Which connector did you have the throttle wires connected to? AFAICS, it should be red to red, green to white and black to black. If that doesn't work, check that you have 5v on the red and black throttle connector wires. I'm assuming that you tried it with the LCD switched on.

Even with a hub-motor, you won't need to use the front gears. Just leave the chain on the biggest one. Even that's probably going to be too low.

That works completely differently to what was in the video.

Put a finger on the rim when you do it to create a little bit of friction. You can practice holding the bike up in a position where you can reach the rim with one finger, so it just comes naturally when you do it in front of the police. Also, do it in bottom gear to get least help from the pedals.

What's that thing in the photo with a circlip in it, then? It looks an awful lot like this to me: https://www.sprocketandgear.co.uk/products/suntour-q-loc-thru-axle-nut-kit

You don't take the wheel off to change the pads. Instead, you remove the two radial screws that hold the brake caliper to the adapter, then lift off the caliper. It's just two screws. When you put the caliper back on, leave the screws loose, then hold the brake on hard, then tighten the screws...

It's the hand of God preventing you from wasting your money on stuff that you don't need, when, instead, you could use it to help the poor. I'll send my PayPal by PM so you can save your soul before it's too late. No donations will be rejected. Alleluja!

If it's not inline, put a 6mm washer (or 2) between the caliper adapter and frame at the back fixing.

Disc brake pads £0.50 per set. They have the two main types that people are asking for on this forum...

That's the hard bit done. It's easy from now. Does the disc line up with the caliper OK? Every time I stretched that far, I had to use a washer or two behind the caliper because the it was at a slight angle to the disk, due to the frame members no longer being parallel.

Not everyone - just the lucky ones. Some people never had one: https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/imperforate-anus.html and some people that had one, lost it: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/proctectomy

Whoever invented blissful ignorance was/is a genius.

Zip-ties are better. You cut them to the right length and twist them round the stay a bit until it rests on the rim. When you turn the wheel, any out of true is shown by the end moving backwards and forwards, which amplifies the movement of the rim, so it's easier to see than any pointer, and as...

I don't think so. The BMS should have shut off when over-current. Maybe it saved him. He said that he had accidentally left the battery switched on as well, so that was three errors that combined to cause the fire. I must admit that I keep forgetting to switch off my batteries. Effectively, it's...

I wouldn't worry too much. That guy was a bit unlucky. His controller hadn't been potted properly, so it was a combination of both issues that caused the fire. Normally, the potting should seal the MOSFETs as well as the gasket.

I've never seen one, and your version has CANbus comms, so not easy to hack, but if I had the bike and wanted to speed it up a bit, I'd be looking at a frequency divider on the speed sensor wire in the motor cable. It would be simple to do if you know basic electrical stuff and can solder. I...

Because the BBS** controllers are prone to failure and they come with daft settings that are locked by the CANbus comms. Also, the standard controller is attached to the side of the motor in just about the worst position in terms of weathering and damage if any water gets in. Remember the guy...

If that happened to me, I'd play along with it. "Sorry, did I run in the back of you. I thought I was standing still. Are you hurt in any way. If you are, we have to call the police and can't leave the scene. I'm so sorry if I hurt you." When the police come, show them the recording. The way she...

Why don't you try running with an external controller? That motor has a conventional pedal sensor in it, so it should be very straight-forward. Get an old non-working BBS01 controller, gut it and just use it to house the connections. There's a thread on here, where a guy did it successfully...

That's enough, thanks. The photo shows that both bikes have the later BB torque sensor. That system is more difficult to deal with on a DIY basis. Everything is sealed and you need specific diagnostic equipment to figure out what's going on, and I doubt that even Halfords have that or understand...
