Illegal, dangerous, no tax, insurance, MOT or motorcycle licence ? It is 6 points for no insurance and confiscation, 3 points for no tax, 3 points for no MOT and probably another 3 points for no motorcycle licence at least. The police will get you in the end and your licence will be taken off you for 18 months or so. No motorcycle helmet also.
Sounds like your a jealous baby
@@markcorndog No, just sensible and law abiding. I have an electric CAR which is fully road legal and 8 proper push bikes to push out my own watts on, the latest being a cannondale system six dura ace road, not cheat like a disabled mobility scooter rider on steroids, I would be ashamed.
Might have known it, your a “real” Lycra cyclist. I don’t need to show my balls through tight leggings.😁 Come and have a ride if you are man enough!
@@andykirby I am a biomechanical power producer not a mechanical doper, don't need artificial aids. Where is the pride and achievement in that ?
I love it when jealous legal people pop in for a chat, it brightens up my day no end. The comments are sooooo comical and some people have a degree in stating the bleeding obvious. Personally, I'd be proud to produce something like this which is more of an achievement than producing energy from moving legs in a circular motion, accompanied by heavy breathing and a leaking forehead.
We all have tax, MOT, insurance and a license but not necessarily on the correct vehicles 🤣
Andy, your DIY ebike videos are sooo addictive. I can't wait (but want too) see your build of the beastiest ebike ever! :D
Glad it worked well for you mate! You did an awesome job on that battery.
Brilliant mate, it's exactly what I was hoping for!
Thanks for the shout-out and let's hope we can make VBMS a 100% replacement for the CA 😉
yes, this video was a couple of weeks back now, as you know from our conversations the VBMS has replaced my CA completely now.
does the vbms work with all bluetooth bms's or something
@@joshuahuang07 Hey Joshua, no just this one, Vortecks has done some extensive programming on it.......... It originly came out with an app but us poor english blokes could not understand it... And since then Vortecks has ugraded it to be a whole other beast. Check out some of the capability in one of his videos th-cam.com/video/rNPEoK-n_d4/w-d-xo.html And here is the app for purchase once you have that BMS.. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vortecks.vbms&hl=en_US
@@GapRecordingsNamibia Where can i download the apk for free....
@@marstonmallow8202 , hi, the app is only for free when you buy the bms or upon joining Vortecks2000 patreon page, otherwise you can purchase on google play and app store for a small amount.
Love your videos especially when you ride your ebike around the green lanes.admire your knowledge on the build of ebikes the electrics and putting batteries together. Your bikes are so amazingly fast.keep up the good work.

Great video!! My ebike build was supposed to be done already but like you looking i was looking for the right battery that was capable of the type of power that you need for this type of setup so thanks for the info and the inspiration!!
HI Looking at your video you have it inside the compartment, mine wont fit as the base plate of the sabvoton is wider , did you remove the side lips for it to fit, cheers brian
Captain pugwash what an absolute Pratt 😂
He's just sour because 250w can leave him for dust on a hill climb.
Wet, narrow, busy road with lots of blind curves on a bike going 50 mph. Yep, my idea of fun.
Brilliant, mate.
Wow! You've definitely got the power there buddy! I would put the regen on the brake, so you can coast easily. And it might catch you out on a slippery surface. And how about a front hub too.
Hi andy, do you still get a voltage after shutting down the bms? I seem to have a voltage of about 62v when off. Thanks Martin
It’ll prob be like a sensing voltage or residual from the caps. If you tried pulling any power from it it would just go to zero I bet.
@@andykirby thx Andy will try that! It didn't occur to me I bet ya right thx for replying
Also whay sort of temperature do get on your bms when charging mine got to 80c then I bottled out lol just wondered if this was normal
Just tested, you where right thx
That is exactly what I wanted to see bout to buy some now. I thought Tony would have finished by now. Great job
Tony is still designing his :-)
Tony's will be better than mine for sure!
@@andykirby Not the way it's going at the moment 😒
Every time I saw a patch of water on the road I clenched up. Movin'. Nice goin.
Your country side is simply spectacular, need to see how fast you are going! Enjoy!
That's a monster build there Andy! My bike gives around 82v at full charge. I don't have a cycle anaylst, so it's interesting to see what your battery pulls at each different stage. Would like to see more bike vids when you have the chance!
That sir is bloody marvellous. I have just got to build myself one of those. If only someone could produce/sell a comprehensive build tutorial and parts supply list with basic costings. Hint hint !!!! Well done bro, awesome build, keep up the great work. Subbed.
