Someone, make it happen!

24s 10A liion charger are available (just googled it like this) - the cable/plugs is no problem. The aliexpress sellers maybe even sell it with two plugs directly on the charger...

Where to find a 10 amp charger for Sherman?

Aliexpress Green Fashion sells a Gotway 10A charger. Pretty massive though. If this is the only option, I would rather go with two 5A chargers instead.

I just purchased next 5A charger. I think, it is recommended to charge Sherman using both ports 2x 5A, not 10A through one port.

Did some searching and apparently you can charge 10amp over a single port. Not sure how accurate that info is.

So anyone have suggestions on a good bluetooth bike speaker that could clamp onto the rollbar?

I would think it should be rugged, waterproof, clamp securely, and hopefully have a subwoofer or be sizable enough to have a little bass, though that last requirement eliminates a lot of contenders.

Just got the Tribit storm box micro.

 

I use it clipped to a backpack but it’s great and can pair 2 for stereo.

Looks nice and portable but I'm looking for something with some more punch and bass. Something along the lines of a UE megaboom... Just don't know how it would mount without making it difficult to lift the wheel... Thought about it somehow being in the middle of the bars but then the handle wouldn't work. 

 

🤔 Hmmm...

You’d be really surprised. Honestly. I know I was.

 

My mother heard me pull into her street - you can really feel the bass.

This is my understanding of the charge port situation as it stands right now:

Batch 1-3 have 2 wires per port, one + one -

Batch 4 (ewheels' tweaked batch) will have 4 wires per port, two + two -

So the chargers you buy will need to have the correct connections or you will have a very expensive fire on your hands. 2 wires is apparently the old-style Gotway port, and 4 wires is the new Gotway standard.

I was looking for something similar; flat sided, so the crash bar could function as a stand.

Use any normal bicycle water bottle holder. Get yourself a UE Boom 3 / JBL Flip5 / Sony SRS-XB23, a lot of cyclist does that.

To charge at 10A from one charger, use a port splitter to make it 5A each.

Cool one, but again with blue and red lights.

I will probably use front light wires with 12V.

True, but at least these don't flash like police lights. Still, I wish both lights were white.

Any online euc dealer should have some. You could buy one from AliExpress etc but you'll need to make sure you have either the 2 wire or 4 wire version according to what batch your wheel is. If it's early, 2, if you're in the eWheels 4th batch you want 4.

Nice light, wish it specified how many amps the USB port could handle. Looking for a 5A/2.1A or QC solution like this port-only attachment:

Light with USB ports has 4 wires.

Angel eyed light delivered yesterday to me, but the value of the light power on the box is different from the value on the website (20W).

I ended up buying the same light just a bit larger. I've already wired it up to a 3.5mm jack. I did order the light with the USB built in and will have to experiment a bit to see how it's wired into the light. I'm going to guess that I can just wire it together with one of the 12v LED wires and it will hopefully output 5v for charging. Seeing as how the power to the lights are controlled by the LCD the USB should only be active when the light is on. I will most likely wire the USB into the daytime running light.

Does your light have wires of the same color? Please describe how you connected the wires to the connector. Thank you.

My wires were Black, Red and Brownish/Orange. The black is your ground and should be soldered to the base or longest leg of the connector. The red soldered to the center leg and the brown/orange to the top or shortest leg.
