    Throttle hidden switch

    Take a look at the Yosepower EU website downloads:- Download (yosepower.com) There you will see two pdf's for the C500 display instructions. One is " C500 display manual for 350W motor kits.pdf ". This has 4.1.2 Speed limit settings. The other is "New C500 display manual for 250W motor kits"...

    Current yose kit build

    Yes indeed. That rack is a seat-post clamp design and can't go lower. Any load on it will make the centre of gravity too high. The OP needs a more conventional rack which can be set much lower over the wheel, like this:-

    Throttle hidden switch

    Yes, I am well aware of the settings and do know where to look, thank you. I have a 250w. rear cassette kit:- E-Bike Conversion Kit 36V 250W 26"/27.5"/ 28"(700C) Rear Motor Kit for (yosepower.com) If you read the EU website listing you will see that it is restricted to 15.5mph and that cannot...

    Wisper Bike suddenly has partial power

    Throttle or brake sensor? No idea if a 905 Torque has brake sensors, but the problem you describe could be caused by one switching off and on at random. If it's unplugged the bike should work without it.

    Help! What COMPLETELY LEGAL Ebike will get me up hills?

    We're going way off topic, but I can't fit anything bigger than 48t without hitting the chainstay, so I've kept the original triple crankset. I fitted a new Shinano 14-28T 7 speed freewheel and wasn't aware that DNP make an 11-28T - oh well!

    Help! What COMPLETELY LEGAL Ebike will get me up hills?

    No, it's steel. It's no lightweight but is very comfortable to ride. I put that down to the curved forks and running relatively low pressures with the 26 x 1.95 tyres (40psi front, 45psi rear). The tyres are cheap Vittoria Easy Riders which have a shallow tread in the centre, and are...

    Help! What COMPLETELY LEGAL Ebike will get me up hills?

    You don't say what you are wanting to use the bike for. Commuting or just for pleasure? From the look of the tyres on your Raleigh MTB I'm guessing you don't go off-road much? If you are attached to your Raleigh it's possible to convert it (it looks in nice condition BTW). There are a few things...

    A UK company which designs and manufactures here in the UK- ebike kits.

    I bought two Yosepower kits, and before you come back with "Chinese crap" I am very pleased with them. To some extent I am expecting them to be "disposable" after about 5 years if the battery holds up that long. By then the technology will have moved on anyway. Don't get me wrong. I spent 50...

    A UK company which designs and manufactures here in the UK- ebike kits.

    It is a very well designed kit and I very nearly bought one, having spent weeks looking on the web at this one, Swytch, Geeko, Dillenger, Woosh, Yosepower and others. It is a neat looking job and if I wanted to electrify my vintage touring bike it would look very appropriate. I kept trying to...

    Just looking for some advice please.

    I'm sure you are right, but I suppose it really depends on what you use your bike for and how much heavy braking you do. Following the advice of the late, great Sheldon Brown I do most of my braking with the front brake. Braking and Turning Your Bicycle (sheldonbrown.com) I grew up with caliper...

    Just looking for some advice please.

    I wouldn't necessarily rule out V-brakes. My 1992 Giant steel framed MTB (no suspension and nice curved steel forks) cost me the princely sum of £35.00 on ebay. Yes, I've spent a bit on it (chain, bottom bracket and freewheel), but after swapping the cantilever brakes for some good second hand...

    Total newbie looking to buy an eBike, want some advice on a model!

    There are loads of conflicting views on this and if you want to waste some time just do a search online! There are millions of front hub-fitted bikes in the world. It just comes down to how you want to use a bike. Rather than listing all the pro's and cons here, I suggest you read this from...

    Total newbie looking to buy an eBike, want some advice on a model!

    The battery slides onto a downtube bracket which has the controller integrated into it. You can buy a bracket without the controller that just has two red and black wires to connect to a separate controller. This is exactly what I have done with my two bikes. The 250w. kit came with the battery...

    No problem. I didn't think you were doubting me. It was me that suggested you might have a freewheel as you have 3x6 gears. I did find the differences between their two website listings confusing. It's worth reading through some of the feedback on the EU website on all their stuff - again there...

    Total newbie looking to buy an eBike, want some advice on a model!

    I did say in two posts that I have no experience of Yose's front hub kits. My comments clearly related to their 250w rear cassette kit. If you look on Yose's .com EU site it does state that the throttle with that kit can only be used up to 6km/h. E-Bike Conversion Kit 36V 250W 26"/27.5"/...

    Well that looks like good news and should meet your needs. The front hub should be OK on your bike and much easier to fit than a rear one.

    Having explained your circumstances I can understand why you need a full throttle. Bearing in mind the highlighted part of your post, a full throttle used for any great distance will use up the battery pretty quickly. I only use it to move off sometimes or if I'm in the wrong gear. I've only...

    Total newbie looking to buy an eBike, want some advice on a model!

    Yes and No! It's a bit confusing, but all of the Yose kits have a "Walk Assist" function. You press and hold down the "Minus" button on the display while you walk with the bike. Although it's not intended, you can use this while sitting on the bike to move off before pedaling. The thumb...

    Ok, for clarity I checked the specs. of the 250w rear hub kit on YosePower's .com EU website after I bought it and in the notes there it states that the max speed of the throttle is 6kmH. This relates to the thumb throttle. Please note that this is in addition to the "hold down minus button"...

    I swapped the 7Ah/15Ah integrated controller in the Yose 250w. kit for the 9Ah/18Ah integrated controller that comes with their 350w. kits (available separately). This did give a noticeable improvement in torque and acceleration, but I did it mainly because the 250w kit throttle is "walk assist"...