How do you order that long seat? My bike came with a regular seat and it's very uncomfortable after a while since I'm almost 300lb.
Can you install a Lipo battery to provide switched power surge button?
Lol love it i bought a 72v 26ah off eBay 500 pound. And love speed now was running 48v be for. I think I'm going to biuld one like this as well 😆💪power
that battery and my 8000 watt hub motor i can not wait untill it is complete. should be alot of fun
8000watt? Bloody hell I'm currently testing a 3000watt motor and it feels unnecessary.
same, going to buy these 26650s on the 11/11 sale. Using a qs205 hub motor with the 72v100a sabvoton controller. What motor/frame are you using
i have the QS273 motor and the enduro frame that andy has.
Steven Haworth can the stock qs205 handle 8kw or do i need cooling mods
sorry i dont know i am building this for the first time butt on andy's bike he uses a 4kw motor and that stays cool with the sabvoton 150amp controller.
Hey I once had the same idea with the filt stuff, but I quickly realised that this material 1. Holds moisture 2. Creates statice electric discharges. Better to get cork or rubber like material neoprene for example
How does re gen put power back evenly into the cells when re gen has no battery balance circuitry? or is it that re gen does not put so much back in that there is any need to care?
Quality as always fella! Your tunes are quality btw, sounds like hospital records stuff! I need to build MK3 now 😂
@andy kirby Ha! I'm not far from you (Essex) and I'm a home brew electric bike rider/builder. Mine isn't as mighty as your bike but it still makes me squeal with excitement when I ride it. I'm a battery builder too - in the process of making a solar shed based power wall which eventually (in theory) will have enough energy to run the house . Is that something you are going to look into and maybe Vlog about in the future? Keep up the videos - fascinating stuff :)
Excellent! Well if you see me about feel free to shout at me! I’m thinking of organising an Essex meet-up soon, either on ebikes or not but it would be great to meet some locals and see what they are doing anyway.
Yep I’ve done a few videos about solar and powerwalls, check the back catalog😁 I’ve been working on another project which is a big 72V battery and a 6kW inverter to allow charging of electric vehicles that are stranded without a charge point, that will be coming soon.👍
@@andykirby I'd be up for a meet - maybe at the Cricketers Arms - Rickling Green (nice place!). It would be good to compare notes and TBH you've got me interested in the Twizy! I've watched the previous vids now. Noticed you lived in Halstead :) I know that place very well...
Really am interested in the 6kW inverter. My interests are with building things on the cheap. Like yourself, can easily go out and buy most of this stuff but where is the fun in that? I'm building up my collection of 18650's and will be getting my solar power wall constructed in the next few weeks, just in time for the dark winter nights :(
Yeah love the cricketers and not far from me, perfect run for the bike.😁 Are you about any time this week? Weather looks pretty good.
@@andykirby Yes mate - I'll email you to the Cloudsto email address. Si
I can't wait to undergo my ebike build
.you are helping me out immensely
Andy nice one mate I have a ebike best thing I have ever bought great fun to ride 😎
Hey Andy after reading some of the replies I think you should do a clip about the ebike legal use as a few people don’t get it lol 😂 as I use mine all over Europe (and it’s a folding ebike that fits in my coach boot for people who can’t work that out too lol)
Inspirational. Really interested to know what the weight of the bike is compared to your new Bafang build.... Considering a Nyx frame for weight reduction. Thoughts?
It’s a lot! The big suspension and steel frame make it strong and with the battery, lights, big controller and motorcycle wheels it’s about 45kg, the vapour build was about 26kg with the lightweight battery. The big bike has 3 times as much power (at least) and it still accelerates quicker with a higher top end, it is however less stable for off road riding. So you see they are different animals!
Hi Andy, can I ask what happened to your battery from Insat? I have 2 of the same battery from Insat and am paranoid they are going to fail?
They won’t fail. I destroyed mine, we think it was due to the adaptto controller and charging at 35A. Keep charge rates low and all should be fine.
@@andykirby cheers Andy..
what was the capacity based on the build?
Dizzy swinging. 😀
Please attach the camera to a lower chest mount, where we can see the bike handle as well as front landscape.
Hey I had fun watching the battery building and bike testing. But I cant seem to find a exact description of the Li battery cells or a link Can someone point me to a source or something similar? Thanks
go to aliexpress website and just type in litokala
Top notch, that is quite a accomplishment....I'm thinking of putting a mxus geared hub motor on my enduro mh308??? I forget now. But I'm usually under 25mph so the mxus 20 pounder is kinda useless.
