sorry the thread hijack, but is there a way to limit the throttle amps based on pas level? So if set to pas 3 we’d only get 33% of the amps on full throttle.

I’m thinking of having a go at building up a battery pack. Something to do until lockdown is lifted! Pretty much decided on 21700 cells for a 14s2p pack to go in a saddle bag. Obviously easiest deign is 14 cells long 2 cells high when looking at the cell ends, but that’s too long for the bag. So...

Has anyone seen or got any off the shelf discreet battery solutions like this one? Looking for something in a saddle bag rather than a frame bag. This one seems ideal apart from the price! I’ve got a hl battery on my bike currently but looking for something stealth on my next one. Controller is...

Cheers vfr. I’ll scratch that one then.

I’ve got a spare wheel knocking about that has an akm-100cst motor built into it. It’s died a death and I was considering just getting a new motor from tbk and swapping over the internals. But then I thought, is it possible to put the 128 internals into a 100 body? They look similar, but...

My old man has just ordered himself a Haibike trekking 5 so he can come out for some rides with me (not sure if I’ll be able to get away with my normal bike or if I’ll need get my conversion mtb out, will see how fast he is!) It’s arriving Wednesday, so I’ll post a review when I can get a go. My...

Not at all, please feel free. It was a perfect fit, seemed my old bracket broke in just the right place!

Received my bracket this morning (thanks again!) and fitted it during my lunch break. Perfect fit and very rigid. Certainly not going anywhere. Would definitely recommend if anyone has suffered the dreaded button box break!

Seconded! Thanks Daniel

Would this fit an LCD8H? My existing bodge of superglueing a zip tie to the button box has finally given up!

Another vote for the Lidl special. I’ve got one of those slimmer cut out ones on my normal bike, but that still requires padded shorts and probably still can’t get more than a couple of hours out before it starts to ache. The Lidl one went on my electric as it was due to be a commuter, so I...

I’ve just bought a topeak rack and bag setup for my non-electric hybrid. The plan was to put it on my electric commuter, but the old 26” mtb frame didn’t really want to play ball, missing some mount points and the like. Not cheap, but a quality item. Can run it just as a bag, or then drop out...

I like Komoot, but be aware that it does seem to consider footpaths fair game for cycling. Where I live I have basically zero cycle infrastructure apart from the towpaths so when I’m planning a run into the countryside I double check with OS that it’s a BOAT or bridleway and adjust accordingly...

Yep, controller is working fine. I’ve got two controllers (one bought in error) and both do the same thing. Also the new motor is running fine when hooked up. Will say, the resistor nearest the power input on the controller is blackened, but everything is all working ok with the new motor.

I’ve got the tool on order to open it up so I’ll know more once that arrives. It died for a minute, came back for a few mins, went again, came back then went for good. No weird noises, it was warm but not hot, and it was the warmest day of the year so far. Weirdest thing about it is with the...
