Yes mine is the same, I am not sure why they have not used the same system for both wheels.

Nice pic George.

Neither am I, if I tried one of those jumps I'm pretty sure I would end up breaking a leg. Very good clip though, those two guys were extremely skilful riders.

I don't think he needs to worry about motor resistance and back EMF etc. If I have understood what he has written correctly. The fuse keeps blowing even with ALL the wires to the motor disconnected. Therefore unless proven otherwise (ie. two different faults on his bike) we can at the moment...

It was only recently that I found out you are allowed to ride a mountain bike up Snowdon. Richard Parks did it as part of his Extreme Wales series on the BBC. I think you are only permitted to use one route and you have to stick to certain times of the day (7pm to 7 am I think). I don't yet...

I think there is a slight typo here. I think this line should say:- to lift 1kg 1m it takes 1 joule of energy.

Terrific post d8veh thanks for writing it. I need to read it again to make sure I take it all in, but I really like posts like this, keeps the old grey matter ticking over.

I am exactly the same, I wont go out on mine if it's raining, if it looks like rain, or if the roads are wet lol.

Nice report Covkid, good to hear you are very happy with your bike. How many miles have you done so far? Doing 20 miles a day commuting the mileage will rack up fairly quickly I'm sure.

Nice set of pics Behjhamin thanks for posting.

Is it possibly to disconnect all the wires going to the motor? If so then once you have done that then operate all the switches (ignition, throttle etc.) to see if the fuse blows. If it does then at least you will have eliminated the motor as the probable cause (unless your really unlucky and...

The OP said each time he replaced the 13 A fuse it blew straight away. That would not happen with just 14 amps flowing through the fuse. There must have been a lot more than that amount of current flowing to cause the fuse to blow as soon as the switch was closed.

As a last resort would it be possible to break open the ignition lock assembly and work out what connections are made or broken when the key is turned. I know you haven't got a key, but by breaking the thing open you might be able to circumvent the need for a key, and hence might be able to...

The part number you posted in the previous post is the number they have for the ignition switch. Is that the number that is actually on the switch and not the number they have used in their wiring diagram. This is just a stab in the dark but I would doubt that they would make the ignition...

Please don't do this, the fuse is the weak link in any circuit. The idea being if there is something wrong (short circuit for example) the fuse will blow before any damage can occur to the circuit (either wiring or components).

In your place I think I would try the following. Make a note of the make and model number of the ignition switch. Search on line for the ignition switch and hopefully get hold of a drawing showing the actual make and break connections of the rotary switch. Armed with that diagram you should...

Fuses have a fusing factor (number usually greater than 1) for example an old rewireable fuse had a fusing factor of 2. This meant that a 15 amp rewireable fuse would not blow until 30 amps was passing through it. I can't remember the fusing factor for cartridge fuses used in plug tops but I...

Nice set of pics Dom T, sounds like you had a great day out today.

Did my first off road ride yesterday. Rode up to Aber Lake (Llyn Anafon), near the small village of Abergwyngregyn. I would never now be able to ride up to this lake on a 'normal' bike, but on the Cube it was relatively easy. Didn't even get out of breath (used turbo mode most of the way)...

I would probably spend a little more time looking at this option, there are some extremely knowledgeable people on this site who could give you a lot of help if you decide to go down the converting route.
