    HELP URGENT PLEASE THANK YOU Muddyfox electric avenue charger port broke

    I don't know the detail of that model, but in most cases the motor will be reusable. Add controller and display, always buy as a pair for compatibility, and usually on here KT is recommended. But it looks like your battery is inside the frame, so a replacement will either need mounting...

    HELP URGENT PLEASE THANK YOU Muddyfox electric avenue charger port broke

    Bad news: you may have damaged the battery. It shorted out across the charge port, and didn't catch fire, so some protection mechanism saved you! But it may be a destroyed BMS, or it may be an internal fuse in the battery. Good news: second hand same bikes go for £200 or so. Maybe buy a second...

    Looking for a ebike

    Jumps are a bad idea if you want your bike to last! Landing with your weight on the pedals puts high stress through the crank area, which is where the sophisticated and potentially slightly delicate torque sensor lives in mid-drive bikes. Asking for trouble putting more punishment than necessary...

    what size brake disc pads/

    They won't be circular, and the B01S fits many Shimano calipers. Easy to check, although removing wheel is needed for a good look. Look from the underneath view and you should see the straight sides. B01S work fine, but have been superceded twice by B03S and now B05S. Longer lasting is the...

    Help! My next project

    OK, the consistency eliminates some possible causes. Not the throttle, not the PAS, definitely the algorithm, which might respond to settings, although I can't help there. If this is not normal for a KT setup, perhaps someone with greater experience is able to shed light. I wonder if the use...

    Help! My next project

    How does it behave if you ride in level 5 continuously, and stop and start pedalling? Same delayed ramp up each time you resume, or different?

    Help! My next project

    For It sounds like a badly tuned feedback loop, severely overdamped. I don't know firsthand anything about your controller, but a poorly behaving algorithm sometimes indicates a missing or incorrect input. Another experiment would be to go much slower in the bottom of the dip, say that target...

    Help! My next project

    Back to your wheel build: why a '1 cross' pattern on such a large wheel with powerful motor? Surely a '2 cross' with its larger spoke angle would have significantly lower spoke loads under power?

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    Putting aside handlebars and so on, is the amount of help from the motor enough for you, and is the amount of effort you have to put in to get the help low enough for you, is what I'm asking. If the motor aspect is capable of being suitable then changing bars and so on is all possible. If it...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    It would be useful to know if, in the course of your so far endless quest, you have tried the higher spec mid-drive motors, and whether, purely from an assistance point of view whilst riding, ignoring weight and balance when handling/lifting, they met your needs.

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    A bit like building a house. You can have a good house, a cheap house and a quick house. But only two of those three.

    Not in the list of PAS from BSI. Perhaps only listed there when finalised/approved. Surprising a draft version doesn't easily appear in search results. Surely not a numerical typo?

    48 V Bafang KT Build

    Physics stops the current because the battery cannot rise to a voltage higher than the input. So it is essential that the 'charger', in this case the solar charge controller, is set to, or designed to supply, the correct fully charged voltage. The BMS looks after balancing the cell groups, and...

    48 V Bafang KT Build

    BTW I wouldn't put too much effort into the ice cream outside schools idea as I think you'll get banned immediately. Schools do not want distractions at the pickup/drop-off points/times for safety reasons. Interesting project in the right place.

    48 V Bafang KT Build

    Most solar ebike systems use a 'boost' solar charge controller and a panel(s) with voltage lower than the battery voltage. The charge controller is programmed to output the fully charged voltage of the battery, so 42V for a 36V system, 54.4V for a 48V system. My panels produce about 18V, and...

    Help! E-scooter battery and controller to an eBike front hub motor

    When you say spun, do you mean the throttle only works if the wheel is already rotating? If this was a normal bike system, that would suggest that it only works if the PAS is giving a signal, and that the PAS only gives a signal for the wrong direction of rotation. So does your scooter system...
