    [technical] BMS options when re-celling a Giant powerpak battery

    I'm pretty sure that I heard that the Giant version of the Yamaha system uses different comms, so the Yamaha hacks don't work. It's the same old thing. People buy their bikes according to the specification. It's only later that they figure out that other things become more important, like...

    [technical] BMS options when re-celling a Giant powerpak battery

    He can't replace anything. The system is locked. The motor is integral to the bike.

    Hello

    LiFePO4 batteries are the same as any other lithium ones except that the cells are a slightly lower voltage, so there are more of them. The voltage of a LiFePO4 battery stays higher for longer during its discharge cycle, so you get a bit more power compared with a normal one. Also, they're...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    That the last election, when the dems sent in truckloads of votes from all the dead people still on the voter register. The trucks were followed and videod by self-appointed anti-cheat invigilators. I can't remember the exact story, but it went something like this: The trucks' journey started at...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    The governing officials have been under pressure to sort out the election lists since they cheated last time. Why would someone have to sue them to do it 4 years later?

    Thumb Throttle for Lawnmower

    Yes it does matter. A throttle gives an input to an intelligent controller. Your motor doesn't have such a thing. You could use a motor speed controller with either a throttle or a potentiometer if you can find one with the right current rating. This one can manage 100 amps...

    Which motor will get me up hills easily?

    That video is totally misleading for anybody on this forum, and what he does is unsafe for the controllers we use. It would be better not to show it. Instead, you could describe how to do it properly and safely, or find a video that explains everything, or make your own one and post it.

    Hello

    Does it say "lithium on the case?The weight seems much to high? A modern 24v 9 Ah lithium battery would weigh around 2kg. It could be a LiFePO4 battery, which would be indicated by a charger that has 29.2v instead of 29.4v. It would be worth looking inside the old case to see what's in it. I...

    They're supposed to remove people from the voting register when they die, not every 4 years! They haven't been removing anybody. Hello!

    nut size

    For the chainring: Don't waste your WD40. And if you've already used it or any oil, make sure that you clean it all off with spirit or petrol before re-assembling, otherwise your crank will keep coming loose. If it's really stuck, try some heat from a blow gun around the tool.

    nut size

    I'll make it easy. This is for inverted bike. Point the spanner towards the back wheel and push it towards the ground. That's the same on both sides. If there's no clearance for the spanner to do that, point it upwards (towards the ceiling) and push it backwards. The only problem is that the...

    nut size

    That's too difficult for me and too early in the day. Can someone work it out for him? I always struggled with Flemming's left hand rule! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zc3dxfr/revision/3

    Which motor will get me up hills easily?

    That's not enough. This is what I said: "Post details of what exactly you already have, motor, controller and battery, so that we can propose options." If you're not capable of finding out that stuff, you're not capable of changing any motor.

    nut size

    Just imagine that your bike is the normal way up and you have your spanner or tube pointing upwards. You have to push it to the front of the bike on each side. Obviously, if you have your bike inverted and the spanner pointing towards the sky, you have to push it to the back of the bike. I find...

    Torque Arm Installation - Rear Hub - Best Practice?

    You can use the mudguard fixing point to screw directly into the main part of the torque arm, which will be much more secure. You need a 5% cobalt drill to drill the torque arm because the steel is pretty hard. You could drill right through with a 6mm drill and use a 6mm nut and set screw to...

    Which motor will get me up hills easily?

    Post details of what exactly you already have, motor, controller and battery, so that we can propose options. You need more power, which doesn't necessarily mean you need a new motor. It's not the motor that determines the power you get, it's the controller, and the battery needs to be able to...

    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    Get your batteries from Greenlance. They're an excellent UK supplier. The price is good and so are the batteries. I have two from them. They're service is really good too. Make sure that you use whatever code they offer to get an additional 10% off. That Aliexpress listing is totally wrong...

    Of course they have a plan! The only way she's going to win is by cheating. Luckily, the dems have that down to a fine art, and we'll see their new method in a few weeks time. I predict that there's going to be a complete meltdown after the election. Nobody is going to accept the results. The...

    Three wire Bms to two, is it possible?

    In your case, it doesn't matter, but probably best to leave the multi-pin connector 'til last, and always check its pin voltages before connecting to the BMS, as it's easy to get them out of sequence.
