    48v battery fully discharged voltage?

    This has probably been posted elsewhere but can't find anything. 48v 20ah battery on my bike - 54.6v fully charged, but what voltage should it read when it's flat? At 48.8v it's still showing 3 out of 4 bars on the LCD screen after 10 miles doing 30mph

    How many torque arms

    Sorry to drag up an older thread again, but my left axle nut keeps working itself loose after only a mile, would a torque arm stop this do you think? I have one being delivered this week

    Ahh I see, fair amount of time off! I'll send a message and see what happens. They were no use whatsoever when I queried about the connectors. The listing stated that it would come with 4 different types of connectors for me to choose, yet it only came with the Andersons. I asked about this and...

    FOUND IT. Right on the battery. Brilliant. The way it sits in the bag there's a metal ring to let the wires come out of the bag - it's very sharp inside and it presses on the back of the bike frame. It's cut through the cable so the two pos and neg have been making contact. I've barely done...

    This is the the battery to controller set up. The battery came with the + & - Anderson connectors on the top right, so used crimping connectors (blue) to connect to the wiring that came with the controller - a yellow xt60 connector then the fuse. Is this not a good way to go?

    No I'm not using the frame for an earth, I meant if any exposed wires were coming into contact with the frame would that would be the cause of sparking. This is the fuse and holder, does look to be an automotive type. 40amp fuse. This is the controller bag which I've tried to keep the...

    Also, it hasn't blown the fuse either that's still intact

    I'm having some electrical trouble with the bike. Obviously it cut out on first test drive; I inspected and wriggled the wiring around in the bag and that brought the power back on fine. Then as I wheeled it out the door, as the back wheel dropped off the step to the ground, something in the...

    Ah that's just reminded me about mirrors, it's on the list - thanks for that! :) Do you/anyone else here know where's best to order some torque arms from? Yeah the battery seems pretty decent, and is lighter than I was expecting too. The bag didn't take long to rip though as it's quite thin

    Hey everyone, Surprised at the amount of replies received already! I haven't got torque arms, will have to look into sorting some ASAP if this is the case, thanks for letting me know! On the legality side of things; I was aware of the law with e bikes before purchasing my set up, however the...

    Hi all, Already a pretty keen cyclist I am however new to the world of electric bikes due to being banned from driving. I decided this would be the best way of getting around for a while, what with living in a rural area. This week I have taken delivery of my new 1500w rear hub motor...
