    That's a lot of work to get a simple measurement. I just measure the diameter in two directions and add 5mm.

    Fast4ward Peak eBike Battery Needed

    You'd make it a lot easier for us if you provided a photo of your bike and battery.

    Doesn't sound very plausible at all. When you go to hospital, nobody asks if it's a fat bike or not, and most people there wouldn't know the difference. You'd just say that you fell off a bike. Also, I'd say that anyone is less likely to fall off a fat bike than a thin one.

    Stiff rear wheel

    Standard bike disc brake screws are too long. You should use the ones that come with the motor, otherwise get replacements that are exactly the same length.

    Stiff rear wheel

    If you changed the screws at the same time of the disc, that's probably it, though they look like the correct ones in the photo. The only other thing I've seen is when a batch of Bafang motors were over-shimmed on the inside, which made them tight to turn and knackered the bearings in no time. I...

    Stiff rear wheel

    It's impossible to say what you did wrong without seeing photos. Either you had the washers in the wrong sequence or your disc out of line with the caliper. Put the wheel back on with the caliper removed from its adapter and see what happens.

    Recommendations for a 'Legal' 250W Rear Hub/26 Wheel for use with KT Controller

    Just about any 48v 250w motor will get you up hills. 35A is much too much. It'll strip the gears off any legal motor. You want 17A or 20A max at 48v. As usual, without you giving any details of you, your rides and your bike, it's impossible to make specific recommendations. PSWPower, Topbikekit...

    Do you know what's meant by the term RINO in relation to that?

    The problem is that the BBC edit things, so you don't necessarily get what he was saying. If he said something that doesn't fit their narrative, they'd have cut it out. Remember this one, where all the MSM, including the BBC, cut his quote to mislead the public. During the interview that...

    Help! My next project

    I need a pair of forks and wheels for my latest build, so I might have a go at it. The forks I have are pretty good, but I don't really have enough length of steerer sticking out to be safe. The problem is the 400 mile round trip that's going to cost about £90 and 7 hours driving, though I fancy...

    BionX seem to be locked in generating mode...

    I found this video of how to do the repair, though he pulled the wrong side off. You pull the brake side off to access rhe controller. Use a standard 9-pin motor cable, not the monstrosity that he uses to go with his very expensive controller...

    BionX seem to be locked in generating mode...

    That can only happen because of a short circuit between a pair of motor phase wires. Unfortunately, it's quite a difficult repair. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember the Bionx motor splitting down the middle, which means you have to despoke it and completely rebuild the wheel afterwards. I'm...

    BBC documentaries are completely fake. Remember David Attenborough blaming climate change for the walruses jumping off the cliff, when they had made exactly the same documentary about 40 years before, where they explained that it was because of over-population and had been happening regularly...

    Old Giant struggles with hill.

    If you set P2 to zero (number of magnets in the speed sensor, it'll use the hall sensor pulses for the speed display as well as the speed limit, but, of course, no speed would be displayed when freewheeling. I guess they use separate systems so that they can get the speed from direct drive...

    You could sell out to a distribution and or marketing company. Oxygen sold out twice. The first time with Seascooter was a good arrangement, then Seascooter sold out to a bigger company that wasn't really in the game.

    Old Giant struggles with hill.

    Set P1 40% higher. As I said in the other thread, the actual speed limit comes from the hall sensor pulses. The controller calculates the speed from the wheel size, reduction ratio and the number of magnets in the motor. The displayed speed comes from the speed sensor pulses, number of magnets...
