I recently bought a cheap, older, mountain bike requiring work on brakes, gears and front suspension. So after carrying out repairs which only cost me a new chain and front disc brake pads, plus strip,clean and lubrication of front forks and front and rear derailleur assemblies then resetting...

“slenderer” ... is that a word ... :):):) Seriously Woosh, a great thread for we tinkerers, thank you for starting it. I will follow it with interest. Best regards ... Alan.

Glad to see your topic is still alive crystal john, (but not of course that you are experiencing problems)... :( Your old controller looks very similar to mine on the Probike and only 8 wires to/from the rear hub motor and is also 24v, and I have finally decided to follow vfr400 and Nealh's...

I like the Faro very much, particularly the understated simplicity look of the bike .. perhaps in the future... :)... in the meantime I look forward to a full review. I bought a very similar stand from Am***n a few weeks ago... First time I tried it the outer part of the alloy stand broke out...

Welcome to this very informative forum Chris (thanks of course to the very knowledgable and helpful members) ... you can still pedal through then above the 15.5mph legal assist limit after the motor has cut out, particularly if the ebike or kit you choose is not too heavy.

Great advice as always in this interesting post vfr400... although perhaps not as sophisticated as the Powacyle Salisbury model, this controller that you advise may ? be suitable, when I eventually have a Li-on 36v battery built to replace my 24v - 2X 12v SLAs. I have the switchable on/off...

To comply with UK regulations in order to continue to qualify as an e-bike rather than a moped, I have now readjusted the speed limit control to allow a max of 15.5 mph, and sealed it back into the controller housing below the frame bottom bracket shell as per manufacturers spec. As this bike...

Welcome to the forum ... that is nearly as heavy as my old Probike Mercury with SLA batteries (35kg) ... :) low centre of gravity so not so bad since I increased the torque. (with generous help from chaps on here)

Thank you for all of your help vfr400, I am over the moon with this distant cousin of the Beastamatic, and of course thanks to your reference to the Cyclamatic now have access to lots of useful information relevant to my own Probike Mercury. Not so much raw speed that I need to use, but the...

A more extensive test today, near me is a stretch of road about one mile long and fairly level. So a few runs along and back as quiet this time of day, trying the “speed limiter” adjustment all of the way clock and counter clockwise, but no difference in top speed or acceleration, so have now...

It was coating on the shunt vfr400. I cleaned it off completely, then soldered both legs to just after the bends ... a good blob on the inside of one bend, but just tinned the other as not so accessible I think nearer 35% rather than your advised 25%. I reassembled temporarily, and tried it...

Just before I covered the bike up for the night, I followed the two thin white wires to this adjustable terminal (rheostat?) ?. I wonder if I leave this item accessible after reassembly if It may allow me to adjust the power/speed cut off. My maximum without pedalling on the flat, is 12mph at...

Wow! It certainly is when you know what you are looking for... The legs are very short, so is the blob actually on the legs from the pcb, around each bend onto the horizontal section, measuring 25% of the whole length. or is the blob of solder restricted to the horizontal length from the...

I took more photos of the pcb out of the case vfr400 and Neal... Underside of pcb Top view pcb Capacitor details Under large capacitor

Thanks vfr400 and Neal, I will strip at the weekend and let you know what I find if I may.
