    Controller wire identification

    Fwiw my approach would be a google image search for the brand of controller and the keyword "pinout" Below the battery phase and motor sensor wires separated to the top of the image, you have the plug with the blue/white wires coming out into a seperate plug, this i suspect is the key switch...

    Replacement controller sought / advice sought

    One of the features of the KT controller range is the ability to use a number of different interface devices, and when a lcd dispaly is used you can also use it to configure and check the controller status, as well as get error codes in cases of failure.. It might be prudent to get a kt lcd...

    Raleigh Stow-e-way (stoweway) - Very slow and barely doing any assist

    Starting upwards on an incline Is the worst possible scenario for an ebike, and will stress/tax the motor the hardest/worst. but as long as your pedaling in a low enough gear to rotate the pedals easily the assistance should be noticeable and helpful!.. Even so your initial reaction to a new...

    Hub motor identification

    Just be mindful some hubs have speed and hall sensors fitted others just hall sensors and some are sensorless, If not explicitly stated the number of connecting wires is a good indicator, 9 wires = 3xphase wires +5v ,ground(to supply sensors with power) , 3x hall sensor outputs and 1 x speed...

    New to electric bikes - advice

    Indeed the brake lever motor cut off is an instant OFF for the motor while there is a delay between stopping pedaling and the motor cutting off. Also negotiating obstacles in the rd can sometimes benefit from cutting the power momentarily while you snake past obstructions where power from the...

    New to electric bikes - advice

    In addition to the controller/display you will also want a pas cadence sensor, and probably at least one brake sensor, to kill the motor when brakes are applied. an additional wiring loom to extend controller connections to the handlebars may also be required. some pas sensors can require the...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Thanks.. I looked into it a Long time ago, my roof /house faces almost dead east and was initially advised only the south facing slope of the roof was suitable for panels. As any panels on the east or west facing slopes would only work in the morning or afternoon?? Thus at the time the benefit...

    Head and tail lights kit.

    Yes BUT you need to be mindful of the current limit of the transistor switching the light circuit on and off. If you attempt to draw more current than the transistor can handle you risk blowing it and any knock-on or side effects that may have on the controllers performance. Its a lot safer...

    Faulty battery ?

    Problem with the window looking out at my ebike ;)

    Cheers, I have watched a few youtubes.. the problem is the frames have 2 sets of hinge screw holes already?? bad 1st fit?? and the usual technique of fitting to the corner edge requires new holes/screw positions that will result in zero support/holding capacity without repair of the upvc or...
