    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    The motor works fine with the throttle, the problem with the throttle is that it is worn, when twisted to 'off' it triggers with the slightest nudge. Hence the need to change it. The LHM 3 speed switch works, can feel the difference with the throttle. Pas isn't working, there's a switch on the...

    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    Had a better look and test yesterday, I put the front end up on an axle stand to test the PAS. It's not working. There is a PAS switch on the side of the controller, has no effect. So I propose to check the wiring. All the wires from the controller are labelled. The PAS has 3 wires, +ve -Ve and...

    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    Here's a pic , power seems ok, just a dodgy throttle. Will see where I get to with the thumb throttle I mentioned earlier. I'd prefer a thumb throttle. For the future would I be able to use a new controller and screen etc with that motor. No label on it, seems about the same as my bbs01.

    Bafang BBS01b throttle speed test - Dahon Helios P8 (old version)

    Around 70/72 my bro and I used to go and watch live wrestling, in local halls. Some.proper wresting, some a lot of cod, for entertainment. I remember , on two evenings, a guy playing the victim and Mr Nasty in different places. All good fun. Ask him ref, ask him!

    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    I've emailed them about the throttle. If that is all there is I can use it. I believe there is such a thing as an electric unicycle, never seen or tried one. I've seen a little elec monowheel, the guy had his wrists bandaged.! I've taught and performed circus for years, set up a charity in...

    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    Thanks for the links Penty, it's 36v with a 3 light battery level indicator built in. I need to get fully competent myself before swmbo gets aboard. Wouldn't do to drop her. I did about a mile yesterday on a quiet local lane. The under seat steering is very different. The book says Look ahead...

    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    My Double Vision Recumbent tandem has arrived, had a play with it today. It has a crystalyte 36v front hub, 9ah soft pack battery, twist throttle with battery indicator. It's quite an old kit. No markings on the case, having looked at the website it's probably a SAW 400 4012 or similar, with...

    Charging phone from 5v wiring

    On closer inspection, that one is even better than mine, it's double usb with a switch. Mine is single, unswitched. I have a fuse and switch on the 36v feed. I've also powered a horn and front and rear+brake lights. I put a dollop of vaseline in the usb socket and tilt the usb unit downwards to...

    "Super light electric bikes could soon be a reality..." ??

    Perhaps I could suggest something like this. Grab the soundtrack and upload it into the EMS. https://youtube.com/shorts/fgQidjnB0KY

    Use Swarfega on Oil Stained Hi Viz?

    An antique of remedy surfaces from the depths a couple of weeks ago, for removing tar, oil etc from hands. A knob of butter . Works a treat. My dad used to use it.

    Bike Workstand

    I can recommend them too. Was tempted by the price, it's boon, working on the bike. Should have got one years ago.

    Bafang BBS01 conversion

    I noticed you fitted a torque arm, was that standard at the time? My bbs01b didn't have one and doesn't seem to need it.
