    You'll be lucky to beat the one I linked above if it's the sort of thing you're looking for.

    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    Mine arrived yesterday. They also look pretty good. I was very happy to see that they provided the matching battery connector plate, which will be very useful for my application. I haven't done anything with them yet. Definitely a bargain at £150 for the pair. £150 would be cheap for one of them.

    10S BMS balance wiring

    I didn't notice that before. ICR batteries are for laptops. They need more sophisticated control systems than your average ebike type BMS because they tend to overheat and catch fire. Also, they're not really suitable for the higher current that ebikes require, which is probably the cause of...

    Argos E-Move - Anyone have any experience with these bikes?

    I'd keep away from Halfords bikes because the necessary spares are difficult to get. One or two forum members have had trouble with sorting out their Impels. I always recommend to get bikes with standard Chinese parts if you just want a bike to ride around on. In-frame batteries might look...

    10S BMS balance wiring

    When you have a 36v battery running with a 15A controller, it's not unusual to get a bit of voltage sag at maximum power, which you would see as the display going down one segment, then recovering when you stop taking power. Regarding your post #8, I have several comments: Firstly, the battery...

    10S BMS balance wiring

    It's possible that you got scammed. Without proper test equipment, it's not possible to be conclusive. If you live anywhere near Telford, you can bring them to my house, and I'll test them. The next question is how many amps does your controller take from them. Look at the label on it and tell...

    10S BMS balance wiring

    You said you have EVE batteries, but you gave a link to a company that only seems to offer GEB products. Why don't you want to give us the actual link to the listing of the batteries you ordered?

    Help! Are there any thru-axle compatible hub motors similar to the akm-75?

    Some manufacturers include their controller in the battery, which adds a lot to the cost. Add to that relatively low quantities to manufacture so the cost of tooling becomes relatively more expensive, pushing up the cost further. It's always best to stick with standard Chinese stuff unless you...

    Help! Are there any thru-axle compatible hub motors similar to the akm-75?

    They're OK for a rider of your weight, but it's a very expensive system. A forum member had the X35 system and needed a new battery after a relatively short time because such a small battery is under a lot of strain. The replacement cost was around £800, which is about £200 more than you could...

    The main point is that "what can be, is unburdened by what has been." (Kamala) which anybody can recognise as being derived from Karl Max's idea to move forward into a future unburdened by what has been. "Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it...

    Help! Looking for a lightweight and compact conversion kit

    A rear motor would be better. Front motors lose traction on steep hills because all the weight goes onto the rear wheel. On grass or gravel or any other lose surface, the wheel will spin when you need the help the most. On the road, it's not too bad. Q100C is pretty light at 2.2kg. It's quite...

    Help! Are there any thru-axle compatible hub motors similar to the akm-75?

    Mahle do one that's part of their system and is quite expensive. If you could get hold of a motor connector, you might be able to run it with a standard controller if you like to gamble...

    I can understand what's happening, but I need to know what you have so that I can diagnose your problem. Last chance, which Eve 2500mah cells do you have, and where did you get them from?

    Woosh starts shipping Tongsheng TSDZ8 with 250W label

    Yes, it's BS left over from when we used to have ni-cads and nihms, which do need that procedure. Lithium is different.
