Hi woosh, My electronics knowledge is very limited to the extent that I had to look up what an Arduino is which brought me to the conclusion that this is well outside of my skills. Thanks for the links anyway.

My method may be somewhat crude but serves the purpose of giving me a throttle that is limited to a legal 4mph limit. If Woosh knows a better means of achieving my aim then please share, providing I don’t have to do any electrical calculations. Splicing and soldering I'm ok with though.

Sorry, but it is correct. In the instructions for my Yosepower conversion kit and my Engwe LS20e both have a walk assist mode for when pushing the bike which states this is not to be operated when riding, as it is low power output. The throttle on the Yosepower kit operates up to 15.5 mph where...

On my Engwe the walk assist is applied by holding the minus button. The 4ph via the throttle is to aid initial take off. On my Yosepower kit holding the minus button also delivers 4mph but the throttle allows 15mph which puts it in breach of the EPAC requirements, hence me setting the achievable...

For on the spot check purposes i have set the throttle to 5mph which in reality is useless as a means of ones, well me anyway, initial take off mode as it takes me a while to get my balance and both feet on the pedals. Whoever came up with the 4mph rule has no idea of the needs of the elderly...

Hi whoosh and Saneagle, Having read some posts on other sites I thought I’d give some other configurations a try. Connecting just 2 of the pot terminals in between either the live wire or the signal wire threw up an error code, but when connecting 2 of the pot connections in between the ground...

Hi Saneagle, I wired the 10k pot using the juliet plugs, plugged it in the between the existing throttle plug an controller socket and the throttle operation was not operative and the potentiometer allowed some various speeds randomly with the speed on the display showing 3mph when it appeared...

When the calcs of the loadings on my forks was calculated I recall the engineer quoted the stated 40Nm of torque and saying he adding the 2:1 FOS, due to potential power outputs and engineering discrepancies? I should have mentioned that if others reading this thread want to fit a torque arm...

I have purchased two of the Yosepower front hub kits, one for my trike and one for bike. They both have 250w 36v motors with a standard set 15mph limit Which can be tweaked. The only thing that makes it illegal is the throttle takes you to 15mph but Saneagle has kindly supplied me a way of of...

Hi Saneagle, I’ve noticed on the Juliet plugs and sockets I have sourced that the three cables are black, red and blue. Not wishing to assume where these go I was thinking of inserting the plug into the controller socket and checking the black and red are respectively live and ground and...

Hi Saneagle, Will do, thanks.

Just to make sure I have understood the introduction of a 10k potentiometer is this the connection method? I have used identical Juliet connectors to save spicing into the existing throttle wires.

One advantage about the KD21C that came with my Yosepower kit is that you have the option of PAS settings 0-5, 0-7 and 0-9 and the power percentage within each level can be customised. The thumb throttle irrespective of these setting remains unchanged ranging from 0-15 mph. Using the the...

Thanks very much for this, as this seems an ideal solution. The illustration in your older post is good, as even with my limited electrical knowledge I can understand and replicate it. Sadly, walk in shops such as Maplins and Tandy’s disappeared off the high street some years ago, as they were...
