£109 is the cheapest I’ve seen.

Range is an issue with any performance e-bike. Delivery riders will need at least two batteries for a full shift if it is derestricted. I just watched a video of an upgraded Surron on a motor cross track getting creamed by 125cc and 250cc bikes. And his battery went flat after only 12 laps. It...

The Bafang 250 watt motor is very good. It’s my favourite motor because it’s so versatile.

Most manufactured bikes with integrated batteries look much better than kits, because cable routing and battery sits nicely within the frame. The problem comes when the controller or the battery needs replacing after a few years and when you try to buy one or the other you can find they are...

This is a fantastic video of a deliveroo and Uber eats rider using an Eskuta. Nice bike as well even though it does have the usual white wire that you can disconnect to make it go much faster. https://www.eskuta.com/

No it won’t it’s a completely different controller for a brushed motor. You will need a pulse width modulated controller. It is possible to run a brushed motor without using any controller at all, but it will run flat out. A PWM controller will give you speed control. Here is a simple tutorial...

I use a thin nylon cord to release them. Here are a few ways to do it without the tool.

Here is an article that you may find interesting to get you started. https://www.avdweb.nl/solar-bike/electronics/ku63-motor-controller There are experts on the Endless Sphere forum who delve deeply into the technical side of motors, controllers and batteries. E-bike technology is a...

It’s probably due to voltage sag on the 36 volt battery. When you ride it next keep an eye on the battery voltage. I think it’s sagging too low and the BMS is kicking in because of the higher current demand from the controller. You can limit the controller current to prevent this, but then it...

Yes brake binding makes sense with the current reading you initially got and 4.5A no load is much more sensible. If you are still running a 36 volt battery you will find range limitation a problem due to voltage sag. You could upgrade to a 48 volt battery with your new controller. Although...

The ammeter may be reading incorrectly.

Any one of them will work. Do a bit more testing before taking it out now that you have reconnected the pas. Try pas on no load and see if you get a speed reading. It will take several seconds to kick in because it has to count a certain number of magnet passes before it can do its...

I think all 3 will give the same result. Are you using a 36v or 48v battery? Just double check on the display to see how many watts it says when you are running at no load. 300 watts seems high to me no load. Edited: just realised the lcd05 doesn’t display watts.

Also with a more powerful controller you may find pas more manageable now because you can ghost pedal to get it to work. And adjusting C14 to 3 may also help.

If you don’t get a speed reading with P1 at 100 and P2 at 1 or 6 then try P1 at 87. If that still doesn’t work then you are on your own, because I have run out of ideas. Oh and I think you need to actually rotate the pedals for the speed to display. I don’t think you will get any reading if you...

It’s not worth trying any of the other combinations if it’s running smoothly. There are only 3 combinations that will work and it looks like you have found one of them. You still have to sort P1 and P2 out which is your next challenge. So ride it and see if the speed reading makes any sense...

Yes separate magnets for the speed sensor. They are located in the side cover.

P2 is the number of magnets in the motor that are used for the speed sensor, could be anything from 1 to 6 depending on the motor. P1 = The number of motor magnets divided by the gear ratio.

There is no need for the speed sensor wire to be connected. The halls in your motor take care of that on the KT controller. Your motor is either a bafang G020 or a clone. If it’s a G020 then P2 needs to be set to 6. If it’s a clone then you may have to fiddle with P1 and P2 to get it to run...

Interestingly, in France you can legally ride an electric skate board on the street at 50 kilometers per hour. And in the UK there is no legislation currently in place to limit the use of electric skateboards at all. In Austria you can legally ride a Marty McFly hoverboard. However you are...
