Probably is just plastic. Ordered the controller above so i can have a play and have a backup. I have a clamp meter to test the amps, But ordered a watt meter also.

The brush holder is a large round disc of a plastic type material. Both brushes fit into the one unit.

The pictures show a 24v controller? Whats the risk with a brushed motor? Burning the brushes and commutator out? Heat and the magnets falling off (again). Although it was age last time not heat. They decided 10 years was enough and unglued themselves. Just glad it didnt happen miles from home.

So ideally on a stand and held down to stop it escaping :) Would it help to spin it up to a decent speed with the pedals also so it wont be a huge surge from a standing start? being a brushed motor whats the safest option? Upping the voltage a little bit. Just an extra cell 3 - 4 volts. Or...

I can try that. See how quickly it goes on the throttle then try it wil the battery direct to the wheel. I undid the 4 screws in the controller but it wouldnt come out. I didnt want to break it and for around £10 i dont mine having a spare one just in case. Or i can get a pair of 6s batteries...

Brain has been working again. Always a dangerous sign :) IF.. I swapped the controller from what we think is a 13Amp one to a 17Aamp one will it actually give an increase in power? Or am i restricted by the voltage alone? Thanks...

Yeah, Its working which has shocked everyone that saw it when i 1st brought it home. Although fromn 1st glance it just looks cleaner. Its had more than that. With a coat of paint on everything and the wiring altered to get the rear lights working and the additional dropper to use 12v LEDs...

New here myself I have a thread in the technical section "£20 Thing". Mines a little bit of a cross between a bike and a scooter. I have an ignition key that switches the main power on in the first position. With the option of going to position 2 and putting the lights on also. I added a small...

Had it running tonight, Too dark for pictures, But my little one went around the block on it. She said it does slow on the hills and she had to pedal. It seems to pickup fairly slowly. Both with the lipos and SLA's. But seems to get upto a decent speed. Maybe not 15mph though? I will have to...

Sorry, Its the lipo balance LED displays with built in voltage alarms for the pack voltage and cell voltage. Like this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290761737693?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Shame i couldnt leave all the wires internally, Will need to get a better...

Any idea on fitting the battery monitor? I have some of those digital ones that display the total voltage and the voltage for each cell. I think leaving them one will be risky, Draining the battery and maybe even burn out? Ideally i want it on a simple switch to turn them on/off. Are they a...

Not quite, I think its heavy enough :) It houses my 2 x 5s, 4000mAh Zippy Li=Po's. Until i know the range and how it runs on the old SLA's i plan to have this as my backup get me home pack. Then swapping to this pack and adding more lipo's after. I have loads of these CD drives laying around...

On the home stretch... A bonus of the LED's for tail light and headlight. Even when the power is off and pedalling slowly by hand there is plenty of power for the LEDs. Full brightness even by hand. Most of the panels are back on. I had to remove a couple to get the wiring through.. Typical...

Nearly..... Nearly.... Not quite there yet. Not been well so had to take it easy for a while. The seat had a pin that was half the size of the hole it went through so it wobbled like mad. I made a new pin thats a much better fit. Took me most of a day though. Probably another day to make the...

OK... Back to amuse you all further... Cleaned all the excess glue and make sure everything was nice and clean. Inserted the hub as carefully as i could, Refitted the cover with half the screws to test it. OK are you sitting down and not eating/drinking??? Plugged the battery lead in and...

Thanks guys. It doesnt look like that, More plastic but the code helps a lot. 3615 is 36 volt and 15 amp over current protection. So is that the max peak 15 amps? Mine says 3613 (13 amps)? So mine will have a short burst peak of 468 watts? But the continuous will be much less i expect. Not...

Still not managed to find a picture or ID it. But I think its 2003 on the panels and 2004 on the controller. So around 10 years old. $100m turnover is good, But i wonder if they make $1 profit :). Always curious as to how they can make something and post it to the UK for £1. I bought...

The damaged bit of label was... ZKC3613KV-XY2 So unsure about the 22KV being the amps. Maybe the max with 13 being the continuous? Tried the barcode and it just comes up with that code number, No links and nothing found on a search.

Oh what fun i am having. What numpty thought up the idea of using glue to hold the magnets on? I should have made a video. You would all have died laughing. Its rather chilly so its making the 3 / 4 minute glue take an age to start to set. Picture me fixing a magnet and holding until its hard...

Yeah i thought about the numberplate thing. But i was going to put the voltage and motor wattage on also. Are these brushless motors a lot better than my old style basic brushed one? The issue with swapping motor/wheel is they are 18". I have had a quick look around the net and not many 18"...
