    Pretigo 350w ebike can it go faster?

    There's an old ad for one on FB that shows that bike uses a Yolin YL70E display. Those are preconfigured at the factory to each manufacturers specs my manual says based on 3 core versions (although I know there have been other variants added since my manual). According to my manual for it, only...

    Pretigo 350w ebike can it go faster?

    You probably mean Petrigo? Petrigo currently make 59 different e-bike models, each of which can be specified with different motors, controllers, displays. You're going to need to be far more specific as to which you're talking about - either give a link or post photos.

    Evora folding bike

    Seeing as Bicycles4u don't exist anymore, you may find something similar on ebay/Ali that'll work. There are a few combined throttle/3-LED battery display/on-off switch assemblies there for scooters/ebikes. You'd first need to check and maybe change the wiring sequence with a bit of...

    Flyer Uproc4 8.70 missing settings

    Many makers now tend to lock-out features that may once have been available to stop users messing with them. For example, the Wheel Size setting; the "circuit board on the motor" (i.e. the controller) would have been programmed at the factory for the wheel size fitted to your bike. The only...

    Estarli e28.8 derestrict

    I don't know for sure, but from what little I do know about Estarli my bet would be that they'll have the system locked to stop you doing that.

    Camera advice needed

    Same here... a short 6" lead from my displays micro-USB directly into the camera keeps it running all the time. I suppose if you haven't got a 5v USB at the handlebar an external power-pack might be an answer, because I'm not aware of any action-camera that can run for much longer than 2 hours...

    Tranzx 6 magnet RPM sensor (back removed)

    Isn't that TranzX's M25 motor? IIRC that was notoriously unreliable, so much so it was routinely/frequently replaced in the US and didn't stay in production very long. Have you had the bike(s) tested using TranzX's Logix plug-in diagnostics? I doubt you'd be able to fathom much without it, and...

    Fiido

    Yes... One of my e-bikes is a Fiido D11 which I've owned from new since mid 2021. It's been good/reliable. Which model(s) are you looking at and for what purpose?

    Landlords and insurers clamping down on e-bikes in tenancy agreements

    I've just read through a new Tenancy from last year, and there's nothing mentioned there save for a condition to abide by any restrictions in the insurance. I've a new Tenancy going through at the moment, so I'll take a read through that when it comes through. These things do constantly update I...

    Carrera Crossfire

    Trust me here, because this is intended to be helpful to you... If you want help, you need to turn down the attitude. @saneagle knows the information you need is on this forum because he wrote it (and I remember reading it). As an ex-e-bike mechanic, he knows more about your bike than anyone...

    Eleglide T1 step-through

    I saw one chained to a bike-rack in town last week. It's been discussed here before so I had a closer look. I thought it looked pretty respectable for a sub-£1000 e-bike. As already mentioned though, you need to consider what you do if/when it goes wrong. I don't know anything about how Eleglide...

    Yose Power Triangle Battery Recall

    That's conventional electricians logic... A standard UK ring main today is wired with 16A 2.5mm copper PVC insulated, fused at 32A. In the 1960's/70's there was a period where the UK wired that same circuit with 1.5mm copper MINERAL insulation and still fused at 32A. In other words, a 1.5mm...

    BMS issue possibly

    If you can't wake it, I doubt it's worth bothering wasting too much time on it when you can buy a brand new replacement with perky cells for about £150 from Yose (it's this one I think). It's higher capacity at 10.4Ah against your worn 8.6Ah too. It depends how you value/measure the worth of...

    Wisper Paint Codes?

    Any competent car body shop can mix any colour you like to a 100% perfect match even allowing for colour fade through age. You won't get it in an aerosol though (and that's a bad idea anyway 'cos a metallic will look as flat as a fart unless it's a two-coat and properly baked/cured), and...

    Yose Power Triangle Battery Recall

    It seems we're all qualified electricians here... you're applying the rules of domestic 240v AC installation to what is, in electricians speak, a low-voltage SELV DC application. Those BS7671 rules don't apply here. Even so, as you already know, fuses trip at different speeds, and these wires...

    Raleigh Talus IE - Electric not working

    It looks to me as if the Torque Sensor has been broken off when the chain came off. Good news is that it's a Suntour part, not specific to Raleigh. Spares are available on ebay here in the UK - you'd need to check your own US sources. Google "Suntour HESC Torque Sensor" and you should find the...

    De restrict for off road use

    But the Police would need just cause... either they measured the rider at an above acceptable speed, strongly suspected that, was riding in a pedestrian only precinct/on pavement, or he was riding like a total lunatic and putting others at risk. It'd be odd to just randomly stop someone who was...

    De restrict for off road use

    Yes, but you need to draw a line in the sand somewhere. 1.5mph over the limit is as illegal as 28mph. A standard needs to be enforced however trivial it may seem; If even 1.5mph can land you in trouble with the law, maybe that clamp-down and publicity provides a warning to the...

    BMS issue possibly

    It very much depends on the year of manufacture. Early ones were made in China, later ones in different countries and were equipped with different batteries from different manufacturers. As Neal mentions, there's a sleep mode to save depletion when not being used. How you wake up the battery...

    Battery Weight vs Range... a dilemma

    What current limit are you running your BBS at? I know you also have "keep current" at 100% which for me (having tried) is too much/wasteful, and kill these current batteries in no time. IIRC mine's about 40% (I need to check) but that's fine for me. What battery capacity/cells/current settings...
