Being that I prefer a lower C of G for the trailer load I have modified the above CF trailer. The base has been replaced with my diy larger version which now measures 1000 x 600, I used 9mm marine ply and coated both sides with three coats of gloss varnish and a base coat of 50/50 diluted...

A thread that some may find useful, so do please add you own trailer pics here. My old Norco now decommissioned as the seat post weld snapped. The trailer is a Carry Freedom Y large model, I chose this one for the 90kg/200lb max payload.

The chain line with a bbs or tsdz isn't always good so even with a double one may not be able to use all gear options, on a mtb I converted cross chaining wasn't an issue.

I am terrible on hills and usually have a very low 36 or 42t gear at the back and also have used a double front ring set up, 32t is lowest that is acceptable on a bbs.

The hibike still looks Fugly however you place it, one simply can't compare it to an iconic rare piece of history like the Swizzbee. The Swizzbee set the mould for fast ebikes for the modern day likes to come about. Like the art deco movement the Swizzbee set out a stylish iconic design not...

I don't watch most links posted in case of disease infecting my pc, so wouldn't know what you said about hibikes.

Everyone to their own but that is one fugly bike.

Yep it seems the companies only two who have no SC charge look like they are willing to take on new customers but they say any quote won't be cheaper.

One will only do any damage if one shorts any of the pins together so if testing do it carefully, best way of testing is to have the opposite female plug with the wire tails secured in a strip connector block. If it is a Julet connector I have marked the pins for male connector, the other being...

I looked as supplier the other day who doesn't have an SC but they charge a higher Kw/h price per unit for dual fuel and the cost to me worked out 3x more then my current monthly DD.

Has your bike display seen any rain or been left out in the rain ? Also have you taken a voltage reading from the battery ?

Run the battery to lvc and cut out, not battery sag and cut out. Then measure the voltage it may rebound slightly but one can then see the approx. LVC for cells. Running to lvc isn't an issue as it is to protect cells from deep discharge, pointless having battery and not using it's full...

Controller voltage cut off is lower then a battery BMS, controllers tend to be set at 30/40v respectively for 36/48v. Usually one would want the BMS to control the cut off, All of mine cut out at approx. 3.2v per cell.

Ah is just the battery capacity and how far one can go & at 36v is 360wh so good for 18 - 40 miles depending how lazy one is.

Ignore the wattage rating of batteries the important specs one needs to know are the actual cell used and the BMS discharge rating. 500w means nothing and is nothing to do with the motor rating.

Bafang sell 500w geared hubs as do AKM , AKM also sell the Q128H in 800 form.

A few are being mentioned. Not quite China but Taiwanese and a top cell equal to the biggest players is a little known brand Molicel, it is regarded as an exceptional cell brand and prices are much the same as other top brands From the mainland it self. BAK 18650cnp it's performance is a good...

Go back and look at your pic in post #6, the disc fitting forms a rotational pattern of a more oval shape then a true circular one, looking at it 70% of the magnets likely fail to be pick up by the stationary sensor head. It is the diyer who doesn't understand or is familiar with being...

In your pic, it is clear 1. the disc ends don't mate and join and 2. the disc is so far pulled off centralisation that the sensor cannot sense the magnets bar may be on or two so any signal will be so poor that the PAS will be more then just erratic but next to useless in operation. To sum up...

Spoke lacing is fine, it uses a 1x lacing evident in pic #2 as it is only a 20" rim. Controller is far from basic it is a std KT 22a square wave model identified by the zws in the type identifier, it might be sensored or might not. Hub is 4:4:1 reduction geared hub so pretty std as is a Bafang...
