Totally right Planemo, I've ridden a Trax full suspension (similar design) and the rear wheel had a lot of vertical movement. The controller might just get away from being squished, depending on whether that shock pivots down when the wheel is unloaded. There is no excuse on the other hand for...

Think you might be right about being throttle only. In some of the seller's other bike listings, they mention 'throttle operated' Seller's other electric bike listings There's no denying they have some very colourful bikes for sale :D

Nothing particularly special, but at this price would make a great commuter. Brand New 26" MUDDYFOX RECOIL 26 ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN BIKE DUAL SUSPENSION (Black)

Yep, these are the new version and are really very good. Fitted two a while back, run them at 35psi and they are well worth the money. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/schwalbe-marathon-plus-mtb-tyre-smartguard/rp-prod143787?gs=1&gclid=COu6q5j50swCFfUV0wodM4MFlQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

I bought a new programming cable for the BBSxx series of kits, after my previous lead mysteriously croaked it. Got it from Insat International's eBay shop, who are a respected company on this forum for electric bike stuff: Bafang Programming Lead for BBS01, BBS02, BBS03/HD 1.5m cable If you...

There's no doubt about that, and energy density is in their favour too. I would question whether they are much better value for money than 18650 packs though, as they have fewer charge cycles. I sometimes ride twice a day, so I need a battery system that I can quickly remove from the bike and...

If at any time you have laboured the motor in the wrong gear and at a high throttle or PAS level, then yes that can blow the controller. The motor and controller are happy when spinning fast. One full throttle start from standstill in top gear can be all it takes to kill the controller. I'm...

The only way you will know how it's programmed is to use the cable. 30mph+ is definitely achievable, if you are running an original 48T chainring and certain parameters are set fairly high. I can just reach 30mph on my 48v 750w, with parameters higher than factory, but I'm only running a 42T...

I know this may only help the tiniest amount, but you could try moving the seat forward along the rails, so there's more weight forward of the seat tube.

This thread wasn't intended to witch hunt that particular seller. Everyone starts somewhere, but a conversion with 3D printed battery holders and LiPos, suggests they are more than just starting out. I suppose everyone has there own level of how comfortable they are in being a responsible...

Ooooh, totally overlooked that, naughty naughty :mad: Cable disc brakes at the very least, hydraulics preferable.

Perusing eBay today, I came across this electric bike for sale: ebike - bafang 48v + 16ah Lithium + NEW P850C Colour Display Now I could be wrong, but the batteries the bike has attached to it look like RC LiPos. Potential buyers who are already clued up on LiPos, will know that they require...

No, that wouldn't be a viable option. Best bet is try to deal with traction issues on your current set-up, which I think can be minimized by fitting more suitable tyres.

26 x 2.0 will be fine ;)

If the tyres you've got on are some cheap knobbly MTB ones, then you might get better traction using a more road specific MTB tyre. Scwalbe Land Cruisers are a good compromise between road grip, loose surface bike path grip and price. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/schwalbe-land-cruiser-mtb-tyre-26/

Should be covered under warranty. Try contacting the vendor you bought it from.

What symptoms you got? Sometimes the brake cut-offs can cause issues, so disconnect them and see if that cures the problem.

Why not drop BGA-reworking (aka INSAT International) a line, and see if they can refill your pack. They might be able to fill it with new lithium-ion batteries instead, for a similar price to the German supplier.

Completely solder the shunt... me... ok, so I went a bit overboard lol. You'll know when you go over the top, coz the motor stutters and makes weird noises. Even when shunt modded correctly, it doesn't make it go any quicker, which is what's to be expected. It does however hold it's top speed...

The shunt mod, using the existing 24v battery, will shorten the battery's life considerably. It's very difficult to mod the shunt accurately. Too much solder and bang goes the controller. You could end up potentially drawing 2C from a battery that not only contains cheap generic cells, but was...
