I experienced similar "over enthusiastic" policing when I was riding at walking pace though a shopping street in North Shields (nr Sunderland). It was just before 4pm on a cold, damp, dark Sunday in February with less than 10 pedestrians in the whole town. I visited the police station...

I have a Yose kit, it was my first conversion kit / Ebike and I was impressed. After I changed the display & controller to KT items I like it a lot more. As supplied, Yose works well but I found it basic and crude. Converting to KT gave alot more options to set it the way I like, and changed the...

Link added for info - another KT thread explaining what some of the menu options / settings do :) https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/kt-3-setting-help-please.45366/

@gersrt & anyone curious, my KT throttle works without pedaling and settings for my 36 volt 27" / 29er MTB are below (check P4 setting for pedal assist !) Menus. Turn display *ON - up & down together, on to save & progress - up & down together - up & down together Menu = 72 / 26" / kmh...

I have the same Yose controller but it's not fitted to a bike at present. A thought (as I can't remember how the system worked when I was using it), are you trying to use the throttle from a standstill or to use it once you're moving? On the bike I'm using now the throttle works without...

Hi, good advice above but also think about : Reviews - look for ones where people have used the kit for at least a few months. Any review that starts "I just fitted a new kit and this is what I think.." won't include what's good and poor in everyday use. Remember that a kit bought just a few...

I'm still using the battery and motor from my Yose kit but I removed the controller & display and replaced them with a KT controller & display. The Yose system worked fine but (after using the KT) I found it very crude. The KT can be set to work the way you want it to and is a lot smoother to ride.

Hi, I got a kit from Yose about 2 years ago - different to yours but they might work the same way. On mine, the battery has 1 button and 1 key lock. The key on the battery is not an on/off switch, all it does is secures the battery to the bike (but for things to work, the battery has to be...

E-bike battery fire in NYC leaves 3 kids injured, including 2 critically: FDNY https://nypost.com/2023/02/05/e-bike-battery-fire-in-nyc-leaves-3-kids-injured-including-2-critically-fdny/ The battery was off the bike and left on charge overnight near the exit of the apartment. When it caught...

A neighbour bought a 27.5" bike and found it very difficult to find a new back wheel locally when the hub failed. Lots of our local bike shops carry 26 & 29/700C wheels in stock, something to think about if you want problems fixed quickly.

I agree with some of your points but think you've missed something Charging. I know 2 people who are waiting for their first EV (Tessla) to be delivered. One lives in a rental property and can't/won't fit a charger, the other has been waiting months to have a charger installed (due to problems...

Good topic for a money-saving thread, thanks ! ;) Another good site for discount codes is https://www.hotukdeals.com/

I've been getting weird results on different websites, I suspect it's either my machine or the setting on it rather than anything to be concerned about. Maybe try a different machine (laptop, mobile, PC, etc) and see if things start working again ? Hope you get it sorted, you have very...

I had a similar problem last year with an older "Town" bike and found plenty of cheap options at Bankrupt Bike Parts (they had stores on Ebay & Amazon), more info https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/kemp-starley-dutch-town-bike-out-of-hibernation.37181/post-582876 Hope it helps, ask if any...

Interesting Tesla articles : fire at the California battery site (6 months after opening), also self-driving video (neat, but I prefer to control my car not use autopilot).

Hi, not my type of work but I see 2 things you need to check : It looks like a compact bike, if you fit pedals will they (or your toes) hit the front wheel - it looks like there will be very little space between them when you're pedalling. The rear wheel isn't the type you can just fix a set...

I got a set of suspension forks for £25 from Bankrupt-bike-parts and they updated an old worn out bike very nicely ! https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/kemp-starley-dutch-town-bike-out-of-hibernation.37181/post-582876

Hi, background about my Yose kit. About 1,500 kms on bike1, downtube battery fitted on the rear rack and hidden behind panniers https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-350-rear-hub-kit-onto-spanish-mtb-by-mondraker.37899/ Kit was then stripped off, converted from Lisui controller to KT...

I bought a Yose kit with 36v battery about 2 years ago, soon upgraded the controller and set the current as high as possible before the battery / controller cut out (thermal overload?) From memory I got cutouts when set at 18A, it's been set at 17A ever since and often used at max assist levels...
