    Yamaha PW-ST Motor Jerky

    You don't need anything other than the original spoke magnet and the sensor lined up as they should be. I don’t have my Hardseven any more or I would look and picture it for you, maybe @georgehenry could take a pic of his. Looking at the frame damage in your original picture and the crack on...

    Yamaha PW-ST Motor Jerky

    The centre of the magnet should pass the groove in the sensor near the mounting point. Yours is way too far from the centre of the wheel.

    Rain effects

    The biggest thing to remember when trying to 'waterproof ' anything is to leave somewhere for the water that gets past your seals to get out!

    What shifter to match bike derailleur

    That was actually my point, no one answer for all. We all have very different needs that probably get more disparate as we get older / less healthy.

    What shifter to match bike derailleur

    Brake lever shifters are fine on my road bike, they would be no use to me on my EMTB, the downhills are just too bumpy. If I had a hybrid or city bike I'm sure they would be fine. I personally have never had a problem with thumb shifters but my wife didn't get on with the left hand shifter on...

    what size brake disc pads/

    The reason bike brakes will self bleed (usually) is because air is lighter than brake fluid and will always try to find the highest point. Sometimes with rear brakes you have to put the bike on an angle in a bike stand so that the hose runs consistently upwards, sometimes you need to rotate the...

    Neither of which are in Austria ;-) Innsbruck certainly has more 'commuter' type bikes but again the only electric ones I have seen are OEM mid motor. Maybe in somewhere like Vienna where there is a higher migrant population there may be more kit type bikes or maybe because electric scooters are...

    On that day I would agree but I also see lots of people commuting on OEM mid motor bikes.

    I'm just over the border in Austria, there may be some kits in Germany and possibly here but they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of OEM bikes. I did a short 15 mile unpowered ride with my wife on Thursday which was a bank holiday here. In that time we must have seen hundreds of thousands of...

    I mainly see OEM mid motor bikes locally whether on road or off, the only hub motorbikes I see are older OEM mountain bikes. If I go on the Inn valley cycle route I see some but not many OEM hub motor bikes. Most of the hub motor bikes are 'Dutch style'. Apart from the odd tourist with a...

    Review PS power don't buy they skam you

    How did you find the registration process? Or did you just build an illegal motorbike that will get you ponts on your licence and a conviction for no insurance, or maybe you have access to private land where no public is allowed.

    Motor Blown Up?

    They do, after making a permanent repair cover any repairs with heatshrink, maybe 2 layers then use self amalgamating tape over the whole lot.

    Battery Fires

    I have seen the aftermath of an explosion with lead acid batteries, they go off with quite a bang.

    Motor Blown Up?

    To me it reads more like a connector at the motor. Still wouldn't use a Wago for anything other than testing even if it is inside a controller box

    Motor Blown Up?

    I know that is what he wrote originally, I was more concerned that as you had already tested with terminal blocks you were then going to fit Wagos.

    Motor Blown Up?

    OK I will rephrase that. Wagos rely on the current carrying conductor to retain it in the connector. The insulation is not retained as it should be in an automotive connector. Any connector that is subject to vibration should have secondary retention either through mechanical clamping of the...
