    Help! Looking for help with SVZIX e-bike

    Your best bet for such a schematic is a google based on the details provided on the controller label. that looks like a bit more than the standard 4 into 1 and 5 into 1 julet conectiong cable? if your bike has lights powered/switched through the controller that could explain the extras?? but...

    Which controller kit do i buy?

    confirm the waterproof fittings type on your bike, often they are not the usual julet or bafang higo but slightly differing variations. the drawback with the 'waterproof' fittings comes if you have an electrical issue. Both the bikes the plugs and sockets present difficulties for testing with...

    Broken digital display

    ebay or its alternatives are probably the best source for a cheap volt meter (£2-3) or you could get a more detailed DC power meter for £12+ (ebay search 'dc volt meter 60v') ebay search ' dc power meter 60v' But you may need to retain the 'broken' display and keep it attached as generally...

    Fitting yose power

    Sounds just like my yose experience, when in use its either pas 3,4 or 5, the settings 1 and 2 simply cut out too soon even if in a low gear, I find i use cracking the rear brake lever a tad to cut the motor on occasion a much more handy and intuitive means of motor control.

    Ebike News

    my lay understanding is that with a criminal conviction any civil suit for damages is a sure thing win.. even a jobless 17 yr old with plans to go bankrupt a few times wont find it easy to shake of a liability judgement?- But then again ive been spoon fed fairy tales of poetic justice by tv etc...

    KT LCD Screens

    Ahh for some reason i thought you had a shop front?? selling on ebay is a different thing entirely so ignore my 'sales insights' above.. best thing is to rely on your own aesthetic and fit what you think suits the style of the bike.. that way the overall look/feel of the bike should be...

    KT LCD Screens

    If selling on, I would consider buying in a few different styles as some will prefer a minimal aesthetic over real time info display and visa versa.. And offering a selection (at real-ish cost) while costing an initial overhead could speed /ease a number of sales down the rd.. - no bike sales...

    Yose Power Hub- need a new rim!

    TAKE CARE OF EVERY NIPPLE!!! All the spoke sets i have bought (too many) come with exactly 36x spokes and nipples NO spares or extra's. Hands n knees time maybe? If available i would expect them to be defined by the spoke gauge ? It seems bike engineer 101 maybe NEVER LOOSE A...

    Yose Power Hub- need a new rim!

    Get some tape and block off all the unused castellations on your spoke tool ( top of pic) , It will save you LOTS of frustration.. I see your spoke by spoke replacement strategy, but suggest instead you strip the one rim and lace the new one in two steps instead, fwiw i used 3x plant pots, 1x...

    Question regarding E bike purchasing

    Welcome, So the UK/EU regs dont apply :) Endless-sphere.com is a more US centric site for all things EV, with lots of ebike chatter and a wealth of local knowledge. Costco had a $399 special recently iirc.

    Windgoo B20

    Perhaps a battery without a safety critical flaw might be a healthier option? the basic bolt on hailong form factor is widely available. If the widgoo b20 employs any form of restrictive battery coms however you may find it easier to simply replace the control system (£50-100) too.
