    Hailong HL1 36v Batteries - on/off switch - yes or no?

    Don't buy anything until you've checked that the voltage increases when you charge it with the Garmin charge. If a cell is faulty, you would have wasted your money. It's no problem to use the Garmin charger as long as you keep checking it. As well as checking the voltage, put your hand on the...

    Weird things my bike is doing

    The number of times we've had that on this forum over the years. It's an illusion. You're just noticing the difference between having power from the motor and not having it.

    Electric conversion kit or peddle assist

    DOn't but a new bike as a donor. Not only are many modern bikes not suitable, but you'll lose any warranty when you fit the kit, and you might have to do some drilling and filing, which you might not want to do on a new bike. It's much better to buy a used bike. It'll cost about a third of what...

    Phylion battery query

    Before anything, do a capacity test. You can charge the cell-pack direct, bi-passing the BMS. The BMS will still do the normal end of charge balancing.Prior to charging, you should check that the cells are balanced by measuring on either the sense wires or the cells directly. If they're out of...

    Tandam CoPilot 26-3

    Park Street is very steep, whatever you made Google say about it. We've had forum members using Heinzman kits, so they must be available somewhere unless they now only sell to ev manufacturers. According to ebike tips it's available for £1675 from ev-solutions.co.uk...

    https://sunbeamcar.wordpress.com/the-beginning-buying-an-off-the-shelf-quadricycle/ Whatever you do, make sure that you get a rear axle with a differential if you don't want to keep crashing. You can get them from Aliexpress and places like that. Do a Google search. This one comes with a...

    OK, so it's difficult to get actual data on the subject. Suppose I said that migrants in the UK are eating cats and dogs. Would you say that's false, bearing in mind that many of them come from countries where these animals are routinely eaten...

    She had the pearl earrings and some extra loops. Also, when people are paying billions of dollars to make you leader of USA, you can afford for someone to transfer the main part (the "pearl" or the bit behind the ear) into any mount. The one shown in the debate seems to be a clamp on one that...

    Tandam CoPilot 26-3

    The high power one is specifically for quadricycles. It has two "125w" hub motors that fit to a standard axle. They also make a "250w" conventional single hub-motor with a bit less actual power, which they sell as a standard conversion kit. When I was at one of the Bristol shows, a guy had a...

    Tandam CoPilot 26-3

    Any motor can haul 300kg up a hill. It's just a question of how steep the hill is and how fast you go. The 100w motor might manage 1% at 8 mph, Bafang HD 12% and Heinzman 25%. It's simple physics: 100w vs 1560w vs 3000w. If they all go at the same speed, the max hill steepness they can go up is...

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    You can go as low speed as you like if you have a slow enough motor. When you choose a hub-motor motor, you should choose one with a winding speed that suits your circumstances rather than one that comes with a kit or is generally recommended by people that might have different circumstances to...

    Then why don't the the Post Office and Amazon use it instead of the Heinzman.

    Really! I thought you were the sort of guy that could figure stuff out. Does he look like or behave like a cat lover? What do you think he was going to do with it, bearing in mind that he works for a Chinese restaurant, and many Chinese restaurants have been prosecuted for such things as having...

    When the foreign countries around USA heard that the borders are open, the first thing they did is kick out all their criminals, psychos, pedos and other undesirables. The immigrants eating pets has been extensively reported in social media, especially in Ohio. It's only a meme to remind people...

    You believed the left wing fact checkers. Shame on you. I've seen actual video evidence that he was absolutely correct. I've also seen it in this country, where a foreign guy delivering a takeaway tried to get their cat into a sack. Luckily, not being a cat lover, he didn't understand cat...

    They are if you choose the right one. Don't forget that the Heinzmann hub-motor system can pull 500kg up a 16% slope or 250kg up a 32% hill or 125kg up a 64% one, approximately. The steepest hill you'll ever encounter on a road is about 16%.

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    What you're describing sounds more like the effect of a lower winding speed on the BPM. If it were the same winding speed (max motor speed) as the other, it would have bogged down too, since it would have the same climbing power. If you ran it with higher current, of course it would go up the...

    That's not correct. The power comes from the controller and would be the same no matter which motor you have. I think you mean torque. With a crank motor, you can trade speed for torque using the gears. Torque affects how steep you can climb. Power affects the speed you can climb. Be careful...
