    Bimbling around the country lanes and found a classic car rally to watch

Folk tend to scoff especially mtb -ers.....till they try :) the geometry is spot on and are ergonomically perfect, even on technical...

    what hub kit?

    My own view based on your brief spec would be a 250w bafang crank drive conversion. Done by a pro if not happy doing yourself I But only if you have a 68mm bottom bracket. Which there is an excellent chaonce you do Hubs don't like being banged about too much. A full suss bike lends itself...

    I've got a tranz X ebike with no battery...

    Advert is very unclear but I don't think there is any protection /BMS Just a xt60 output and no jst balance leads So your house may well burn down. Google lithium battery fires and see how serious .... But also the 4400 ah rating (if true) will not get you very far at all There are no truly...

    Weird failure, any ideas?

    And, for completeness I did test another throttle beforehand and check phases (though not inside controller on.pcb tracks) I now solder all connections direct including phases since I've had previous issues there And the thread ends on a happy note Thanks, as ever , for time and input folks

    Weird failure, any ideas?

    So, that was the issue Dodgy/broken weld on cell pack due to bump So convinced was I that issue was controller I bought one I don't want ! And an LED Grrr But, very grateful a new battery isn't required , everyone needs a spare controller (although I have at least 4 now - but only one 48v)

    Weird failure, any ideas?

    Update , after Woosh post i feared theb worst But then I recalled the intermittent nature of fault Opened up battery... Two bad welds with flappy nickel strip, see photo I've lifted for photo but must have been connecting /disconnecting to give intermittent fault

    Weird failure, any ideas?

    Ok, I finally gave up and ordered a new controller Solved ...or so I thought. Turns out my main Jimmy at insat battery is on the blink. I reckon there must be a loose connection somwhere . It's reading low at output (around 35v) but won't charge Given the sudden failure over a bump im...

    Weird failure, any ideas?

    So my commuter with a front BPM hub, 48v controller and battery just cut out on way home Wednesday Small bump /pothole and stop But, and this is the odd bit for me, I have power to LED panel and the throttle provides momentary and weak power before cut out.....then nothing I've checked the...
