    Diy solderless 18650 battery kit.

    Clever man! I approve ;) I am thinking this may be the solution to my small triangle, I'll have to get to pen and paper to see if it will work. I'm thinking 10S3P for a 10.35 Ah "everyday" battery and then connecting in parallel the 10 Ah graphene for longer travels. If 10S4P fits all the...

    Total cost of an ebike, around 45p a mile?

    Something smells fishy in these calculations... Cheapest cars cost 0.47 € per km (French Argus car magazine numbers), the average car is more than that. The cost is down this year because credit is cheap and petrol is too. My first bike cost me 0.10 € per km all included. If my high school math...

    I don't think it is better I think it is different and replies to a similar need in a different context. The podride won't work in my climate 10 months of the year, the bio-hybrid will be uncomfortable 2 months of the year. Compared to the Sinclair the podride opens the right way and is easy to...

    Hmmm.. Let's see, 48 V (legal max.), 500 W nominative motor with 35 Amp controller, 1.68 kW... :rolleyes: Hey that is about 2 hp! Show me the hills! In the PDF they say that the prototype weighs 80 kg and the target weight for a production version is 60 kg. The elf is 90 kg.

    I just ran into this prototype pedelec which I haven't seen here - even after a search. http://www.schaeffler.de/remotemedien/media/_shared_media/08_media_library/01_publications/schaeffler_2/brochure/downloads_1/micromobility_bio_hybrid_fact_sheet_xxl_de_en.pdf The PDF above includes lots of...

    Nihola cargo trike conversion - sanity check please?

    I bet they use the BBS02 "250 W" version to keep it street legal. http://em3ev.com/product/bafang-36v-250-500w-bbs02-kit/ About $500 without the battery. Get a BIG 36 V battery, I would suggest wiring two 13 Ah batteries in parallel, your 25 Amp controller will say "thank you!" for that. Dont...

    Guardian article on bike helmets - good read

    I have been over the handlebars once at about age 13 and landed on my backside (coccyx to be precise). I have never hit my head when falling of my bike in 50 years. I have hit my head on a low hanging branch (in Spanish Basque Country) so yes, I was wearing a helmet at the time. I only ride on...

    Why does every eBike seem to advertise a 20-30 mile range?

    I agree d8veh which is why when I was posting my range related posts I always posted the ride profile. Bosch have a fair go with their web range calculator. As to your original Panda, question it is just marketing. I think that after a spate of saying that their bikes could do unreasonable...

    53.3volts

    It could do. You aren't losing much range between 4.2 and 4.1 it kind of drops down really quickly between those two values. These are your new cells? Ride some then charge again to see if you don't get 4.15 V would be my suggestion.

    Electric Planes

    There are quite a few Ultralights that are both long range and electric. The motor is used for takeoff and for flying between thermals. All of the rest of the flight is done by gliding.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You looking for a red card too Dave? The UK will get a bill from the EU, Merkel is the leader of Germany! That is a country. One that hasn't lost its sovereignty. It is for pensions (you know, retired people...) and previous contractual agreements signed by the UK. Now if the UK is going to...

    Hub gears for my bike

    Very interesting! I had that issue with the controller from an 09 battery and the GSM. It is the controller not reading the direction the pedal is turning, strange that the Bafang one does that (less strange that an external controller doesn't understand the weird internal PAS of these motors).

    Electric Planes

    Depends on how fast you ramp up the catapult, If it was designed to increase speed at the same rate a plan accelerates up to lift off speed it would still save all those Ah for use in flight.

    Bike for a taller lady

    There are plenty of bikes for taller ladies in the Netherlands and Germany, you may need to look online. Winora springs to mind, I know they have large stepthroughs.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'll repeat myself: the US used Goldman Sachs to get Greece into the Euro, when it shouldn't have been because it didn't meet the criteria, with the idea to weaken and destroy the money most able to cast a shadow over their world domination. Greece has billionaires and the worlds largest...

    Follow the money... Money is given to Greece so that it can reimburse the banks it borrowed from.
