Welcome Nick, enjoy the adventure. My latest build is already with plenty of twists and turns and loving the new knowledge gained with every resolution found. Look forward to the photos of your build.

The main concern will be as already mentioned tyres. They will give way before any frame. I ride close to a 100kg somedays and the rear Marathon plus is somewhat less oval than the front, even when without rider. I also ride at 60-70 psi on both tyres. Recent I dropped a few kilos. However...

Welcome to a lighter you :)

250w motor shouldn’t present any problems. A detailed check and some maintenance will give away any weakness in the forks. A 250 watt motor won’t give concern on a well maintained bicycle.

The company that manufacturers those BMS have a video with their product underwater. Apparently it’s part of the QC and testing procedure. Been out on a few rides during monsoon weather, buckets of water falling from the sky. Once the battery did get wet and the wind that day I were forced to...

Thanks Nealth, that is exactly the solution a programmable BMS. Yes, the lower voltage on the 8 amp charger will confuse a standard BMS. I’ve also a battery bloc ordered. http://www.batteryblocs.com/ Awaits the VAT and customs documents and obligatory fees before collection. This should help...

Maximum charge I never viewed to be that straightforward. Panasonic cells 3c at 3400ma, or any quality 3c cell are surely rated for a large current inflow. And how short be a short life? I was expectation least a year of use given the 8 amp charger cuts off at 40.50 volts. Add to that I charge...

The controller on average draws 200-400watts this is read from the Sw900 LCD display. Does top 900 watts however, that situation is either when I’m heavy on the throttle, or on a short hill climb. The controller via the LCD Sw 900, set to draw a maximum of 11 amps. Just checked the cells...

At the moment the pack is one and would require a bit of work to dismantle. I accept there could be a problem with an individual cell. Also these LG MH 1 cells are probably not up to the level of amp output necessary. I was pushing the pack. 30-40kmh with several journies requirement of two...

I started with a 2amp charger and a budget priced 16 amp BMS. Then moved to that hereinafter pictured BMS, the seller claimed it to be water proof and capable of 60 amp input/output. I know now what damage fast charging does when your BMS, cannot handle the requisite draw down of higher voltage...

I personally wouldn’t choose a front hub, front forks few if any be designed to absorb the stresses of a hub motor. What about swapping over your exist sprocket onto a rear hub? I often carry a heavy daypack, although anything very heavy I’ve a cargo trailer.

I did note it’s only an 8 amp rated unit. Never seen a controller rated that low. Perhaps designed to fail? If all the wires external be cool to the touch then no short in a cable? As suggested try on higher PAS setting. Any component problem will soon display sooner unless designed to...

We await the photos and welcome.

I’d send you one of mine got two 2amp, 5amp, and recent 8amp all at 36v. NB. I’ve a 40Ah battery and never would suggest attempting to charge a 9Ah battery with anything above 2amps. What connector does your battery charger require. Lots of choices out there, sure one of the vendors will...

Now 2200kms ebiked.

Depends on the weight of the battery and condition of the roads. I regular break pannier racks and on my list is a custom made one. Local bicycle shop bought the best one yet and only cost ten leva, less than a fiver. Above a photo of the present rack in use. Given a few of the roads are 4x4...

Read a mention of nanny state. What does that make the Eu, given the insurance industry obvious been hustling them. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CONSIL:ST_9365_2018_ADD_1&qid=1530559444385&from=EN Page 69 “Several industry associations (linked with the bicycle...

I require some spare 16” 28 hole rims any sellers in the Uk, that will ship to Eastern Eu? Single wall alloy rims are fine. Double rim alloy also acceptable. Any colour, odd colours also. The trailer is attached to an Ebike hope that keeps the post on topic. Tried a search via all the usual...

1800kms covered!
