Got it. Thank you.

I can't check without taking out the controller and battery from the frame. The shop that built the bike for me made the wires in the controller inaccessible but I am 99% sure it does have a blue loop connector as shown in the figure below (not my figure, found it on another thread here)...

I have an e-bike with the KT-LCD3 meter. I tried to disable cruise control by setting C7 to 0 but it doesn't work. C7 is set at 0 but cruise control still kicks in. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks

Thanks. I edited the original post.

My controller is probably at the end of its life and I might have to replace the rear wheel hub motor too. Could you recommend another conversion kit that has the same spec as my old one? My current kit has a 1500w hub motor, a 60v sinewave controller (model KT60SVPRK-SLS02G) and a ~1KW battery...

Looks great. Get a couple of oars and you can sail it down Thames. :-p

I should have clarified that I wouldn't even consider doing 50mph or even 40mph on public roads, especially during my daily commute but I'd like to have the speed/power available to use once in a blue moon. @tommie That's a very attractive solution. A BBSHD 1000w kit to max out at 40-45mph...

You lost me there. I think I better find a kit that includes the battery, controller and motor so I know they match. So far, I have had some nice suggestions for people on this forum. bikes.ca seems legit so does EMV

It all sounds a lot more complicated than I thought originally. And I can't find anyone who does conversion/custom e-bikes for a fee.

@danielrlee I found these online. 3000w MXUS Rear hub motor : 380 EUR 72v/25AH Battery pack : 650 GBP Am I missing something? How did you get to £3000? Plus the battery above is triangular and can probably fit in the frame of a standard MTB (which I buy new from Halfords for around £500)

@danielrlee In regards to top speed and range, the more the better. I read somewhere that a 3000w MXUS coupled with a 72v sinewave controller and a large battery pack (say 72v 20ah) can reach even 50mph and have decent range (at lower speeds). I looked into crank drive motors (BaFang...

@d8veh OK, I will go bother them. :-p £1000 for a battery? Sounds steep. What capacity is it? I have seen these bikes where the battery and controller are attached to the frame, between the rider's thighs.

@RobF If I wanted a petrol motorbike, I wouldn't have posted here.

@danielrlee I could go as high as a little over 1K (GBP) EDIT: 1K for the battery, motor and controller.

I am considering building my first e-bike (MTB) and was looking for advice on what kit to get and from where. The bike is strictly for off-road usage on privately owned land so speed limit is not an issue. From what I have read, I could get a 3000w motor (maybe the MXUS hub motor) with a 80v...
