    Battery Re-charging

    The best level to recharge is the nominal voltage or voltage it is left at, nominal being 3.6 - 3.7v. If you are using the bike regularly it doesn't really matter but once you get to 50/60% it depends on your usage/range, it may be more critical depending on the battery capacity and intended...

    A mystery rear motor with 36V controller and 48V battery

    The OP would need to monitor the battery voltage so it doesn't drop below 41.5v, one could try and rely on the bms to cut but unless voltage is monitored one could be stuck miles from home.

    A mystery rear motor with 36V controller and 48V battery

    Your hub is a Direct Drive model although it has a restriction between 250w and we assume 1000w it probably has winding of about 390rpm or so. In a 26" wheel that might equate to around 30mph at 36v/ 22a, at 48v the rpm will increase by some 33% to over 500rpm that in turn would equate to about...

    A mystery rear motor with 36V controller and 48V battery

    There comes a point where to many amps x voltage will be add to much heat for the controller to handle, the mosfets will be heat sensitive with a max temp range. At 36v/22a the controller will typically give 792w at 48v this jumps to 1056w, the components in the 36v won't be normally...

    Help! Freego Hawk no power

    A simple test without measuring to tell if the controller is faulty. Leave every thing connected, no battery power. Lift the wheel and turn clockwise does it free wheel easy ? If severe resistance is felt then disconnect the hub motor cable and try again, If it frees up then controller is...

    Help! Freego Hawk no power

    For the Freego you only need a 15a controller kit but it won't hurt to get the 17a kit for just a bit more pep, 17a will give nearly 14% more power. A plug and play diy kit form China only needs two wires to be usually connected by the end user and may need a different connector if not...

    Help! Freego Hawk no power

    For a diy kit it's a no brainer to buy direct from China source for half the cost. The £185 kit is KT/Kuenteng I believe from another post about this kit, one can buy the same kit for about £70 - £80. For your money you get controller, lcd display, throttle, PAS & brake cut out if needed. To...

    Is there a universal mid mount motor standard going to be developed?

    With ebikes there are few standards in electronics, the few standards that will be found is in China hub motor ebikes. Hub motor wiring is pretty much standard, I have four different branded hubs and all are the same. Most use the same water proof motor connector whether Bafang, Mxus, Aikema...

    Wattage conundrum

    A 11.6ah & 14ah battery can't use the same size mah rated cells, the 14ah would have to be 14.5ah then both would use 2900mah cells. 4 cells in parallel for 11.6ah is 2900mah cells, the 14ah battery will either use 2800mah or 3500mah cells depending on how many in parallel. The cells may be the...

    Wattage conundrum

    We ned to know more about the new battery, a link to the product preferable. Critically as vfr has said it depends on the cells used in the battery and your controller max current rating. With top quality cells one can get abut 25/30miles in low power. My lightweight small 24 cell 44v battery...

    Help! Freego Hawk no power

    The price of 185, I agree is a stupid inflated price but I guess if they are doing the work they have to make a profit somewhere so a big mark up on the parts is expected plus labour. We shouldn't really be surprised though as there aren't many options open to have this work done in the open...
