    Help! Changing throttle

    Evening, I'm looking to change my throttle from a wuxing 130x to a 108x as the 108 looks to be more waterproof. My handlebar configuration needs a left hand throttle. I managed to find a left hand but not from my controller supplier (topbikekit only supply RH version of 108x). When I connect...

    Toe clips

    Pedals with pins and proper rubber soled MTB shoes and your feet stick like they are glued on. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t tried it myself.

    Would it be hard to ride my e-bike while wearing filtered earplugs? Is it legal?

    Driving with headphones can be considered “driving without due care and attention” or even “dangerous driving” and can result in prosecution.

    VFR400, have you got your P1 and P0 reversed as it seems to contradict what it says in the manual? Of course the manual could be wrong !!

    Motor identification for controller settings

    Can anyone offer an explanation of how torque simulation mode is supposed to work? The chinglish in the manual is not clear to me. I’ve tried P3/0 and P3/1 and can’t seen any obvious difference! “P3 is power assist control mode setting, when P3 parameter setting is1, power assist control mode...

    Motor identification for controller settings

    Oh well, we live and learn. I’ll persevere with it and see how I get on. I can always change the LCD later if this one proves to be an issue. They’re not exactly expensive anymore

    Motor identification for controller settings

    Also strange, the manual says C2 goes from 0 to 8. I can only select 0 or 1 ?

    Motor identification for controller settings

    I guess so. The motor wire has 9 cores. I have changed C2 to 0 and this seems to have fixed things.

    Motor identification for controller settings

    So I fitted my new controller today and changed a couple of settings based on info from here. The motor seems to be very noisy and the throttle only works intermittently and is very jerky. Could somebody more knowledgable than me have a look at the settings and see if anything looks wrong?

    Motor identification for controller settings

    Thanks vfr. Is there anything in the number that will allow me to identify it so I can find the number ofmagnet poles / gear ratio to allow me to set the P1’s value? I’ve looked on the shengyi site and come up blank.

    Komoot ....Very impressed

    Looks like they charge per region now. They are quite big areas so not too bad as long as you aren’t on the border of several regions.

    Komoot ....Very impressed

    When I bought the full region unlock it was about £20 for the whole world. This allows you to download as many regions as you like (space permitting) so you can use the routes offline without using any data. Well worth it in my opinion.

    Volt Axis front light not working

    Volt are generally pretty good with customer service but can be slow with email response. You will get a faster response if you phone them. Did you buy directly from volt or via one of their ‘agents’? These are a network of local bike shops that provide warranty support for volt. If you have a...

    Ribble e bike security

    These lighter bikes can be easily ridden away without power. I don’t think disabling the power would be much of a security benefit or deterrent to a thief.
