    Argos Cheap Ebike £360

    Another Argos entry level bike that's similar - £380. 18" frame on 28" wheels, hybrid style, 7-speed gearing and 3-speed controller. It's a little less weight at 19.5kg. It doesn't say what size the in-frame battery is, but they claim a similar 18 miles and they do say Samsung cells so it can't...

    Tranzx Logix error codes

    Update the bike software, re-run the diagnostics report, post the PDF here. The battery may be recoverable. AFAIR, it's a closed cadence sensor that craps out because it fills with debris and rainwater thrown up from the front wheel. Contact cleaner and reseating all the plugs might help.

    Is it me or the bike..?!

    It's a Cube Hybrid 500 - so it's a Bosch mid-motor - so it is torque sensored. (EDIT: Oops, sorry, you're talking to LB not the OP.) Isn't there an App for fiddling with the power bands in each level now, or is that just certain Bosch mid-motors? A number of (newer) mid-drive bikes allow the...

    Help! Bafang bike looking for Besst tool in Oxford area

    Ebco in Warwickshire are one of the few e-bike makers using the latest range of Bafang mid-motors in their current factory-built models. Any of their dealers (there's one in Bicester) should have the software: Store Locator - EBCO (ebco-ebikes.co.uk) There's also a link on their support page to...

    Raleigh Stow E Way Tranzx problems

    Good news both bikes now working. Install an OLD version of Acrobat Reader from a CD Rom or off an old laptop. It's only used to read/display the service documentation, but the diagnostic software won't run without it. Once you've done that, the Diagnostics will connect to TranzX's database...

    Raleigh Stow E Way Tranzx problems

    Is the bike running? The controller initiates a boot-up cycle that takes a few seconds when you switch it on, checking all the bits are there and functioning. It may be that since you changed the display/controller it doesn't match the software version logged in the controller... normally after...

    Raleigh Stow E Way Tranzx problems

    Eh? When did Raleigh go bust? The Raleigh website is still up, and the Stow-e-way still advertised and being sold. All the electrics are made by TranzX (nothing to do with Raleigh) and have (had) a two-year warranty from new. All those used on your bike are still made by TranzX (J D...

    Looking for a folding bike good for hills.

    That Argos folder being all-steel weighs a ton (25kg?), and likely wouldn't pull the skin off a custard... never mind a 6ft bloke up hills. There's always been issues here on the forum with the Argos/e-plus range with unavailability of (especially) the electrical parts even when new and still...

    Newbie from South Wales with a repair query.

    Are you sure it's a Phylion battery? That shape isn't listed in Phylion's own catalogue - although the battery used on Carreras up until 2018 still is. Phylion eBike Battery Catalogue-2023V2

    Newbie from South Wales with a repair query.

    Something doesn't stack up here... IIRC, that battery was used up to 2018 models, with the controller potted (sealed) into the battery dock and had Suntour components throughout (i.e. display). From 2018/2019, the battery maker changed (not Phylion), as did the location of the controller to a...

    Help Please!

    A new Tranzx 15 motor for the Stow-e-way is typically £200+duties (i.e. not £500). Thank goodness you don't need one.

    Ebike controller/battery connection

    It may be easier to state/show which bike it is. Different bike brands tend to use batteries from specific manufacturers.

    Help! New and in need of help.

    Looking at Hitway's website, all their bikes seem to be generic Chinese styles simply rebranded with their own name. In many cases, they may be made for an international market where, in the US for example, 20mph is allowed, and in those cases the bike can often be easily switched from 15.5mph...

    Just bought my first E bike

    AFAIK Fiido's bikes made specifically for the UK market have the brakes the right way around (eg my own D11). If your brakes are reversed, it's likely an EU model imported - eg: sold by Banggood who for a long while were shipping EU stock from Poland into the UK. But yes, nothing to stop you...

    Motor run on BSB01

    My cable is a black sheathed one - probably one that @guerney suggested - that uses a Robotdyn CH340G USB to TTL. It works fine with both Win10 and 11 on cheap Lenovo laptops, and my Android 'phone with the Speeed app from the play store using a short ebay USB-C to A adaptor lead.

    BT-WIN ELOPS 900E EBIKE KEEPS CUTTING OUT

    Do the battery bars on the display go down quickly and then the display cuts-out completely too OR just the motor loses power yet the display stays on? 450 miles over two years suggests the bike is sitting around an awful lot between rides, and that you needed a replacement battery after just...

    Tranzx 24V battery output voltages

    This may not help as these images are from a TranzX rear-rack battery but 36v BL07's BMS of about the same vintage as the BL03. You can see the white/blue wires run from the BMS (unfortunately the PCB print/marking is obscured) and ARE meant to be connected at the output. Also, the label...

    A different display connection.

    The round plug is for the older UART protocol, and the newer house-shaped plug is CANbus. Some of Bafangs displays are available in both.

    Pretigo 350w ebike can it go faster?

    There's an old ad for one on FB that shows that bike uses a Yolin YL70E display. Those are preconfigured at the factory to each manufacturers specs my manual says based on 3 core versions (although I know there have been other variants added since my manual). According to my manual for it, only...

    Pretigo 350w ebike can it go faster?

    You probably mean Petrigo? Petrigo currently make 59 different e-bike models, each of which can be specified with different motors, controllers, displays. You're going to need to be far more specific as to which you're talking about - either give a link or post photos.
