    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    Shipping battery is expensive and i may be hit by customs too. Not to mention the packaging requirement to keep the pack safe. My view is rather to keep a low cost battery (under £100) with me and buy a new pack if it gets confiscated

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    Looking at revolutionwork, the system looks a bit more bulky than qiroll. I expect it to be heavier although I don't know by how much... Also, it looks like I wouldn't be able to use my own batteries from their FAQs... "Can I use other battery packs with Revos other than the one's that you...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    I wouldn't mind buying from them. A bit annoying that I'm not in the UK anymore (i m in paris now) so I'd have to pay customs........ :/ I'd need to ask about the total weight of the kit excluding battery. It looks to be heavier than the qiroll... the quiroll motor is a wapping 520g! Also...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    Voltage is increased to reduce resistance. A low power kit can afford a much lower voltage. Whether the kit is 24v, 36v or 48v, all that matter is the wattage output. So usually I see this more as an incompatibility problem than anything else

    They have a 33v model one that is more powerful and also doing regen. It's not much heavier as well. Maybe 3kg total? I've been thinking to use it, but after consideration if I want something more powerful I shouldn't use a friction drive that isn t as efficient as a hub or chain drive

    Yeah thats also one of my concerns. However checking online reviews it doesn't seems too bad. This one did convince me it may be the kit to use: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/review-qr-e-250w-electric-booster-bicycle-motor-and-b60i-and-b70-battery.35201/ He did say he managed...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    Yeah could be an option as well. 21700 on kit would be about the same price, safer and still as fast though For now it seems there may be a problem with the qiroll battery 3 pin connectors... and the seller is taking forever to answer... so maybe it's bad they are taking so long when i m not...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    Yeah I was wondering what is passing through the 3rd connector? I was wondering if the 3 connector was due to the phase sensor being used directly from the batterie?

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    I'm about to buy the quiroll kit and I'll create customs battery up to 100wh. I noticed the battery plug has a 3 pin connector: https://a.aliexpress.com/_vFa1TO Anyone has an idea why? It wouldn't be a ground pin? What could it be? Just want to know if it would work by just pluggin in a this...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    By the way, how can airline know whether my battery is 100wh or more? Could I just print a stamp on a 24V6AH battery to 24V5AH? And write 100wh? https://qirollshop.com/product/qre-muteb60/ The battery is barely over 100wh and its not that big at 190x60cm. I could just tell them it's a power...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    It would have been an easier decision if the qiroll (24V) was at the same voltage as the Ligo batteries (36V). I sent both of them a mail to see if anything can be done

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    x I've just landed in paris 2 days ago and the electric bike market is really s***. Ebike are overpriced and seller are stuck to their gun. I was looking at ebay and I can see load of auction ending without bid at the mininum price.... Clearly if I were to buy an ebike here I'll lose money...

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    The cyclamatics are a heavy 25kg bike which makes it impossible to pedal without electric. My plan is to put it into a lightweight road bike and hopefully including the electric it wouldn't weight more than 13-15kg So not far from a normal bike weight! This 10kg difference should compensate...

    36V at 10A is 360W right? Isn't it already above the 250W limit? In that case yes?

    I'll set to 100wh per pack. Get 2 pack. Would be perfect. I'd need that anyway for my laptop when travelling

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    Why 2 of them wouldn t work? A low power drive on 200wh would be ok no?
