    is there a controller you can say its a high-end thing... i mean, not that 30Euro controllers, i would be willing to pay 100-150Euros, if it has some features: 1.) adjustable under-voltage-protection 2.) adjustable max-current 3.) usable from ~20Volt up to ~50Volt what i mean is, that...

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    in my eyes, battery technologie is not a problem we are - at least for bikes - at the finish line who needs a bike that runs 100km a day ? for such distances (on a daily basis) you would not use a bike anyway and for tours or trips you can take another battery with you.. the batterys as...

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    it depends for sure on the point of view, what the vehicle is for you. if you only focus on getting from A to B, unimportant how.. then maybe you will choose a moped (gas, electric what ever) but i for example: if there was a electric moped with 100km distance for 1000 Euro and an...

    E-bikes will not exist in 10 years time

    Hi.. i have only cross-read the thread "battery-technologie will improve by far the next few years" i don´t see this so optimistically 1.) range and weight for my point of view, there was no much improvement the last 3-5 years when it comes to energy-density for batteries there was big...

    speed beast

    it would be even cooler, when there was some intelligent controller which could do this ! so 6 phases instead of only 3 cables run to the controller and the controller shifts between triangle and star "on the fly": starts with star, and when the motor reaches a certain speed, it...

    Video: Flecc was right with: "through gears vs. hubmotor"

    you have to differ between "help from the motor" and "a hill-climbing motor" if you expect to drive up hills without pedaling -> forget it (at least with the motor i have on the videos) its not able to climb a 9% slope with me without pedaling (~75kg (a average value between for and after...

    Video: Flecc was right with: "through gears vs. hubmotor"

    well, my desition for the front-hub was not inspired by any deeper thoughts.. there is only one shop in Austria selling cheap hub-motors... and one year ago he had only front-hub-motors.. i also thought, that it would be easier to mount a front than a rear hub now - at the end - iam...

    Video: Flecc was right with: "through gears vs. hubmotor"

    for the dog he is maybe wondering, why the trailer is missing.. because thats the way he normaly travels on our up to 50km trips through our hilly region ------------ for the speeds: for all values you have to concern, that i use a BigApple-tire, which is more like 26,5" than 26" in...

    Video: Flecc was right with: "through gears vs. hubmotor"

    when I first came here to the forum, I thought i need a bike, were the motor can use the gears.. Point 1: everywhere you heard, that Hubmotors do not run efficient at hills, and are not at all suitable for going up hills well.. part of that is right, but as flecc wrote in his article: we are...

    Bafang vs. Nano Tonqxin - torque ?

    yes, i know his postings.. he went from an heavy crystalite to the super light Nano... as said: i want AT LEAST the same torque at hills with the Nano in 20" as i have now with 26" and Bafang... with the bafang (21kg bike, 75kg me) the motor can go up hills up to 8-10% without pedaling...

    Lithium-ion Battery Life

    i think its more the heat that is what you should be concerned about... if the laptop runs every day for several hours, the battery not realy needed because pluged to the electricity-net, its for sure not good to heat the battery to 40°C all time here laptops also differ, if the battery...

    36v fast charger advice needed please...

    hmm... i don´t know the chargers you mention but: a acid-battery will not live very long anyway.. maybe - when your scooters are used often (rental shop) - it would be cheaper to invest in better batteries (Fepo4) that will last a lot longer than a acid battery (10times as along as the...
