    Major Momentum New Supplier on Ebay

    The guts of the hub battery are shown at 14:05 in the video. Does it look to you like the battery cells are part of the rotating mass or do they look stationary while the hub case spins around them? BTW, this appears to be their supplier/manufacturer for both the bike and the hub battery...

    According to this TSA site, things may not be as glum as this thread suggests. Safe Travel For reference purposes, 25 grams ELC (equivalent lithium content) is generally equated with 300 watt-hours worth of battery. Unless I am mistaken, 300 watt-hours is well within the "norm" for most...

    New Super Light Tongxin Motor Design/Kit

    Newbie here just come out of lurking. :-) If the pedelec unit has two coils inside, it would send two evenly spaced pulses to the controller as the magnets pass by. Knowing the order in which the pulses are received would allow the controller to determine which way the crank shaft is being...
