A reliable internet connection is also required for the smartphones that act as controllers, but even so, there might be some lag between the inputs and the reaction of the game, seeing how all the commands are sent via the internet and not on a local network.

I am rebuilding an older DIY conversion and not to confident about how it was originally wired up. 1 Purple KSI has a 16 AWG cable spliced to it, but it was not connected to anything! Diagram has it connected via a key switch from B+. What is the source B+ and what is this cable normally connected to?

Purpose-built electric bikes and e-bike conversions using hub-motors are now commonplace. That got me thinking, how hard would it be, and how much would it cost, to do a simple conversion now?

Hi, I have 2 controllers, I need to get the 1253-8001 working for my conversion build. I can connect and read/change config settings fine. But the same cable/software won't connect to the 1253-8001. I created a frankenstein serial cable and it works fine with the 1205M-5601. Any ideas? I'm scratching my head here.

My professional life has kept me busy, but I still have made good progress on my conversion. For tachometer, I will be using a sensor ring on the second shaft end of the motor connected to a new instrument. First, someone on the forums has offered to sell an adapter from one of their former conversions. I have yet to see photos.

As the cost of an electric bike conversion kit in comparison to a new electric cycle is half approx & not too tough to assemble, if you have time & little bit of idea about installation you have to go with an e bike conversion kit.

Well I'm finally going to get around to installing a WarP-Drive 160/1000 motor controller package in our 97 S10 EV conversion. Our EV Solutions 97 S10 EV conversion was originally completed in the Spring of 2007. The WarP-Drive Interface Unit easily connects to the controller though the CAN bus using a common Cat5 network cable.

On the way there, I made a pit stop at a gas station to buy a bottle of champagne as a gift, hoping to start out a conversation with a stranger on the right foot. There are also videos on Youtube where people change the pack the DIY way or the individual modules, but be aware to only buy individual modules from a trusted source.

Hi all, I'm a serious newbie, and am embarking on my first ev conversion (of a very tired old Triumph Spitfire) here in the UK. Can anyone explain to me in simple terms why most conversions keep the gearbox and use an adapter plate to bolt on the electric motor ? I get that it's probably simpler for alignment etc.,

Dimitri, a buddy of mine from Florida who is working on his second conversion, ask what my plans were for balancing, but I had none. They simply need to be connected to each cell only. Dimitri and Jim have ordered their DIY kits and will hopefully have them up and running soon. Here is a picture of a completed cell balancer.

Imagine the Siri voice or the Alexa voice; it’s like that, but rather than being an AI that you’re having a conversation with, it moves all the functionality of the computer from the mouse. You would use the app and it would connect you with a sighted volunteer who could then see what’s on your phone’s camera. That’s the one you want.”
