    Let's get back to mobility, Leaf blowers (battery powered) on roller skates. Saw two kids trying to get moving last summer. Works if you're small.

    Just purchased Radster Road…Charger / Battery question

    The weak link is the ability of the charger jack in the battery to handle heat. With ebay packs, you never know. I'd stick with a 2A charger with them.,

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    Something intended to go 30+ mph and compete with automobiles should be registered as moped/motorcycle. Now it's a motor vehicle and those "no motors" signs on recreational paths apply, That should cover the evolution of two wheeled EV;s,

    The Juiced chart seems reasonable.

    configuration of the 52Vx15Ah battery?

    36V is 10 cells in series. 48V is 13 cells in series 52V is 14 cells in series. Series is the S number, The AH capacity is determined by how many cells in parallel (the P number). They multiply P by the cell AH to get the total AH for the battery, Nominal voltage times AH gives you...

    configuration of the 52Vx15Ah battery?

    The number of cells in parallel won;t matter. The charge percentage vs voltage is the same. A 52V20AH and 52V5AH will both be 100% at 58.6V and near 50% at 52V. Yes, if the cells are not the same type, there are some small changes, but not important here. In your case, Juiced is using 3.2Ah...

    Calling all math majors

    If it's a digital readout that reads from 0-60V, does it matter that the 0-40 never shows?

    Calling all math majors

    With a programming cable and your PC connected to a website (no need to install software). you can enable throttle in PAS0. My BBS02B came this way originally from Luna, and I used to ride it in PAS0 and feather in throttle on hills, It was very easy on battery, if I maintained discipline...

    That's really good. I believe you are on a BBS02B? You must be riding with minimal assist. My BBS02B burns 8 watt-hour/mile (years of data) with a combo of PAS1/PAS2, I have a 15AH pack on my BBS02, rated for 720WH but it's more like 630 WH in real life,. I put on 38 miles last week in the...

    Another ebike description of thieving Surron riders

    I believe they're allowed to hit you with the patrol car if necessary in London, There are numerous videos of them taking down runners.

    The more I ride it, the more I like it.

    I've been checking my ebike mileage for years on over a dozen different bikes/motors/batteries. I won't bother you with the nerd stuff, Yeah, if he gets 24 miles first the first half of the battery, then 16 miles for the rest is possible. That's pretty good for a 48V7.4AH battery, about...

    Does my ideal bike exist already?

    They sell your bike in Japan, not here in the USA, but if you need to go 20 mph, buy a second bike and ride it solo for your need for speed. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Bridgestone-BG0B48-Electric-Bicycle-Children/dp/B084S1K4YV...

    The more I ride it, the more I like it.

    A whole bunch of Funhangs for under $500 shipped on Amazon, like this one. Well, there gotta be thousands of similar bikes in every small city in China. People ride them. A bike is a bike. A tour guide told us once that a small city in China is about a million people. Thanks for the report...

    Study: Cycling brings $1.4 billion to Iowa’s economy

    While passing thru Iowa in 2023. we rode the High Trestle trail. Brother-in-law raves about the bike trails along the Mississippi nluffs near Dubuque. We'll have to head over there this summer and drop some Illinois dollars into their coffers. Stop at Maid-Rite for burger/shake too,

    Calling all math majors

    Familiarize yourself with how your ebike runs, A lithium battery is nonlinear. You get far more miles for 54-to-48V than from 48-to-40V. Just go out and ride it. You'll see.

    Best cell choice for BBSHD fat bike off-road?

    I think the Samsung 50S is a good choice. It's a 5AH cell rated at 25A, so a 14x3 array will easily power a 30A BBSHD with minimal voltage sag. The P45B will also do that, but has a little less capacity, I have batteries made with the Sanyo GA's, 30Q's. P45B, and M50LT. Think they're all...

    Charging Baterie to maximum all the time.

    It's all relative, Charging your battery to 100% will give you less life, but does that matter as far as how you use it? This is a data plot from one of the earlier studies on battery charging from a Battery University website. The worst life is 100%-25% battery cycling. Compare it to 75%-25%...

    Need help on adding a throttle to an REI Co-op 1.1 bike

    In my case, I had been having problems with the Pedal Assist stopping because the magnet disks were slipping, They were rubbing on the sensor. After a few hundred miles, the friction caused the plastic splines to break and the disk to slip. I didn't see the issue til I had broken two disks, A...

    Need help on adding a throttle to an REI Co-op 1.1 bike

    Missed your earlier post. I recently had a similar issue where the pedal arm would rub against the PAS disk and press it against the sensor (same type of bracket). I ground off a lot of metal off the inside of the pedal arm to prevent that. Probably could have slipped some aluminum shims from a...
