    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Hi Saneagle, I wired the 10k pot using the juliet plugs, plugged it in the between the existing throttle plug an controller socket and the throttle operation was not operative and the potentiometer allowed some various speeds randomly with the speed on the display showing 3mph when it appeared...

    Help! Legal e-bike kit recommendations

    When the calcs of the loadings on my forks was calculated I recall the engineer quoted the stated 40Nm of torque and saying he adding the 2:1 FOS, due to potential power outputs and engineering discrepancies? I should have mentioned that if others reading this thread want to fit a torque arm...

    Help! Legal e-bike kit recommendations

    I have purchased two of the Yosepower front hub kits, one for my trike and one for bike. They both have 250w 36v motors with a standard set 15mph limit Which can be tweaked. The only thing that makes it illegal is the throttle takes you to 15mph but Saneagle has kindly supplied me a way of of...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Hi Saneagle, I’ve noticed on the Juliet plugs and sockets I have sourced that the three cables are black, red and blue. Not wishing to assume where these go I was thinking of inserting the plug into the controller socket and checking the black and red are respectively live and ground and...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Just to make sure I have understood the introduction of a 10k potentiometer is this the connection method? I have used identical Juliet connectors to save spicing into the existing throttle wires.

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    One advantage about the KD21C that came with my Yosepower kit is that you have the option of PAS settings 0-5, 0-7 and 0-9 and the power percentage within each level can be customised. The thumb throttle irrespective of these setting remains unchanged ranging from 0-15 mph. Using the the...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Thanks very much for this, as this seems an ideal solution. The illustration in your older post is good, as even with my limited electrical knowledge I can understand and replicate it. Sadly, walk in shops such as Maplins and Tandy’s disappeared off the high street some years ago, as they were...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    I had a look at KT controllers and displays but they don’t seem to allow much adjustment of the levels of pedal assist as my current set up does. Seeing as the main issue with my current set up is that the throttle goes from 0 to 15mph which is illegal in the uk i’m wondering if some resistors...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Thanks for that. Forgive my ignorance, but to make sure I’m understanding this right, I take the existing luishi controller out of the existing battery holder and solder in a replacement KT controller? Would the existing KD12C display work with the Kt controller or would I need to change the...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Thanks for feedback. So from what I understand I would need to replace the existing battery mount that has the integrated lishui controller and source a plain battery mount with a pos and neg wire to supply a replacement controller and source a display suited the replacement controller. The...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    The kit I have has a lishui controller which is integrated with the battery docking unit and a KD21C display. It does have a walk assist mode by pressing the - button but it’s only enough power to power the bike and not with my fat @rse on it. which display would one need with a KT controller...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    I have a yosepower 250w 36v kit which servers my needs but would like to be able to limit the thumb throttles speed from the standard 15mph to say 6mph so as to be somewhere near the legal 4mph limit. i don’t have the electrical expertise you guys have so it would need to be something simple. I...

    Yose power - front wheel kit

    Velcro’s ties are wider than cable ties but look no worse to my mind. You could use reusable cable ties so no need for scissors when removing them. Once you’ve trimmed the reusable ties to length, dress the cut end with a file or sand paper so there’s no sharp end to cut yourself on when you...

    Cheap Comfortable Saddle

    Thanks for the links. Both wide saddles look nice and wide. What complicates matters is that the support that runs across the rear springs has to be arched as the seat post on the bike has a lever that is lifted upwards to tilt the seat forward so the battery can be removed. The solution might...

    Cheap Comfortable Saddle

    Anyone know where I can get a fat @rse well sprung wide well padded saddle for my new e-bike?. I’ve purchased a couple online but none are as soft and well sprung as the old saddle I have on my trike..

    Adjusting PAS levels of assist on Engwe EP2-Pro

    I have am Engwe L20SE, 250 w, 36v folding step thru and that doesn’t allow the PSA percentages to be changed either. Im not bothered about going beyond the legal 25 kph, I just want the to be able to select 7 PAS settings and equal out the power settings to get a smother transition as I work up...

    Adjusting PAS levels of assist on Engwe EP2-Pro

    Hi paul, I’ve read these posts with interest as I’ve not long purchased an Engwe L20SE, 250 watt and I’ve the same issue with not having an option to change the PAS power output settings. In fact there isn’t even the option to change the default 5 PAS settings to 7 or 9 levels but only managed...

    Specify best conversion outcome for same cost as Argos recent bargains

    My brother in law bought an opollo 26” mountain bike for £160 from Halfords as he wanted a bike he could convert to an E-bike. Bearing in mind he just wanted to cycle from a-b for some exercise, this bike did him as he wasn’t going to do any actual mountain biking. he bought the same e-bike kit...
