    Shortening long kit wires. Info on making wires shorter

    It's possible I have all these things. It's also possible I will have to rebuy one or more of these things because I can't find them. I will have to look. It's daunting to cut a wire. I have soldered a couple of things but it was years ago. Really it should not be that hard but it would be...

    Shortening long kit wires. Info on making wires shorter

    Hello I have done a bit of searching here an did not see an answer. I know that ebike kits often come with overly long wires(just in case of....something). I myself have a bike with a kit installed with long wires bunched up and tied up. I was wondering if where I could get to good hand...

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    On my Charger bike I went through the procedure to repair the back inner tube. This involved unhooking the adjustment wires to the internal geared hub, the roller/drum brake and both chains, for motor and pedals. When I got it back together I found the that chains were more loose and the motor...

    Wow that is melted. I would be wary about putting in li-on batteries after seeing this. It looks like there is some parameter that is different even if they are nominally the same as the lead acid. Here is my set up I use to charge with the 12v charger. And to see another from the inside.

    This is interesting. A guy who owns one of these Chargers who worked for Aerovironment, the company that originally made the bike. http://www.evalbum.com/1077

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    Oh yeah! The bike infrastructure in PWC is not as good as Fairfax I don't think. There is like a nice multi-use trail for a while on the side of the and then nothing but maybe a tiny worn path in the dirt between the road and the guard rail. So it's spotty/intermittent. One nice thing that is...

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    I have done a couple of longer rides the past few days and am really enjoying it. For now I have a correct 12v battery charger so I am opening up the case and charging each of the two batteries individually. Sam did not get back to me about a new charged(but to be fair I did not send a follow...

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    But the problem I am having is that that on board charger is not working. It's strange because battery chargers(like for cordless tools) do not tend to break. So I'm surprised this is an issue. I have the new LA batteries but I don't like that they are heavy because if something goes wrong I...

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    I did do a mod to override the assist speed limit. I put a flat button type magnet on the inner side of the left pedal and moved the sensor to near that rather than the magnet on the faster moving spokes. I didn't remember doing this until I saw the magnet and it came back to me.

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    The bike was bought in late 2007 but I got it second hand a year or two after that(I got the original receipt and papers from the original owner). I used it for a while, I don't remember how long, a couple of months maybe. I do remember some trouble getting the motor drive chain back on one...

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    Here is my Charger bike. Went out on a longer test ride today and I'm liking the way it's working. I do like those higher swept back handles mod and see how it would be more comfortable now. The battery is only down one light but it does not seem to be charging. I paid just over 100 dollars...

    Fixing up 2004 Electric Bike - Charger!

    Hello, you are really providing a wealth of information on this bike here! I'm grateful for that as I have one of these I hope to start using. I got some new batteries and went on a test ride and it seems to be working. I then took the battery thing off and plugged it in to top it up. It was...
