So...almost makes me want to build another...maybe a fat bike...moving to the east coast...soon!

Thanks again, George. Awesome ride home today. Still gotta futz with the derailleur but the BlingRing is on it's way. The battery is performing very well - no wattage drop whatsoever throughout. I am fast understanding why there are consistent suggestions for conversions to have shocks and...

Thanks again George and Adrian. An update - the relatives are gone and I finally had some uninterrupted time to change out the gear cable, get the rear deraileur functioning, get some fenders on, and generally tidy some things up. Then took her out. I have a steep grade out front of our...

...a perpetual motion machine...lol Now, I know somebody has probably thought about this...but has anybody tried to come up with a recharging system for e-bike batteries based upon the notion of creating EMF off a rotating wheel? That is, kinda like an alternator (wouldn't be too dissimilar...

I'm curious - how long does it take for this to dry? Does it come with a brush attached to the inside top of the lid? PDX Dave

I was talking with my father who is a retired electrical engineer. He told me that he thought 57.9V charge on a 52V battery was pretty good. Also, heard from Eric at LunaCycle and he said the same thing. He also said expect to see draw from the battery going up hills. I think what George...

Our rainfall for the month of December was something like 125‰ above normal effectively whiping out an 18 month drought. On the night when I ran into problems there flooding conditions in addition to a hard downfall. I wouldn't be surprised if that deluge overcame any waterproofing that was...

Hi JoePah, Thanks for the comment. As it turns out, I had previously set the toggle set to 80% charge. I set it to 100% charge, and upon completion the display reads only 57.9 V. So, it does appear the battery may be defective. I'll contact LunaCycle.

I had the same problem with finding LiquidPaint. Just plugged in the charger and the readout was 54.6V. So, battery does not appear to be the issue. I think the problem originated from either excessive load vis-a-vis 52T vs moisture - or a combination of both. I used the battery straight...

George/Adrian, Get out of my head :). I was just about to ask that question re: Liquid Tape! So, the upgraded LunaCycle charger displays a continuous voltage while charging and apparently upon completion. Is that as accurate as a voltmeter? David

George I went ahead and charged to 100%. I have relatives in town so I haven't had much time to dicker with the bike but I snuck out while grilling dinner tonight and with the 52T sprocket and rear derailleur in 3rd (still haven't found time to adjust) ironically I went up a steep grade out...

Eric from LunaCycle has been quite proactive in writing about the BBS02. In this blog post, he describes what works for the motor. So, I'm using a 52 tooth gear. I think I need to go down to a 42 tooth. That seems to be part of the problem. It may be the battery. But the setup seems to be...

Thanks again George. I purchased an upgraded my charger when I ordered the shark pack after reading what Eric had to say about charging batteries and how to prolong their life. This charger will allow me to charge at a high rate (5 amps) or a low rate (3 amps) and to what capacity (80, 90, or...

Hey guys, Thanks for all your thoughts. I just completed the conversion over the weekend so I have not really had enough experience with the system as I've only driven it twice. Here are the specs for the battery. Adrian, this is by all accounts a very high quality Panasonic battery pack...

Hey all, Don't know how to ask this question other than to describe a problem I'm having. I have a Trek 8.6 DS that I just converted with a Bafang BBS02 750w + LunaCycle "shark pack" 52V 11.5 ah with a C965 display. I'm still tweaking things but overall have been impressed with the build. I...
