    LCD Display.

    The yose-power 250w kit i fitted over the summer came with the same display. Your limited by the eu/uk compliant controller firmware.. It limits the settings that the end user can change to just the speed display metric km/h and wheel size, though this effects only the speed display and not...

    Conversion costs

    Is there no other route than the one that requires such speeds I assume for safety reasons?

    Are Ventura chains any good?

    My hands on experience with cycle stuff is limited, so the above 'translation' was just a poor joke.. .. The Packaging is simply reminiscent of the cheap market sourced stockings that a particular ex willingly offered up for rough hand treatment.. ;) Warm memories for a cold Sunday, and...

    swytch

    Would certainly have been beneficial for @apwb to land in here when first having problems with the original kit, but it shouldn't take too long for exposure to this place to rub off and the old kit could get revived for a family members or friends bike in no time.

    I put "fahrradkette" into google translate and it came back with "sheer nylon stockings"

    swytch

    I know, but its poles apart from the friendly reception i received on joining up in here.. or did i put on the rose coloured specs in error again this morning? I found the manual for the swytch max and the oled display shows battery level and power output i guess? And the battery pack has a...

    Hi - I have a few questions about what to choose?

    Whats important is having the ability to get insurance in the first place. Once covered and in need of cover keep the digits crossed they dont pick you to be the poster child / public enemy for the test case.. Chances of loosing the house are significantly diminished by having cover in the...

    Fair enough .. The low beam did ring my bell but not sufficiently to buy one :) I dont think the utuber is a shill, a local lad and while its a different end of the cycling rd lightweight rd racing etc some fun vids there..

    Help! Alternative battery mounting options?

    Really?? your comparing "granny told me i had a little indian in me " to jan 6th and 1000's of well documented lies n bullshit. Edit-- conversion best continued over a friendly pint or 6 - Riv-nuts we can agree are pretty good..

    Help! Alternative battery mounting options?

    Fwiw when selecting Stainless steel riv-nut inserts i failed to secure them with diy tools so ended up buying a £10 ebay compression tool with a lever.. Could be just me being kack handed or the stainless steel being a tad stronger?

    Sparta Ion DTS conversion

    Hi and welcome, folk here are not so formal, so off the cuff, or from the hip questions don't offend, and no "have you read my essay on ebike repair twice before asking??" responses.. And probably quite a bit of interest on how your going to progress too. What Dark Arts did you learn from...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Another happy 250w yose kit conversion user here. I probably weigh in at about 100kg and i didnt convert a lightweight bike with my 36v 250w yose power kit ( 20-25kg? ) and if honest i would have to classify myself as quite lazy. not one for exercise for the sake of it. I am very happy with...

    Hi - I have a few questions about what to choose?

    Yeah but no, the battery and controller supply volts and current Watts is the resultant product and measure of the power as a result of Volts x amps. the regs were written by a lawyer and not an engineer so are badly written. Afaik Lots of bikes and scooters have been nabbed by plod No-one...

    Hi - I have a few questions about what to choose?

    imho invest in and buy the best battery that suits your needs, so if doing 10 miles daily and can recharge easily a smaller lighter battery might be best? Tho for most it will probably be a 36 or 48v hi mah job. Pair the battery with a high amp 36/48v controller, and a 250w hub motor for the...
