    Battery not charging.

    Awesome, thanks! I didn't spot the small fuse port tucked under the handle when I looked last, only saw the main fuse. Just put a new 5a fuse in and it's charging again. Cheers @vfr400 :cool:

    Battery not charging.

    The charger is jumping between 52.7-53v would this be cause for the charger to not charge correctly? I would have thought that it would still charge, albeit a bit slower?

    Battery not charging.

    Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can give me a diagnosis of what I can do to determine where the fault lies without performing open case surgery! I'll try to give as much info as possible to help. Currently, the bike turns on, the battery bar on the screen shows 2 bars, and the bike works...

    OK, thanks for the help guys, I'll go off and do some tinkering and see how it goes :)

    Bottom bracket sizing help

    Looking at the stays, it is hard to say if it'll fit or not, it's gonna be close though. I've had a good look around and can't find anyone who's done this bike model, so it's going to be a gamble. I clearly need to do some research before I go buying anything. I've found this bb92 to BSA...

    Bottom bracket sizing help

    I see, so it's nothing to do with the current chain line but about how it sits after the motor and chain ring is fitted. So if for example my BB is 90mm,and I fit a 100mm bbshd, that would mean I'd need 5mm of spacers on each side, so my chain line would be pushed away from the frame by 5mm? Or...

    Bottom bracket sizing help

    What problems did you have with the chain line? I didn't consider there might be other problems beyond BB sizing. I can cope with buying a BB adapter and a few spacers to sort my rear cassette angles out. Here's a few photos down the chain, does it look like it could be problematic?

    Bottom bracket sizing help

    I'm not wanting a commuting bike, I want an off road toy! So I'd definitely need that adapter and a 100mm bbshd unit with some spacers for that bottom bracket? Damn, that's going to add an extra £70 odd to my bill. Stupid shimano and their pressfit rubbish!

    Bottom bracket sizing help

    Not sure what you mean, or if you are talking about something else. I want to remove the crank and bottom bracket and install a bbshd mid drive motor to the bike.

    Bottom bracket sizing help

    I want to convert my mountain bike to electric for my travels across Europe. I want to fit a bbshd and 15ah battery so I can really open it up on mountain trails. The donor bike is a cube ltd race 2x 2016. I have put a tape measure up against the BB to see what size it is, but I'm unsure...

    Powerful conversion kit for my mtb

    A dirt bike would be good fun, but then comes fuel and tax insurance etc. Though if I was going to get a dirt bike I'd get a wr250r, always wanted one as they are superlight and still plenty of go in them, a mate had one when we were youths, excellent bike. I mean if you're doing 60mph+ off road...

    Powerful conversion kit for my mtb

    I'm sure those bikes are fun to ride, but I know what I'm like and after a couple of months I'll be wondering how much more fun could be had if I had a bigger faster bike. The only ebike I had a go on was a front hub 250w girls bike a few years ago, it was a bit gutless, so haven't really had...

    Powerful conversion kit for my mtb

    Oh right, so it really is a case of legal bike or illegal bike with no sweet spot grey area in between. Damn. My bike I can physically pedal it up to about 18 or 19 before I'm flat out I manage to max it out quite regularly even sometimes on the flat with the wind behind me. I don't think...

    Powerful conversion kit for my mtb

    When I looked into the cyclotricity kit there is a code to unlock speed restriction, which means you can ride it on the road legally and restricted, then when off road you enter the code and it removes the restriction. Unless I'm wrong? Is there a similar way to flip between restrictions on a...

    Powerful conversion kit for my mtb

    Hmm, looking around it seems a bbshd kit is going to be around £600, then with the battery on top will be over a grand. A bit out of budget really. If im going down that route, I'd be tempted by that cube acid bike ^ up there ^ but I presume the bbshd with a 52v battery would leave the cube acid...
