PS if you are going to have to replace the battery-side connector, hilleater.ca sells a 'heavy duty' version of the male and female versions of the connector (larger lugs i believe): https://hilleater.ca/parts/connectors/?sort=featured&page=1 I was toying with the idea of installing these but I...

i agree there's a design issue with these connectors for the larger (heavier) packs. I got tired of cracking the top battery mounting plate on my bike frame (luckily much easier to replace than the battery-side connector) on like a yearly basis (my commute involves terrible roads) and just...

it's not for the faint of heart but here is a little walkthrough that will help you see what the process is: https://hilleater.ca/blog/repairing-a-bad-connector-on-the-reention-dorado-downtube-battery/ it is important not only to replace the connectors, but also make sure that the receiving...

oops chiming in late here - susie, welcome back and congrats, hope your fam is managing to get some sleep with the new kiddo around! all three of my aijiupower batteries are working perfectly - reckon i put ~1400 miles on one of my dorado packs and ~500 on the other dolphin-style... had to tow...

yep no suspension - i did have some 1" foam which i put underneath everything but maybe it was a little too stiff? i can't imagine carrying a drumkit without the trailer becoming dangerously top heavy...!

i sort of dabble in a lot of things (guitar,bass,keys mainly) but am a master of none! due to the worsening state of parking near the practice space that we used, i started to bike in using my surface604 colt and a cheap 20" wheeled trailer from amazon. taking a guitar, a yamaha reface (the...

i hope so!! even on my lighter geared hub bike i always seem to run into something screwy - after swapping to my winter spikes on that bike, i introduced air into my brake system from having the bike flipped wheels-up... so i bled the system, only to get mineral oil on both front and rear brake...

after wrestling with removing and re-mounting the rear wheel on my direct drive hub last night, i would have to say a significant benefit to mid-drives (in addition to the many benefits mentioned here) is simplicity in wheel changes. i always seem to have trouble lining up things right even...

well like ahicks mentioned the programming varies a lot so for example, on my colt, i could take the bafang programmer cable and change the settings so that each PAS level gives a certain amount of assistance without any speed restriction (which a decent number of people like to do), but by...

i see the same thing as ahicks is seeing - you pick a level of PAS and the motor gives that level of assist regardless of cadence but tapers off as you hit the target speed of that particular PAS setting. for me if i want to do any sort of pedalling i undershoot my target speed with PAS and...

PS btw ebikeling got back to me and said the bafang programmer cable is NOT compatible with their ebikeling kits...! ah well...

Well one place the mid drive might actually help is pulling away from a stop, since if your kit is like mine it takes a little bit of pedaling before the pas kicks in right? It could be that my magnet disc isn't quite aligned right- I had it mounted on an octalink bottom bracket and had to...

Thx bigmatt! I wonder what it would be like to add a mid drive to your awd bike that would be RIDICULOUS TORQUE

ah good idea, thx! i was thinking if i ever get sucked into a checkpoint i might try just setting my PAS to a level that ends up at around 20 and showing the cop "see, it's limited to 20mph". currently PAS3 takes me to 16mph and PAS4 takes me to 25mph so I reckon i just have to fidget with the...

say does anybody know if the bafang programming cable works with this ebikeling kit? I was hoping to tweak one of the settings to give me a top assist speed of 20 mph...

I hear you on that, I'm in NYC...! One thing I haven't been able to quite put together is how this 1200w kit makes me faster than the other commuter ebikes that I encounter... But there's always a delivery guy with a small geared hub motor that kicks my butt. It must be the torque??

I'm no expert but I think it's safest to select a bms to match or exceed the current rating of the controller... a bms with a certain current rating might not be set to trigger its fault protection until a substantially higher discharge current is encountered but unless you intricately know the...

I went with a Polly dp-9 from Susie at aijiupower.com but the case wasn't perfect since I originally wanted a 35a bms (if I ever wanted to try a 1500w kit) and that size bms would've required too much hacking at the case to fit... Anyhow the Polly + 30A bms I ended up with works great with the...

more to ahicks' point about the wattage being hard to prove - who's to say that the manufacturer's original watt ratings are any more accurate than the sticker? like maybe if your application is punishing the DD motor with a heavy load slowly up long uphills, an ostensibly legal looking 750...

i love how the 250w sticker is the polar opposite of those car guys putting on fake air scoops and "turbo stickers"! but the conversation really got me thinking (apologies for momentary thread hijack:) if we set aside the sticker and think through thomas' argument about lawsuits; i wonder if...
