    Nice! Never think someone who will spend time and money to making video for Smartdrive, it seems may not attract mostly people doesn’t know what smartdrive is, but for me or for some owners this is very valuable and useful, thank you very much

    It is criminal that these are $12000 in Australia. There is nothing overly expensive here. Think about how much electric bike you could get for $12000. After 46 yrs as a wheelchair chair user I am convinced that the whole industry is run by criminals.

      I'm still in shock from the prices and how little you get for that amount of money, it's been more stressful dealing with 'how can I afford the cost of this equipment' than the fact that I can't use my legs for walking anymore... it really seems like making things myself is my only real option. time to learn a whole lot of skills !

    My battery was sitting brand new in the box since my accident in 2018. I didn't use it.
    I've plugged it in, and the blue lights roll, then sit lit up, all four, but then when I unplug it, and press the "on" button, the lights don't light up.
    Pls tell me what your thoughts are.
    Thank you.💯
    P.s.
    Is it not going on because I no longer have the watch? Don't know what happened to the watch. It's not in the box.

    Battery Dr. I have one these. The unit turns on and has charge. My problem is using the charger I have doesn't charge the unit when plugged in. The transformer has an indicator light, green when full/disconnected and red when charging. It is only green. I made sure no debris in the connector and feels like it seats well. Can you tell me if I have battery problem or charger problem. Thank for your time. Your video is well done. I love the passion and enthusiasm.

    Neat little device but the price is too high considering such low capacity and the fact that its mostly for disabled people who in my experience don't have that high of a budget.

    A resistor with a single black line is called a zero-ohm resistor, used so a Pick and place machine can be used to place the part. And yes that small board is a wireless module. Why remove the protective cover before giving it a charge? The battery pack from the manufacture is $50.

    I have a e-cycle
    48v. 15.625A &750w capacity hub motor
    M planing to replace my Battery to 48v & 1000w
    Will it be safe for hub motor.

    • @10010Linus
      @10010Linus 2 роки тому

      The watt rating on the battery is more than likely what the manufacturer recommends for a specific kit, if you buy a battery rated for 500w and run a 1000w motor the battery will die, the other way around with a 1000w battery and 500w motor you're going to be 100% fine
      However, if you're gonna upgrade the battery make sure the capacity is bigger than the one you have now and the constant discharge rate of the battery is at least 15 amps
