Ouch, my MotoBecane Phantom Pro is going on 10 years and only issue is worn out wheel sets and some new suspension components. My Carbon "LUNA" with almost a 1000 miles has a small crack on the upper rear swing arm that was repaired with carbon fiber and epoxy. Love the carbon frame, but do not...
Not totally sure the changes were made to the chain ring, or the internal controller wheel size setting. Chain rings would have an affect on the gear ratio/motor loading. And top overall speed of the bike. I run both a mullet and a straight 27.5" wheel set, and upsizing the front wheel should...
It truely amazes me that someone would take a totally engineered "E-bike" and think that they know so much more about the operational parameters than the manufacturers, that they feel changing the mechanical gearing which has been mathamatically determined to prevent "excessive" motor loading...
Having purchased 2 complete ebikes, and a DIY rebuild of a "MotoBecane" Phantom Pro elite, which used the Bafang BBSHD, I can only agree. The battery and motor have been flawless for 2 years, and as much power or even more than my "Luna X2" Buying the cheapest components will only give you a...
PLANEMO: we were discussing safely charging lithium ion batteries, Please provide your education experiance so we can judge the validity of your claim, The fact that you claim everyone else has junk if it aint Bosch just shows your extremely limited knowledge in this area. . And just so you...
Just remember when your flying downhill at "Break your neck" speeds that you saved alot of money on your suspension and helmet. You can use that extra money to buy top of the line coloring books and crayons. Okay enough bashing, The fork is passable , and will provide decent control for the...
Been shopping at "Harbour Freight" for years, their quality has improved, and prices are always great. They carry an "Imperial/Metric" T handle allen wrench set that will follow you through many years of repairs, just wish they would carry a "Thin" metric wrench set
For the most part you are correct, but you kinda went off the rails with the "Cheap" charger claim. Lithium battery chemistry is different than "lead acid", NiMh and Nicad. Connecting a Lithium battery to the "Incorrect" charger can force too much current into the battery causing heat and...
Just a observation, but Lithium batteries are very different than traditional batteries and cannot take high current when charging. That "18650" lithium cell can put out somewhere around 20-30 amps, charges very well at 2,3,4, and 5 amps from a smart charger. Anything higher could cause...
I will get some flack from this, but I have been riding the Bafang BBSHD(1000 Watts) for 4+ years and have had "0" problems with any component of that system. Purchased the "Luna X2" 2 years ago with the "Bafang" "M600" motor (750watts), and except for the early failure of the "one way clutch...
Final post on this thread: I did tear down a cheap battery I purchased from "Greenergy" a 48VDC 11AH battery. Paid a decent amount ($500) and opened battery to examine the "Battery management system" . Imagine my surprise when I find a large "Heat sink" base and absolutely NOTHING else just hard...
This is a serious problem people, does anyone know what brand of scooter was involved in this fire, and the battery manufacturer ? was the charger attached to the scooter? I have been using lithium batteries for R/C purposes for 30 years, and building my own battery packs for over 10. I have had...
I have been riding for MTB's for 25+ years, and had a total over the bars superman crash on a "downhill" that tore the left bicep while riding a bike with the traditional "Rim" brakes" that failed back in the late 90's. Upgraded to my "Luna" X2- 2 years ago and went over a jump first week of...
