It does look good, but I think a 201rpm motor might be a bit too slow for general use in a 26" wheel? I would imagine it climbs well though. Price with shipping, VAT etc. is a little high for me, especially as I need to factor in about £50 for a rim and spokes. Of course, all of this would be...

I've spotted that. They are listing MXUS XF07 on ebay in £UK with shipping from Germany. Tempted, but I'm leaning towards BMSbattery's Q100H.

Thanks for the replies Guys - useful as ever.

Has anyone made any recent purchases from BMS Battery? I'm hovering over pressing the go button on a hub motor. Cost is £64.40 plus £66.65 shipping, but the total in the shopping cart says "tax excl.". What are the likely extra charges and who do I pay them to? Shipper is stated as UPS. I've...

Thanks again for your thoughts. I'm thinking that the Q100H 260rpm (or the AKM100H, if I can find a 260rpm version) would be the best option. SWMBO will have to like black!:)

Thanks for the response - I must admit I was hoping you would give me some advice! So, The Q100 is avilable with 260rpm, but AKM100 isn't. Am I right in thinking that 201rpm would be better at hillclimbing but 260rpm offers (potentially) higher top speed. if I ever fit a 17A controller would I...

Thanks for the quick reply @Benjahmin. I've just had a quick read of your thread and it is indeed confusing. I notice you said.. "So, I'm going to order a 48v 328rpm motor and run it at 36v to get 250rpm. I'm assuming that running at the lower voltage it will need more current to get max rpm...

I recently bought this on ebay to convert for my wife:- It was only £35.00 and is in excellent condition. Apart from adjusting the brakes it is good to go but I will probably replace the slightly rusty chain. I have a Yosepower Lishui C500 display and 15A controller integrated into a slider...

This is my 26" wheel 350w Yose rear freewheel hub:- With the supplied Lishui 18A contoller I have been able to just touch 23.5mph on the flat with the power tailing off. This is my 28" wheel 250w Yose rear cassette hub:- With the supplied JYT 15A controller it was restricted to 15.5mph...

I can confirm that from my recent experience. My two bikes have Yose kits fitted, which are the more recent ones with C500 displays. The 250w rear cassette kit as supplied had a JYT brand 15A controller and C500 display with a fixed 15mph top speed and "walk assist" only throttle. I've...

There is a comprehensive thread on changing the Somerby controller here:- Pendleton eSomerby Controller Upgrade | Pedelecs - Electric Bike Community

Yes, my sedate riding consists of only using PAS 2 most of the time, which means the motor isn't driving at all above about 8mph. Steep hills are tackled with a high speed attack using PAS 5 and keeping the motor spining at a high rate by pedalling hard through the gears, It means I get up the...

I was responding to Wheezyrider who asked why I run the controller at 16A max. rather than its full 18A. Reducing the amps will increase the range of the battery, not reduce it.I did it as a precaution when paired with my 250w motor to prevent it and the controller overheating. I'm probably...

Cyclotricity's own cable looks to be a standard 9 pin male/female Julet connector type, so I think you can assume their motor has a standard male 9 pin connector on it:- Motor Cable (cyclotricity.com) Like a lot of their accessories it's a bit pricey. There are a lot on ebay with different...

I'm probably just being cautious, but 16A seems to give enough performance and I don't want to risk overheating the motor or controller. It would also presumably reduce the range of the Yose battery (20A max. current) . I have another bike with the same controller but with a 350w. hub which...

I have a Yosepower 250w rear cassette kit on one of my bikes. I substituted a Yose "350w" 18A controller for the 15A because, as it came, the kit throttle was restricted to 6km/h "walk assist" and the max. speed could not be changed from 25km/h (although the amps could be). Having fitted the new...

If you buy the Cyclotricity wheel you will also need to buy a male to female motor cable extension lead unless you already have one. They are about a tenner on ebay. I'd be interested to know what the spec. of that motor is as I have a "spare" Yose C500 display and 15A Lishui controller.

Have you got room on the handlebars for one of these? MTB Bike Bicycle Handle Bar Lamp Phone Extender Mount Extension Bracket Holder | eBay I've used one to mount a throttle below the bars - saves taking the grips off. I my case I bought a long one to mount a front deraileur shifter on the...

Yes, that thought has occured to me. I might give it a go as I have just bought a bike on ebay. Ostensibly for my wife to enjoy cycling after an absense of 50 years, it has cost me all of £35.00! It's hardly been used, and the plan is to use a Hailong downtube battery on a rear carrier rack so I...
