Mate, I think those cells dont have enough amps on discharge for that motor. I am working on the same bike and had to use same lifepo as that motor gulps 20+ amps
@@EbikeRepairsyeah. And they probably will. As you saw they had two layers of nickel 10mm wide. Probably be cause of huge amps. Cable is 14awg of I am not mistaking but coper xan take 30A in 14Awg. Hope it will last. I also wanted to go to 18650 but when I saw consumption I decided to stay on the originals. Whey were expensive but I am sure it will be as original. And the cell was 6Ah so that is even larger than original 4-5
That was very interesting , couple of hoverboard batteries in series and it’s back up and running 😁
Almost exactly yes!
Deans connector is the name of the 'plug'
Thankyou! I knew that deep down in my brain somewhere 🤣
What a wild looking prototype e bike. I bet that drive gear makes so noise when running at speed. A lot of work to design and build that e bike.
Isn't it cool! The guy said it wasn't very good to ride after it was all done

@@diyzona I used 10s 2p lg mj1 - so 20 rated current should be about right, they can peak at that no problem, but continuous they would get hot!

Why not use lifepo4 again. Its quite save if you compare it with ion.
Edit: who in the right minds solders on a lithium cell...
Correct but here in the UK I don't have a good source for those cells, and I know 18650s!