The battery you have build 84v 25amp hour how many miles do you get out of normal 20mph cruise
20mph would be about 30 miles I’m guessing. at 30-40mph it’s around 25 miles.
Like how you laugh out loud when you pass a cyclist.... thought I was the only one that did that lol even better when its a pro cyclist. Keep them videos coming
Nice drum an bass tune, I produce hip hop myself, but still likes a bit of drum an bass, learning logic pro 10, used to use reason, logic big difference, you've done a bad ass job on that bike, fair play.............
Hey do you make ans sale that battery? If so how much ? I am going to build a 72v 12000w 150ah E-Bike to get around. I am going totally off grid.
That is such a cool project mate!!!
Can the balance and disconnect voltage be programmed on that bms?? I could use a 7s, bms that can do 125-150 amps continuous I was thinking of using two since I need nearly 300amps at up to 29.4v , I'm thinking about a baitrium.. Only its the $$$ $500-$600 for a bms. It does have alot of options and features.. I need it for my home power source. I want to get started on my bike. I'd love to go with two 3kw hub motors, and a 3 kw mid mount, and over volt it a bit. I just want it to do about 80 mph or so. And take hills. I may just build a street and trail bike. The cells I'm thinking of using will do 200a. 8ah. Lipo cells. Maybe put 16ga aluminum plate between them, slightly larger. To add air cooling. Build maybe 24-30 ah,20s pack.
hi what AH was the pack in the end ??
0.121 ohm internal resistance is a bit high, but expected for 5P. How is it holding up?
Still going strong!
Hi Andy, i hope you are well , please can you give me a link form where you got your BMS please thank you. good job keep the good work up , i like your bike very much thanks, take care.
Take my money now
Hi Andy, great job on the battery. Looks like it has turned out fantastic. Just out of interest though what was the rough distance you covered on that first outing using only 5ah?
Fascinating stuff.
Having recently done my motorcycle test I'm wondering now why I bothered!! 😂😂😂
I was also wondering what on earth you're using for brakes (Brembos are good) and suspension on that machine. I'm assuming normal bicycle calipers won't cut it... you defo need good mirrors otherwise you're risking getting surprised by traffic behind you.
Good luck with this... it's highly entertaining!
Great ebike! Your sabvoton with lcd screen have support PAS sensor?
Another awesome video. Did you top out the speed?
I’m looking forward to building out my Vector frame. With eventual an extended crank to accommodate 70Ah at 72volts. :)
That BMS, will balance quicker at I believe 200ma and the live cell data is very helpful. I’m giving up on standard BMSs will keep to present system using a Deligreen active equaliser and balance circuits up to 3amp.
And the haters gonna hate that Neal, makes me laugh funny guy. Great entertainment.
What has Tony, been doing? Time to visit his site. His VBMS (I bought while ago) is very good.
Can ya send me a link on where you got those batteries it would help a lot thanks mate
hi Andy, Im building an electric enduro bike like the one you have. Part of the kit is a 72v 150A sabvoton controller, how did you install yours as mine is wider than the frame so putting it inside the battery compartment is a no go with the battery. any suggestions would be a great help. cheers brian
you need to cut the mounts off the side.
hi brett that did cross my mind . Cheers
I don't think my Bafang charger balances, just applies say 55 V to 13 series. It seems to limit to 2 amps and then after that gradually tops off.
That was epic! Can you recommend any 18650 bats for my mtb torch? I have ordered a holder for them. Not sure which 18650s to buy, so many to choose from.
Thanks! Im not really sure about torches but I presume it’s something high discharge, maybe Samsung INR18650-30Q would be a good choice, it’s pretty high discharge and 3Ah, or you could use Samsung 25R.
@@andykirby thanks for your reply. Yes, it's pretty high. burns a pack of 4 of them out in 2 hours.
Going to need some Kevlar bike jeans for that dude. Sorry to be all health and safety. Falling off at low speeds is bad enough. Many skin grafts required if you fall off at 50mph. Be safe.
Does the display show you individual cell voltage?
how many amps was the pack i missed it
Love your videos Andy. It's weird, you're like a carbon copy of me. I have all the same interests going on here too. Been looking to build a battery wall for my T5 so I can have massive capacity externally, which is also a lot safer. Been hoping to start doing my own vlogs as well, so you never know, you might see me vlogging here soon. Keep up the awesome work man, I've literally been binge watching all your videos.
