    Kill the PAS

    I find myself cracking the back brake just enough to register with the controller but not enough to engage the brakes when approaching any obstacles. only releasing and allowing motor assist when clear.

    Help! Error code on my Carrera vulcan 2020

    This is a well dead thread, kudos for searching etc, but its worth posting your own thread in this case imho, Very friendly folk in here. post pics of your display, and the controller if you can as that will help the gurus identify the systems your dealing with, and save them asking for them.. ..

    What bike is this ?

    Your not tempting me with a facepalm link not even with a razzel quality readers bike pic.. AS for the bike itself, no idea, but way too reminiscent of a Puch Maxi for my aesthetic liking. if browsing ads i would move on down the list.. Even if used by a granny that saddle is way to...

    How important is one spoke?

    I screwed up , again, I finally received a set of 36 spokes and nipples (no spares) for the wheel i need to re-spoke. Rather than kill a perfectly good wheel for its rim i decided to try and remove the wobble in the damaged wheel. On fitting the new spokes i first noticed how damaged the...

    If concerned about water damage ' borrow' some nail polish and paint/seal it with a few coats.

    Help! Yosepower PAS will not fit.

    I had the exact same issue with my yosepower conversion kit, (otherwise its been GREAT!!) You can file/sand/dremil out the inner diameter a tad i did but even after doing so mine was still a little too grippy or large as its friction with the outer bit increased, which resulted with the sensor...

    Riding in the rain footwear

    A recent browse of aliexpress revealed stretchy soft silicone overshoes for protecting feet and shoes from the rain, size 9s were less than a fiver but i didnt check pnp.. you should get a longer life from such things cycling as i guess there will be less sole wear than if walking?

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    So I opened up the controller bag, the controller just sits there, so currently is disturbed by battery removal etc. all connections looked good but i gave each one a push to encourage connection and while none gave any indication of moving something happened as the motor now runs without...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    Cheers, will be doing a full cable check later, I spent a bit too long pottering in the garage this morning and have been catching up since. There is scope and a lil hope, for a connector issue however as the controller bag is squashed in above the battery sled where removing/replacing the...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    Thanks for the tip @PC2017 i will indeed check the whole wire length all the way to the controller.. It would be great to find an easy to patch cable prob, or even a busted sensor needing a quick through hole pcb component swap out.. Not that particular vid no, thanks for the link.. but the...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    Yes, the plug is well home, And a very tiny blemish/slice into the flex outer sleeve is just detectable in the 2nd pic below :( well it looks like damage to me?? I had greased up the cable entry to the hub in attempt to aid moisture sealing and protect the spring/coil protection from further...

    Oh i will be checking 1st thing, And the whole reason for posting in the first place was to get such sage tips, and i will be very happy to eat each and every word of the following text too, if and when your proven correct.. But my recollection of the suspected incident nor my brief visual...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    Considering @Nealh s above comment on the likelihood of requiring a cable replacement it seems expedient to amazon order a replacement in readiness and return it should it be surplus. However my search for 'Ebike hub motor replacement cable/flex' was fruitless. So Cutting one of these down to...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    Tried it 3 times, 2x at the shops, and 1x after charging the battery at which point i googled the error, I wish i could say there was an element of snagging involved in the bump but my recollection is lacking in that respect and im doubtful, but will be happy to check. thanks for the ray of...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    Pretty much what i expect to find.. youtube reveals it to be a bugger of a job too ;) One of the first things that registered with me on inspection of my kit on its arrival was the vulnerability of this aspect of a hub motor. The design with the cable exit within the span of the rear'forks'...

    hall sensor error ... ktlcd3- info 3

    I had to wrestle the bike out of the rack at the supermarket after a later arrival parked a bit close, and in doing so i knocked the cable/hub nut against something on its way out. Attempting to pull away under battery power once loaded resulted in the motor cutting off after an initial burst...

    New Project Started

    After 2 x half arsed feeling my way in the dark ebike 'builds' ( 1 x straight forward conversion, 1 x rebuild) it will be good to see how someone who knows what they are doing does it with a fancy base bike to build on.

    New boy stuck

    The 3 key values off the label are 24v 15a Maximum current, and 7a rated current. Its the Maximum current value thats used in the headline of ads... (So you have a 24v 15a controller) It looks like your headset/display is connected via the black 'waterproof' plug/socket(julet) while...
