    new controller and lcd anyone got one of these?

    Like it. How do you find those indicators in sunlight, I have some but thought they might not be bright enough in sun to be seen.

    Need Stronger wheel / spokes

    Neil5403 I assume you are talking here about the Crosstrail fitted with Q128 48v 201 rpm motor. If so I think all the Q128 motors are 36 hole and not 32 as you say. Are you using 12g spokes or 14g. You say all spokes have broken near the hub and I wonder if 14g spokes have been used which are...

    EV4 Electric bikes.

    I have been to Goa a few times and drivers of all vehicles seem to think it is their duty to pass the one in front of them despite it possibly going faster than they are and with no regard to what is approaching from the other direction, as long as they have sounded their horn they will go for...

    EV4 Electric bikes.

    I have to agree the seat on the semi-recumbent does not look as if it would be any good for me. I would be petrified to ride a full recumbent in my area, even riding a normal bike car drivers pretend I don't exist, ignore hand signals and cut me up despite hi-viz and a flag. Being that low I...

    I have a balance problem ( old age 65 ) that comes ang goes and also a spinal problem ( from age ten ). I already have two e-bikes, one a full susp mountain bike and the other a trike with no suspension. Riding the mtb is fine most of the time but if I get a balance problem while out on it can...

    EV4 Electric bikes.

    Been looking at the EV4 range of e bikes. Particularly the Bike and Semi- Recumbant as they are the only ones to conform to uk law for roaduse. Made in Poland by an aircraft company, they appear to be well made if not a little quirky. Does anyone here have experience of the bikes or actually...

    Advice on a 48v charger.

    I have now built a new battery using Samsung 30Q cells. 13S-6P 48V 18Ah and need advice on a suitable charger please. I brought one from PSW Power ( 54.6V at 2A ) but it is only rated for up to 11Ah packs. It has charged my new pack but it does get quite warm and I wonder if I should be...

    E-Trike now running.

    Yes it does spin the drive wheel on soft ground if I give it to much juice on take off. A job for the future is to make a differential so both rear wheels can be driven and also fit outboard disc brakes on both wheels.

    E-Trike now running.

    Hi guys. Well, with thanks to all of you who gave advice on what parts to use my trike is now electrified. Have only done a few miles so far but pulls like a train. Q128H motor driving through chain to rear axle. 20A sine wave controller, 36V battery from my other bike at the moment, but am...

    UM 44 rear wheel motor

    One word of caution if replacing the hub motor. I have a UM20 and the rear dropouts are 165mm wide. Check the width of yours before buying a replacement motor as most are 135 or 145mm wide.

    48v battery charger .

    Just waiting for battery kits ordered from Vruzend and going to build 48v battery using 30Q cells 13s 6p with bms. Now looking for a good charger to use with this pack. I like the idea of the Sataitor as it has option of charging to less than full capacity but the price, nearly as much as the...

    Electric bike connectors.

    After reading through very many posts in the various forum sections I regularly see reference made to the different types of connectors used. I find it very confusing when reading a post that mentions a particular connector, and then having to Google the name or number to try and find what it...

    Ordering from BMS

    Thanks for replies. Now see that 48v Q128H are not available at present only 36v listed. I will try registering with BMS out of interest to see if it does change shipping costs. Any saving has to be worthwhile.

    Ordering from BMS

    Just wondering what you people buy when you get motors from BMS. Do you just get the bare motor or ready built wheels. I am about to send an order for two Q128 and see that shipping costs are £244 for 2 built wheels and £77 for 2 bare hub motors so it seems to make sence to me to build the...

    Looking for a tricycle to fit bbs02 kit to.

    Unfortunately BMS only list the Q128H as a rear fitment, no good for a trike. If I got the Q128 36v 400/500W kit which lists the controller as universal 36 or 48V 450W and ran it from 48 volt would that work or would I need to get a higher wattage controller, and would it also be a benefit to...
