Hi. Still (slowly) working on getting a swytch wheel to work with this Lishui 17A controller. Still dogged by the error 9. Everything performs ok (brakes, pas, throttle, etc.). The only thing that doesn’t yet work is the speed sensing. Either the controller is faulty or it just doesn’t like a...

Hi all. I think I’ve figured out all of the settings available in the C500 display - except one. In Advanced settings, what is the setting for that is called Speed Sensor Setting (SPs) in the manual? I’ve got two available possibilities - either 1 or 6. Neither setting seems to have any...

Hi. In my “bag of bits” I have a Swytch front wheel, and also from a different source, a Yose(Lishui) controller (photo attached) with a C500 display. Do I have any chance of marrying these together - considering that there doesn’t appear to be any settings on the C500 for wheel parameters...

Hi all. I’m trying to find another mounting rail for my Yose 15.6Ahr battery pack - so that I can mount it on either of my two bikes. There seems to be some “synergy” between Yose and Hailong when I look at the adverts. Do Yose use Hailong mountings? Anyone know ther best place for me to look...

Hi all. I think I know what the answer will be, but I’ll ask anyway! I’ve bought a Yose 36v 15.4Ah down-tube battery pack. It comes with a lock and keys to stop it being easily removed from the bike. My question is, how unique are these keys? Does everyone with a Yose battery pack have the same...

Hi all. I’ve been mulling over selling a couple of Swytch Max batteries now I’ve moved onto bigger battery packs. The obvious choice for me is putting them on ebay. The problem comes in what to offer regarding postage, as Collection Only is rather limiting when looking for a big audience. The...

I hope it’s understood by members that we all post in good faith, and that what we are posting is sound and useful, and not liable to damage or endanger. Ultimately though it has to be down to users to check what has been said thoroughly before proceeding. We have seen a case recently where I...

Hi. Quite chuffed with the result. I can’t justify a 3d printer so I used silicon mould compound, and resin for the actual item. The each of the four spades are two 4.8 spades back-to-back (to give the thickness). I wanted some of the special plugs that swytch use to connect to their gen 3...

Hi. i’ve been mulling over using my Makita batteries to power the bike for a bit of fun, so here’s the result. Four makita 5.0Ahr packs in series/parallel, hopefully giving something near 10Ahr at 36V. It weighs just over 3kg, and cost about £250 all-in - although I already had the batteries. A...

If Swytch gen 3 users want to retain there front handlebar battery holder to leverage their investment in their Swytch battery packs, then unfortunately fitting a KT controller in the handlebar module that the current Lishui controller lives in, would seem difficult/impossible! Attached is a...

Not exactly bikes, but associated. my wife trails behind when we go riding. It would be nice to be able to say “Everything ok?” or “Nice Autumn colours!”, but she wouldn’t hear me. I saw a couple cycling the other day that seemed to have two-way communication, and were chatting as they cycled...

Hi. I’m wondering where the settings are typically held when you set them on the display. I would expect them to be stored in the actual controller, but it’s possible to have them stored in the display unit I guess. Can someone tell me - thanks!

For a really good battery charger you’d probably pay c.£50. There’s a lot of chargers available on ebay and it might be tempting to risk buying one, but what would you be getting? I bought a 42v charger off of ebay for £6.99 to see what was “in the box” (photos attached). What I got is a...

Hi all. Does anyone have a view on these discharge converters you see on Aliexpress or ebay? They say it will allow you to connect two or three battery packs at the same time, but none of them actually clarify what technology they are using to achieve this. Are they just blocking diode packs, or...

Not to everyone’s taste, but I’ve now got a handlebar switch that turns off the PAS sensor. I find that the motor kicks in when I just want to turn the pedals for stability, and also my help-needs are more subtle than a basic help setting on the display. This also allows me to jump easily...

My wife took a little tumble while we were out riding (motorist not giving any room). Her spare Swytch pack was in her pannier and may have taken a hit, so I’m thinking that it needs more protection - although to be fair, the Swytch pack is looks very rugged. Just bought two padded zip-up cases...

Hi all. I don’t like owning anything “technical” without knowing how it works. My Swytch batteries are maximum 42v fully-charged, 30v discharged. This leads me to believe I’ve got a chain (or multiple chains) of 10 cells in series. When I used to to RC models the battery packs had balancing...

I’m at the stage where I would like to standardise on a specific connector for my various 36v packs (Swytch/Makita/whatever). Attributes I can think of, are high current, polarity sensitive, waterproof, and safe. I’m considering the Amass Deans T connector which is rated at 36A. Is that a good...

I’ve got a lot of Lithium batteries. My power tools have them, some household appliances have them, and now our bikes have them. I don’t use them all the time and especially over winter months a few get ignored for a while - to their detriment. I’m loath to spend time once a month going round...

Disclaimer - you mess around with these battery packs at your own risk - what follows are my own observations that may or may not be fact! On the yellow connector on the battery: - the two centre connections (O and D shaped) are charging input only. There is circuitry before the actual battery...
