    Battery starting to fail?

    Having the % scale selected on your display instead of the actual voltage is always suspect as far as knowing battery capacity status. Swap out a different display and see if there’s any difference in the readings. See if the problem follows the bike or the battery. Verify Your output voltage on...

    Added a 2nd integrated battery to my Luna Z1: 48V, (17.5ah) + (17.5ah) = 35ah!

    Imchid I quickly checked out the bike you referenced in your post above and having a battery of a specific design inside of the down tube fitting up a replacement one is a bit of a challenge. Most of the packs I build fit inside the main triangle area connecting directly to a pigtail from the...

    Added a 2nd integrated battery to my Luna Z1: 48V, (17.5ah) + (17.5ah) = 35ah!

    PCeBiker just to clarify something. The BMS units I use are rated for 48v but they also work for 52v as well. All the battery’s I make are 52v. I used to use 18650 cells but the price dropped on the 27000 cells So I use those primarily now. The battery I use the most is 27000 cells and is 30ahr...

    UC Pro Bafang UART motor failure

    If I remember correctly Pushkar told me a long time ago if my controller failed, not the motor, I would have to send the "new" controller if I purchased one, and old motor back to them to "pair" them up so that they would work together. Did you get the Archon X1 upgrade? Then that's the issue...

    AM1000 vs other $5,000 mountain bikes such as Giant, Cannondale, Trek, etc.

    Got one word if you want to compare apples to apples. Luna Z1 Ok more than one word. They're out of El Segundo Ca. Zero customer service but if can do your own wrenching your good. And no I dont have one of their's. Got the same motor you referenced on a frame I got from Germany but that's a...

    UC Pro Bafang UART motor failure

    From what I understand at the start of 2023 the 48v replacement BBSHD motors will only work with a 48v battery source. The older motors used to work with a 52 or 48v system whichever you had. Didn’t matter….. back then. I found this out when a buddy with an older BBSHD motor had a controller...

    Added a 2nd integrated battery to my Luna Z1: 48V, (17.5ah) + (17.5ah) = 35ah!

    Hey Tomas hope your holidays were good. The spot welder I use is called Kweld made over in the UK by an engineer guy named Frank Keen if Im not mistaken. He's got a nice website and explains alot of the details. Welder works FANTASTIC I have never seen a good weld come loose on any of the packs...

    Added a 2nd integrated battery to my Luna Z1: 48V, (17.5ah) + (17.5ah) = 35ah!

    Yep a larger capacity battery makes a world of difference for my riding as well. Originally had a 34ahr and then a smaller 24ahr battery's that I made with 18650 cells. Used the smaller one for 80% of my rides and would use the larger one for bigger rides. Nice having two batterys as when I go...

    WW 52V Battery Issue

    I was kinda comparing apples to apples. Example #1: I started off making 52v battery packs using Sanyo GA 18650 batteries that have a rating of 3.45ahr and a discharge rate of 10a. Example #2: For the last couple of years I have been using Samsung 50E 21700 batteries rated at 5ahr and 9.8a...

    WW 52V Battery Issue

    JRA that extra snap you’re referring to is the increase in volts from 48 to 52 Not the battery type in most instances.

    WW 52V Battery Issue

    Dude ship my one of your battery’s and I will fix it for you for cost. If the battery’s are lower capacity we can replace them with a higher grade. Send me a PM if your serious.

    Ultra install problems

    Agreed 48v is way to high for a LV cut-off. As stated 42v should be about correct that’s probably what your BMS is pre set at.

    Ultra install problems

    I have been using wolf tooth 5 bolt 130bcd 38t drop stop narrow/wide chainrings for almost 3 yrs now along with a kmc e11 chain and have never had any issues. Just be aware of what gear your in and your golden. Aluminum is fine. I also run a steel 11spd free hub on my rear hub as those aluminum...

    Ultra install problems

    Just a suggestion if your handy with getting into the guts of your bike as it looks like you are. Open up the motor and replace the shorter motor lead wiring directly from the controller terminals. Shitcan those Anderson connectors and replace with a XT90 connector a bit longer and make that...

    My Hydra's Kindernay hub is leaking

    The point I was making was a similar bike, similar internal hub, same higher wattage motor and controller, no leak. Thats why I prefaced my comment with the apples to oranges comparison.

    My Hydra's Kindernay hub is leaking

    Just going to compare apples to oranges here. My buddy has a similar bike as your Hydra, An Exess HP E180 with the Ultra/Archon X1 motor and also has the upgrade to 2200w and he has been running a Rohloff 14spd rear hub on his and hasn't had any issues. Only been a couple of months so far but...

    Hydra - 52v to 48v

    I think changing the allowed voltage status for the Archon can only be done with the dealer software. I just checked my info when I reprogrammed my X1 controller way back when I first got the motor and there are no perameters that give you access to that value. Same thing for changing the...

    Added a 2nd integrated battery to my Luna Z1: 48V, (17.5ah) + (17.5ah) = 35ah!

    When I first got into e bikes some years back I started with a BBSHD and a 14ahr battery. After running out of juice a few times and having to pay the piper for that I decided on making my own. Found a guy that makes good quality bags that I use for all the battery's I build for myself and...

    Bafang Ultra motor and Rohloff 14spd speed hub on an Exess HP E-180 bike.

    Hey Tomas my buddy is the one that has the Schizzle. He loves it so far. We added a shift cut-off because he was getting some internal noise on intermittent shifting. He swore up and down to me that it wasn’t needed as the throttle shifter supposedly won’t let you shift under load or when...

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

    As far as being being able to service or repair these hubs ourselves I would say it's doable for sure. Would it void the warranty? Probably so ya got that. I have taken apart my Ultra and serviced it as I needed and noing full well Im on my own as far as warranty goes. Seeing how I got zero...
