    Hall wires in sparta ion hub motor

    I woulds start with a google search for a pinout diargam of the motor to controller connection, and connect up accordingly, you may need to trial and error the 3 signal wires for the right sequence but as long as the 5v and ground are clearly identified the only thing that should get fried is...

    Motor Controller Not Working

    Do the 'self learning' display free controllers work out of the box without going through the 'learning' procedure? I dont know not having used one.. But i would imagine not. Hook it up to the motor and battery and follow the learning procedure for your controller and then test the...

    Help with my first conversion kit.

    Fwiw i bought and fitted a kit from yose-power last summer, the install was straight forward with just a niggle issue with my el-cheapo donor bike having a crank a tad too wide for the standard pas sensor shipped requiring a £10 replacement sensor . I was initially disappointed with the 4mph...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    Help! Help with faulty bike - What can I do with it?

    Google tells me a '00' error is a controller fault and on your bike can be caused by water getting into the controller? and error 21 is : So did the bike get ridden through water? or jetwashed? and has it been pushed hard uphill? or do these errors occur randomly or when you first turn on...

    Another one needing help choosing - possibly eStarli e20.8 Play

    Im unclear? do you want a foldable bike to take on the train/tube with you or an ebike to park up at the station all day while your at work? In either case a diy conversion may be your best bet imho for a foldable bike the quality options are wider when looking at non-ebikes, and the off the...

    Centre stand options..

    Its just the fact that pre conversion i needed to drop down into 2nd gear on some of the slopes to crawl up to the summit and thats with a 36T chain ring.. I'm sure its within your capacity to ride comfortably, i think i would struggle without battery power and the motor to back me up tho.
