    Your solution is for amateurs When I'm the one doing the undercover... my ho's only gets contacted with a burner phone.

    Need NEW conversion motor for Kalkoff E-bike

    Without seeing the battery it's hard to say.. A repack with quality cells might be the easiest as you won't have to worry about physical fit and wiring connections. You might be able to save a few dollars by buying an off the shelf battery, but that'll take a little research and an understanding...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Yes... but enforcement can only take place after an infraction. I understand wanting to give a warning as I drove illegal minibikes as a kid. But it was a different time and my friends and I did all possible to stay off the radar. In this case they lied when questioned so catching them in or...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Near impossible from the start... But in this case, past performance was a clear indicator of future loss.

    Battery Display Settings

    With experience they could probably calibrate one more accurately with just the voltage and knowing the battery capacity. With the higher end bikes I believe things get a bit more sophisticated by using CANbus to keep in constant communication with the battery taking into consideration things...

    Battery Display Settings

    Using the Samsung cell as an example... 39v is approximately 22%, which is fine as a LV shut down. That's what I have my controller set to. I have no idea what my BMS's are set to. You have a much bigger problem with sag then most because..... You don't f'n pedal! 🙃

    Battery Display Settings

    I'd be surprised if even a double super ultra premium BMS will allow a lower output voltage of 39v. ymmv

    Need NEW conversion motor for Kalkoff E-bike

    If nostalgia is really important... Then keeping the motor and replacing the consumable battery is the only way to keep it authentic. Otherwise it'll be the whore of Frankenstein

    Battery Display Settings

    How are they different? I assume they are using standard name brand cells and this is a function of a typical cell. Allowing the end user to take them down to <5% is not recommended at all.

    Battery Display Settings

    36v is too low for 0. Though it is close to actual battery voltage range, taking it that low is harmful and can possibly cause irreversible damage so most BMS/Controllers shut down around 40v or 25%. As far as the bars... Never cared to care. 🙃

    Need NEW conversion motor for Kalkoff E-bike

    Replace/rebuild the battery or scrap the whole thing. Trying to fit a different motor to that bike frame is a clusterfuck waiting to happen.

    California tries to limit to 250 watt???

    That's discrimination! My grandfather has always been a power hound and he loves his Surron 🙃

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    I'm sure they're far superior as far as sound quality... but again I really appreciate the easily manipulated buttons and no phone necessary. I can easily pause, next song or change volume wearing gloves. Then add wearing glasses is enough on my ears and having to charge yet another device is...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Actually that's what I use... But it's this tiny pos No worries about it being stolen. And I don't feed it by Bluetooth, I use the micro SD slot. This way no phone involvement/distraction. I like that it has 4 button control that's easily manipulated even with gloves on and no touch screen to...

    Aventon Level 4 ADV

    Why are you taking it so personal... I didn't direct my comment at you? And it seems I'm not alone with respect to feeling that less tech is more when riding. So I'll do me... but maybe you shouldn't be so self centered my little California Stefan 🙃

    Thoughts on the M800 system?

    A BMS can not stop a battery from self discharge... It happens within the cells and is a known attribute. If anything it's the (SOC) voltage it was stored at and the environment stored in.. assuming they are name brand quality cells. You probably got a big discount buying new - old stock and the...

    Aventon Level 4 ADV

    I'm just providing my opinion and my choice to be more involved in my rides as I find it more engaging /enjoyable. That and I don't think more tech/manufacturer involvement is necessarily a good thing. Another point is I don't enjoy riding like a marching machine and I alter my ride by how I'm...

    Aventon Level 4 ADV

    Or maybe be participate in the ride and use your skills as there's enjoyment and a sense of sport in doing so. Autoshift is the last thing I'd ever want on my bike... and that goes double for ai ymmv
