    need help w/ controller placement and cutting wires ...

    thanks. i'll have a look inside the box. maybe i can just desolder the wires (or is that unsolder?).

    need help w/ controller placement and cutting wires ...

    although i don't have a seat, i can mount it under the footplate. the wires wouldn't be pointed down; otoh, it would be protected from rain. the worry then would be puddle splashes from below but if i double up on the silicone waterproofing, maybe that'd be enough.

    need help w/ controller placement and cutting wires ...

    so on my scooter project ... does the controller need to be protected from the elements and if so, how? this is a replacement controller and doesn't fit inside the battery box like the old one did. think i'll have to afix it under the footplate or the front of the battery. also: i have a lot...

    do you think these batteries are overpriced and if so by how much?

    agreed. and they now only recommend the 151wh one for flying. that said, they don't have a certification document posted for it that i can find. but i am going to assume it exists. i still that that they're overpriced now that i've compared them the boschs below. and the ts batteries arent...

    do you think these batteries are overpriced and if so by how much?

    forget china. let's just talk about the ts batteries. so the bosch powerpack 400 is 675, approx. now 675 / 400 is 1.68. let's take that as the cost per wh. here's what i get for the two offical scoot batteries: 151 x 1.68 = $238 and 274 x 1.68 = $460. assuming that what i'm doing makes...

    it's for the UN certification, as per this from the TS website: . as to 130 battery being close to a 600 one, maybe, maybe not, but that's why i'm asking. alaskan: thank you for that info. it's pretty much what i've been trying to find out -- how much at this time should batteries like the...

    do you think these batteries are overpriced and if so by how much?

    i ride an electric mobility scooter called a travelscoot and have been having a rather heated debate with a facebook group about how much the maker charges for its batteries. i think they're way overpriced and i bought one instead from china but talking about china batteries got my thread...

    Bafang SWX02 hub motor pretty dead. Get some help here?

    yup, already ordered one. now i have to source a cable to convert the waterproof plug to stuff the tester can use. only one i can find on amazon so far isn't on prime and i don't trust things i can't return, esp since this one has no reviews. thanks, tho, for the suggestion.

    i posted this first on the Bafang subforum but i think it'll get more traction (haha) here. if so, i'll go delete the other thread. meanwhile .... So, I'm trying to figure out why the motor doesn't run. sometimes it'll give a little jerk forward but then nada. i don't think it's the...

    What determines low-speed ramp-up smoothness?

    after lots of back and forth w/ magnum, they've decided it's a faulty controller. i'm still under warranty, so they're going to send me a new one ... when they get one in stock and when that's going to be, they can't say.
