Well, i just chopped the plug off and extended my battery wires from a new Hailong holder (as one turns up whether you want it or not when you buy a battery) and the new contoller is in the bag that comes with the Yosepower kit- so my 2 bikes now look the same- but yet to take it out as its been...

Hi- I’ve built an ebike from a kit about 12 years ago- decent sized from hub and 24v originally, but I took it up to 36v and it had more power and was very useable- I’ve no idea what make the hub is and I’ve never been able to open it as I’ve not got a large enough c-spanner. The controller was...

By out of sequence, I see what you meant. I trusted the colour discipline would have been adhered to, but I was wrong- the originals switch black white, but the reed/magnets switched black red... All working now.

I've cut them off and re-joined, colour for colour- the switches came with male plugs- what I needed was female sockets, so I cut them off my old leavers and soldered them onto the new ones in place of what they came with. So, I could just plug them into the loom.

Ive got a Yose Power kit that I fitted a year ago and its been trouble free except the pedal sensors not keen on water. Ive done 1600 miles on it since last August and highly recommend the kit as its easy to fit (front wheel version) Well made and the battery has only lost a vew 'volts'...

Thats no mean feat doing that! Same terrain as crough patrick in Eire- You wouldnt be able to do the last bit.

Kent- Famous place Squire! Say no More! (Im in Maidstone and also ride motorbikes...)

ive got one of their kits and not had too many woes. Good luck and enjoy the ride. I dont know how far 40km is in english, but on a 250w/36v- it might be ambitious - so dont keep it on 5- stay on 3 for the PAS.

Ha! This reminds me of Plumbers, years ago. When it was pipes, water and gas-they were happy. When pumps, programmers, 3rd wires and room-stats became the norm- many were buggered. They had learned their craft for years the same old way- then things started to get a bit technical. What its like...

Thanks-you would think so, wouldn't you. It takes about 3 miles to start making a noise and today, its not as pronounced as it was-but a number of factors-1. Ive had the wheel off and apart. 2. it's wet.Muddy. I did my usual 12 miles late this afternoon-lovely sky but getting cold-10 degrees...

Thanks, tried spokes and Ive had the disc calliper off and on a number of times, added, subtracted spacers.washers. . Its a replacement aftermarket, as I couldnt get a Zoom direct replacement. I cant remember if the noise was there before I replaced it, because it was a case of the brake simply...

Hi all- i decided to do some hub maintenance on one of my bikes that makes a bit of a squeeking noise , which Ive long suspected is the disc, but Ive never really nailed it. I bought and fitted this kit in July- to an unused ally-framed MTB. For anyone whos not seen these kits, they are basic...

The thread seems to bounce around a bit, or maybe It my lack of attention to reading all the posts, which go back a few years. I have a front wheel conversion from Yosepower which was bought on the cheap in AUGUST 20 just to convert a spare ally MTB I had, which had a decent spec when I bought...

I remplaced the chainwheel on my home-brew Stealth which id fitted a Legal 250w front wheel set-up from YosePower and had notice its not as 'fast' top end as my other bike. not that its a vast difference , but my old british Eagle MTB rides much faster than the lighter all ally Stealth. I went...

It only takes a lapse of concentration- which we are all capable of- Well, I am! Had a battery-fire about 7 years ago- its in my old posts- Nothing I did wrong- but nearly burnt my garage down. I've also had a duff Frog battery arrive and repaired it- but it was like diffusing a bomb (again, on...
