You can test the reed switches using your multimeter set to ohms and a couple of paper clips slotted into the red brake connector. Pull the lever and if the circuit either opens or closes then the reed switch is activating. That’s one of the things you can do safely without any power connected...

It probably deserves it after 4000 miles. Check to see if it is a freewheel or cassette before ordering. I have a feeling it is a freewheel, which are most common on older small hub motors, because they are much cheaper to manufacture. Their website is confusing. The spec sheet says it has a...

What I do like about your bike is it was built by a reputable company that is still in business manufacturing your model today. Rather than a fly by night company hoping to make a quick buck by buying a load of second rate bikes and selling them on.

Then go for a BBSHD. I bought mine from here: https://custombuilt-ebikes.co.uk/ But be aware that this motor is very powerful and you really have to be mindful of your braking performance. Also you have to consider the torque it will impose on your transmission. It produces 160 NM of torque...

It’s not a Lishui, it’s an Ananda. I thought it was Lishui at first because of the display. It’s not easy to test with waterproof connectors. You really have to do it with the controller opened up so you can prod on the right pins. Although if you start prodding on the wrong pins with the wrong...

Yeah, good choice, I’m not sure your brakes and gearbox will cope with 1000watts. Woosh has a good reputation for supplying road legal e-bike kits, both hub and mid mount, so you have a choice between bafang and tongsheng depending upon if you want cadence or torque pedal assist. If you are a...

Depends what you are after. Do you want a road or off road kit?

It doesn’t look like it has been hacked about and Ananda is proper motor/controller manufacturer. Even Smartmotion are still in business. It’s not possible to diagnose what’s going on without a multimeter to check voltages across pins and continuity of the cables. And it’s even harder when you...

I’m guessing a bit here, but that looks like a Dashi display which is compatible with a Luishi controller. The controller may be integrated into the battery holder. If it is then the good news is all of this stuff is cheap to replace.

First of all try to identify what motor and what controller you already have. Again photographs posted on here help.

You may run into problems trying to connect the switch battery to anything else apart from a switch controller. It’s integrated into the connection module and I think it’s potted, so unless you can dig out the potting and remove the controller to access the battery connections inside the...

Crikey, that’s had a hard life. It looks like the cover for the rear brake switch is missing, does the switch operate properly?

Some controllers have the facility for brakes high or brakes low to operate. As an example, brakes high need 5v to the input to cut the motor and brakes low need 0v to the input to cut the motor. So that’s another thing to check if you have a multimeter. Are you able to post a photo of the...

Maybe someone has been messing around with the wiring and connected the throttle connector to the brakes and brakes connector to the throttle.

Are you aware of the main difference between a bafang and tongshen mid drive? Both are available from reputable uk suppliers and Woosh sells both kits. If you prefer cadence pedal assist go for the bafang, but if you prefer torque assist then go with the tongsheng.

The problem is if you use a front hub motor you will lose your front brake. And a rear hub motor loses both the gears and the brake. I guess it’s why Pashley recommend you to use the BBS02 mid drive.

For my motor I set P1 to 100 after looking up the specifications because the SWX02 motor has 20 magnets and a 5:1 gear ratio. Then I set P2 to 6 because the spec says 6 pulses per wheel cycle. I also set the wheel diameter to 29” because that’s the real diameter of the tyre when fitted, not the...

That’s funny, my front disc squeals like a pig also. I’ll have to have a look at mine to see if it’s on backwards as well. I do like your springer forks. But to upgrade mine to an S will cost £300 https://michaelblast.co.uk/product/greaser-springer-kit/

You will probably have a compatibility issue with all of the connectors to the controller. When I modified my Greaser I bought a JST connector kit from eBay so I could interface the existing wiring to the KT controller. This is what NealH is referring to as SM (small block) wiring as opposed to...

I have just been browsing eBay and there are a lot of nasty bikes being advertised. These companies are just laying in wait for unsuspecting people to hit the buy it now button.
