0-24 volts

I just bought a Baja Motorsports BE-500 E-Bike (Scooter) from Best Buy. I have 145 miles on it and so far it's been BRILL! Just looking to meet and chat with other BE-500 owners so I can be more aware of how to care for my fun new ride. I have only had a small charger issue so far, but what do you expect for a $900.00 scooter? I would welcome any advice on up-keep, care, and any problems I may encounter down the line. Thanks a ton!

I like this bike more than just about anything. It's just fine for large items, like construction lumber and tools. It's so versatile. I have great gears, big bags,Bionx power when I need it, and exercise. It's not bad in winter, either. When the system is used in "regen" mode, the back wheel is dragged down consistently, so riding on ice and snow becomes more sure.

Hi,

I'm Andrew. I probably own the lightest electric pedicab rickshaw in the World. The total weight including the motor and the batteries is 60KG, this is the first UK road legal electric rickshaw. takes up to three passengers and the entire frame with the body is made from the ultra light alloys. If anyone is interested in looking at this more closely I recommend the website. The link is Pedicab Shop

Hopefully going to be upgrading this schwinn s350 I bought from craigslist (and named her Sasha) just to zip around downtown from my free parking spot to work *15-20 leisurely walk*. Plus just to tinker around.

Japanese commuter bikes always have a front basket. This was a great place to install all the wiring, right on top of the powered wheel, which kept the wires short and neat.
The original wheel was 27" and the new wheel is 26", so I had an extra 30mm of space after lowering the brake and fender to match the new wheel size.
I also artificially raised the basket about 30mm, and this clearance was perfect to slide in a 75mm thick LiFePo4 battery.

The Lectra has an Amphenol socket with 4 coloured wires that allow you to monitor (or charge) the 4 batteries individually, I made a diagram of this:

This bike is the equivalent of a 1980 Vanagon Camper - underpowered, overweight, low performance, but with a mysterious cachet that draws a cult-like following. It looks like an old Honda 90, with about half of the gumption of my childhood friend's Honda 50 moped, and can barely get me back up the hill to my house in Seattle with a rented DVD for payload. But my daughter and wife think it's the cutest thing in the world, with its fire-engine-red plastic stylings, and my daughter wants to ride it instead of taking the bus,so I guess it's good for something. For myself, now that I've dragged the bottom of the Sea of Performance, I'm scheming about a converted full-suspension mountain bike with a 48V Crystalyte motor, maybe running at 72V powered by LiPo's, maybe like that of "Russ." All this said, everywhere I ride this thing, people over 60 want to chat me up about it.
