Yes - I have two sets of batteries. My charging solution is slow so I need two sets when I need the setup to go for a longer period. As I do at the King In The North uphill event. I do the hill while one set is charging. I still need half an hour break between battery shifts. Charging solution is not fast enough.
@DEEIF Yeah - a lot of thoughts have been put in to this deck The back drop has s perfect curve to push against.
Thanks @BillGordon. I run the mamba XlX esc’s. They have proved surprisingly manageabl. They have tons of adjustability options. And they are really easy to adjust. I really like that they use % instead of amps when I adjust power and breaks. I set it to the percentage I want. Its just easier for a nontechnical person like myself, that easy can get lost in amps I can set it so my 10 year boy can slam the trigger or breaks and still have full control and I can set it so even Ayrton Senna wouldn’t have a change standing on it. Currently running 75% power and 50% break.
I have a throttle curve for the track, where I also run dragbreak, and a throttle curve for the street and uphill. Very pleased.
They do not start from a stop as smooth as a vesc. When up in speed I dont feel any difference. They are a bit bulky and have a cooling fan that makes a little noice. I am also building myself a new cruiser at the moment. Here I patiently waiting for the 60D to be available. That would be my choice for a street cruiser.
I switch the board on and off by taking apart the two black jacks. They have an anti spark in them. The setup is basic and simple and a bit cumbersome if it were my daily cruiser. But it’s made with a huge safety margin. I have had a vesc fail on me and a blown fuse. Never again. Fewer features = fewer things that can fail
