I've come to the conclusion the Eco-Worthy battery won't be fit for purpose. If the 800w motor is 36v that means a peak discharge of 22.2A would be needed. The Eco-Friendly battery is rated at 10A discharge.
Hi, I'm currently going down this journey and was wondering what Wh or peak discharge current I should be looking at for an Oset 16? It is 36v. I found a Eco-Worthy LiFePO4 12v 10Ah battery that is relatively cheap and has a BMS built into it. Should I look at batteries like this or stick to hobbyking? I'm limited in choice due to being in Australia.
Thanks but we are just talking about $135 (Century Lead Acid) vs $189 (Eco-Worthy Lithium) so the boys can get at least another hour out of the bike. The concern at this stage is more around the $189 lithium battery. For example if it has the power and is built to a high enough quality for the bike.
I've been researching various lithium (LiPo4) battery solutions for the Oset 16. A cheap alternative I found has been this Eco-Worthy brand which are 12v 10Ah. They are the same size as the stock batteries so I will wire in series to get 36v 10Ah.
- On the Eco-Worthy datasheet, what values should I be looking at to ensure the Oset can draw the power required from the batteries? Looking at a total of $189 plus a charger.
- Can I use the standard Oset charger designed for lead acid on the Eco-Worthy lithium as it has a BMS installed?
This is the data sheet on the Century PS 12100 lead acid battery I'm also considering which is very similar to the stock battery. Looking at a total of $135
The Milwaukee battery packs for 2 x 18v 8Ah is $400 plus the cost of the adaptors.
Thoughts? What option did you go with?
I'm located in Australia so I have seen some better options available in the UK and US on this forum.
Hi, I just purchased my first trials bike (2013 Beta Evo) and starting my journey in trials. I'm trying to teach myself about the mechanics of the bike so I can personally take the best care of it.
Upon purchasing the bike the idle was a bit rough. The sound of the bike would fire and give a slight jolt to the bike. The owner said the bike had been sitting a while so the carburetor most likely needed a clean.
I poured the petrol out that was in it and added 98 octane unleaded mixed with Castrol Power 1 TTS racing 2T (70:1 ratio or 71ml to 5L) & Liqui Moly carburetor and valve cleaner (20ml).
As described in the owners manual - EVO 250/300 2T MY13 [2013] I adjusted the idle speed which improved the performance and the jolt I was feeling before. I went to check the Air. The manual states to "From all closed recommend to 11/2 turns" From reading posts on this forum it appears that needs to be 1 to 2 turns with most people set it at 1 1/2 turns. The bad news is I could not find this valve or the screw to adjust the mixture at idling.
Any recommendations on what to look for?
Here is a video of what the bike sounds like after the idle speed adjustment. See how there is a bit of shaking at the back of the bike? Is that normal?
My next issue is that the fuel take valve doesn't shut off petrol. I thought the 20+ seconds would be enough for the engine to die.
