Yeah, I miss him! I seem to remember that he was widely disliked on Pedelecs, but brightened up this forum with his unique brand of humour.

It contains two hall sensors. All the rotational logic is handled internally and the signal is output through a single wire.

I can confirm that the KT-D12L is a dual-hall PAS sensor. I would usually set C1 to '5' when using one.

I used to have a Honda S2000 for fun, but eventually realised my e-bikes gave me more smiles per mile. Ended up getting rid of it and bought a Volvo V70 instead.

KT controllers are definitely the best of all the 'budget' options available, but there's certainly room for improvement. The PID control required for torque throttle control is more complex than that needed for discreet fixed torque PAS levels. I've never tried the open source KT firmware, but...

I've always been puzzled about the throttle implementation when it comes to KT controllers. If the throttle also operated as a current (torque) throttle, it would give a huge boost in usability and also make them more marketable too.

"Wet winter roads, leaves, manhole covers, and off road, gravel" So a bit of everything really?

Best grip on what though?... As you correctly stated, there's no 'perfect' tyre - they're all a compromise in one way or another. The Maxxis Holy Roller is my favourite 'all-rounder' - pretty much what the OP was asking for.

This has been my preferred 'all-rounder' tyre for many years: https://www.maxxis.com/uk/tyre/holy-roller/ Enough tread to cope well off-road, minimal rolling resistance on pavement and hardpack dirt.

Not necessarily. Depends whether they're talking about a 750W rated motor, or 750W of output power.

Who do you think funds the site?

May I suggest that it is more of a reflection of ebay as a failing (declining) marketplace, rather than the used ebike market as a whole. Buyers have begun a mass exodus of the site in the last year, so there are bargains to be had with listings that struggle to gain views in the double digits!

You'd need a fair gust to make it worthwhile, but it's not a bad idea. Do you have any more information about this specific implementation (photo, link, etc.)?

You can lead a horse to water...

Custom parameter C2 adjusts the motor phase angle & timing. You should try making incremental changes to this setting, starting at '0', each time increasing the value by 1 and seeing the effect this has on motor operation. PLEASE NOTE: The C2 parameter only takes effect after a power cycle of...

Disconnect everything from the controller except for the battery, motor and display, then try powering the motor using the walk-assist function - you can do so by holding the [DOWN] button on the LCD display. Let us know what happens.

'Error 03' refers to an issue with a number of your motor's hall sensor signals. Before doing anything else, you should carry out the following multimeter test in order to confirm the status of your motor's hall-effect sensors: https://www.ebikes.ca/documents/HallSensorTestingFinal.pdf Please...

The following thread on Endless Sphere is the best source of information on the subject: https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/threads/definitive-tests-on-the-heating-and-cooling-of-hub-motors.48753/#p1095860 TL;DR - Ferrofluid is extremely effective on direct drive outrunner motors. Other motor...

Sorry, no. All out of stock and no plans to make any more.
