    Splitter for lighting?

    I want to install lights via the controller, most only come with 1 light output. Is there a splitter I can buy with the jst connectors so I can run both front and rear?

    Wind sucks

    Thanks to brutal wind my battery died with a mile and a half uphill left, had a monster hill on my journey which didn't help. I should probably learn to knock the Pas settings down... My display has option to limit amps, unfortunately it doesn't actually do anything, motor pulls 15a most of the...

    Schwalbe smart Sam good choice?

    I need to get these studs off and run some normal tyres. I need some knobs to get me through the odd patch of mud, but fast rolling. Are these a good budget choice? The impac version "smartpac" also made by schwalbe can be had for less than 25 quid with a pair of tubes. I don't do any "serious*...

    Melting connectors

    I was using those red plastic bullet connectors for phase and power lines. Yesterday they all decided to melt at once and I was getting some shorts. I have replaced them with the more common kind of bullets seen on ebikes. Is heat in the wires normal or do I need a thicker guage? I extended my...

    More current wanted, best/cheapest controller with LCD?

    Just done a mild shunt mod on my 6 MOSFET 48v controller to see if there are any gains. Indeed there are, acceleration is noticeably improved and it holds speed on the throttle a little better, and this is just from a thin tinning of solder around the middle. So to make these gains permanent I'm...

    Tickety tick tick

    I have a ticky tick noise that I'm pretty sure is a spoke as I've experienced this before. Have checked none are broke or loose, tension isn't totally even though due to truing a couple times, this probably triggered the noise. Anything else to check before I put a drop of oil on everything to...

    Uh oh, spoke noise

    After truing my back wheel I have the infamous tick sound once per revolution, had it before so pretty sure it's a spoke. None are loose, but tension is a little uneven due to truing a few mishaps out. Should I just lube the nipples and between them as this has worked in the past, or does this...

    Repair kit

    What do you carry in yours? I have a pump, patches, a tube, adjustable wrench, multi tool, electricians tape, cable ties, side cutters. Was thinking of adding some lengths of wire and a few crimps for emergencies as been stuck without power a couple of times

    Field weakening, is there another name?

    Looking for controllers with this feature, so far can only find very high powered ones which are very highly overpriced. Is there another name or has the technology not caught on yet

    Hop in wheel

    I have had to true my back wheel a couple times now due to bottoming out the tyre, I should really maintain my pressures better! Anyway I tuned all the spokes by ear today so tension was even, obviously the wheel has had a few knocks so I knew I'd have to make some corrections after. I took the...

    Help wife choose new bike

    She is going to use her crappy xiongying bike through winter then get shot of it as the battery sags and cuts out on high assist. Her spare still works so may get some pocket change for it when we're finished. Requirements: Stepthrough 48v 13ah or more Panniers/mudguards As cheap as possible...

    Temp bodge hydraulic leak?

    I have Clark M2 brakes, the reservoir cap on the rear lever has cracked and now it leaks and the brake has stopped working. Anything I can do to restore the seal until new brakes arrive? Front brake only would be fine if it wasn't so slippy, even studs have their limita

    Kt hailong controller, good idea?

    I have just learned these are a thing, and considering it as an option as sadly the plastic controller box I bought won't fit my frame and I am not the biggest fan of running it in a bag like I'm doing now. Only thing is I'd have to rethink my battery mounting as I had to drill the part where...

    Motor problems

    My bike has just developed a strange issue, thought it was the halls but now not sure. Upon startup it will sometimes display E007 which stands for "motor breakdown". When this happens the motor "sticks" and makes a car ignition sort of noise. If I nurse it in on low power it will start running...

    Cheapest source for kt controller and display

    As the title suggests I am looking for the cheapest source of kt torque simulation controller and screen. So far pswpower comes out on top, either shipping is expensive or price too high elsewhere

    Will a legal hub benefit from more amps?

    I have already overvolted my suntour hub and noticed some gains, it's a lot faster however to actually get the extra speed one needs to pedal more or be on a slight downhill. I suspect torque is the main issue, it pulls around 15 amps, the display has option to increase amps up to 20 but this...

    Overvolted Carrera e spec is a monster!

    A while ago I modded my Carrera Vulcan by ditching the suntour controller for a derestricted generic one, this improved the bike quite a bit as I had a throttle and got full assistance when I wanted it. Since my controller is dual voltage and I was struggling with range in these colder months I...

    Improving my hall wires

    I'm not happy with the state of my halls, think I'm going to solder some extra length to them and redo the connectors, then heatshrink the whole bunch together so if they get yanked they get pulled together as I'm sick of juddery connection issues. Anything else I can do to make them more reliable?
