HI and welcome.. Its a bit more complex.. but essentially yes a lot of the same motors are found on ebikes and emtbs. certain motors will be used by brands that will hold you to exclusive service/repair/maintenance contracts with dealers though. pretty much the same motors but you just get to...

Im surprised it kept rolling as long as it did, much better build quality than the bike featured in the US test vid that lost a wheel bearing alignment doodad? on a didy bump in the rd. ... lots more fun to watch too..

get a usb power meter, lots available and plug one inline with the dashcam to see how much power it draws. then you can do the maths to determine if a battery can last x minutes..

Rebuilding a wheel - Thanks to youtube step by step vids is so easy I mastered it within a week, and it only took a week due to my errors in spoke ordering (thanks amazon prime..) - However online spoke calculators do exist to stop you making my mistakes. You will make mistakes and have to...

ALL the Hints are above. For max power capacity buy a 'slow' 36v motor, supply it with power from a 48v battery and control system. KT (Ketung?) brand controllers are popular and topbike kit are a far east seller with a good rep in here. KT controllers provide ability to configure features...

loosing your bike to a random plod check isnt the biggest risk. Would you advise anyone you like even a little bit, to hop on a moped for daily use without an mot tax or insurance? Just like driving a motor vehicle thats dodgy if involved in any sort of incident with a 3rd party, if ridding a...

fitting and trueing spokes in a new rim is a doddle if your methodical about it, getting the right spoke size is the main hurdle, I got that wrong a few times so by the time the right size arrived I was well practiced and it took no time.. useing onlne spoke calculators might be a good idea...

Start from the beginning.. did all the aspects you mention come installed on your bike? or have you made changes to improve or fix an issue? if so what?.. Controllers and displays need to conform to the same communication protocols and formats, these can change from model to model and even...

Hi James - Bon Voyage ;) imho putting your name on a business selling? scooters is 'brave?' - sites down? so it may be a legit hire trial?? Or is it Brand as in selling ebike and escooter related stuff?? - good luck regardless.

Possibly ? ER Probably?? This is just theory on my part not based on direct experience with speed sensors My first stab at a solution would be to hack wire in the sensor from a $2-3 aliexpress bike computer as it will come with an easy to fix to a spoke magnet too ;) tho it migbt be a reed...

+1 generally speaking the ebike hub motors readily available fall into 2 categories: Geared hub motors that can be found upto500w perhaps a 750w rating. Direct drive 750w+ motors, more speed at the cost of torque to climb with.

any thinner data wires Not the 2 x thicker gauge power wires from a battery to a controller would indicate a requirement for a battery /controller handshake similar to but infinitely more problematic than any display issues. Motors generally have 9x connections 3 x thicker phase power wires(...

I dunno, Probably ;) a half hearted google led me here which sells d2 and d4 motors but only pictures the d4 motor connecting wires which are not terminated in the familiar 9 pin socket ;( - Since you have the d2 bike can you see if the motor is connected with automotive sockets as pictures...

Hi and welcome, E-bike control systems have 'evolved' in a particular way. such that displays and controllers often share a specific communication protocol and format. This changes from brand to brand and differences can even crop up within bike brands and model lines. SO the rule of thumb is...

As an E-eng you should appreciate that V x A = Watts and if you apply a 48v battery (max voltage 54v) with a say 17A controller the motor would have close to 1000Watts to expend ;) and as its only the motors continuous rating thats limited by the regs , so such a system is totally legal (if...

Imho invest £4-500 on the latest amazon special eu/uk legal ebike of the style you prefer and see how that rides for a start.. IF you find it lacking in any way post in here with a basic generic "bolt on" system its a doddle to 'Plug n play' different controllers/batteries to provide the hub...

For Hydraulic brakes the common solution is stick on hall sensors and magnets that get stuck to the underside of the levers, usually offered as an alternative kit option.

my limited experience is with hub drives only and with hub drives and separate controllers, over volting and over amping is just a shopping list of replacement components to bolt on and plug in, Mid drives however contain the controller pcb internally so your limited to software cracks to eek...

Yes to both, ( unless your bike has a perculiar BB and crank) BUT...... fwiw i upgraded my 7speed rear cassette to 8 speed when converting my bike, not a lot of hassle at the wheel end but the replacement 8 speed gear changer is a LOT stiffer than the original 7 speed, and i dont use the...

I agree with the above that in all but exceptional circumstances a bike that conforms with the regs can be configured for most situations. If determined for a mid drive solution a Woosh sourced TSDZ8 with its 250w stamp should provide ample power, Otherwise overvolting and overamping a 'slow'...
