Yes, you only have to look at it hard. When you knock firmly on an Aptera they can roar off into the distance.Will the battery switch itself on when carried by public transport, or up stairs, lifts, escalators?

I wasn't envisioning ebikes bashing themselves against train doors in transit, or ebikes escaping up escalators lol... but if it's an accelerometer activating the battery's BMS multiple times a day, won't electrons wear out some switching component on the BMS sooner than usual?Yes, you only have to look at it hard.

I don't think it's impossible that this company has reverse engineered enough of Bosch's protocols to do the job. One of my customers sells and installs Ghost immobiliers - the hackers who created that system haven't completely reverse engineered Range Rover, BMW, Mercedes etc. protocols, but they have utilities which identify which codes activate which subsystem they need basic control of, using the CANbus system to create the immobiliser. If they encounter a completely new unknown car, apparently they bring in a crack Russian hacker who plugs his laptop into the car, runs a bunch of routines while watching the screen output looking like The Matrix, as the utilities help identify the required codes to try. My customer couldn't provide any more detail unfortunately. I'll waterboard him next time.Hiya,
Here the exact wording of their email to me
"Hello Spanos,
thanks for your message and for giving us a chance.
It will definitely work with bafang.
For Bosch we've managed to reverse engineer the protocols but they have so many updates that i cannot promise for all versions.
Cheers"
So make of it what you will!
And I'd prob go molicel 35 or lg mj1. Both 3500 mah and 10a. Ive used the mj1 for years. Prob just get the cheapest at thr time !
It doesn't look like a scam to me. Just one of many startups out there.It's starting to feel like an scam.
There are few buying options. Case only as you said, case and loose cells for self assembly and battery assembled and tested.its a case and bms etc only, HA!
Ah-- I see once you select a 'perk'.. so circa 400 euro inc pnp for the full package. (my use would require a 'battery mixer')There are few buying options. Case only as you said, case and loose cells for self assembly and battery assembled and tested.
Well... I humbly disagree. As an Esteemed Pedelecer you deserve something better than Yose kit for beginners.without a current need for a further battery.
A pair of templates expose either all the + slots... There's probably a tactful admonishment on the reverseI'm wondering how often users will screw up by putting the cells in the wrong way. Diodes?
Yeah they could be clearer. Is the Yose's range worth the cost of a mixer? You wouldn't need the mixer if you take the pins out of the Yose sled or rehouse the controller in a 'ABS project box'.'Battery Mixer' I would need with a controller embedded within my current battery mount ??
Cheers, a few issues tho 1) i like the 'hidden controller' form factor.. ok 1 issue..Yeah they could be clearer. Is the Yose's range worth the cost of a mixer? You wouldn't need the mixer if you take the pins out of the Yose sled or rehouse the controller in a 'ABS project box'.
Go Team Yose!! - while not a performance ebike at all my ol ploddrer has benefited greatly from the conversion, no longer is it "Oh Damn/****/Bollx, i had better get the bike out then" as it was pre-conversion, but more "Oh, i had better get the bike out" now whenever i need/want to pop off somewhere local. The weather can still elicit a more colourful reaction however.Well... I humbly disagree. As an Esteemed Pedelecer you deserve something better than Yose kit for beginners.
...but what do I know...
Yes. Team Yose can count on highly ranked participation award in every raceGo Team Yose!! - while not a performance ebike at all.
Well I do hope you are right. Still I just couldn't pull the trigger on a 200 euro case with bms and charger (no cells)It doesn't look like a scam to me. Just one of many startups out there.
For me lack of on/off switch is a deal braker, but for sure battery as a whole is an interesting concept. I will consider it when I will need a new battery. I hope they will make some improvements by that time.
The fact that it's so expensive implies to me that it's not a scam. My only uneasy feeling comes from whether it'll work with the latest CAN systems.Well I do hope you are right. Still I just couldn't pull the trigger on a 200 euro case with bms and charger (no cells)
For me the whole thing didn't pass the sniff test in the end. Happy to wait and see, if it all works out and , crucially, it does play nicely with bosch systems I'll pay the extra full price
An 'open' coms module is an exciting prospect, not only to enable the use of future defined codes for systems but if it also exposes other coms features of the h/w such as ble, then @Az.'s physical on/off switch could involve a $5 ble button and a few minutes configuration..The fact that it's so expensive implies to me that it's not a scam.

I totally agree, slightly flippant post on my behalf. I've a welder , can and have sourced cellss, hl cases and just built my own. The value for me is not in the weldless solution nor the fire resistance. Its all about the claim to have reverse engineered bosch so t plays nicely. It's that bit, which I think is same for you, that I'm just not sure about. Especially given the email I posted. Which I suspect was an unguarded moment as I've seen nothing like that publiclyThe fact that it's so expensive implies to me that it's not a scam.

@Oulipo - There's this thread about the Infinite Battery already. How did you decide on product pricing? What factors defined the upper and lower limits of the pricing "Goldilocks Zone"? Too expensive for me, and there is no manual on/off switch. Also, being able to find a replacement cell or cells to match the characteristics of the used ones remaining in the pack, seems a difficult task - can you provide any tips, and how safe would the resulting battery pack be?Thanks so much to this community for the continued support you've been showing us! Much appreciated!
