    CYCLE TUBE SEALANT

    I use slime in my front (non motor wheel) and got thousands of miles before an eventual puncture.When I went to repair that one, I came across about 5 others which then also needed repairing so I binned the tube. This is a pic of the tyre which I continued to use for a few thousand more miles...

    Reduce Charger Voltage

    I bought 25.2v 2a cc/cv charger/powersupply for a simple way to charge my 6s lipo batteries when away from home. Since it was cheap I'd better test it as at 25.2v my cells would need to be perfectly balanced. I have found it to be 25.4v !!! This is no good but tried it anyway. When my cells got...

    Fix 2 problems with 1 project

    Problems- 1 - I have a 36v 20ah battery doing nothing 2 - I have a dark path down the side of my house where I can't really wire electric to. A possible solution I can think of is use my 36v battery with some sort of dc-dc step down to 12v (powerful enough?) connected to 2 - 12v pir sensors...

    Capacity measurement of bosch batteries 2017

    That's exactly what I've been doing but was interested in something which can record lowest cell voltages under load/ during my commute to see how low the weakest ones go.

    Do you use this? I stumbled across it the other day and thought it looks interesting for when I start with my lipo's.

    Will an ebike last a 3 hour shift?

    This kit may be worth a look, could be a good kit for a road bike frame as the motor is small and light. But Woosh would need to transfer it to your size of rim for what looks like a reasonable charge, they also do the bigger capacity battery to keep you going for a few hours...

    Thumb Throttle Compatibility

    I fancy trying a thumb throttle and like the look of this design. Does it look like a generic one which will work with most standard controllers e.g S06S KU??? etc...

    Alternative Battery Charger

    D8veh, I am now thinking of getting a 3a version set at 50v to bulk charge 12s lipo occasionally, does your 3a version have a fan (I prefer fanless silent)? I saw a pic of the 5a version has a fan vent at the back. Can it handle 3a constant @50v for about the 3hours I think it would take or is...

    Alternative Battery Charger

    That's interesting, I need a car charger, what would I set the volts/amps on to charge my car battery? Also would I be able to use it to power a Turnigy Reaktor 300w 20A balance charger at full power? With these power specs- Input voltage: 11~28V DC Charge current: 0.1~20A Discharge current...

    Alternative Battery Charger

    Can I use this variable dc power supply to charge anything from a 8.4v or 36v and 48v li-ion or bulk charge any size rc-lipo battery all by adjusting it's volts as required, and if needed could I also use it as a regular power supply for say a laptop or something by changing the volts to as...

    Looking for a quiet 63v charger - ideas?

    I've ordered a 25.2v version to try bulk charging 6s batteries, but I would recommend and will feel happier to have one of these watt meters attached to monitor the voltage etc.

    Guy Martins new TV programme

    Just watched the 1st episode. The escooter on there uses a 48v battery and has aprox 40mile range with no pedalling. What do you reckon the battery amps and weight will be to get that?

    Recommend me a new front light

    Like this? http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/the-new-best-headlight.25228/page-30#post-343738 Although I like the rubber rings so I can easily dip the light forward&back up so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers on the pitch black roads.

    Regretable a Dawes bike owner

    My motor sometimes makes a horrible juddering sound when one of my phase wire connection comes loose and sometimes I when have a bad connection in my hall sensor pins connector so it is worth taking the above advice on those checks first.
