    NYC wants to license and register ebikes and scooters

    It reduces traffic on the roads. If they will start putting more regulations on ebikes it will increase the traffic on the roads, more traffic jams. You just push people around from one place to another.

    Yeah, exactly, and we are about to open source this controller, we do not need support anymore. Enough is enough!

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Guys, the reverse engineering of the Innotrace X1 controller is almost complete and almost ready for public release so anyone can order parts on JLCPCB or PCBWay for cheap and start tinkering with it to have nice smooth controllable 3500W power, using it to repair their controllers in case of...

    Kindernay maintenance.

    I am afraid to destroy it doing so because if another drive-train will fail Kindernay is the only option I have (besides the oil leaks it just works). Also depending on the ratchet mechanism grease actually can make it stop working or make it works worst or can cause shearing and destroying the...

    Kindernay maintenance.

    I poured full 40mL bottle before and my Kindernay VII leaked. While I am OK with oil leaks in general I am not OK when oil leaks on the brake rotor and this is what happened on my Kindernay VII. I rode it like that a year virtually without the real brake (once oil touched the brakes you have no...

    Innotrace X1 (Archon X1) controller issue (solved)

    Recently started digging deeper into the motor and found the rotor bearing (the one close to the gear) is completely locked and the inner race sled on the shaft. I disassembled the rotor and found the locked bearing rubbed into the shaft mating surface and damaged it. I am not sure if the...

    I made a cable for VESC Express. I do not know how those connectors on the VESC Express side are called (I do not remember where I found them) but the end on the Bafang connector side can be made out of these parts...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Alright, great news, I think I fixed it. Just soldered a new AD8418WBRMZ chip, and the shortage is gone. So it looks like it is going to work. Now I need to repair the motor shaft (the current one wobbles and can hit the rotary encoder again). I am planning to use the new 15 teeth rotor with new...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Found another shortage between 3.3v rail and ground. This time in the bottom board. I was thinking the rotary encoder board is bad and detached it but it turned out the phase "U" current sense amplifier AD8418WBRMZ has internal shortage between ground pin and 3.3v Vs pin. Placed order on new...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    If anyone has Innotrace X1 controller laying on the table and willing to try to grab firmware and share it with me is how you can do it (I guess it will work only if the STM32 chip does not set in protection mode though. If it is in protection mode I think this way is not going to work. But...

    Hello Krasnodar. I need compiled firmware .bin file to repair my Innotrace X1 controller (please see the post above). I am not sure if you saw my email. Can you please send me a compiled binary file (.bin) for my Innotrace X1 controller adjusted for 3000W motor (52V 60A, 14S lithium battery with...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Hello Dedo. Can VESC tool extract .bin fie firmware from the controller? The original STM32 chip on my Innotrace X1 controller is dead (internally shortened 3.3v and ground pins). I guess the FET driver failure destroyed the chip. I soldered new FET driver and STM32 chips and I need binary...
