    Thanks for the explanation though, don't mix and match with Cyclotricity.

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    Perhaps but the K2 kit on the bike was Cyclotricity, I changed only the motor from the Yose Power K2 kit and then realised after a couple of years I was having problems which were getting worse. Take into account I only commute once a week and I have two eBikes depending on the weather. I...

    Conversion costs

    I was on the Great Orme last November when an elderly cyclist had a mishap and I went over to help him. I said it was a nice Trek ebike and I had 2x Trek's that I had converted. I then asked the price: £7,800, he said he nearly had the £10,500 model...

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    If anybody is interested another FINAL update to my problem. Gave the bike a proper ride to work and back today and it was wonderful. My pedal assist never worked correctly so I always used the thumb control but the PAS that came with the kit is working perfectly. So my advice is, if you are...

    Conversion costs

    He is a Prison Officer and quite high up also. The beauty of eBikes is that you can cut out a lot of unnecessary roads by being able to go on footpaths/cycle lanes etc. For example my commute is only around 10% roads/streets but if I had an eScooter I'd have to go on 100% road. Funny thing is...

    Conversion costs

    Around 2015 I had a 1000 watt motor but only kept it on for a month, it was too fast for the MTB I was using and scared me several times. Also I've been stopped 3 times on my 250 watts to see if they're legal and they are or OK with the Police. I do have thumb throttles on both bikes but I...

    Cheapest bike on Amazon

    Both of my Trek bikes were bought off Gumtree for £150 each and I then put £350 to £400 conversions on them from Yose Power and Cyclotricity. I've also helped at least 25 other people do conversions on named bikes they've bought off Gumtree and Marketplace.

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    I'll keep this updated just in case people have similar problems. A couple of years ago I bought a Yose Power kit and only used the front motor with my older Cycloticity electrics and all seemed fine until a few months ago when my motor kept cutting out more and more. Since it was doing the...

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    Thought I'd keep you updated. I didn't buy a battery straight away, I wanted to see how my good battery coped on my normal commute to work because I only go in once a week. Even though my good battery got me up a big bank four times the other day, today it cut out 6 times - WTF? So I'm going to...

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    I'm talking rubbish :) Just identified my batteries, been out for a big bank ride and one of them does cut out while the other stays on. Funnily enough the one that stays on is the battery I posted about where a wire came off the other week. Is there a fix for the duff battery or is it a new one?

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    It happens with my identical battery also. I do have a spare controller so will fit that one day this week. Thanks

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    Like I said I've never had a problem since 2010 but now my MTB is playing up. No idea what speed but slow, assist level 5 and weight I'm the lowest I've been since I had them. I do know I'm 5ft 6ins and two stone overweight. Cycling up with my virtually identical Hybrid is no problem. HOWEVER...

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    Sorry I took so long to reply, problems. I've had these bikes for a long time and back in January 2020 I changed both batteries over to Green Cell's. Both bikes acted normal with no problems but it was only last year I noticed the MTB started to cut out on a hill. So as an example last year...

    Motor cutting out when under strain

    I have two virtually identical bikes, all the same parts except one has a 26" motor and the other 700c .For a while I thought that a paranormal event was happening with my MTB every time I got to a certain place my motor would cut out so I'd turn the LED off and turn back on again. Yesterday I...
