    Road Bike Conversion - 130mm OLD - Which kit / motor?

    Hi Everybody, I've been looking at a road bike conversion, but this doesn't seem as straightforward as one might think. My daughter has a Trek Lexa road bike, XS frame size. Thinking that it would help her up the steeper hills around Goudhurst in rural Kent, my son-in-law bought her a...

    Help! Controller - speed or current? Carrera Kraken conversion?

    I have a Lishui speed controller. As I understand it, it gives maximum torque (current) until it reaches a limiting speed according to the "power" level selected, when the current is tailed off by the controller. Hence "speed" controller. I believe a "current" controller limits the current to...

    Help! Erratic controller behaviour - is it a programming issue?

    I have a problem with a Lishui controller. At least, I think it's the controller. The supplier is currently sending a replacement, so I'll know for sure soon. If the old controller is faulty, I'd be keen fix it and use it on another bike. All is fine except that, if you are out of the saddle...

    Help! Motor fault - diagnosis and repair?

    A while ago I purchased a Yose Power kit with what appears (from the markings on it) to be a rebranded Aikema 95RX 250W rear hub motor. The problem was that the motor would surge once it had reached the speed limit for each power setting, with the rpm rising and falling rhythmically. This was...

    Help! Battery and charger compatibility

    Hello, The supplier says that the 42V charger supplied with my 36V conversion kit is correct, because the fully charged voltage would actually be about 42V. Is this normal, or should I expect a 36V charger? I would be really glad to hear from anyone who understands the electrical side...

    Review Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 625

    My first e-bike... generally good but after 500 miles some issues have come to light. IMHO: The saddle position is too far forward, by as much as 25-30m. The standard suspension seat-post has no set-back and the saddle adjustment is limited. To fix this I have had to buy an after-market...

    Review Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 625

    I bought a Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 625 a few months ago, my first e-bike. I'm an experienced cyclist, into long day rides and touring with the panniers on. This is my first e-bike. Overall it's been good, especially the Bosch motor, controller and software, battery life (if used carefully), the...
