i dont know lol |
60 amps |
Well I prefer not to do that üòâ |
sounds a bit overkill |
I am not even slightly familiar with that style of controller, but it does appear to be brushless, so I guess you *could* try it. lol |
its from that...thing |
I've configured my ebike for 3kw before. At that point, there's no pretending it's a bicycle anymore lol |
It just *goes* |
i believe that lol |
That thing is very strange, but it looks fun. lol |
I'll bet it goes way faster than I'd want to go on it |
it came with 4 lead acid agm batteries |
Ah, well that's disappointing. |
Just, right off the bat, losing a bunch of performance to voltage sag. |
yes it was a bit disappointing |
if i have time and desire i will build one |
I'm currently in a construction phase where I'm megalomaniac |
lol |
i want one of these |
Sometimes I get how that goes |
ya |
Those look like a blast to ride. |
My only issue with them (and it's a big one for my use case) is that they're in that awkward middle ground where it's super obviously not a bicycle, but also nowhere near legally a motorbike. |
I've seen these things for sale with a legal speed of 25 kmh and 250 watts, but you'll probably be stopped every time. |
this is probably really something for the forest. |
Yup. |
And if it's anything like the Sur-Ron, it'll have a "definitely not designed for the user to cut, we swear" wire in a very accessible location that fully de-restricts the bike when you cut it. lol |
yes, this sxt monster was something like that for me |
I bought it and don't dare drive it here lol |
The power I would like, 3000w + is difficult to pack into what looks like a bicycle, stable with good handling |
my bike is already |
trying to kill me |
Oh, for sure. |
I have 3kw when/if I want it (hasn't been configured that way in like 2 years though), but my bike is *very* obviously an ebike and when discussing the handling characteristics, I like to say that it's the bicycle version of a minivan. lol |
like a minivan haha |
what about those cruisers ? |
It likes going in a straight line. Very good at that. |
It dislikes most other maneuvers. lol |
Cruisers? |
beach cruisers i think |
the only bike that can have fat tires without looking like an ebike |
Very comfortable, very stable, but I would describe the steering and handling characteristics as 'rather sluggish.' They also tend to have rubbish brakes, though there are exceptions to that rule. |
I noticed they are hard to get, there are only 2 models to buy here |
my bike does that too, by the way, it drives like a train |
My second ebike build was on a cheap beach cruiser. |
Most comfortable ebike I've ever had, and it handled 1800w gracefully. |
I moved away from it because braking was little more than a gentle suggestion (even after upgrading the brakes as far as the frame allowed me to), and the cheap frame started popping its welds. lol |
oh that worries me, i don't want to die because the frame is falling apart |
that also keeps me busy with my current bike during every ride |
Avoid department store bikes, and that shouldn't be as much of a concern. lol |
At least as long as you're not going massively in excess of normal bicycle speeds. |
well-known brands now also sell bad bikes in supermarkets here |
thats new |
my current bike is also from bergamont, but it has poor components although the brand otherwise only had good ones |
Ouch :( |
I've been seeing kinda the opposite here in the US, where department store brands are starting to put out ebikes that, although they're ultra-budget, don't immediately look like garbage. |
Here the supermarket bikes have even disappeared completely |
Oh wow |
ya |
there are only bicycle shops left, and they only sell ebikes with mid-engines |
sorry for the annoyance and thanks for listening, I'm going to take a bath now üòÑ |
No annoyance at all :) |
crap i fried something |
oof |
feels like phase, had it a week ago because the motor cable wasn't plugged in properly. |
but now it is |
When I got home everything worked, strange |
throttle grip doesn't do anything, and with pedal assistance there's only stuttering. Nothing stinks in the controller and nothing looks burnt. |
maybe this thing https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H2545abcf07db4743859529a40727feedm/2-r-der-Elektrische-Fahrzeuge-Motor-Hall-Sensor-Mit-Bord-Kabel-212-213-Motor-Halle-Sensor.jpg_Q90.jpg_.webp |
i have one, it's decent. |
I like to hear that, I want something like that as an end project |
Yea, Hall sensors tend to fry if you have been a bit agressive with the motor (overheating) |
The engine was always 100 degrees warm after 10 minutes, I think that's it |
c or f? |
celsius |
sorry^^ |
heh, yea that is toasty |
but it has it self announced beforehand. I've had it 1 - 2 times that it didn't want to drive, so I thought the motor connector wasn't tight, but somehow it worked. |
it will probably run again if I heat the spot :biggrin: |
It dulled out on me |
That’s gonna need an extractor |
what kind of? |
I've tried several and always failed. |
*could always get a bigger Allan key (like a 1mm bigger, maybe 1.5mm) And hammer it in untill it has no choice but to take it* then carefully unscrew it out n replace bolt.... |
Never once used an extractor my self, But i can say for sure what ive said above has worked for me many a times.... |
I think I would rather try to dremel a slot in there for a slotted screwdriver |
Also done that lmao |
I hammer in a strong torx bit |
i didn't even manage to drill a hole in the screw for these extractor tools |
you can't put the bike under the stand drill and i just broke off 3 drill bits with my hand and then gave up |
That's why I have a portable drill press I can clamp to stuff |
Did you try the dremel slot? |
once or twice yes |
I used it on a worn out aluminum headset screw |
Likely using the drill wrong. Drills are... build wrong, TBH. Do *not* apply force with the handle. Common mistake |
use your 2nd hand to apply pressure on the rear of the drill, directly in line with the drill bit |
can't find one good pic lol. |
