Soundwave you have competition! Look at his mastery of the cable tie! :D

I would put a front basket on the handlebars if I had one of those.

What controller would you marry that to?

Because it is too far from an electric socket? :p

This position is only ridable if you have no hills, which probably explains the huge direct drive hub motors the americans put in them. The slightest slope and you get off and push. This is probably the reason most bikes like this are either fixies, Sram Automatix or three speed hub.

The Bosch system is fitted to many bikes that don't have lights is the main reason I think. The German law saying that lights had to have a separate power source dates a bit, I think it has been changed otherwise the big name manufacturers wouldn't be wiring their lights in... Many companies...

For the BPM motor it would most likely be you fitting a kit to an un-powered trike or cargo bike. Most of the Dutch and Danish ones are Bosch powered.

I think you would be best upgrading to a Dutch or Danish trike or cargo bike. http://bakfiets.nl/eng/modellen/ http://www.butchersandbicycles.com/?

Some of which last for days on end... :eek:

A trekking bike should be fit for long distance commuting. After all it is designed in theory to be laden with panniers and the world is the limit, or at the very least a pan European road trip. We hardly ever hear of problems with Bafang mid drives and almost never of problems with the...

There must be a wire in the controller somewhere to plug into. The mounting instructions are probably pretty thorough (German and not Chinese...)

That would be Vegemite wouldn't it? Disgusting stuff only an Aussie would like... :eek:

And do yourself a favour and put XT60 plugs everywhere - female ones on the battery ends and male on the controller.

Yes but... I don't want to buy a battery from BMSbattery... I want a nice comfortable European guarantee. For the moment nothing too much has gone wrong with my kit I don't like playing against the lottery :D There are German and Dutch companies who sell 17 Ah Panasonic or Samsung HL batteries...

No not yet. The one from the 09 battery won't fit (from quick measurements) and there is a capacitor to unsolder and resolder flat. There was briefly the SO9S 20 Amp controller on the BMSbattery site but can't find it today. I was wondering if it could be removed from its casing and installed...

Yes. And on this page you have a whole selection of lights that will fit a Bosch system

I am also interested in a source for an internal controller for the HL battery pack. As my standard of living has taken a turn for the better I am already planning my options for next year :rolleyes: And a 17 Ah HL battery is on my wish list.

Who is running one with an external controller?

Final battery voltage?

Yes I was cheating a bit above... :oops: The 4S battery will charge at 5 Amps and the 6S at 3.9 Amps so 0.39C the charger says that it has 7 Amps available. I haven't tried "fast charge" option because I want my batteries to last until winter. When I get a real Lipoly pack I will buy an AC...
