Signal Connection on the throttle maybe loose. Ie allowing the full 5v to go to the throttle round make a circuit and keep riding. Please can you take a picture of the throttle and connections to the controller. Do you have a pedelec function fitted?

Lifepo4 usually has a slightly lower nominal voltage at 3.3v vs 3.6 (or 3.7). So generally even at the same voltage and amperage the are slightly bigger. Your best bet is to ask for diemensions in all cases. You can change the amperage for higher if you like, it will extend your range...

Interesting the clothing sector hasn't seen anywhere near as many increases. The VAT issue has been like that for some time now and although makes a few points decrease on the Margin is hardly a huge number to swallow. Unless they are fobbing you off with trying to get more margin I always...

If it's a golden motor it will be a direct drive. So top speed will be very good whilst hill climbing with probably quite similar to the bpm so long as you keep in on the boil anyway.

The 20amp hour one will larger in size. Due to having more cells. However it would give you an increased range. It would also mean the cells are under less stress. Eg more cells doing the same job means each one is under less stree when pulling power or current.

Like nrg said it's no where near as bad as what it was. And in an ebike application your hardly getting the cells to perform that hard at the lower c ratings. An if you don't charge at a hideous rate they can be good. But your right keeping them outside would be the best just incase. At least...

Lipo isn't that bad as long as your not a muppet with it.

Inprefere the stealth look so prefer a bike look with an added fun factor. Some of the other mountain bikes with large frame and forks look cool though.

I still love you D8veh!

Interesting I'm using a similar lipo pack with the batteries at pull about 960 watts @ peak (20amp controller) and to be honest its loads in a hybrid bike and the speed if i leave it on full tilt with me pedalling up a hill is quite scarey. To put it into context, I went up a hill twice as...

Well im not leaving, or blocking anyone. I'll still post and then its up to you to read. Or not. Its really up to you.

Becareful on ratings of electric motors. Electric motors will draw anything they can pull electrically until they burn out or stop functioning. There was a detailed report on how the ratings continous report worked for electrical motors but is buried within the search function here...

I only have limited experience using the Bafang range of motors so couldn't really give you a good all rounder. However I have been more than happy with the performance of the Bafang BPM 350w Rear Kit I brought from BMS Battery. This cost £150 inc shipping. Delivery from China was slow and I...

Your pretty much heading down the route I did. Using the same batteries as me also. Although I only monitor cells at pack level using a turnigy watt meter. I also Cycle alot of it so If I do use electric its only ever for hills or a boost. Majority of the time I pedal. Anyway... Plenty...

Hello all, You don't really need the same range of gears on an electric bike as you do a normal unassisted bike. Due to the fact the motor takes some of the pressure of when dealing with inclines. When using electric I usually use about 3/4 gears in the highest range (Higher top speed) of...

Alan = Data Monkey Cruncher What do you do for a Job Alan? I work with numbers all day long on how to maximise profits between retail outlets but you have a passion for numbers and data i've never seen before!

I never understand the weight on motorhomes. Could you not just whack it inside the thing?

My preference is the opposite as I prefere full control and assistance on demand. But I actually stop using any assistance once up to speed if i'm lazy. Or dont even use it at all. Now the motor has loosened up and most of the weight is in a back pack I don't really notice the extra weight...

I think most basic transmissions and chains are stronger than what you think. Even on motorbikes there not that huge when you think of the torque and power being transmitted through them. I'd imagine most wear would could from not properly lubricating the chain leading to excessive wear.

Its not a poor choice of bike. Its just not your choice. Stop being a nob head.
