Yes. The one I had was in free air off the seatpost. It was rated to carry 25lbs. It snapped off after about 100 miles. My battery is less than 10 lbs. It was just a temporary setup anyway until I could machine my own. My design will hold my battery and my electronics and also serve as a...

Ha ha ha ha. Lol If your old like me you'll get this. If not you won't understand. But Damm I remember back in the day when they thought this was high tech. LMAO.

It is the force of wind resistance that influences the power level. The wind resistance is adding way more drag than the motor in either case.

Just make sure if you use the VESC that you use the 3.3V line for the switches and throttle. Not 5v. 5v will damage the pull down resistors on the board. The white wire currently is used as speed sensor for bafang control. I'm going to use it to install a temp sensor in the motor. The VESC...

What i plan to do is use a hall sensor and magnet out of a throttle. Put them inside a little case so that the brake cable attaches to it and activates the sensor. This way when you pull on the brake lever it reacts like a throttle. A large spring can be attached inside to create resistance to...

I like the way the plate acts as a fender. I had a rear rack that was bolted around the seatpost and then has an aluminum pipe coming out. It doesn't attach to anything else which is good for me cause I have rear suspension. The rack is rated to hold 25 lbs. I had my 10 pound battery on it and...

Im thinking of doing the same as the phaserunner. We can code into the VESC and program it to give us the freewheel effect. I am also going to use a Flipsky Remote for a skateboard that has forward and reverse built into the throttle. The forward motion of the Throttle will control the level...

Have a great time. Just let me know anytime. Really I plan to start machining a variety of parts. I have the equipment and tools to do it, so why not.

Yea I'm pretty sure it just cuts the current off. And yes you would loose brake. I'm gonna end up running regen braking and my front disk brake. I'm gonna end up loosing my rear disk. Got to make room for 8GA phase leads and cooling lines. So like I said, you either charge the battery full...

If you cant find something let me know. If you can give me the measurements correctly I can machine one for you out of whatever u want. Aluminum would probably be good.

Basically the BMS will shut off the power on a overcharge condition. The VESC also will do the same thing. You can program them both to shut off at a given AMP output to protect the battery and motor. Also you set the maximum charge voltage and if it goes or tries to go higher it will shut off...

I would just buy a VESC and replace the controller with that. Then a lot of compatibility issues go away. (you use your phone as display) (you can set every parameter involved in operating any BLDC Motor) You can get one that only puts out the amps you plan to use. It will take some work but...

As long as the cells in the battery are decent cells you would not need a new battery. You need to find specifications for the battery cells in your pack to find out how many amps discharge / charge they can each take. Then just get a good BMS. A BMS that can use the full power of the battery...

Ok quick update and I will be back when I have time to post all my data. The Tronix 250R is up and running both the skateboard and the Bafang Hub Motor. I had to use my 48V battery because that 29V I got out of the skateboard is shot. It will charge up and reads good voltage but as soon as you...

It sounds like the Battery is shot. It could be a bad bms or it could be 1 or 2 cells unbalanced so bad that the bms cuts off.

I bought a set of these. They are super thick, thick treads, and roll very smoother. I gained some speed when I put these on. I Aldo run Military Grade innertubes with 3mm thickness at the tire tread side. They are super nice. I like how they look and there quiet.

It could be that the extra stuff is built into the BMS. It's not for balancing though for sure. You could swap the BMS if that's where it's at.

I'll see if I can find out anything about the Control. It sounds like the battery communicates to the Control/ display. I Believe that's what the extra wires are. Solution 1. Take apart stock battery. Take out little board that the 3 wires hook to and put that little board on the new battery...

All in all I am very happy with todays results. I have a pretty solid build now. It turned out great. And it didn't cost me a dime. other than The Tronix 250R VESC. Hell I even got fancy Lights. Anyway I need a break for a bit. Just got to make some connections now and she will be ready to run...

Ok It has been a fun day so far. I went on a scavenging hunt this morning. I needed a heatsink to put the Tronix 250R on before I could test it. Not only that but I needed the screws and the little white insulators for the mosfets. To mount them. You also need Thermal Paste like for CPU. You put...
