    LCD3 Speedometer unstable at higher speed with external sensor.

    I've seen this on three LCD installs, Normally I ignore it, but I'd like to fix it. At slow speeds. up to about 12-14 mph, the speedometer is steady. ABove 16 mph, it starts flashing between 15 and 30 mph, and is unreadable under acceleration. When back in coasting mode, the speedometer settles...

    Copying KT LCD3 parameters

    Broke my LCD3, but I have a spare. Will the parameter copy transfer the odometer readings to the new display? Hate to lose that number.

    TSDZ2 Conversion

    My wife used to ride a red Raleigh Drop Bar Mixte in the late 70's. Sadly, we got rid of it, but I came across this blue one in 2021. It's been finally updated with a 500W TSDZ2 that I purchased in 2019. I never installed the Tong Sheng motor, because I heard it was underpowered. and I had...

    TSDZ2 with tiny batteries?

    I've mounted up my 500W 48V TSDZ2 on a light 10 speed bike, but have yet to power it up. I have bigger packs to test it, but want to run on a 26 cell 7AH pack, maybe even a 13 cell (21700) 5AH pack, both in water bottles. What minimum current will I need? Mostly pedal assist at 12-14 mph on...

    Torque spec ; 12x10 axles

    I've always done it by feel with a 17mm or 18 mm wrench about 10 inch long. The other day I found my 3/8" clicker torque wrench, so I decided to torque the nuts on a 500W Bafang in a steel fork. What's a good number for a 500W motor? I'm using 40nm here. Seems kind of high. My other bikes...

    Brainpower 866C-6 controller

    Simply put. learn mode is flakey. It almost seemed like the connectors were intermittent. Power up and nothing happens. AFter a few tries, it always spins backward. Then I break the connection, make it again, and it spins forward, but so slow, like 1-2 rpm. Sometimes, if I let it spin, it will...

    Motors jerks at 14 mph with sine wave controllers

    I tried this with two different motors. Both jerk around 15 mph under throttle, the speed drops to 13. From there, it will accelerate again and not do another further jerking unless I stop it and restart. It seems to be associated with both my KT 20A and 25A sine wave controllers. It doesn't...

    AKM100

    We own three 20" bikes with the Q100H 260 rpm motors from BMS battery, All powered with 20A KT 6-FET controllers (two are sinewave), I built a fourth one this year, using an AKM100 from topbikekit..I pulled out an old BMS Battery P06 17A square wave controller to run it, but it would stall on...

    Error 06 on KT-controller

    PSWpower 20A sinewave model. I've had an occasional Error 06 when powering it up in the morning. Shaking the connector bundle on the controller, and wiggling the 9 pin Julet connector to the motor always cleared it. Last night, I happened to look down and see the controller registering over...

    KT LCD3:L1-L3 parameters?

    Not that I want to change them, but I got there accidentally by pressing up/down together for two seconds at the C14 parameter, thinking that would exit the C menu. There are three L1,L2, L3. I got out of there by powering down the battery. I don't think I changed them, Hope not anyway. As I...

    PSWpower 20A Sine Wave Controller

    I am running a newly purchased unit with a geared no name (well they're all no name) motor where I know nothing about its gearing or the number of magnets.Hence P1 setting is guesswork. What I've noticed is that the speed is accurate when coasting. Under acceleration, the display jumps between...

    SW900 LCD

    You UK guys might know more about this display. I have used KT controllers and know how to wire in a speed sensor. The controller that came with the SW900 doesn't have a separate connector for speedometer. It doesn't show the speed when coasting. Might be a setup issue, but I think it needs a...

    TSD-Z2 optioning question

    PSWpower lists TS-QD197 and TS-WD215 as options under the "Right" category. What are they, please? Am again considering the 36V 350W kit for a light weight bike. I would get a throttle because I am used to having them, although my riding style is pedal assist.

    Phoebe 36V/48V Controller with learning wire

    I recently bought this controller off aliexpress. I was attracted by the price, $45 USD, and that the different models supported 36V and 48V with an LCD. I bought their 48V 350W model. Shipped to the USA in about 10 days...
