I will attempt to make a cardboard box about as large as I think i can steer, then later see how that compares to the units and shapes that are known to be possible to build out of cells. Which I'll have to ask. Thank you for your advice today. :)

No I couldn't see a thing lol. I think we're on the same wavelength though. It's all just trying to get it close to the steering axis. U around the fork is fine, My erm.. dead octopus.. quadrapus? would fit down into containers that would be that sort of shape anyway. :) Thanks for those...

No worries. I appreciate that you are trying to help. I haven't seen any 7s packs. Would it be okay to go up to 14s on a KT 36/48v sine-wave controller? If so it's probably easier to configure something symmetrical with 14s anyway. :) I was thinking about how it would be arranged for good...

Thank you very much for the help, I will definitely contact Jimmy and ask about arranging a battery in a sort of 4 "legs" arrangement to fit over/around the front wheel and fork. :) I actually thought if it was two paralleled batteries (with a bit of a trough to seat onto the fork nice and...

Okay so to have the weight anywhere near evenly distributed fore and aft of the fork legs (without buying four large packs of seriously low quality /capacity cells), I need to make them myself from scratch. ie buy a spot welder and nickle strip, learn the technique, and manufacture my own 18650...

I'd love to bite the bullet but the question is which bullet to bite! I just need a recommended portable charger and (therefore?) bms for HK Turnigy packs that I can carry in a pannier. I don't want to have to carry two Hailong or similar boxy 18650 hardcase batteries on the front of each fork...

Thanks. Yeah my brain is fried reading up on all this stuff that I don't even understand! o_O But now I am reading that I may have to re-reconsider the Li-poly. I read that with the addition of a (which? Idk!) BMS it's possible to use one (which? Idk!) of the small chargers and charge slowly...

Thanks. For the welcome. :) I have been having a rethink. I'm still learning about the Ebikes thing, reading a lot, but I sometimes forget what I've read. So It was well worth checking out the Hobby King packs made for remote control devices, "drones" and r/c cars and helicopters etc. I get...

Hi everybody! I'm a newbie to electrical things, though reasonably well versed in bicycle building (apart from suspension work) and I can solder a bit. I have just purchased a complete (used) 26" Cyclatrocity [sic] front wheel kit in an auction, and a (new) 700c kit without a battery. I'm hoping...
