    yes, cutting wires.. a problem i was also thinking about.. hmm.. maybe i can defuse the problem with my dremel and a grinder but another - well - problem has occured: the seat-post when i want to remove the seat, i have to pull it out ~30cm so the cables need to be 30cm longer as realy...

    mounting a hub-motor, torque-arm, .. man thats hard work

    so.. also its not difficult enough, iam nevertheless tending to mount the controller under the seat int he little sattle-bag, also it means longer wires (at 36V and that low currents should not of that big problem) to make it EVEN worse: i was looking on my bike, the steel frame -> i want...

    Optibike anyone? 30mph?! 800w

    i have not driven a Seqway sofar, but isn´t it used with different keys for different power-levels ? that would make it very easy... a green key with limit to 25km/h / 22mph to go conform EU or US laws on street, and a red key for offroad so when you get stopped by police OR you have...

    Recumbent electric trike

    oh, i see.. the fitter you are, the higher your speed and for that the more you will benefit from lower air-drag for my speeds: this are also legal in da Schweiz this are the speeds without motor with motor i think nearly any kind of speed with nearly any bike can be reached

    Recumbent electric trike

    hmm.. with my mountianbike i see 23-25km/h average in city-use 27-29km/h average going in the park (for around 30-35min) and for short times (5-6min) 36-38km/h so you say: in flat i would be slower with the kmx ? hmm... oh: my most loved e-bike video is this here, its showing a...

    mounting a hub-motor, torque-arm, .. man thats hard work

    hmm.. that with the currents is another thing i have noticed other way round at controllers from rC-hobby.. just when looking at the wire-diameter: for example: this controller from Kontronik is the half size of my bike-controller but it can handle 63Volt, 120A continous and 200A for 15...

    mounting a hub-motor, torque-arm, .. man thats hard work

    @Tiberius: thats funny.. i always thought that too (keep wires between motor-controller as short as possible) but - at least for rc-components - its other way true.. "keep all wires as short as possible" -> thats always true.. but: if you have no other choice, than its better to make...

    mounting a hub-motor, torque-arm, .. man thats hard work

    hi flecc.. yes, this was also what i was thinking.. (specially because iam conditioned by rc-modellflying with currents of 100-200A and there always trying to keep wires as short as possible) i used the tool from Gerd Giese HERE: http://www.elektromodellflug.de/Uploads/Ltg_bg_V1.xls...

    Recumbent electric trike

    hey.. how fast can you go with that KMX ? one the one hand you are sitting close to the ground, so less air drag compared to an upright bicycle, on the other hand the KMX is wider than an normal bike, uses 20" tieres which maybe don´t run as light as 26" or 28" will do.. so: how do...