Just get a cheapest travel hairdryer from Argos. Set it to 110V and run it off battery with a power meter. At 110V they consume about 1.2KW so at 70V you will get 600w discharge if you want more just plug some in parallel. It's a cheap way to get high wattage discharger, plus the discharger doesn't overheat as it has a fan. I use them to discharge my 48 and 52V batteries. The closer your battery voltage to 110v the better they work. For my 52V battery i need to plug in 5 in parallel to get 25A discharge, but for you 2 should be enough.
That’s a really great idea 👍 thanks!
Where is the build video for this bike fella
Cool and Scary I would not want to get on until I had an airbag helmet
What motor and esc are you using
Sabvoton 150A - www.cloudsto.com/ebikes/sabvoton-72v-150a-controller-complete-setup-with-tft-screen-detail.html motor is here: www.cloudsto.com/ebikes/qs-v3-5000w-motor-with-19-inch-motorcycle-rim-detail.html
What a kill joy this captain pugwash guy is! Here in the states he would make a great brainwashed bureaucrat lol! No matter what you ask him the same preprogrammed response would pop right out of his mouth. Damn lemmings can sure suck the fun right outta a good time you know. The Los Angeles hot rod scene back in the 50’s, there were a ton of illegal modifications done to the cars. This enabled guys to tweak stuff and come up with lots of new innovations that have been implemented into cars that we enjoy today. Free spirited people like Andy Kirby are why lemmings like pugwash even have their little push bikes in the first place. Andy Kirby = awesome, fun, fast, new innovations Captain washthefunrightoutofit = BOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRING 😊
how thick are the nickel straps you're using?
You should go as fat tire as you can 2.5 inch wide i ride 2.3 on my bike in nyc winter it grips great Great vid chap lol
have you got a link for the cells you used please?
I think they're off alliexpress just make sure to enter in "Litokala 26650-50a" and it should come up. There are lots of different 26650 cell just make sure that there is the 50a at the end. Hope this helps until Andy can get back to you.
@@GapRecordingsNamibia ok great thanks. Will have a look on Ali express
Awesome machine!
Hiya Andy . could you tell me what controler you're using ?
He's using a sabvoton 72150 (model svmc72150) from an ncyclebike kit that bundles the TFT display. He's got another video on it.
With your help over the past year I have rebuilt my e bike in to a monster that allowed me to ride over 112 miles in 52 miles charge cycles. Road from Syracuse ny to canton ny over 1.5 day's
That’s really awesome and a great achievement! Glad you found the videos useful.👍👍👍
That bike is scary fast with that battery. Do you need a special vehicle or operator license for that bike in the UK given its speed capability?
I have 48V 17.5 Ah and I can get a good 45 miles of pedal assist cruising in the lower 20s. At full speed it's probably more like 20 something miles range. With 80V 20Ah it would be cool although it would probably blow my controller. Maybe I'd try wiring it to 30Ah at 2/3 of the voltage but it would go a long way on the lower top speeds of my motor. Wearing cyclist clothing/lycra increases range and performance, but not great in a crash.
A lot of power love it.
Do you make custom built ebike with rechargeable battery system used on motorcycles, if so can one commission you to build and how much?
Yes, email me andy@cloudsto.com
sent you an email, thanks
Hi Andy. My name is Gary I'm thinking about a Stealth ebike like yours an i don't know alot about them when it comes to all the electronics you have on yours. Your bike is so awesome and amazing i love the carbon fiber look on it, such a beautiful bike. The one I'm looking at is a 5000w 72v an has a 80A controller. An the other one is a 6000w 72v an a sabvoton72v 100A programable the difference is 400 dollar or pounds. I don't know if the programable one would be better or not since I don't know so much when it comes to all the numbers. An was wondering if you could tell me witch one would be better for riding around town an on bike trails an what size tires I should go with 19 or 26 I live in The USA.. You know so much it's so interesting to hear you talk about what your doing an how you do things I'm don't alwasy understand everything your talking about but you I'm am learning. If you have a minute could you please suggest what may be better your advice would be deeply appreciate. Thanks for sharing your videos and knowledge to the world you truly know your stuff. Thank you again.Ride Safe an God Bless.
Excellent reply 👍🏻
Awesome mate
Banging.
How much does it cost to build a pack
i'd say about $500 not including the welder and some materials.
Tasty Andy. I'd be a bit worried about squeezing the batteries in so tight they are flexing the side panels. Any expansion and you've no wriggle room. Either the panels are going to crack, pop off or packs are going to get damaged. Maybe you can just bring the panels out a few mm with some extra seal?
