    Battery charging

    OK I rode the bike twice since I last posted. Charged back up to 100%, typically used 60-70% each time. My App now says 11 charge cycles. I checked it after the first charge and it registered 10. Again just my experience with this bike, others may vary but a tech at Spec. confirmed that what I...

    Installed a Rohloff Speedhub 14, IGH on my mid-drive Luna Z1 Ultra Mag

    Hey Tomas my buddy that went with the Rohloff on his bike is still in love with his also. I think we did his bike right after you paved the way. Only complaint I constantly hear from him is he is only able to put a 203 disc on the rear as opposed to a 220 which he had previously on the bike when...

    Battery charging

    2023 Levo Comp Carbon before ride today my app said 8 charge cycles completed. Rode 26 miles, 2540’ elevation, 2 1/2 hrs. Battery at 100% to start came home at 32%. Charged back up to 100% and now charge cycles registers 9. Actual eyeball observation. Different model bike, different software...

    Battery charging

    #1. Yes the charger will automatically disable the charge function when battery reaches a full charge state. The light will go from red to green. Probably not the best to charge it overnight but it will not hurt anything. Just a heads up the charger itself will get frikken HOT when charging as...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    You do realize that the cable guide holes, TCU display, and whatever that small plug in the rear are all physically larger in cut-out size right? To each his own I guess. Sounds like you would be more comfortable in having the battery cable exit the plastic motor housing with is what the boost...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    As far as extra holes in the frame I was told by a local frame builder buddy that when they do there layups the reinforcing areas are at the main sites, head tube, seat tube, motor mount points etc. and that they do their smaller cuts, (cable routing openings, H2O cage mounts), they just cut...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    As far as a stress point where I did my cutout is concerned I think I’m fine as the SL series bikes have their proprietary Rosenberg plug mounted directly on the opposite side of the upper shell and that cutout is 2x the size as what I did. There is even a hole at the rear of the bottom shell...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    Apples to oranges comparison. Different motors. SL series use a different motor and smaller battery for their setup. That’s the main reason for the boost being availible for those. I even called and spoke to a tech at Specialized and asked him where I could source the boost battery receptacle...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    ? Not sure what you mean by “analyze the cutout” I just located a flat exterior surface and looked inside the frame for any obstructions. Made a plastic template and traced it on the frame, drilled a couple of pilot holes to double check my layout and then used my Drexel tool to finish the...

    Sunringle Duroc 40 Wheels Hub Wear - came with the Hydra

    So did you do a comparison between the alum and steel hubs or is this your first steel free hub? After I replaced the alum free hub with the steel version next time I did some maintenance on the hub I compared the older one to the steel one and you could definetly tell a difference. One thing to...

    Not your typical Boost battery install for 23' Levo Comp Carbon.

    Just picked up a 23' Levo and took it for a few rides and range was fine but typically take longer rides in the wintertime so I wanted to add another battery for piece of mind. Looked around and saw a company that makes a battery (252w) but the install required the user to notch a hole in the...

    Bafang M620 upgrade?

    You need the dealer software to initially set it for max wattage. You do it with a programming cable going directly to your motor controller just like you can adjust multiple settings like Penoff and Frey. Of course your controller protocol needs to be the older UART not the CAN buss type which...

    Bafang M620 upgrade?

    The BBSHD is max rated for 30a period or 1500w. The M620, G510, Ultra which are all the same can be configed up to 2200w which would be about 45a. When I built up my buddy’s battery I used a BMS rated for 50a even though 99% of the time he is in lower power settings but his battery is good to go...

    Bafang M620 upgrade?

    You think you’re frustrated with your bike because of “lack of power” if you send it to WW you will be frustrated because of “lack of bike modified in a timely fashion”. just change your front chainring to a 42 or so and you’ll be just fine. I thought the Archon guys ( controller software )...

    Battery starting to fail?

    Just sayin that Bafang builds their motors for 60v max and yes ALL components have to be rated for whatever voltage is being applied. More volts, probably higher amps, more heat, larger devices to disapate that heat, but enough of that. A motor controller has firmware installed on it to perform...

    Battery starting to fail?

    That’s great for Biktrix but the current fleet family of Bafang motors won’t accept 80v. Difference in liscensing legally on top of that, in the US that is, I would imagine our neighbor to the north would have the same issue, but hey what do I know. I have battery’s that I made 6 years ago still...

    Battery starting to fail?

    PCeBiker if you added a 14th 21700 cell to each of your five existing groups you do know you would need to use a 52v charger to get 100% charge. 52v chargers max out at 58.8v 48v chargers max out at 54.6v. I know a lot of Bafang motors are rated for 48v or 52v but they will actually operate up...

    Battery starting to fail?

    Just for a bit of clarity a HIGHER voltage battery will always be more efficient in theory. Here is a quick example. 52v motor and let’s just say a 52v rated 14s 10ahr battery ok. So that’s a 520w battery. If your using 200w of power you could do that for 2hrs 36min. This is in theory remember...

    Battery starting to fail?

    Hey Scrambler what bike do you have? Maybe it’s been a long day but I don’t think there are 12s battery packs or 11s for that matter that are common in e bikes. I could be wrong, if I am educate me. 14s = 52v nominal and full charge at 58.8v. All day long 13s = 48v nominal and full charge at...
