    BMS fitting to Carrera Battery

    It's generally not a good idea to mix different types of cells, nor should mix cells of a different age or condition.

    Volt Pulse controller change out

    I have many of them on different bikes - all KT controllers with block connectors, but different current ratings. I get them mainly from Topbikekit, who have a fair range. I used to prefer the LCD3 because it's big, clear and simple. and it has nice info on the screen. Now, I want my bike to...

    Volt Pulse controller change out

    OK, the black clouds left at 16:30, so I was able to go out and test. I can confirm that the power stays on for at least 15 minutes when on level zero. Unfortunately, wher I live, it's impossible to ride for 10 minutes without coming to a steep uphill. I went as slow as I could. Normally, they...

    6 year old on a dirt bike in traffic…

    I don't think you can say that without knowing the circumstances. I would ask the question why the details weren't included in the article. To me, it seems click-baity. There are many scenarios that could have cause the girl to be in that situation. I already gave you one, but I can invent 100s...

    BMS fitting to Carrera Battery

    I use a BMS that allows 5A more than the controller, so 20A controller 25A BMS. The BMS needs enough headroom not to trip at the controller's maximum current, and it needs to give protection against anything that would cause over-current, like a jammed motor, damaged cable or short circuit...

    BMS fitting to Carrera Battery

    Cheap BMSs are a bit hit and miss. I've had some that were OK, then bought another the same, which dained a cell-group down, so if it's for your own bike, always check afterwards that it does what it's supposed to do, and I'd probably get a bluetooth one so that I could check it easily. I...

    Latest Project Finished -Nearly

    Yes, I ordered a 52T chainring from TBK with the rest of my order. I also have a 7-speed DNP freewheel with 11T top gear, but this bike is 6-speed and i don't really want to change shifter and everything else. Also, I think it's a good bike for low speed, but doesn't really have the stability...

    Volt Pulse controller change out

    OK, that's very unusual. I'm pretty sure that a KT controller will solve you problem without giving any disadvantages, but it would be nice if someone can do a test to give a definitive resuly. If it stops raining, I'll test later today.

    What are you going to do when we have 15 minute cities and 20 min neighbourhoods and you're going to need your bike to get around? https://www.drive-electric.co.uk/news/what-15-minute-cities-mean-for-uk-drivers/

    Volt Pulse controller change out

    We know that, but we need an answer to whether the thing switches off when on level zero after 8 mins. I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but I never specifically tested it. The only way to know is to ride for ten minutes on level zero.

    That wasn't an answer to the question I asked! Yes, the speed is displayed or no, it isn't?

    Police Check

    If you look at the videos of delivery riders, you'll see that the majority look decidedly foreign, and it has been proven that some of the migrants staying in hotels are operating illegally as delivery riders. I personally don't have any proof, but a little birdie told me that there are...

    6 year old on a dirt bike in traffic…

    Until we know the circumstances, we can't say or assume anything, neither can you justify any assumptions about her parents. We have three facts. She was riding where she shouldn't. She was wearing a fairly decent helmet. She looked competent in her ability to ride it. This reminds me of the...

    I The battery doesn't fit the other bike. It's a very common type fitted to many bikes, including Wisper, but it's different to the Argos one. You'd need the whole rack to go with it.

    Hi All, Newbie pestering yer!!

    I hope you didn't pay much for it. You get replacement batteries from Cytronex. https://www.cytronex.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Battery If I were given that bike with a defective battery, I'd chuck all the Cytronex stuff apart from the motor, then get a standard Chinese controller and battery...

    6 year old on a dirt bike in traffic…

    Nothing. You don't know the circumstances of her being there. Through all we know she could could have been happily riding around her front fenced garden, when somebody came in to abduct her, so she escaped through the open gate and rode for her life until she was clear. She was wearing a proper...
