Welcome.. and congratulations on arriving here before you have bought a bike ;) What sort of routes will you ride? length/distance needed to travel without a recharge? any monster hills? etc.. Cany you change a tyre/fix a puncture if needed? If you own a comfortable to ride bike and it has...

Not a legal solution without getting your bike tested and certified, But you could try running the bike headless without pas and just by throttle control alone. remove the display and short the controller connecting pins 1 and 2 (red wire ,battery voltage and Blue wire , lock) to bypas the...

Hi welcome, and can you cancel ?? printing bullshit on the label is a Huge red flag and 30ah with dimensions and mass smaller than a valid 10ah battery at 1/2-1/3 the price of a battery with a more trustworthy supply chain.

Yes Please.. My existing full face lids are not cycling friendly too heavy and way too warm n cozy.. Glad your OK @cyclenut1952 but Im with @flecc, I appreciate the sentiment behind your comments tho and hope you have a smashing Birthday..

Seems like you have 2 options 1) spend the extra and buy a controller and display pair known to work together, or 2) take a punt via a distant seller and return as unwanted if it fails to perform and rinse/repeat until options are exhausted or success. There may be further hurdles beyond...

Yikes, you could get 20 x of the cheapest all in one sensors? for that sort of money. I would buy a couple of cheapies and save £50 even cheaper atm...

Perhaps just get some 2 part epoxy metal putty, there are a number of brands jb-weld is well known, mix up a load, its like blu-tak/plasticine Id roll a sausage and poke it into the tubes, perhaps with a nail or screw. prep the rack tubes with sandpaper and degreasing alcohol or solvent, And...

Looking Good, how about some full bike pics? go on show off yer bike.. I would like to see it if no one else is interested.. I i seem to recall you discussing plans - cant recall your final solution, is the bike on the train with you or parked up one end of the journey?

May I suggest you look at the KT range of controllers and display options (ktlcd-1, ktlcd3, ktlcd4, .......) ktlcd3 and ktlcd10 are both similar in form to the sw900 iirc. The controllers have more configuration options, than most giving you options further along to change things come in the...

Hi and welcome, - Sounds like your more suited to a conversion of a comfortable cycle with a basic bolt on kit made from generic modules. The sleeker design of the built in off the shelf bikes also comes with proprietary tech as said above, but also the need to deal with a single source for...

Hi n welcome, One of the great things about ebikes is the motor can compensate for fitness ;) mine does at least.. Depending on your choice of bike spares can be as easy as opening an ebay or ali express search page with the details on a label or as tricky as finding hens teeth. #1...

HI @whosjack As indicated above a bit more info is needed, your Q sounds like it could describe a few different situations such as a brand new bike not meeting expectations or an older bike that has developed a fault? And while its true atm e-bike repair shops/mechanics are few and far between...

Brake cut off sensors would need fitting But if omitted like some builds yeah could be an issue ;)

Ive read posts where folk have put the pas sensor on the front wheel and other places so sure you can. just get the rotation direction right but if tricky you can get a right hand side or left hand side version as needed. First time my bike hit 15mph not going downhill was post conversion ;)

Valid point tho my routes are all well populated and even tho i may well end up the subject of a video before a call is made.. but if that changes and i venture out where less populated I will follow your advice.

The day is fast approaching when i will have no recourse but to pay to allow any tom dick or harry annoy me at any time of the day and be reminded of programmer hubris every time i want to add an app to the device. Just to carry out day to day tasks.. Im fully aware of the benefits just not...

Fwiw mine cost circa £20 and caused a row with the then g/f as that should have been spent on her that evening.. And i have a LONG and dire history with mobile phones and an unusual aversion- my problem, but my first phone almost ended me up in bankruptcy with a 15k debt i was unaware of in...

What dig out a fone buy a sim card spend half an hour working out how to use it then download the apps you need giving them permission to overtake your phone or they wont install.. And where was i going??

Think i paid a few quid more about 20-25 yrs ago for mine, And its still going strong even after loosing the battery enclosure back and replacing it with a bit of folded hdpe milk carton to wedge the coin cell in place. If you go ali express they are sub £1 with free pnp.. fww I chalk the...

Thankfully your asking Before clicking Buy, when folk turn up upto £100 poorer thinking they scored a deal but are having problems it can be harder to break the news. Any battery making claims such as 2x or 3x the capacity while a similar mass is totally bogus. You can look up the cells used...
