I got them from Amazon- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GXZFH1C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 although I note the are currently unavailable, but there a several others that look similar. I did have to do some minor surgery to the metal shoe to make them fit.

I have just bought an E-Movement Thor. 250w bafang rear hub motor, 36v 10.4AH battery. Did a 12 mile circuit of my home yesterday as my first trip out. Setting 3 for most of the time, 4 on the hilly clips and 5 on the hard uphill back to the house. With sensible use of the gears, and being...

found them - or at least identical

Many years ago I came across a motorbike lock which featured the usual chain, but it was contained in a sleeve made from kevlar and ballistic nylon [the same as what chainsaw trousers are made of] Any power tool would snarl up on the outer sleeve ages before reaching the inner tempered steel...

I'm here in wales and I never go further than a 2 mile radius from the house. With our maze of small back roads and tracks I can easily fit in 12- 15 miles [or an hours exercise] without ever going 'further' than 2 miles. Simples!

So, there I was, coasting down this big long hill near the house and when I went to slow down, the front brake decided that it no longer wanted to do it's job. Luckily the rear was working. Checked it all over and decided that I needed a new set of brake pads. Looking online it's definitley not...

DHL deliverd my battery today, no problems. The box it was in was clearly marked as a LiOn battery too, with all the usual warnings on it.

well, after a lot of too-ing and fro-ing with all manner of replies and opinions, I eventually took the plunge and invested in a new x-go bottle battery as a replacement. I duly wired it in and did a trial run. Success! Lets see how long it lasts. Now- what to do with the existing battery...

there you go. looks like a generic cheapo controller the usual jumble of cables

will do when I get back home later in the week.

so it looks like I'll be replacing the controller. There's a lot to choose from out there, but since this is a cheapo bike, I'm not minded to splash out for a top end bit of kit. On the other hand I don't want to replace my crapped out controller with another cheap'n nasty one. so...

so........... I hardwired the voltage indicator into the battery connections and powered up the system. The battery showed 3 green. The led indicator showed a full battery. The controller gave a full bar of lights. I selected mid-range and off I went. The controller indicator lights almost...

Ok. guy who has my multimeter has gone on his hols, so I bought one of those led voltmeter things off the bay, and checked the voltage- 100% ok, and this is after I'd been round the block a couple of times and had a half dozen resets. Plan now is to wire said voltmeter into the battery 'spikes'...

cannot think that it is that, since all the key does is lock/unlock the battery into the carrier.

Thanks guys. will check out battery when I get my multimeter back off the guy I loaned it to. I'll report back and see where we go from there. If the battery is ok, then it might be the controller. I note that they are'nt that pricey.
