    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    That website looks like an AI generated website. Never heard about Pulsedrive controller. The Google search gives only this thing. It does not look like an e-bike related device https://meech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/M0038-Hyperion-PulseDrive-Controller-Operating-Manual-REV2.pdf

    No, I do not know what is going on there. So Rico is the owner of ebikerepair.eu ? I see some Innorace artifacts on that website and WattWagons links As far as I know Rico works for SSP

    15 MPH E-bike and Scooter speed limit announced for NY City by Mayor Adams

    I am sure drivers will hate 15 mph e-bikes on 30 mph roads

    15 MPH E-bike and Scooter speed limit announced for NY City by Mayor Adams

    I meant 20 miles one way, 40 miles round trip. Some people leave further and use ebikes for commute. I am sure even you would stop commuting 40 miles or more everyday on 15 mph ebike pretty soon. The fact that electric bicycles can move faster than you would like them to move does not turn them...

    15 MPH E-bike and Scooter speed limit announced for NY City by Mayor Adams

    There are people completely happy with 15mph and 20mph feels a bit too fast for them. But to be honest both 15mph and 20mph suck. It means when you will use the roads the cars will crawl 15 mph or less behind you and your 20 miles commute will take 2 hours one way instead of 1 hour or so which...

    Brand new Mahle mid drive motor.

    Same as they did with 1500W Bafang m620 motor - nothing.

    That's an interesting article. The VESC for Babang controller uses DRV8301 chip as recommended in the article to avoid such issue. Plus it has improved not standard footprint for soldering, this footprint maintains better contact with the cooling pad of the chip and evacuates heat energy better...

    There are no pictures of the controllers on that website for some reason. The only blurry picture I found is this That would be cool if they would sell those controllers separately without motors. Maybe for $100 or so would be nice, so people just can install the controller in their motor and...

    That's cool! If they also can help us with VESC firmware development that would be nice.

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    I took it for a spin and it works great! The rear wheel is rock solid, there is no any wobble (my Kindernay VII had some freeplay). I also feel like this gear hub noise level is lower than Kindernay noise level. So far so good.

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    The installation is complete. Will see how it performs. For the cables housing I used 4mm Jagwire lex sl cable hosing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002AGI5I6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title For the cables caps I used these 4 mm aluminum caps...

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    Yes, only their expensive rotor fits it, just like Kindernay XIV. If it will become popular maybe someone else will make different rotors for this hub (I know there are non Kindernay brake rotors for Kindernay XIV for instance). The rotor is pretty thick so maybe it will last longer than...

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    One screw for the torque arm is missing. There should be 10 of M4x10mm flathead T20 screws and I found only 9 in the bag with fasteners. That would be nice if they would put extra fasteners just in case especially for such expensive kit. McMaster has such screws in back-oxide finish but those...

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    The wheel is complete and it is heavy as hell. I hope this heaviness reflects the durability of the gear hub. Now the most annoying part, removing the Kindernay cables and installing the 3x3 cables

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    My Kindernay VII last probably 7000 miles or so. The electronic shifter can be installed instead of the mechanical shifter, it replaces the cables with rotary shifter and the mechanism attached on the brake side of the hub. If you want to replace the mechanical shifter by the electronic shifter...

    Started lacing the wheel. Decided to use DT Swiss SKN03 2 x 16 mm brass nipples with SpokePrep instead of the recommended SAPIM POLYAX 14MM 14 GAUGE SILVER LOCKING BRASS NIPPLES. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Z7R4CQ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1...

    I designed a cheap version of the AMPLIFIER board for regular copper weight (1oz) and regular through hole vias (the original design of the AMPLIFIER board with heavy copper and blind vias is quite expensive) and this cheap version it is about $2 per PCB if you order 5 of those on JLCPCB...

    The motor with controller CAD model can be downloaded or checked on the GrabCAD https://grabcad.com/library/vesc-for-bafang-m620-uart-1 You can use it for reference to see the cables connections and proper cables routing. The motor controller area is precisely reverse engineered and can...

    Sure. Here is how you can connect ST-Link 2 externally outside the motor for firmware flashing so you do not need to disassemble the motor and even do not need to remove the motor from the frame (you can route the cables under the side plastic cover of the motor). Here is the list of parts you...
