Won't that always happen? The system has nicely swapped from 36 to 48 without problem. I guess to get it to swap back I'd have to connect a partially discharged 36v volt. So........ If the full 36 was used first and part discharged, then the full 48 could be used, then after the ride the...

When i bought the recumbent it came with an orrible Dillenger 48v kit - that's gone. Fitted an AKM 128 with a dual voltage KT and lcd5. So I can now use the original underslung 48v battery, but I've also mounted a din rail to take my 36v rack battery. So if using up the 48v (range is not great)...

A rough running motor is very likely to be a dodgy motor connection. If one phase is resistive it can make the motor sound and feel like a bag of nails. It does a really effective impersonation of a mechanical fault. Check the motor plug is fully home, up to the line marked on the barrel...

iirc on my lcd5, C1 set to 07 got my 12 magnet going. I was told I'm a lucky boy though !

Retired copper if I remember correctly.

Perhaps. Main reason is the unfettered printing of currency by all major central banks and governments. The price of gold is reflecting the diminishing purchasing power of dollars/stirling/euro's etc. Too late to buy? It may go down a bit but, unlike the currency it's quoted in, it will NEVER...

That may be the case (not my experience) but the relative replacement cost is way lower, and can be done in the shed.

Any electrically assisted bike gives you the feeling of having borrowed a professional cyclist's legs. It does not, however, do all the work for you. It is an assistance only. You still get a work out as myself and many here will attest, especially when hill climbing is invovled. Adding a kit...

Rear hub, something like an AKM100, 2.1Kg. Kt controller with LCD3. Display can sit on your handlebars with the control buttons right next to your fingers so you can turn assist on and off as you please. Pas sensor to suit your bike. Brake switches optional but do allow to ride with assist...

Finally got my roundtuit out and started stripping the cells apart. Peeling off the nickel strips is leaving little raised bumps which I'm knocking down with gentle taps from a flat punch. They are Samsung SD1's and are coming out with a respectable 3.9v on them. This after around 3 years on...

I would be very wary of switch kits. There have been many problems reported on this forum, Their waiting times, after paying for it, seem ridiculously long and their customer service, in the case of faulty equipment, almost none existant. The front hub motors that Saneagle mentions are...

Driving in rural areas at night is a nightmare. The problem is not only led headlights but also led running lights. Add to this drivers insistance on using bumper mounted lights, that are only meant to be used in daylight fog, and you are faced with an oncoming wall of bright blue/white light...

If you are using to commute, I would say none of the above. They are all locked in systems. If anything goes amiss with the electrics you are reliant on the dealer you bought it from because no one else will touch it. They are all a high priced purchases with obvious branding on them making...

A very nice indian lady phoned me the other day to make appointment to fit a smart meter. I pointed out that my house has 3ft thick stone walls in an area of intermittant mobile signal. It was obvious that the import of this information was lost on her. So I explained why and asked to be...

It's been happening since Nixon 'closed the gold window' in 1972. This removed all discipline from governments and they've been on a printing spree since.

Was that Charles getting a takeaway bought in?

That's because there was a statement from the minister of transport some time ago (Flecc will know exactly) saying that a bike could be ridden on the pavement if the rider felt in danger from the traffic on the road. This leaves the police with a problem because there is no way of quantifying...

Woosh will supply you with a complete kit that is plug and play with excellant back up service. I recently bought one from Topbikekit. Here though you have to select components to make up your kit, so takes a little more thinking about. However it all arrived as ordered and in timely fashion...

My advice would be to send it back. Even if it is legal to run this in your country of residence (certainly is not in the UK), with a top speed quoted as 58mph, this is a very dangerous kit to put on a bicycle. Anything that has a no load speed of 18mph in setting one is going to be brutal no...

Your controller is certainly inside the front part of the battery housing. If you slide the battery out it's in the bit that's left behind. It will be tight in there, with all the connectors, but there will be air around the controller making it difficult to measure temperature from the...
