Where are you located Stumpy?

What's your budget? What's your current battery pack?

Hi Folks, I am organising an ebike ride for anyone interested on December the 10th leaving from Southern Cross station at 10.45am. Family friendly. All kinds of bikes and rigs but suggest that we start with flat easy riding to include all comers and we behave ourselves to keep the scene nice. Family...

Might be worth a look on some tests of mirrors in combination with PV's:

This guy even mounts them on electric vehicles.

Hey Glenn, you may want to give this mirror idea a go - it's not complex and you will pick something up - however small.

Hi Faz, currently using two of 5.8Ahr 8s Turnigy LiPos in parallel. Current discharge is 25c capable. About a hundred bucks each from Hobbyking. When I went from 1 cell to two in parallel I saw a huge drop in the amount of voltage sag under higher loads. About to add a third unit - I expect to see a...

Actually I ducked home at lunch (couldn't do that on a slow bike) and noticed something else about high powered e-bikes. Magpies cannot touch you at 45kph. http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley4.gif Can't say the same for the real estate agent in Lycra way back behind me on his carbon fibre 'trop...

How long can you do an unpowered 40kph for Faz? How far then? 20km? Contador's average speed of 2009 tour de france was 40.32 kph. Should we all be like this? What is wrong with us mortals? Folks - I don't want to shower at work! I want to wear a suit straight to the boardroom in a regional location...

You're right in assuming up front it is the controller - when it comes to cheaper hub units. Eg bafang geared internal hubs are pretty much the same. The controller is usually limited to a given number of amps (torque), so you up the voltage to get more speed. A 24v 20 amp controller is obviously mu...

I am curious as to why you're so eager to stick to the 200W limit?

Bikes don't seem to get a lot of coverage here. I've had an Aprilia Enjoy electric bike for about five years. These were a fantastic bike for their day, with an innovative crankset drive unit. I recently rebuilt it with two 5.8 Ah LIPO batteries, replaced the controller to be standard twist throttle...

Actually the 120W answer is pretty easy - I can buy the 120W setup for only 200 bucks, and I'd planned to use the extra power for a different project - nighttime readinglights. But to add to that, I wanted to keep my bike looking like something that would appeal to the everyday person. I am dutch, e...

I recently took my much lauded pedal assist Aprilia Enjoy and removed the pedal assist. I also lifted the 200W limit and let the 1100W motor have it's natural draw of current from some new LiPos. It's a much better bike. http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=18505&start=165 My kn...
