    Help Loss of power

    No light(s) indicate battery strength? If so then is likely the controller? Or fault within the battery, check battery, multimeter or via charger? Hope that helps.

    Motor or controller fault pls help??

    Reads like you've dropped a phase from the out-put of the controller. This could be a hub issue? Install the controller on another bike, if it works then your hub is the issue, if not then most probable its the controller.

    Wisper 836 FE

    Just got 43miles round Scottish glens, plenty big inclines all on 36v 750w 20ah lifepo4, 20" alloy folder. Throttle took just enough of the bite from the legs, excellent day out. Should include the rucksack and waterproofs, spares, fair load and no complaints.

    Voltage query

    One reason for the choice of voltages 200w allow those who have already a battery fit the motor.

    Prevent Sparks when connecting ping

    If short (get it?) of funds could try engaging the brake, if that is your brakes disconnect the motor controller. Possible controller caps (capacitors) are absorbing voltage, this in-rush creates a spark on the neutral? Satis melt connector contacts. Best solution is a switch, quality one should...
