Where are people buying these frames from? I rather fancy the idea of one

Not that I've heard of I'm afraid, although I'd assume it's the same BMS as the 8035 and I think there are reports of those ot being able to be rebuilt as the BMS bricks itself once power from the batteries is removed during the rebuild. There are a few batteries out there like that now, done...

Very nice, thanks. Where did you get the brackets made up? I've got a spare frame and would be interested in giving this a go

Very interesting, do you have any more details?

Although, engines are a little different in that they tend to last the life of the car. EMTB motors certainly don't! There are also a lot more bike frame manufacturers than cars, which could make it commercially viable, for the frame manufacturers anyway.

I expect they're exactly the same unfortunately. I can't see them having made any improvements recently to them given they're now effectively obsolete. It's quite possible they're just old stock as well and no longer manufactured.

Absolutely. I can't see it happening though unfortunately. Frankly, even the ability to easily buy replacement motors I'd be happy with.

I can't see it, at least not that would be compatible with the existing systems. Shimano had a track record of not allowing backwards compatibility and forcing users to but a whole new system.

I thought I had one fail, but it turned out to be thr magnet had rotated ever so slightly and that was enough to give an intermittent fault. I've never tested it, but not sure they should have continuity through as would either be s Reed or Hall effect sensor?

I guess that's what makes them the money though. Unfortunately they're businesses so have to make a profit.

Front tyre still looks in decent nick. I could do with a new one as well, wonder if the owners selling?

Unfortunately I gave up on it ages ago. I got bored of what I thought were just biased adverts for their sponsors. A great shame as it has a lot of potential, and should be a growing market.

It's normally determined by the battery capacity (or lack of) and the internal resistance which limits the amount of current which the battery can supply and so the motor output power. Its very likely that the battery capacity will have reduced to the point where it isn't usable first though...

Wireless and safety critical applications..... only ever ends well!

I've been trying to be consistent and using only miles in the tables. Where people have stated km, I've converted to miles. There are a few oddities where there are photos showing km, but the system has been modified so its actually in miles! In the UK, we still tend to talk about distance in...

And table updated as I'd missed a couple over the last page. Some staggering mileages on bikes & motors.

Agreed. A good idea, but would probably be better in another thread.

Sorry, but is this correct? Lithium cells will always be charged to a fixed voltage to be 'full'. I think this table is about the maximum charge voltage and the associated resultant capacity relative to the what is deemed a 100% charge voltage which is normally 4.2V/cell, hence 42V for a 10S...

Ah, perfect, thanks.

Well, bugger. My E7000 is playing up so was going to get the shop to swap it out. Bit of a pain if the new motor then can't be derestricted. Will there be a work around do you think?
