Looking to sell my 500w Gen 3 Specialized battery that I purchased new about a year ago. Purchased for a back up for the 700w battery that came with my bike but never use it. It has 2 charge cycles on it, and I verified that it does work as I dropped it in my Levo to make sure it worked and all...

Pretty sure he was running a 16t cog on the rear and probably a 50t chainring as well. The issue with his was getting intermittent shifting or slipping on his middle gear range. Not necessarily under heavy load but just riding on the flats so we replaced some springs which did nothing. He...

Glad to hear your’s is still rolling strong. You might not remember but a buddy of mine went that way after using your thread as a bit of a guide. He blew his up and now has a 3x3 nine 9spd hub. Evidently it has a higher torque rating than the Rohloff. Get this… He originally had the 2300w...

Hey gents I just swapped out a controller for a buddy last week and ran into an issue maybe everyone isn’t aware of. His motor was a UART version and when I installed the new controller it wouldn’t operate correctly. Then I remembered I had previously purchased a couple of years ago a Bafang...

The 48v/ 17.5Ah battery case is probably set-up for (13) x(5) = 65 batteries, probably 18650 cells would be my guess. To see if a 52v 17Ah case would work do this. Get some penny’s and some nickels, like 100 of each. The diameter of a penny is about the size of an 18650 cell, the diameter of a...

JRA is your bike using the 2300w version? Best case for 52v. Best case for 48v. 2300w ÷ by 58.8v (100%) = 39.1amps 2300w ÷ by 54.6v (100%) = 42.1amps 2300w ÷ by 55.4v (80%) = 41.5amps. 2300w ÷ by 51.5v (80%) =...

Look at you rockin the wren! Kevin and Russ are great to deal with. I used to ride their forks until I couldn’t get the size I needed for my bike at the time and went to the dark side. Great company and the owner is top notch.

Looks good. On the battery‘s I built for my buddy I used the Daly 50a bms to handle the additional current using 52v. Im sure the battery your having made is using 21700 cells as they are the best bang for your buck. I like the Samsung 50E.

If your 2300w motor is the ultra motor with the ArchonX1 upgraded controller I think your out of luck as far as swapping out the controller for a stock version. From what I remember Mr. P told me that they somehow had to “pair the software” between the two units ( motor and controller ) for them...

Well bad news as far as the spring replacement fixing the issue. Didn’t think it would make much difference but know he knows. So it looks like he’s gonna go for the 3x3 hub but that’s going to be a process to get the hub as the only shop in the US is in Colorado. Don’t know if they have to have...

It’s funny when my buddy ordered his frame and motor he upgraded the motor for 2300w. So he has 5 modes for eco and 5 modes for sport ( higher watts). He only ever rides in the eco mode as the higher range is way too much. So he wasted his $ on getting the upgraded wattage. Were gonna do the...

Well that’s good to hear about the springs. He recieved them yesterday so we’ll probably swap them out today or tomorrow and maybe get lucky. He’s allready looking at another hub if this one doesn’t pan out. I think there called 3x3 bike hubs. 9 spd and like 554% ratio plus it’s rated for 250nm...

Hey Tom just wanted to report that my friend that has the Rohloff on his Ultra powered bike is now having issues with it slipping intermittently when in gear. Not necessarily when under max load like when climbing but also on the flats just cruising along. We were’t sure if it was the hub or...

On my levo which I know is different I just hold down the “-“ button for a few seconds and the trip resets. What bike model? What Display model?

Absolutely correct. Just like most products never buy the first series production let them work out the bugs by someone else. Seems like most manufacturers have “proprietary systems” for their drive systems anyways. Either in the motor mount or battery storage. So we’re kinda stuck there. Hell...
