Well, that's the direction my thoughts are going in. Motor was originally bought for a 26" wheel recumbent. Seemed to work alright but the whole experience was so different I couldn't really tell what was going on. Ditched that project and thought, 'OK I'll use the kit to turn my bike into a...

Good info, thanks Neal. Motor only got midly warm. I'll ride tomorrow with the top off the controller box to feel what the controller does. P1 was at 128 as Topbikekit reckon the Q128 328 800w is 8:1. I'll try a bit higher to see what happens. That would be useful, thanks. Just disconnected...

As explained above, there were some long climbs and it was during one of these that the cutout problem first occured. I'm starting to think that cumulative heat has done some damage to the electronics. The intermittant nature is puzzling and would seem to point to a connection issue, but I...

That's what happened yesterday, like it had gone into some sort of limp mode.

Bullets were the 2nd thing I checked. When it wouldn't work (crossing the main road), there was nothing. Display was still on showing assist level but no mph. Can only be the pas can't it? No pas, no assist or throttle. Pas is one piece so, apart from the plug at the controller, there's...

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks Nealh, those are the lines I'm starting to think down. At the moment operation is erratic. This morning I went to the next village shopping, about a 4 mile round trip. It let me down badly crossing a main road at an offset cross. Approach to junction is downhill so no assist. Exit is...

I use the Mirrycle mirrors. Endlessly adjustable and foldable on friction joints. Stays where you put it...

Yesterdays ride involves climbing out of the valley I live in, going down into the next then climbing out of that before going down to the coast. The second climb I noted as 1.6 miles from bottom to flat (ish) top. Variable gradient with the first 6-800 yards being around 1:6. The climb out...

Bike has had several hours to cool down now. I've just run it up and down the village (flat road) and everything was working OK, including the speed display. I really am thinking it may be heat related. Think I may need to get more ventilation which is difficult whilst also weatherproofing it.

I have P1=128. Speed display did work but stopped mid ride. There is no speed sensor connected, never has been. So, as you say, it must be getting the speed signal from the halls. As it was working fully but is not now (and no settings have been changed) would this indicate there's something...

Very variable , but manged to keep it above 8. But these are long climbs on a warm day. First thing I did. I'm thinking that, because the speed reading suddenly stopped working, that something in the controller has gone. It sounds like it is misfiring as the motor not deepened and gave more...

Definitely got gremlins in the system ! Went to my favourite seaside cafe today, lovely Tuscan fish stew. Around a 12 mile ride to get there, lots of ups and downs. On the long descent into the village I noticed that, suddenly, there was no mph reading when not pedalling, when back brake (brake...

It's hovering around 80w, and that speed would be on a rare flat smooth road. Slightest of inclines speed go down. I'll try and get them when it's finished charging.

Having fixed a second puncture I took the bike on a longer run on Sunday. Really it wants to do a minimum of 14mph. The wattage seems to be ramping up quicker now on the throttle, does it have a learning function because I haven't changed anything?. However the pickup from going downhill...

Why? Privately owned E Scooters are illegal. End off. What else is needed? The law concerning eapc's is concise though much mis-understood , mis- quoted and mis-interpreted. Perhaps we all need to carry printed copies of the actual law. Does a version with the correct terminology and...

Once again the wrong information being 'clarified'. 250w is not the maximum power output. Educating coppers that it is leaves people, like me, who have a wattage display, at risk of having the bike wrongly seized. The voltage label is not the battery power, it's the voltage !

To catch up C4 was set at3 already. With the wheel size thing, somebody's going to have to help me out here 'cos I'm not great at maths. The motor would develop more torque in a 24" but would it do that if I told it it was in a 24 when actually in a 700c? Also I'm trying to keep it legal so...

Well that took some time - doesn't it always? Because I've been using MP tyres for the last 12 years, the glue in the puncture outfit I had had gone solid. Result was a 28 mile round trip to the bike shop to get patches and spare tube. Plus side is that they had some no glue self stick...