Those packs are obviously very powerful but itss all about the range for me. Is that a 3000watt motor and controller? Love to see a range test.
I have awsome assist up too 15mph In the middle of a town thats scary enough for me I can cook most cars off the lights...great warranty from Michel cycles who import merida....I love your machine...I keep me pecans in a jar@home..People really piss me of beeping at me cos i have enough speed to compete...especially at trafic lights when i dont slow them down by doing the button/walk thang....How much did each bank cost complete ?...As for the law i dont submit to private company mercs...
Until it was stolen ...bought with money from my mum who died.......Unbreakable kryptonite lock unless you got a cordless agrinder.......Sorry mum thanks for the feather i do remember 40yrs ago you said youd send me that exact message...............An no i wont get angry......I had just made friends with her after 30yrs of not speaking....She fell down the stairs and had a bruise in hospital she caught Pnumoania and kicked it............A bruise......And the bike was 20 mt away in my sight..Until the bus went past......That quik.......an sneaky..a lesson learned..
All that beast needs now is heated handlebars!
You're basically an honorary American from this.
If the wallopers pull you up tell them you have Crafts disease .
@andy kirby bet you've never seen a post with this much attention? Also, your veiws were at 5299, I went to look at 1 other thing not even 2 mins. and when I came back it showed 5361 veiws..... 💯 Out of 💯 for this one mate!!!
Hey mate, yeah it’s gone pretty mad this one😅 the series isn’t finished yet, the next ones about the BMS but I’ve got a feeling this one is going to be the most popular in this series 😁 hope you are well.
@@andykirby Hey man. All good thanks....
What was the final top speed?
55mph
are you using a 83 mm bottom bracket.
14KW = 19BHP....that's crazy considering the weight on your bicycle
What Camera are you using? The Video is great and the sound is also. Have you considered using a rear camera? Using a front facing camera doesn't really show how fast your going because everything is coming towards you creating an almost slow motion effect, while a rear facing camera lets you see how your moving forward and leaving everything behind. Who would have thunk it. Sounds like the opposite of what you would think. Love the videos, I wish I could show you what I've been working on. I know that you're insanely busy. I assume that you're using a mid-drive motor. Not really sure. I build both mid-drive and gear less hub motor bikes and my latest build is a dual drive, hub motor fat bike. Each motor is helping the other and the torque is amazing. 40 miles an hour tops for now with two 48volt 20 amp hour batteries. Distance is about 40 miles plus at around 30 to 35 miles per hour. At full speed I was having issues with the wiring; especially where the butt connectors are, melting the connectors...not the wires but the connectors. The original controllers are rated at 26 amps max current limit. Each motor is 1000 watts. I Just bought two new sine wave controllers rated at 38 amps max current limit and hope to increase the speed, reduce the motor noise, as well as reduce the heat on the wires. I look up to you and I'd love to show you what I've built and get your input. Design is a big factor in my bikes. Looks are everything.
looks good mate
You’ve got to make time somewhere unless you’re happy to dip into your pocket all the time .
Great to build and well done to you but what if you hit someone you could seriously hurt or kill them where is the insurance
I think if you kill someone in any vehicle you’ve got bigger problems than not having insurance.
Glad you like it mate nothing on your scale took my ebike out for a rip on Saturday only 52v 1500w still fun no peddling
I got a 52v 1000w pulls me along about 35 on the flat and about 20 mile range. No need for a second car now
Excuse me? You should never be proud of 'no pedalling'. The whole idea is to pedal with resistance at high speeds.
@@sharkmentality9717 I do pedal most of the time but still fun no peddling when you don't have to
@@wheelerdealer7098 nice
@@wheelerdealer7098 I've got the same mate. I've played around with bigger motors and voltage but I can't see the need for more than a good 1000watt 52 volt set up. Plenty fast enough and good range.
Andy has a. TWIZZY. LOL!!! 😁😄. His DEMON e-bicycle which is faster than his Twizzy MUCH, MUCH FASTER!!! 👏👏👏👍😋
Pode ser bateria de ferramenta assim de furadeira , serra de disco .
