    Full PAS restricted speed vs lower PAS unrestricted,what workes fo you?

    Yes d8veh.With helpful input from others on the forum ive been doing a lot of research lately.Ive certainly discovered some surprising stuff. And as you say you have to look much more deeply into cell choice,than just their brand name. Im learning slowly.

    High time ebike battery sellers were honest about battery AH capacity

    Ebike batteries are expensive investments.With each additional AH costing a premium.I think its high time the sellers of them,stopped hiding behind the CELL manufacturers misleading stats. This will come as no news to some ebikers.However if you ,like myself until recenly, are in the...

    PAS stopped working - any advice on what to check?

    Not much help but rain was the cause of my PAS dying completely.Prob different reason but....After a few days it came randomly back to life.After 2 weeks it was back to normal.

    Full PAS restricted speed vs lower PAS unrestricted,what workes fo you?

    My fat arse must have something to do with it.Ive got a feeling rear hub motors are less juicy than a 350w bbs crank drive too. Bike 22kg rider 14.5 stone,tyres 1.95 front 1.75 back ,45psi. I cant finish my comparison tests with the 14.5ah battery, as ive managed finally,to fit it to my other...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    Most likely then.I wasnt bothering looking at their cost and what he paid, it just matched up. I think the other battery hes talking about must also have lower amp rated cells.Which would explain him finding it giving him less power the higher the controllers amp draw ,am i right? I noticed my...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    That 17ah has to be the MJ1 cell. 3500mah though at 3 amp draw (15amp divided 5p ) the capacity is 2960mah = 14.8 AH The ebc kit doesnt state the cells .So prob some moderate performance chinese brand ? Pas 2 of 5 or 40 % of 15 amps is 6 amp or only 1.2amp draw per cell on a 5p .No wonder u...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    Yes it shows you just cant rely on these cheaper makes to deliver on their stated AH capacity.Its just not accurate .d8veh s comment says it all. Just not worth using cheaper batteries and you have to really check, even with the reputable brands ,what cells are being used.Also make sure its a 6...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    Wow thats complicated stuff neal,but i think i understand.I noticed when using the 17.4 on my other bike, to which i fitted a volt meter display.The battery cut out at 28v (as stated by eclipse) but read 33v un loaded.The other battery also reads 33v at rest when exhausted . So the remaining mah...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    Hmm.How are ordinary people supposed to know all this tech.Ebike battery manufacturers surely should only be constructing them with the correct cells.Ones up tothe job.Ordinary folks cant possibly know what battery their motor needs,beyond 36v ,48v etc.You know ive def had a feeling with this...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    Hi neal . I also saw they were 2850mah making 14.25 ah not the advertized 14.5. So you think in practice they might be lower .Perahaps the battery may be as little as 13.5 ah. Damn ,i thought LG were one of the recommended brands. Shows no matter how hard you try to get a bargain.You always...

    Anyone have experience of eliefbike / pswpower batteries

    Hi malkie. The old bike was designed to have a battery slide in vertically behind the seat post,just enough room for the battery dimensions .Its a step through frame.No where else to mount it.The new battery doesnt slide vertically onto its bracket but has to go in at an angle.Pitfall of not...

    How on earth do I get the battery to fit?

    I bought a shark cased battery for mine and had the same issue .Bottle holes to far down.I used a foot of inch wide steel strip .Drilled for a couple of m5 bolts high up for the bracket .An lower down for the bottle fittings.

    Throttles why do they go bad so easily?

    Ive never operated a throttle whilst peddling at the same time. After rain the throttle still work s perfectly when operated .However the PAS only works perfectly if the throttle is disconected from the bike.With it connected the PAS suffers a little cutting on off at low speeds.Replacement...
