    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    This is the next type I will get next , probably the 2amp version. My loom is modified so trying different types will be easy. @Kiwimike Do you have a Bosch performance CX and is it hard wired or are you running it through a switch?

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    @Ebikeslife , no success yet. I gave the bike to an electrical engineer I work with and, although he was short on time, he couldn’t see why it wouldn’t work, he confirmed it was wired correctly. He put a scope on it and could see a spike when turning the button on. He suggested it was probably...

    This is how I wired the led push button switch to the converter.

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    Yes, it’s rated from 30v-60v. The switch is mounted between battery and converter, which is sectioned off between battery and motor. http://proa2427b.pic7.websiteonline.cn/upload/WG-48S1203.pdf I guess Bosch senses the voltage drop and restarts for some ‘safety’ reason…

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    It works, kind of... So I installed a 48v buck converter: Szwengao DC-DC Converter. 48V in 12V out. 03A, DC-DC-S-48/12V-NI-03A | Energy Solutions I wired in a switch, which turns out is only rated to 24v... The bike powers on no matter whether the converter and light are switched on or off...

    Grease your threads people! unless you want to have 40% less torque than required. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/torque-lubrication-effects-d_1693.htm I grew up building modified, often force inducted motors, they often had dry or lubricated torque settings. I have always believed...

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    So... I wired in a 36v to 12v buck converter over the weekend, through a switch, and it didn't work, as soon as the converter gets powered the lights flash on for a second then everything shuts down. I bypassed the switch and the same happened when powering up the bike. This is the converter I...

    Anyone have any tips for Tennis Elbow recovery?

    Like I mentioned, research peptides, BPC-157 & TB-500. As you are in acute pain go for BPC-157 daily for 4 weeks. You will likely notice a huge change after a week. Once it settles down I would then get on TB-500 for another 4 weeks to aid recovery and muscle growth. Do your own research there...

    Article Shimano Linkglide for ebikes – first ride

    I wonder what the difference between the LG400 and LG600 are… I can’t see anything in the literature. Looks like they changed the coating.

    Tires for gravel and pavement

    I ride Thunder Burt Super Ground 29" x 2.1" as my commuting tyre, with similar terrain conditions to yours. They are great, I did try the tan wall Super Race but they are too thin and puncture easily. I have ridden many fast tarmac miles on the Thunder Burt in all weather and have never had an...

    Merida E160 8000 - child seat??

    I have a modified Chinese version... Chinese Shotgun Kids Seat, I used a longer threaded rod to make the footpegs wider to fit over the downtube. Removing the battery becomes problematic, and I used old inner-tube to protect the frame. I would say that a version like the Mac Ride Style is a...

    Anyone have any tips for Tennis Elbow recovery?

    Nice post @Jeff McD I’m only early 40’s but have a very physical job, Peptides BPC-157 and now TB-500 changed my life. Do your own research and reap the benefits, along with regular physio you will be impressed how quickly you heal. I favour TB-500 as ot is only injected 2x per week as opposed...

    Power bank/station for charging Bosch

    I know the OP’s question was a little while ago… The Anker 256wh power station is LifeP04 which is arguably the best chemistry for the purpose, but it only discharges to 20% so it can only output 200ishWH, then there will be losses due to the 36v conversion which will be DC24/36/48v to 240v to...

    12V Ebike front light with handlebar switch

    Hey @BeBiker, I run the M99 mini pro 25, yes you can turn it on and off with the button if it is directly connected to the battery. Short or long press to turn it on then a short press will do high/low, long press to turn it off. The M99 mini pro 25 is totally adequate for night riding in the...

    Thumb's Up!

    I have had a physio mould a thumb brace for me so that I could continue work. it worked great and I could still grip and use my hand. There looks to be a lot of products on the market, some are from the same thermoplastic which can be heated and moulded to a custom fit. something like this...

    they are converting the other way. DT Swiss Steel ratchet freehub conversion kit for Shimano MTB, 142 / 12 mm or BOOST This is what I used, it allows me to fit a Shimano HG 10speed to what was a Hyperglide hub, there are other versions for 3 pawl ratchets etc, not sure if they are specific to...
