I had a nice experience with BTN and Kevin. They claim to ship within 3 days on their website. That does not hold true. It was more like a week. But their chat system works well and Kevin assured me that my order was being processed. My kit was held up in Customs for a little over a week (Not...

I got one of these sensors as part of a kit bought from Kevin at Aliexpress. It seemed like an easy way to work around the problem of fitting the brake cutoffs when you have integrated brake and gearchange controls. The kit consists of an 8fun SWXK 36V250W 205R motor in a 700C rim...

The other day my Bafang 250W front motor from Sunlova started to emit some ugly sounding knocking noises. This has happened a couple of times before when the detachable power connector from the control box to the front wheel has been pulled nearly apart. That can happen when the handlebars turn...
