    My Experience Registering Three E-Bikes with the New Jersey MVC (First Day of Registration)

    The law has a grace period... Enforcement starts Jan 1, 2027. Having lived on this planet for a while now and with the DMV reputation being what it is... running there on day one is, well

    A Bike That Does Exist, by PEM

    10a is a heavy load to be using continuously. If she draws that her 10Ah battery would last an hour. I'm typically under 4a and usually averaging around 1.5A and that's with a 1000w / 75lb mid drive. My battery is undersized for my motor but with the high output GA cells it works. I've gone...

    A Bike That Does Exist, by PEM

    I'm not sure how the term load balancing is being used here but load typically refers to discharging and/or use of electricity on a multi phase system. Maybe he meant Top Balancing? That's what most passive balance BMS use. Then depending on how you want to calculate SOC (actual vs usable) ...

    A Bike That Does Exist, by PEM

    From what I've read and my discussions with Ravi @ Zen most eBike batteries don't balance and those that do use Passive Active is expensive to implement, bulky and better suited for much larger batteries.

    A Bike That Does Exist, by PEM

    Well I'd be skeptical of such a claim as I've never come across such a BMS with this feature and to have one custom made when purchasing such a low quantity I would think be expensive. I'd ask the supplier for BMS documentation and specifically if it uses passive or active balancing and at what...

    A Bike That Does Exist, by PEM

    Curious... Des some documentation from the battery supplier /manufacturer on this exist? First I'm hearing of such a feature.

    The transition

    I have 3 high end touch-screen t_stats I got for free or less than $20 from our delivery company. They're excellent and continued participation is not required. If you do want to participate, local override is easily done at the stat or with the app. ymmv

    Same... Some penetrating lube and let it sit for a while and then a little heat should get them off. Patients paramount.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    SPEEED APP is great and I feel the best interface. I do like using a laptop too as it's easier to save and compare files. Too bad the developer disappeared. He said he was working on a Bluetooth interface but it never materialized. On your settings for throttle (pic 4) I'd lower the start...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    Well like I said a frame bag helps a lot with wire management. Mine is on my handlebars. And they're super cheap... Like $5 - $8 Controller is probably fine... I'd bet the cable is damaged, they're not the most robust.

    With no speed sensor I'm surprised it didn't throw an error 21... typically shutting off assistance. Not sure what's going... post your settings

    When I need to lube something temporarily... I use a little isopropyl alcohol. It's pretty slippery and then just evaporates.

    Not enough silicone grease?

    I've done that but with the Bafangs you have 4 cable connections in close proximity with varying amounts of slack. I never liked how it bundled. With the frame bag being multi purpose... I prefer the overall outcome. In the latest reiteration, I also have a 12v cable to feed a pair of USB fast...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    I'm too anal.... I'd have to have the displays one just left and one just right of center. To keep things interesting.. I'd swap the throttles. So left throttle would be tied to the right display 🙃

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    This was my final setup.... But I pedal'd This gives you torque at all PAS, but speed was tempered by cadence. So PAS 1 had plenty of torque but at a very low speed.. Each PAS after that pretty much just increased the cadence before the motor would feather power

    The transition

    The most sensible would be to get a battery power wall and divert the over_volt extra current there for your own use and backup.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    And if you plan on doing a lot of programming changes... get yourself a display Y cable and you won't have to keep unplugging things. I also trimmed the rubber off the programming cable and it's now super easy to plug/unplug
