    Argos E-Move - Anyone have any experience with these bikes?

    The 'built in' look of many e-bikes will frequently bite the buyers in the wallet when it comes to battery replacement when only one style will fit and is either no longer available or costs 2,3x or more than a comparative battery using top quality cells.

    10S BMS balance wiring

    A link to the seller and item or a photo of the cell ID info usually found printed on its exterior to enable identifying the cells and their specifications would be a big help. the cell id printed on the wraps is partially visible in one of your pics above.. The set of cells produced in china...

    Fixing older wheel & controller, are all hub motor transistors similar?

    how many wires in the brake sensor connections?? if only 2x the 2.5v could be the NOT grounded floating voltage?? if the controller label has (Brake:Low) on it it would indicate the brake cut off is grounded to invoke. I doubt the 24v controller mosfets would be tolerant of 48v if the higher...

    Testing (rear wheel) motor

    Fwiw i conducted a VERY BRIEF pre fit motor test by holding the wheel axle in a bench vice clamping tight on the two flat surfaces to secure the wheel. Without securing the wheel axle the hub will just spin within the wheel twisting all the wires until something is either pulled or more likely...

    Advice on buying an E-Bike

    Basic pas control is simply speed limited so you get full power until the speed cap for each pas level is reached.. It can be counter intuitive to start with - messed me up a bit at least.. but it only takes a few outings to get used to it and a simple crack of either brake lever is just...

    10S BMS balance wiring

    Use a meter and the continuity setting to determine which end pin is connect3ed to common ground, and that will indicate the connection for the 'black wire'

    Three wire Bms to two, is it possible?

    Fwiw, Small aerosol pump spray bottles sold full of spectacle cleaning fluid are solvent resistant and can contain and spray 99% iso-propanol. And this is the perfect delivery method to get the glue releasing solvent into the nooks and crannies' of such containers as a battery box... spray...

    No Manual or Instructions

    A kt controller/display combo would probably sort you out very quickly and with its easily accessible manual help you id any error codes displayed (if any). Your looking at a further circa £100 outlay but will have a dependable control and interface system on your bike.

    Odd charger behaviour

    well your in luck its all Very well documented most of us are content living with a few more 'black boxes' in our comprehension of the world.. I was simply intimidated by a multimeter and its range of oblique settings when i first laid my hands on one.. If plagued with a non technical arty...

    Odd charger behaviour

    Virtually everyone who picks up a meter for the first time is when they want to know a battery or other DC voltage value.. I think it was over 5yrs after i first picked one up when other features started getting used.. You could alternatively buy basic battery volt meter as sold by ebay etc...

    nut size

    Perhaps the machine screw/bolt used is too long and bottoming out in the spindle/axle before clamping tight, or perhaps some rubbish is blocking the hole or thread?

    PAS for Sprocket Rotation-query.

    btw if you just need to bulk up the diameter of the hollowtech axle, gaffer tape is a pretty easy tear to fit the width and wind on solution thats gonna be 'weatherproof' for long enough for a proof of concept trial if not longer ;)

    PAS for Sprocket Rotation-query.

    Pretty sure your magnet ring and sensor will be fine, if your lcd manual and Chenglish comprehension are similar to mine it might just be easier to cycle through the 4 or 5 pas sensor options to test than trying to understand the manual. just try to mount the ring 'straight' and the sensor so...
