I bought a non electric mountain bike (non suspension) from my local bike shop a couple of years ago for £140, a Probike. It was actually £135, but I paid another fiver to have a stand fitted. Has given good service and continues to do so. Last year I fitted a Yose power front wheel kit. £170...

Found the thread: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/nvm-moscow-throttle.37343/ Might be worth talking to @jokskot

Das Kit stuff tends to be quite locked down. I have an older Das Kit controller and while it is possible to access settings by entering the code 8088, I don't get a setting for motor speed sensor setup. A while back (about 2 years?) someone in the technical section of the forum successfully did...

It doesn't look particularly well looked after, judging by the rust and general corrosion on that wheelset. I would be tempted, if removing it from the existing rim to put into another rim, opening it up and making sure it is properly greased inside and the clutch is in good condition. I...

The overall current draw of a properly functioning BMS (non-Bluetooth) in standby mode should be micro Amps, so it should take quite some time to drain a bank, even if it is drawing power only from one bank (I am sceptical about this arrangement, seems like very poor design. I also doubt that...

No, I was replying to Tony's post about his battery. Sorry if it caused confusion :)

Tony, could also be a BMS fault. @Nealh had a batch that would randomly discharge certain banks. Try experimenting with charging the pack up and leaving the BMS detached for a few days and see if the suspect bank keeps its charge or it drops as before.

Like the handlebars :) Much better for comfort and control on the roads. On my bike I wouldn't have the height for a suspension post. I would be worried about getting snake bite flats on hitting kerbs or pot holes, running at only 25 psi. 40 to 50 psi is about as low as I'd be happy to go. You...

Trouble is these days, when you retire you are then looking after frail elderly parents and also child minding the grand children so your kids can make ends meet.

I've heard it said that the trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off :D

Do you know what caused the punctures? I've done around 3k miles this year over all sorts of broken glass, pot holes etc and had nothing. I cycle typically 12 miles or more each way each day and I generally don't bother carrying a pump or a repair kit. Haven't had a puncture for years on the...

You've mentioned the midge problem, how about the ticks? There are so many deer in Scotland that spread them around. I have worries seeing the bike lying in long grass, where ticks like to lurk. I remember the last time I was there, it was a road trip. I walked through one small field of grass...

You could use a couple of 431s to create a voltage window sensor: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva987a/slva987a.pdf?ts=1686581531051&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

Yes, I had to drill out the existing washers from the old wheel to fit the larger diameter of the motor axle as they fill out the gap made by the "lawyer's lips" (as I think they are sometimes referred to :) ) and then the motor axle nut is seated properly.

Didn't he drop his phone on the road once which caused him issues on one trip? Maybe something like that has happened.

The problem we have is that society is failing these kids. Parents are not making sure their kids are brought up properly. Given ipads and electric motor bikes to shut them up, rather than showing love by spending time with them. An under resourced and staffed police force is then left to pick...

It's sensible to wear a helmet, BUT, don't assume it will offer much protection if in a collision with a car at 30 mph. Cycle helmets are only designed to protect you when falling from your bike and hitting the ground at speeds below about 10 mph. Also, while they protect the skull, they offer...

Front wheel and forks look back to front. I hope you have put the motor/wheel in the right way round with respect to the forks?

It's been done. Trouble is the legal motor limit is 250W. So unless you can find two 125W motors you are all too obviously breaking the law.

That's interesting. I didn't realise you could buy the controller separately. This LCD will only work with Yose power controllers. I broke one of my 250W controllers in one of my kits, so the LCD is now useless as it is not a true KT compatible system. However, a 350W Yose controller may be able...
