    Throttle wires different colours

    I have replaced my full bar throttle with a half bar version (both Wuxing) - so that I can fit a mirror without losing hand grip width. I had original wires of red white and black and the new throttle had purple grey and black. After a lot of googling, I managed to find this thread where...

    Battery cutting out.

    Thanks to Nealh, who kindly took my battery apart and checked it. He didn't find anything untoward, apart from 2 cell groups slightly out of balance. He rebalanced them manually and also ascertained that the BMS does indeed have a temperature sensor. Since having the battery back, I've done a...

    Battery cutting out.

    Thanks for that. I've pulled out the ignition and lock, waggled everything around and can't get the fault to occur again, so it's probably not that.

    Battery cutting out.

    If this battery has the Enerpower BMS, then I believe it has a temperature sensor. The circumstances have varied. The first time it happened we were riding to a nearby town to pick up an order for some car parts, we had probably covered about 5 miles (battery fully charged) and I was cruising...

    Battery cutting out.

    I have a 13A 36v Silverfish battery that I bought from Enerpower.de about 30 months ago. The battery has been good, but has recently started cutting out, with the bike losing all power. Sometimes it is possible to turn the power back on after a few minutes, but yesterday (in very high...

    New battery faulty?

    Thanks d8vh for that very clear explanation. Thanks to Nealh too. So, based on what I have learned from you and what I have observed, I have come to these conclusions: 1. When the battery arrived, the cells were either out of balance or had not yet reached their full potential. 2. I have...

    New battery faulty?

    That statement that "36v is still half full" was incredibly useful. I hadn't recharged the battery after the last ride, when it was at just under 37v and showing 1 to 2 lights on the bike display. So, on Wednesday, I strapped my old battery on to the luggage rack (as backup) and made another...

    New battery faulty?

    I generally only use the throttle when I need to make a fast getaway - I have a couple of busy roads to get across. However, in pedelec mode I normally have it on the top assist setting. But I have been riding that way with a 4.5 year old 10ah battery and this new battery isn't giving me much...

    New battery faulty?

    Hello, long time lurker here. About 18 months ago I bought a second hand Pro Rider e-Wayfarer folding bike, which was originally bought in April 2013. It had a 36v 10ah Phylion battery, which was giving me about 13/14 miles (depending on terrain, weather and how I rode it) More recently it...
