    My kit has arrived and oh my it looks confusing!

    The long wire with 5 thin coloured wires inside the black heatshrink on the end need the pins inserting into the seperate white plug end in the same places as the same colors in the other half of that plug which is connected to the controller.

    Electric Bikes on the Gadget Show

    Is that d8veh's own built bike in the background? I hope you get to show your own bikes on the gadget show. Given your experience I think they'd be silly not to offer you a job on their technical team.

    36v and 48v controller vs speed question

    According to my wattmeter the amps didn't change when I altered the C5 setting. Any ideas? Is there another setting to change too?

    Hall sensor mismatch ! Help !

    Just looked and seen I too have the same on my new S12S which I got with an LCD3. I see it is in the plug position which is normally empty. I am guessing it's for the temperature sensor if the motor has one as the LCD3 can display this ? Did your S12S have the old large plugs on the brake...

    PAS Levels

    I will give it a go. I guess the controller gives full amps until a particular speed is reached? How are the 5 different speeds set ? I can't find anything in the manual.

    PAS Levels

    I tried my LCD3 this weekend with my wattmeter attached and found the PAS amp levels a bit strange. PAS levels 3,4,5 on s12s went something like 10a,14a and 26a, wheres the inbetween 14a and 26a? I was expecting it to uniformly increase by a fifth. Likewise on a s06s they went something like...

    Split a 20ah battery

    Thanks for the photo, I thought it would be made up of loads of those small round cells. I guess I will have to put up with the weight.

    Split a 20ah battery

    Before starting to ebike regularly I purchased one of these 36v 20ah shrinkwrapped batteries with the idea I could just charge once/twice a week instead of daily. https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-battery/445-36v-20ah-li-ion-shrink-tube-ebike-battery-pack-battery.html On the dozen or so times I've...

    S12S Controller Size

    Saying that made me think they may have had problems in the past with them overheating so have seperated the hotter parts a bit more also shared the current between 2 shunts and give more air inside and more metal casing for the heat. I've got just the thing to mount it on, nobody will notice it.

    S12S Controller Size

    Yep full of air !! For anyone interested here they are opened. They are different though, the new one has 2 shunts and the pcb is about an inch longer. I take it they will still be the same thing and the LCD3 will work with both? No wonder they charged extra shipping, this thing needed it's own...

    Adding inline fuse to volt display

    "You're making it too complicated" That's me all the time, following a lot of your tips is helping me with that ! My initial concern was the exposed connections on the back of that volt meter, one come very loose so I was concerned about one coming off and shorting out and also with soon...

    Adding inline fuse to volt display

    I am now happy my wire is protecting from serious short (fire) and now fancy having a go at that LCD to controller fuse (for the challenge) on a spare controller first. To confirm I am putting this fuse between the thin red wire between the LCD and the circuit board...
