    Rear hub motor cutting out after stopping

    ebay or ali-express for the cheapest Chines direct import 1-20 weeks,, tho these days they give honest delivery estimations.. you just have to read them.. 'Pas sensor' is enough to start a search ;) Some controllers need the pas sensor identifying in the settings usually by magnet count, so...

    Electric conversion kit or peddle assist

    Offroad is beyond my scope of reference, but due to the way the regs are written there is no need to break them to buy fit and run a powerful system. Granted there is currently not a lot of interest in checking out ebikes atm but it only takes one right wing nutter to suggest e-bikers eat...

    Home made pedelec

    If the changes made to enable the Amazon vehicles was to include 4 wheelers within the pedelec classification, then no, But I would also expect the first copper to spot you to pull you over too. So i would have a laminated copy of the relevant regs and amendments at hand to show em. The first...

    Electric conversion kit or peddle assist

    do you mean, "Can an electric conversion kit be set to pedal assist only without the Throttle?" Then - YES, In fact many kits aimed at the eu/uk market are regulation compliant out of the box, some frustratingly locked in that state too. A throttle when included or connected will work at upto...

    Rear hub motor cutting out after stopping

    The static part of the pas sensor looks damaged to me? I have 2 x similar sensors fitted to bikes, both have the sheet steel aspect fitting flush to the plastic sensor housing, In the above pic the sensor housing looks as if its been snagged and pulled off on one side..? my partial ( and...

    Is this bike any good?

    Argos sale prices have set a very low price bar in the back of my mind.. A future vintage British built? bike may have some extra value? I would ask the seller to charge the battery in advance of the 'check it over visit' and take a meter to read the fully charged battery voltage as an...

    Pavement

    I frequently use the pavement on roads where there is a tight pinch point and big busses etc. 1 stretch occupied by a bus stop is outside a cop shop, as long as i slow right down and give way to anyone on foot no one minds. Just remember that the pavement is for those on foot so always give...

    Phylion battery query

    Does the charger require a connected BMS to charge? if not could you test the logic voltage level of pins 4, 5 and their state? Could OP then bodge inputs on those pins to 'crack' the bms?

    Electric conversion kit or peddle assist

    When ridding an ebike you may decide to let the motor do most or all the work a little more than optimal for your fitness regime, but your not sat on the couch your up n active and at worst ghost pedalling which is still activity.. So the level of benefit you get depends on your resolve...

    Hailong HL1 36v Batteries - on/off switch - yes or no?

    any vape shops locally? they will have a range of chargers for cells, not ideal but a bit of solder and a bit extra flux should let you solder wires onto the charger terminals (edit or crocodile clip wires..) .. probably pick a single cell charger with usb input for less than a fiver.. but it...

    Help please Noise

    search ebay for complete hall sensor pcb's, you may well find a match for your pcb for just a couple of quid more which would make for a easier soldering job if not confident in that area. you may find the sensors/pcb 'glued' down, if gentle persuasion with a non metallic 'soft' plastic lever...
