    More Seizures

    They mean auctioned off by police. It's generally too complicated to remove batteries, and if they put a bike or scooter in the crusher with the battery attached, there would be fireworks.

    Please can anyone help

    You have either blown MOSFETs in the controller (most likely) or a short in the motor cable (not so likely). Sometimes, the bullet connectors melt on the controller end of the motor cable, which causes a short. That is quite a common problem, so look there first. If you don't find any damage...

    250w Ebike Kit with KT Controller

    Not if you put it in one of those under seat toolbags, which you need anyway to keep your puncture repair kit and emergency lights.

    250w Ebike Kit with KT Controller

    Any drill should work. Steel rivnuts for strength. To do the drop-outs, I use these carbide burrs. Read what I wrote in that other thread today about light and horn on how to get the multi-buy option with free postage...

    Rechargeable Bike Light and Horn

    I make about two orders a week. The stuff generally takes about 6 days to come. If it's much longer than that, you get a free £1 voucher for each item, which only cost a pound in the first place. It's mad! The Polish guy, who delivers the stuff, loves me because he gets about £1 for every order...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Good idea; however; the amount of CO2 you breathe out increases in proportion to the energy you expend, so your clean energy is not so clean. You can't beat science, and nor can the politicians.

    250w Ebike Kit with KT Controller

    My recommended way to fit those batteries is to drill a 5.5mm hole in the middle of the aluminium part; put the battery base in position and see if either of the bottle cage fixings line up with one or both slots (usually one does); if one does, fix the base with a screw; mark the frame in the...

    250w Ebike Kit with KT Controller

    Rear drop-outs are normally 10 mm, so there's a good chance that a motor will go straight in. Q/R front drop-outs are normally narrower than the motor, so need filing wider. Whatever drop-outs you have, the 12 mm motor axle will cause the axle to sit around 2.5mm off centre. Theoretically, that...

    Free public battery charging scheme

    They did a lot of work on their own. We gave donations so that they could get leaflets printed, which they distributed to various interested businesse along cycle routes or in popular cycling destinations. They had quite good success and encouraged other forum members to do the same with their...

    Rechargeable Bike Light and Horn

    If you don't have anything better, this looks OK for £3.21. The trick with Aliexpress is to click at the same item listed separately at the bottom of the page, then click at the one at the bottom of that page until a cheaper one shows, which will be the multi-buy option with free shipping, then...

    cyclotricity stealth 1000w will not de-restrict

    I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that as well as limiting the speed to 15 mph, the restriction cut down the power as well, which made it pretty useless. As I already said, he can achieve everything he wants with a new controller and LCD. It only takes ten seconds to adjust the speed any...

    250w Ebike Kit with KT Controller

    I've fitted motors to at least three of those frames, and never had any issues. The dropouts are the same as any other frame. Whenever you fit an ebike kit to any bike, there are always some minor adjustments you have to do to get it right. Of course, some people are unable to recognise that...

    Hitway BK11

    When appropriately connected and switched on, the grey wire should go roughly 1.2v ro 3.8v when you operate the throttle. If it does that and still doesn't work, it must be a settings issue.

    Argos E-plus Problem

    It's a shame it doesn't have a workaround for blown MOSFETs. So much for Lishui being more reliable than KT, Mr Woosh.
