Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

Cheers guys.

Never buy a battery unless you know what cells are in it.

“Samsung” or “Sanyo” etc tells you almost nothing about what cells they are. That’s like describing a car you’re going to buy as “a Ford”. Yeah, but which one?

That’s why. Braking profiles are pre set on there. What’s worse, the new wheels are larger in diameter and heavier. This will hurt your braking performance.

A Vesc will let you control brakes. And sounds like you need it.

I had many times where I mashed to fill brakes at 20mph with my ownboard esc and hubs and felt like nothing was happening. It’s scary. Get a Vesc

Is 33.6v for a 12s battery voltage cutoff fine?

For final cutoff? It’s fine. A tad low, I would suggest 2.9 per cell. Once you go below 3.0, there’s really not much power left anyway.

I have my 12s cutoff starting at 38.4 and ending at 34.8 and I feel like most people would say that is on the low side.

Yup. Sound advice. Don’t know what the cells are. Good Deals Thread

Haha, my other board (Zhong) with Ownboard ESC and hubs has fabulous brakes in comparison to this one… yes, I need a VESC.
The only regret I have with Zhong is to not have bypassed the BMS - Braking on a full battery, it will cut off the brakes, sending me to to street.

Why do you want the battery in a backpack?

Now I am trying to imagine a backpack in a battery… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Don’t know mate. Considering doing something different. Have you seen this? Morpheus | Backpack MTB | Refined Commuter. Just looking really. It’s in an auction site. If it’s cheap I might bid

Feel free to ask whatever you want. I’m test riding the latest iteration with Unity tonight.

Yes and it’s in the red zone. Don’t discharge that ANY lower and slow-charge it at once until it’s over 36.0V

Bro, that thing is TINY, XT90 for scale.


I’ll try it in the next few days, thank again :hugs:

After unscrewing the adapter, nothing changed. Also, the screws are pretty short and it seems that the place where it screws in is protected by steel. I don’t think it can go far enough to damage anything :

@JoelM
I have access to the motor bearing, but I don’t see anything unusual. The wheels bearing are working perfectly.

Also, you can find stainless steel keys on Amazon.

Yeah, the power density on some of those DC-DC converters is just stupid high.

The craziest one I’ve found is a thing called a Bus Converter from Vicor - It offers fixed ratio (4:1 or 6:1 Vin:Vout), Bidirectional DC-DC conversion from 36-60v in and up to one hundred and thirty amps output, with a power density up to 2.7KW per cubic inch. That’s better than any gas guzzler engine even if you cheat and go by displacement rather than the whole engine.

Only downside is they’re $400+ each XD

@Trampa is is possible to get custom anodized pieces done on request. For example your bullbars?

Hi Dude
it is possible, but problem one is that the 7075 dont like many colours, really hard sometimes to match with excisting colourwish… problem two is you need a MOQ of around 150€ per colourchoice.

Wich colour you want?
How many parts?
