    Question about Walk Assist on Shimano Steps

    Cheers Leigh, I bet you doggy love the Bulldog Clips! On mine its not worth it, I think that's the one thing Gazelle didnt get right, the walk mode just does not have the "puddy wegs" to take the skin off a rice pudding, let alone go up a ramp.

    Question about Walk Assist on Shimano Steps

    I have an Gazelle Ami C7 with a Shimano E500 (40Nm) And the walk assist does not really work. 1) its a lot of phaaf, you have to select walk by holding the button down for 2 seconds, then you have to keep it pressed. 2) It does not seem to assist at all .... all it enables the bike to do is...

    Hi Pedelecs... I got rid of my 10 year old Gazelle Inergy, it could have been a great bike, but it had to go, I was just throwing more and more money at it. In the end I treated myself a couple of months ago to a brand new: Gazelle Ami, I like this bike more and more every time I ride it. Its a...

    Hi Woosh, if you think you can fix it, I'll bring it down to you again. Remember you had a look at it back in August. When I brought it down to you.

    I've given up on mine now, I'm going to stick it back on eBay for spares and repairs. A bit disappointing and it has cost me a fortune.

    Recommendations LCD display and Controller for front hub 240W 29Nm 36V

    Cheers Woosh, You have cheered me up no end, thanks. At least I don't think I have to worry about that bit now. I see you have a picture on your website home page of something very similar to my Gazelle Innergy?

    Recommendations LCD display and Controller for front hub 240W 29Nm 36V

    Cheers Harry for your input, I still have not got around to ordering my kit. I've had a few distractions over the last few days. On closer inspection I'm concerned now about the front wheel motor hub. When I spin the wheel backwards it makes a noise. I don't know if that's OK or there is is a...

    Hi Daniel, I know the controllers all have connectors and terminals .... but do they have a kit of "empty" connector blocks that mate to them so I can terminate my leads with matching connectors?

    Hi Daniel, I suppose its orange on mine because its a dutch bike :) I think I will stick to the KT as that is the one in the blog and its very mainstream. Do these kits generally come with the mating blocks to the connectors? I would imagine its going to be quite a phaaf to try and source...

    Hi Neal, I'm glad I've found out about the KT controller. I found out about it first on the Blog that appears at: https://www.avdweb.nl/solar-bike/misc/gazelle-rebuild I'm hoping that the schematic diagram will help me get it right first time. I know from experience, that nothing ever works...

    Hi Neal, The plan was to open up the headlamp where all the wires end up and join the original cables to the controller at that point. Out of interest I have found the motor connector and listed the wires: Thick Wires: Yellow Green Blue Thin Wires: Black Red Orange Green Blue Yellow This is as...

    I've just tripped over Emily's thread here, and I've read some of her other ones. I too am the proud owner of Gazelle Innergy, but a very dissapointed one. I bought the bike a few weeks ago via eBay ... it did work but the performance was not what you would expect. Then the Nexus 8 speed hub...

    Cheers Neal, I'm going to go out now and have a good look at my Gazelle Innergy and have a deeper poke at it. If the misses does not find me something more useful to do. Back later.
