    Motor cutting out when under strain

    I guess it is either the controller overheating or the motor overheating - but I don't know how to tell the difference - somebody here will though :) According to the Woosh predictor, the max incline is 13%. What speed are you cycling up the hill ? What assist level are you using ? And , if...

    BBS02 ? When I tried out a max speed test on my BBS02 (rated power 750w) I can get over 30mph with a full battery on max assist (48v nominal *25 amps) - 48/11 gearing 29 inch wheels. Not sure I could have kept that up for a prolonged period of time though

    E-bikes are great

    Well my heart rate did get to 169 bpm so I was maybe trying harder than I realised ! You get loads of road cyclists from teeside in the "less hilly" (all relative) areas between the North York Moors and Dales but it is very unusual to see them in that part of the North York Moors where it is...

    I think this idea of "keeping up with traffic" is flawed. Car drivers aren't used to bikes going much faster than 20 mph and will misjudge your speed and do stupid things. From and insurance / legal standpoint , there's not really any practical legal way of doing it . From an engineering...

    E-bikes are great

    So I'm on the edge of the North York Moors, and I had a little ride into the moors this morning and was just struck how much fun it is on an e-bike. Cycling up one of the long hills , I caught up with a Lycra clad road cyclist and it just looked like really hard work, whereas I could do this in...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    So, from the data Yose supplied, depending on tyre size, no load speed of around 25mph (40km/h) at 48v ? Slightly faster on a full battery, slightly slower in an empty battery

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    No - the 48V bike is slightly less powerful since I fitted the torque sensor kit but that is because the controller is now 15A - the original (48v) kit came with an 18A controller. When I set the LCD to show current with the torque sensor, I get to the maximum current for that PAS level on...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Yes, I also have a 36V rear hub XF08C (which my niece has borrowed for uni !) which I think is brilliant - I can get up slightly steeper hills, slightly faster on the Bafang 48V - I can notice a significant difference but it isn't night and day I don't think you need brake sensors with a bottom...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I have a 48V bafang rear hub kit with included speed pedal assist controller. I got the Woosh bottom bracket torque sensor kit which includes a 36v/48v 15a controller with power assist levels + LCD and it is miles better - both the torque sensor (which is very sensitive compared with the...

    Hi - I have a few questions about what to choose?

    The only other thing to be aware of with a 52v BBSHD kit is there is potentially a lot of power going through a drive line, far beyond what it is designed for (cassettes, chain and derraullier ) see https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/gears-for-higher-powered-conversion-question.46650/...

    Hello, looking for a commuter bike

    Is it worth asking David if he can do those through a cycle to work scheme (I think the same ,probably not but worth asking ?)

    Hi - I have a few questions about what to choose?

    still pretty cheap - that on Ali Express ? After you put it in the basket and come to pay is that the price (including tax and delivery) ? Can't find bafang kits on their official website "https://deruizebike.com/"

    Yes - almost suspiciously good - what physical size is the battery !

    Hello, looking for a commuter bike

    As @saneagle says - do you need a folder ? if not maybe I would go for a bigger wheeled bike for that commute - Wisper have a range or I don't know when Woosh's new bargain crank drive is released. I have got a suspension seat post on the bike I use on the road, which isn't as good as full...
