thx for the reply
did you disasemble your yw bats ?
how are you putting 4 bats on your bike?

i ran 2 in the orig place last year then returned them and got my cash back....lol
this year i'll run 6 or 8 adding the other 4 or 6 in a triangle frame bag that looks
it will fit in the izip triangle perfect and has a key switch all for like 50 bucks
like you siezetech i was going to spit for a hub but have seen the value of
these bikes and will pick up another one and keep my 4200km one for parts
call it piece of mind having those spare parts
i will leave it as my winter ride as it has studded tires on it already
for 350 i can't resist even though i long for a 5305@100+ volts

I put 2 yws batteries into a schwinn pack, and I've duct tape the other 2 yws batteries so the fit in a rear carrier.

I didn't complete disassemble them, I kept the original cases on them but when I disassembled them to solder the wires into place, I left all the extra/useless plastic parts and aluminum parts off the case.

I have 1 pack that is tripping on me, and it won't recharge. I hope it isn't damaged because I chose not to wire them up with the diodes like the one guy on the endless-sphere website that you posted. Worst case, i'll gut the good cells out of it, figure out what to do with them.

I made a visit at my local CT and they have the three new models on display.

On the new ebike I've seen the connector and it appeared to be the round three prong type usually seen on most ebikes. It is not the same plug, (rectangular three prong), that comes with last year's Schwinn.

I think that is an "XLR" connector. It's common on microphones. It's actually a pretty good choice for an ebike. Where else can you find a relative cheap and strong connector for a few bucks that is proprietary enough to discourage people from plugging into 125V?

Looks like the one on the right of this adapter from Currie.

I can't see enough detail on that photo, but here's a link to a wiki for XLR connectors:

Cheers Tom, welcome to Bike Forums.

He's referring to the first sticky thread in the Electric Bikes forum - the one about batteries.

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...-for-batteries

#35 refers to the post number 35 within that thread. Depending on how you have the thread display set up, you'll find that post somewhere in page 2-3 of that thread.
