Alex thanks for the great info once again. will certainly look into lipos and from what i have read the latest lipos are a bit safer. steep learning curves.

bms say they cant ship batteries and will come back to me with an answer next week. ive asked em3ev. still waiting what about 3 x sla 12v 18 amps in series. will weigh 18kg and give 36v 18 amps. way too heavy?????? saw a youtube video how to do it. more a stopgap until a lithium can...

Hi Frank, thanks for the heads up. Em3vs actually show fedex battery shipping as the only option for buying a battery, bms don't mention anything but i had a problem with a £800 order this week and they refunded me immediately.

thanks alex most informative i think the cst bms kit wins. its cassette as opposed to freewheel and its cheaper. i had no idea the cst was geared which apparently is much better for riding without power. thanks again

Hi All Anyone got any experience of EM3EV they seem to have some good kit, I like their triangle battery pack and bag which makes a lot of sense rather than rear mounted. Would a 48v 20ah shrink wrap from BMS fit in the Em3ev or Falcon triangle bag by any chance as they have only 16 amp...

anyone got any pics of the torque arms fitted so can see what you mean. i have all the tools as i work on old motorcycles so should be able to work it out from some pics. i bought a set of torque arms off bms. do they just tie to the frame to stop the motor moving??

Hi D8veh, many thanks for all the info, So standard washers will be M12 and the specials will be m12 with a 20mm outside diameter, have i got that right?? can't see any one ebay at the mo but i found washers M12 x 20mm x 2mm thick http://www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk/A2_Washer_M12.html, will...

everything i need Hi, i'm now waiting for my kit to arrive in anticipation, however from what i have read i will need extra spacers, washers etc and other bits and pieces to finish off the installation, Can anyone recommend what and where i can buy in terms of small bit and pieces...

Hi D8veh, yes it was a question, thanks i will make sure i get the 48v lcd, much appreciated. regards mal.

Hi Alex, yep that would sort my disc issue at the back, great stuff, will do that instead. One thing i'm sure we covered but can't find the thread, I bought the CST bafang 36V rear wheel and there is no problem running it at 48V with the s12p controller, Thats it. thanks. mal.

frame Hi Alex, my frame is an alloy specialised and is a good few years old, i was looking at changing it to a steel frame purely for strength and durability with the extra 15+kg on the back. I have bought the torque arms so will give the alloy frame a go. a new frame would have rear...

Ok will order one. thanks

torque and drop outs could anyone advise the best type of dropout for the rear cst motor if i was to change my frame, my current frame has verticle drops and i'm looking at replacing with either of the 2 in the picture, the horizontal slide in dropouts seem better to me with regards to...

Alex, Good thinking!!! However I have changed my order 4 times now, sent 3 payments so i'm concerned about changing it again. looking at the chargers, the 48v 20ah comes with a 240watt charger, can i get one in the uk or should i get one for 30 bucks and chance changing my order again...

alex, had a feeling that might be the case. cheers for the advice.

hi d8veh when you say get the smaller battery do you mean the 48v15 or the 36v15 or 20a. i agree the bike should be pleasant to ride. ive ordered the 48v 20 which is only 1 kg heavier than the 48v 15 does the wrapped battery fit onto the rack. it seems unfinished like it needs to go in...

Hi yes i was a bit concerned about the 7kg weight, is there a central mount or bag i could use or is it too heavy for that? Charging at work next to a plug is no problem as i have a warehouse with easy access to plug sockets, so would'nt remove at work or at home. i don't have suspension...

d8veh, Alex, you guys are great, Answers at 1.30 in the morning, 24hour technical help Brilliant. The s12p says for 750Watt motor which is why I didn't look at it. But as you both advise that model then i'll get the s12p and the s12s and try them both. D8veh, you say the 48w 20ah is...

d8veh so the 500 w cst will run 36 or 48w on the same controller. my 15 mile journey will be 8 minutes less with the 48v so im happy with 22mph 36v will the 36 v 15ah high c have a better range than the 36v 20ah or will it deplete quicker?? the 20 ah has a 15a continuous the...

hi, d8veh, Alex, I think I would like to change my order to the cst 500w 36 volt wheel as I have the cassette on my bike with 12T top gear which should be ok and keep my 9 speed. I'm confused now as it says 36V but can this be run at 48V as I have order the 48V battery Also does it matter if...
