Popular Post esaj Posted June 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I grabbed all the KS16 pictures showing teardowns, the shell & as much of the innards as I could find, but couldn't find the picture of the mainboard (I think it was posted somewhere this spring?). Edit: Found it. The forum really needs an image search-functionality The actual reason I was looking at these is that I'm trying to figure out whether it's possible to cram two separate 16S1P-battery packs on each side (they both have something like about 9mm thick heatsink-plated BMSs). Oh right, copyrights of the images belong to their respective owners etc. etc., but I'm assuming it's ok to post them collected here, as they were already posted openly on the forums anyway.

I'd assume yes - but @Blunzncould look at the exact measures (shortly?). Don't know if he already changed the offroad tire back to the normal one... But he now ordered already a new offroad tire and will try it, as soon as it arrives-so at least then he could give you precise measures... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunzn Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 havent found the mad mike on stock ... so i ordered it and it'll take some days. probably wednesday. you have on both sides this small compartment where the speakers are located. if you remove them there should be quite some space, but one one side the motor cable runs through it, not sure if you can cram the motor plug further up in the mainboard area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the packs usually used in KS16 have "offset-packing": So there should be some wiggle room "sideways" (back-to-front from the "wheel perspective"). That should be enough to run cabling on the side, as I have separate 16S1P-packs, but I'm mostly worried whether the "depth" of the compartments is enough (sideways from the "wheel perspective"). Here's a bad picture of what I mean (not to scale, probably): The black circles are the cells, red rectangles are the BMSs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blunzn Posted June 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2016 haven't removed the battery but it's appx 15,7 cm x 13,6 cm and 3,8 - 4 cm. (modified Battery from 1Radwerkstatt) the last pic of the motorcable (in your first post) seems to be from the prototype (led battery display). the position of the motorcable is the red dotted line the maximum height of the battery compartment seems to be 4,2 cm, but probably a bit less on the sides through the curvature of the footpad if you remove the speaker and speakermount you get an additional space of 4,3 x 13,4 x 2cm height. found a pic with the motor cable&plug, maye you can stuff the plug inside the motherboard area 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Y Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Was thinking a few things 1. Upgrade the white LEDs 2. Add usb charging port 3. Upgrade speakers... any body try this yet? Edited August 5, 2016 by Maestro72x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Håvard Hamran Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hey, I got my brand new KS 16 840Wh yesterday, and I've been thinking about adding some mods.. As Maestro suggests, an added USB 2,1A charge port, with -proper- electronics, would be great. Also, after reading the thread about the UK based Uniwheel, which has an easily accessible fuse inside the side hatch, that can be removed to completely isolate the battery from the rest of the electronics. I was thinking about adding a key switch, both as security, but also to cut off the battery. Would this be enough to satisfy airport security, or do i need to physically disconnect it?

Adding the battery "cut off" switch would be a bit tricky as it would need to withstand the high current and voltage. It would though not help to allow you carry or even check in the wheel as the issue is with the large battery itself independent if it's present in / connected to the wheel or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
