Thanks for the details about your controller John. Exactly the same as mine! Quick Update: I have now fitted the 48-V BMS Battery. No-load speed is now 27 MPH! Performance is good with 19 MPH into this morning's headwind. Any more than 19 MPH and there's a worrying 'rattling' sound out of the...

Hello john h and d8veh, Thanks for the extra info and sorry about the late reply. John, is that the controller that came with your tongsheng motor or is it the KU123? I see that at least one of your capacitors is 63-V. Do you think that a KU93 would be compatible with tongsheng motor and 48-V...

Thank you all (especially D8veh) for the excellent info. I have ordered the BMS battery pack suggested by D8veh and intend to try it with the controller I have. D8veh....If I get around to opening up the controller (really busy just now with work), what should I look for on the capacitors...

Hello again, and thank you D8veh & flash for the advice last October! I've done about 400 miles with the bike now and find that it performs a little better than my old 250-W 8fun. On the level it can manage about 17 MPH, so my guess is that I'm getting about 300W on a good day (as opposed to...

Thanks d8veh for your very interesting and informative reply. However, I don't think it's the same as your Ananda motor because it only seems to have two screws on the non-wiring side and there is no sign of the six screws close to the spokes that you refer to. If you would take a look at...

Thanks muckymits, I've just ordered the XT60s! Cheers, Bill

Hi, I want to purchase in-line battery connectors for my project ebike. I want to use the same type as my charger plug (see attachments please). The diameter of the plastic section is 12.5mm and the length of the metal body plus the plastic section is 28mm. The connectors are similar to...

Thank you very much for all the info, 'd8veh' & 'Blew it'. I decided to do what I could with the 8Fun replacement controller. On opening it up and identifying the copper shunt, I noticed that it was notched, whereas the shunt in the original controller was not. I therefore applied some solder...

Hi, I'm a fairly new member and live on Hayling Island, Hampshire. I recently bought an 8Fun E26M03S (E26M03S | 26" Electric Aluminium Mountain Bike | 36V Lithium Bottle Battery with Panasonic Cells,21 SP SHIMANO, DISC Brake). This has an 8Fun QSWXK motor (Bafang I think) without hall...