whats with all these melts chiming in about the law.... its a legit way to get out of cars surely that's a good thing, awesome build man looks like a ton of fun
To discharge, use as many 12v halogen bulbs in series as required, rig up a voltage sensor/cut-off circuit that shuts the discharge off at the required voltage
for fast initial balance charging see here:
th-cam.com/video/wIbHLacozFo/w-d-xo.html
After over a year of watching your vid's Andy just wish I had the funds to build such a beast I see all the banging on about it not legal an so on and the speed but to me in the end the speed limits 70 mph so why build cars and Motorbikes that can go faster UK bike assist limit 15-16mph so why build Ebikes that can go faster Top answer seems to be cause we can. I ride Motorbikes as well but love my Ebike I try not to stick out from the crowd by sticking to bicycle frames and 60v 2000-3000w to keep a stealth approach keep the vid's coming I've learnt lots from your stuff
Thanks for the comment, glad you find the videos interesting. I think the problem here is the fact that the legal ebike limit is a joke really, I mean we can all pedal faster than 15.5 mph and theres olympic cyclists around here cruising around at 30mph+, personally I think 30mph is fine for an ebike and it gets you where you want to go pretty quickly once you consider that you are also avoiding all traffic and can go anywhere you like (across fields, tracks etc). This is a real modern day form of transport. Keeping it stealth is great but at the end of the day we have to stand up for what we want, if we want to inflict change the best thing we can do is get out there and change it for ourselves.
Will go with you on that speed wise we should be looking at around the 28- 30mph same as the speed speed pedelecs EU my little beast can make 43 on the flat if I have not eaten to many pasties that day and a bicycle frame and parts are at there limits at that sort of speed she's used near every day for my work commute I can keep up with traffic all town riding and I feel as safe as on the motor bike the same can not be said of just cycling the daily trip with the close passes and the I have to get in front of the bike brigade drivers. keep the Videos coming and thanks to you for your time making them
@@martynellaway7642 The only problem turning a "normal" bike into an ebike is the appalling state of our roads.
I'm a Night Shift Trucker so I (obviously) use my ebike at silly o'clock. Yesterday I swear I damned near broke my wrists when I hit an uneven surface whilst doing about 30mph ! Fortunately my ebike is a genuine "Powabike" that I've souped up so the frame etc is a bit beefier.
Re: Pedalling.. Well if I select zero assist then I can 100% Leg it but it's a bloody heavy bike with low speed gearing and once you go over 18mph your legs would be going eleventy bazillion revolutions. I just pretend I'm pedalling so Jo Public thinks.. "He's doing well" !!
@@0utcastAussie Yep roads are bad down this way as well bike gets off road as well I green lane with motor bikes so the ebike gets to green lane as well summer time as a rule as it dam gnarly deep mud and rock climbs come winter in Devon and the river crossings can be 2-3 feet deep so you need a petrol motor for that. I Built my bike 12 months ago now had to swap the front forks out for a triple clamp set and have burnt out one controller but its been fun and fast thing that surprised me the most is the lack of interest in it at work. Now that might seem like why is he expecting interest well I work in a school 1500+ kids and in 12 months 2-3 have said ebike how fast dos it go I want one sort of thing. Now 40 years back when I was at school if someone showed you a push bike could have a Electric motor an do 30-40mph every kid in the school would be wanting one or building one. link to my bike now running 45amp controller 2000w motor. th-cam.com/video/npXjrIYjWGo/w-d-xo.html
Yeah! That's it.... Hate comments my arsse. I won't stand for anyone bad mouthing either you or Tony..... There are ZERO REAL WORLD TESTS on those 26650's, and that was what I said to that wing nut last week. No matter what he said there was no REAL WORLD data this is the first that's come in well done Andy. I am absoloutly happy right now for you and hope you enjoy that battery....
why have you bought a 300 amps BMS when your battery pack is only supplying 100amps you got a 5p so 20x5 is 100amps?
Why not! Room for expansion in the future
how can you expand to 300 amps in the future you'll barely got room for 100amps, better cooling for the mosfets in the BMS would have been a better answer.
Its about time you have a TRUE balance charger such as a Revoletrix to do those packs some justice..as opposed to discharging to balance
not heard of those, will check it out, thanks.
just checked, could only see 8S chargers. Most of my other chargers can go from 1S to 14S and some go as high as 20S.
@@andykirby I think there is a Cellpro 10xp from memory...Its about the way they do a 'true' balance charge as opposed to bleeding off the excess voltage.The guy to speak to in the UK would be Any Hinton at Optipower.
PS..their li-po's do work :-)
Gat a bunch of 12 v inverters in series
Beautiful
Great Music btw - anyway - Andy - maybe you should License it to other Creators - for a nominal fee - so they don't all sound like Casey Neistat - same background groove tune - helmet !
It’s all very nice but you avoiding the main questions. What’s the top speed? And what’s the range???
60mph, 40 miles.
