Replace with a good MC and install 20 Nissan Leaf modules and you have the best EV scooter on the market.

After a few test drives the Biro’s left wheel started to make a cracking sound from the outside. As I assumed it was the bearing I decided to take the wheelmotor apart as the bearing seemed to be replacable.

Luckily it was a generic part and easy to buy locally for €8,50 each, but ...

Interesting.
How do you drive the speedometer as this signal did come from the Kolektor originally ?

Added the batteries today, 16 Leaf modules fit in nicely. Might consider seperating two modules for a seperate 14V system and keep 14 modules in series to reuse the oem charger at 58V

The wiring to the SevCon under the seat was a little messy. The crimped pins inside the 35pin AMP connectors were not done properly with the special (and expensive) AMP crimping tool and causing unexpected behaviour.

So I took out all the wiring and rewired the minimal wires ...

That looks like the ultimate mobility unit for those that have difficulty getting around. Looking forward to seeing it's revival story

My daughter thinks that I'm looking more and more like a retard with first driving in a Th!nk and now this.... :-)
Wait until I have tickled the SevCon ...

Pics or it didn't happen...

Yeah.. time for a new project :-)

I found an abondened project for sale, it is a 2013 Estrima Biro 45/60 kmh city vehicle.

Story was that it got stranded in 2014 in Norway after just 450km from new with a broken controller by the first owner.

Bought buy someone in Norway with ...

I will drop two in the mail for you today. Should arrive in 3 or 4 days

I finally decided to put some TLC to my next project which has been gathering dust for ..say about 3 or 4 years.... :-)
This project is focussing on making a drop-in replacement Vectrix VX1 motorcontroller using as many of the OEM controller parts or better/cheaper parts together with the ...

Can you tell me more about that ? I believed the 40kWh where as of the same 'quality' as the 24kWh ?

I'm looking for 10 or 20 or a complete pack of Leaf 40kWh modules.
Prefer EU mainland delivery/pickup but from the UK is possible if that is the only option.

Well my eyes are not as good as before for manual assembly... and i observed JLCPCB doesnt provide LT chips and isolators as far as i know. Do you send your chips to them?

Yes I still have these 12S

Yes its a Gen2 11kW 3-phase EU version charger.
The controlboard is v3

I'm asking 950 for it

I have a Tesla Gen2 charger for sale, complete with open source controller (EVBMW v2.3) board.
Never used it and probably never will regarding the higher startup voltage (>150V)

Located in NL.

I have a bunch of Leaf/EV200 busbars that I'm about the recycle (cut the copper out of them).
If anyone is interested in something let me know.

They (Shell) just recently opened an new hydrogen station next to the highway exit on the A15 in The Netherlands. In fact they are still working on it and it is not fully finished yet. But the white hydrogen 'rocket' is clearly visible and trucks are pumping something (I guess diesel actually). Not ...

I think I have one, it is an Elcon something... setup for 120ish volts but can be adapted. Let me know if you are interested. I'm travelling to the UK next week so can bring along if wanted.

I have several Leaf BMS with wiring loom, contactorbox etc. What do you need ?

I have loads of Leaf stuff that I will never use again, but it is located in Europe....

I'm currently working (still...) on my S2a project car and still not convinced to do an EV conversion or not....
