    Is there an road legal kit for an 48v 14.5ah battery?

    Quackstar.Rivnuts are so easy to fit and cost pence .Use M6 instead of M5 for extra strength.Its by far the best way to mount battery cases. With 3 anchor screws it will be solid. when all that bumping around causes the weight of the upside down battery to overcome that little security lock...

    Please help me build my full suspension EMTB!!!

    If u cant afford a bbshd buy a bbs01 350w and programme 100 % keep current .Get the biggest 36volt battery u can afford ,made up with panasonic/sanyo 3500mah GA cells.You will have a great set up that will serve your needs well.Alternatively a bbs02 .Programme to lower amps ,say 18 - 20. Set...

    bbs01 parallel battery addition and tweaked programming

    Hee hee the power took a bit of getting used to.Its the torque that makes it such an amazing ride, rather than the high speeds its capable of. Manoeuvring with such acceleration.

    bbs01 parallel battery addition and tweaked programming

    The stop is quick at 6 (read less than 5 can cause problems) than the usual 25. Allows slightly quicker gear change.Higher start currents likewise improve takeup response.So less loss of momentum on hills changing gear.I may try 30 % start current on throttle.Everything i read says higher than...

    bbs01 parallel battery addition and tweaked programming

    Well as per an earlier post i finished fitting a 2nd battery on my bbs01b 350w (18amp) conversion recently.heres some pics.thanks to members for advice on fitting it in parallel,rather than seperate. ive spent a few days tinkering with the programming.I feel the settings now are giving the best...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    the throttle is smooth through its range and pas delivers accurately the amp levels showing on screen.the amp levels on pas1,2,3,4 are just not accurate to the % im setting for 1,3,5,7,with the programming tool. only pas 5 (or 9) 100% is accurate.

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    ive found changing a lot of things doesnt seem to make any real or imagined difference.so decided to keep pretty much the recognised settings most of the professional programmers set.one thing that is v useful is 'stop delay'.set to 6 for me instead of the usual 25. makes changing gears on hills...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    i like having both options. the bbs01 is an excellent kit. Just finished fitting a second parallel battery.Now ive got a bike for powering around and another for longer distance rides. If you are worried about the 350w bbs01 looking legal.Do what i did. Place a sticker cut to the size of the...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    this is what ive put on the controller at the mo.everything feels good enough.would start current be ok at 50% anyone know? just looked at the bbshd programming and its 50% an feels brilliant .but of course a more robust controller/motor. i notice the professional/knowlegable go for 4 and 4 on...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    Will try an post those. All i can say is the 350w version bbs01 ,has given me oodles of fun an felt pretty powerful...Until the bbshd.But as peter C says its not the speed,im happy with that.Its the lack of torque.You get that on the bbshd even at lower pas levels. Still i like the bbs01 its...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    a word on the programming ebyke. That 7.5amp limp mode didnt feel any diff to no power, so went with 55% for the pas1 ,10amps as lowest pas .also set pas start current to 30% slow start mode 6.crank pulses 2. Still all feels so gutless compared to the bbshd,ive been spoilt.

    Is there an road legal kit for an 48v 14.5ah battery?

    why go down to 250w from 1000w? chances u will run foul of the law about as likely as the moon actually being cheese. spesh as ur a big guy u going to feel gutted when u take it for a first spin.

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    this is what happened when eclipse supplied me with a replacement controller.20% keep current.could hardly climb any hills.so i was resorting to WOT all the time.result no improved economy.im unsure why they did it.my warrenty return ,as you prob remember from my threads ,was not blown fets in...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    Yeah ive enjoyed building two kits bbs01 350w & bbshd very much.An before that transforming an old gutless chinese 24v sla given to me. Into a 36v throttle only 19.5 amp rocket. Flies along at 20mph.The motor /controller barely get warm ,even after 2 mile hills at WOT. Jus a cheap £15...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    Thanks ebyke ill compare with whats on it at the mo.Do u notice any drop in maintaining a speed reached with 75 % keep current as apposed to 100 % ? The controllers reduce current when on flat ground.As ive noticed with a watt meter. I assume the higher the keep current the less it can,an 100 %...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    Yes i see the benefit of your personal set up for the job u want the bike to do.Im more interested in torque than speed now ,after fitting a bbshd on a marin bobcat trail.The bbs01 on my beloved giant sedona wont get covered in cobwebs tho.Its now sporting an additional rack battery in parallel...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    Thanks guys . thats very clear detail Fordulike,unlike the guides .So i prob only have to change the keep current to 100% an maybe tweak the 1,3,5,7,9. Persentages of the max .Which for my 350w is 18amps.So for what i want, pas 1 wld be 33 % or 6amp ,for 2 thats 55 % or 10amp etc .Am i right...

    Bit confused on bbs01 reprogramming

    At last ive got my laptop back .Can finally sort out the dreadful programming, ive had to endure for months. Basically my bbs 350w gave the full 18amps on max pas. After Eclipse gave me a replacement controller it was rubbish,a tortoise has more oomph .Only 8amps on max pas. According to the...
