Hi @Nealh, thanks for the suggestions but I don't have wheel sensor /spoke magnet and I'm reasonably sure that the motor didn't hit the ground. The problem occurs as soon as you turn on the system at the handlebar control - one flashing LED which the manual tells me is a battery fault. Last...

Hi, I’m hoping there might be somebody with Sunstar ibike experience here (it’s a Japanese crank drive system that is now out of production)? My Sunstar battery only gives me a few miles range now so I bought a new x-go 24v battery from ebay and soldered it in a couple of days ago*, initially...

Ah OK, thanks for that. So from what you are saying its totally safe and wouldn't cause a problem, many thanks. I just found it a little surprising as I know the Sunstar battery doesn't do that. I'll add another post about my real problem then later on! Many thanks.

Hi, I have just bought a new X-Go 24V Bottle type battery from an e-Bay seller. Does anyone else think it's odd (and maybe dangerous) that when I turn the battery off I can still measure 14v on the terminals of the battery? 29v fully charged, turn it 'off' and this drops to 14v. In my book off...

Hi, I've had another look on the German forum I mentioned earlier ... it looks like the connector from the motor to the battery has 4 wires - a black and a white thick wire for power and a thin red and thin brown wire (the 5th connector on the battery holder doesn't seem to connect to a wire)...

No, mine is 24 v only, shame. Thanks for coming back though. My motor makes a squeaking noise after 5 miles or so sometimes, I'm wondering if this is the motor on the way out? I took it to the dealer who sold/fitted the kit who tells me they cant find anything wrong with it and also cant...

Hi all, I've just found this on the german forum https://www.pedelecforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/anschlu%C3%9F-akku-an-sunstar-s03-motor.48666/#post-838424 If I open this google does an auto translate for me, it looks like others have tried to add a 3rd party battery to a Sunstar motor with...

Hi Nealh, The battery has 5 connectors at the bottom that plug into the holder and a wire out of that with 4 (or 5?) wires. I think some of these must be around battery management/sensing how much of the battery charge is left to display on the handlebar display? Presumably (obviously) non of...

Hi, I have a sunstar so3 crank drive kit (24v) on my Scott, the battery (bottle shape) is failing now so I need a replacement. As i'm sure many here know Sunstar have stopped making these kits so I'm a bit stuck. Does anyone know where I could get a battery from, ideally like for like? Perhaps...

Hi, I have a 24v sunstar ibike which is still OK but the battery (down tube bottle type) is past its best. I don't suppose yours is 24v? Also interested in the failure, did it fail without any warning or was it starting to make some sort of noise? Many thanks, Chris
