    HELP. Ithink I've broken my wifes battery

    Hi. I am currently at work so I cannot take a photograph. But I have attached a link of a sales brochure. I managed to get the battery working again so panic over. I did this by removing both end caps and letting it air for 24 hours. I have tested the bike thoroughly and I think I got away with...

    How do I waterproof unused connectors?

    Afternoon all. I am nearing the final fit and tidy up of a Yose Power rear hub onto a hybrid bike. My question is. I have 3 unused sockets on the wiring loom. 1 for the thumb throttle (my wife is not going to have it too easy) and 2 for the brakes (the bike has combined brake and gear levers)...

    Wow, who said you can't get out of breath on an Ebike

    Afternoon everyone. I am just i the process of installing a Yose power rear hub onto my wifes 700c hybrid bike. At the moment all the cables are taped in place, as I wait for a pannier rack to arrive, but I couldn't resist trying it out. What a hoot. I did about 40k and the battery went from...
