Not a problem, just a feature of the rough and ready led indicators used on battery packs.. as said above use a multi meter or dedicated voltage meter to read actual battery charge levels..

+1 to the above, disconnecting the throttle cable from the controller will have no detrimental effects. Its simply the same as riding the bike without touching the throttle. no throttle signals so no throttle controlled output ;) Then your bike will conform to the regs and you can ride on the...

See no trump, Hear no trump, and most definitely don't speak ANY trump.. Needs to be Everybody's mantra moving forward imho

fwiw small print i missed the schwalbe tyre guarantees apply to black rubber only, get cream (see icon) or any other colour than black marathon tyres and they are not the same and are not under the same warranty, (extra extra small print on the packaging.... ) - Still ive not had punctures...

While throttle control is on out opf the box with a KT controller, the PAS is not (well mine wasn't) and will require sensor selection and enabling, RTFM ;) if the chenglish isnt too clear on the sensor type.. just cycle through the 5 or so options until one hits ..

If unavailable through home contents cover, consider switching insurers?? otherwise iirc it was circa £8-10 per £100 insured per annum for a 'specialist' policy..

Hi Paul.. Perhaps describe your expected bike use, and range requirements. Mid drive bikes certainly have a market, however the cheaper and more reliable hub drives can in many situations provide a working solution without mid drive complications and costs (chain/gear wear etc) For reliable...

YIKES!! Thanks @chris_n and @matthewslack for catching my slack.. Your recent pic indicates that the inner terminals are in use so I was VERY WRONG in MY speculation.. In my defence i was speculative..

Only do work your happy doing.. though if you take a screwdriver to the bike controller terminals as you remove it, what i am trying to convey may make more sense?? a (£10 soldering iron could be useful down the rd too ) I have bought batteries from greenlance.co.uk - they always have a...

I seem to recall an old Tom Stanton Youtube with a supercap powered ebike that debunked the idea pretty convincingly.

indeed it looks as if the right most socket is missing 1/2 its connecting springs Frequently with 4x battery terminals 2x feed the +ve and 2x feed the -ve, And these are not always connected at the bike side with only one of each terminal employed. .. SO If your battery provides power via all...

sand paper or a file can clean off both the prongs pictured and the on bike contacts too, you may also need to re-bend the on bike contacts carefully too if they have been damaged by the sparking. In future if your battery has an on/off switch, turn off the battery before connecting to the bike...

If I wasnt a large chap atop a bike that elevates head height to circa 8ft and a deep gravelly voice from years of chain smoking, perhaps.. as is the comically inoffensive but piercing effect of the bell does a fine job of alerting folk without eliciting a scream or them jumping out of their...

The manual pddf for your display should be available at the end of a google search the chenglish isnt too bad ;) If the settings dont take then as suggested above the contrroller isnt likely to be a stock system. - a further circa £40 on a replacement KT controller running stock f/w and the...

I found a cheap ebay kit for just over a tenner that made short work of the included ally rivnuts but needed a bit extra oomph to close on the stainless steel fittings i had also bought, If wanting to use SS frequently a tool using more mechanical advantage would be better but for 1x or 2x ss...

As said above you have fallen foul of a dodgy ad campaign returning the bike for a full refund would be the best solution so you can buy a conformant bike. If you paid by CC and its a fraudulant ad you might have some protection that way?? Ebay will sell you a 250w sticker to place over your...

its the 4x abreast + numerous orbiting toddlers with visible ire when reminded to move by a lil tinkle of a distant bell that get my goat. oddly the kids smile as the adults scowl, even as i slow right down. How audacious am i trying to use a cycle track with a bike.. And the meal made of...

If its just a comfort issue and better braking thats throwing a damper on your ride? May i suggest a suspension seatpost (#1 still on my wish list..) And a front disk brake might be worth the investment even if it requires new forks and a wheel.. (also on my wishlist ) . Then again when you...

Not the easiest site to search/navigate, but topbikekit has a broad range of KT controllers in various form factors but afaik only the generic silverbox style come with a dual voltage feature.. You will need to memorise/look up the reconfig procedure to inform the controller you have switched...

imho give your self a week or so with the stock yose-power kit, while i found it initially different from expectations based on m/cycle ridding once used the the nuances of power restricted pedal assistance are easy to live with and accommodate becoming 2nd nature. You can source a KT...
