    Bafang Rear Hub Motor Questions

    How much power that comes from the battery depends on how fast you're going. You only get the maximum allowed current when the motor is turning slowly. As the motor speeds up, the current goes down until it reaches zero at max RPM.

    Assist cuts out occasionally

    You need to eliminate the posibility that the controller is over-heating before anything, whichever way you are able to check it. It sits in the compartment at the front of the battery if you have a rack battery and used the compartment provided. Who did the conversion? They should know where...

    Assist cuts out occasionally

    In that case It's probable that your controller is over-heating and the thermal cut-out is activating. If you can, have a feel of the controller after cut-out to see how hot it is. There are three potential solutions to overheating, but do the test first because everything below will be moot if...

    Assist cuts out occasionally

    If the battery was knackered, you should see the battery sag down on the LCD before switching off. The LCD would definitely switch itself off, but you say it stays on. I'd say that the first thing to check is the motor connector. make sure that it's pushed together ALL THE WAY TO THE MARKED...

    Heartbroken family pay tribute to teen 'who loved going out with mates' after e-bike crash

    Whatever we do on this forum has nothing to do with three underage kids crashing a motorbike that they're riding illegally, just like it has nothing to do with people that drive over 30mph in a 30 mph limited are or over 70 mph on a motorway.

    Heartbroken family pay tribute to teen 'who loved going out with mates' after e-bike crash

    DYU D3F has cruise mode. The throttle engages cruise after you hold it constant for 8 seconds. He got to the end of his street, rolled back the throttle, and it carried on at max speed, taking him by surprise. Yes, he could have used the brakes, but was probably panicking when the bike had a...

    Heartbroken family pay tribute to teen 'who loved going out with mates' after e-bike crash

    Many good points there. My first thought was about who bought that bike for the kids , who died. Like the other two kids, who died in the supposed police chase not long ago, there's a good chance that the kids are drugs mules and their "benevolent uncle" was their handler.

    Brake upgrade. Mechanical or hydraulic

    You can get good used branded hydraulic brakes from Ebay for less than £40 a pair. I don't think you should worry too much about what type. I'm 100kg and have never found any hydraulic brakes lacking in any way, and I often go well over 40 mph on the many steep hills we have where I ride. You...

    Heartbroken family pay tribute to teen 'who loved going out with mates' after e-bike crash

    Same old same old shite! Kids crash motorbikes every day, both legally and illegally. What's that got to do with us? An electric Jaguar drove into some cars by itself. It has the word "electric" in its description. Which "electric" bicycles do we need to ban next, and do we need to lock our...

    In that case you should be banned, as you have been promoting your illegal bike.

    Display replacement problem!

    It's a shame the £90 has already been wasted. It could have gone a long way to make your bike much better. First, answer my questions above because there might be a simple solution.

    Battery dies quickly, next stop scrappy ?

    You have two choices: Open it to diagnose and fix it or chuck it. There isn't much you can do from the outside. There is nothing on the inside that can zap you.

    Display replacement problem!

    In 14 years of working with every type of ebike, I have never heard of a control panel (display) that can work with three wires. As a minimum, you need two to power it and one to tell the controller your power setting. All the ones I've seen have a wire to power the controller when you switch...

    Error code 532 and 602

    602 is charging error caused system shutdown. 532 isn't listed in my manual, but 531 is mainly comms and configuration errors. I'd say something has gone wrong with your controller - maybe water got in. The error code isn't the full story. The diagnostics give an additional code with more...

    wisper strange battery issue!

    They're not Samsung batteries, they're batteries with Samsung cells. It's easy to check what's wrong and probably easy to fix. All you need is a screwdriver and a £5 meter - plus the will to learn something.
