect the controller phase and any halls. By hand rotate wheel and...

    Bafang front hub 250watt motor more speed

    Any motor speed is governed by the motor winding (rpm), once this is reached the motor reaches a saturation point where as you have seen the power backs offs having reached the optimum speed, also known as Back EMF. The only way to increase the speed and to prevent BEMF is to raise the voltage...

    Private E Scooters to be Legalised

    They will have to have to have some requirements set down in law for them, just as pedelecs have. One would think they will follow suit speed wise legally but totally unenforceable as will the motor power will be. Another dogs dinner of just giving in, all goes back to no real effective policing.

    Private E Scooters to be Legalised

    The UK or at least England only has a token police force that isn't fit for anything except for amassing silly patrol numbers to turn up at an incident in force, or everyone being taken from wherever they hide to police G something jolly for world leaders. The politicians have no option but...

    Sometimes they all much look a like, though the BP ones often do have a name written on the label.

    Bafang swx02 more speed project speedpedelec

    32km/h is 20mph approx., you have reached the terminal motor rpm for 36v winding. If will go a lot faster if you chuck it over a cliff or find a steep hill to ride down. For more answers start a new thead in the appropriate sub forum for speed ped's, where they belong.

    Can anyone compare these two bikes.

    Decathlon seem to have a good track record for warranty and returns.

    Private E Scooters to be Legalised

    All I can say is once legalised, A&E will see a big increase in injuries. Most usage I see is appalling and the main issue is the speed and dicing with traffic. At speed the manoeuvrability of them is too quick and sudden, riding these with arm, knee & head protection must be mandatory esp with...

    KTM Elycan 27.5 with Panasonic rear motor

    It may not charge as the voltage is above 95%, try draining it and then see if it will charge.

    Help! Few questions - does this new motor sound normal? (video)

    Try releasing the nuts, I don't torque mine up I simple do them spanner pinch tight and then give max 1/8 - 1/4 turn. If you have steel forks a T/A isn't needed. S09s is 22a so defo dial down the power, one shouldn't need max power. Although I don't use 16", but 700c with the front G370 mini...

    Help! Few questions - does this new motor sound normal? (video)

    It's a lightweight hub so don't go throwing 20a at it at 48v as likely the nylon gears will melt. 12 -15a should be plenty for 48v, one can get the 17/20a controller and dial down C5 and then see how it goes before giving full current. The wheel should freewheel ok, it is new so might wants a...

    The 24/36v controllers will have 50v caps, one would have to use a 36/48v s06s. At 48v you might see 19mph.

    Help! Few questions - does this new motor sound normal? (video)

    15mph is as fast as the motor will run in 16" wheel for a 328rpm hub, if wanting more speed one will need to try 48v but even then one won't see 20mph. For a 16" wheel, every 1 mph needs approx. 21 rpm.

    Sound perfectly normal for no load speed running.
