You will need a kit with at least an led controller, these only have leds to show battery cgarge state, leds for power level selected and buttons to select power level. It's as simple as it gets. Could be hidden in a saddle bag or handlebar box, though you wouldn't then be able to change power...

And another husk falls victim to the e bike grin:D Welcome.

Hi and welcome from Ceredigion. Plenty of cycle paths and old rail lines near you. There's one that goes fron Llanelli up into the hills, it's an old tramway, ends up near Crosshands somewhere ( never got that far). Pembrey, Buryport, Llanelli is a nice run, watchout for the wind though...

It's very unlikely. Phase windings will be low resistance, it can look like a short if your meter isn't very accurate. Windings are very robust and not polarity sensitive whereas the controller is. There is a way to test the mosfets in the controller, it is far more likely that one or more of...

It's more likely that the controller is damaged. Don't start stripping the motor until you get some more information. Afraid I can't help with detail but others will.

The reason there are so few cyclist in this country is precisely because there has been and is a car centric agenda. Think back to the days of Beeching in the 60's. He was appointed by the minister of transport Ernest Marples. Beeching scrapped thousands of miles of railways (many of them...

This is the main problem with shared use paths. For many years the regulation of not riding adult sized bikes on the pavement was absolute. You didn't do it and you got shouted at if you did. I know there's signs etc., but your average, non cycling pedestrian doesn't take them in, and...

The modern life style is pretty sedentary. The human system is evolved from a dynamic past where intelligence linked with agility and activity were crucial to survival. i.e. We are made to move. Any movement, particularly that which increases respiration and heart rates, is good. However...

Put up a picture of your battery charger socket. If you have a digital volt meter you need to measure the polarity of the terminals in that socket. If you haven't got one they're about £5 on fleabay.

When you say, ' only the lowest power setting is OK', what do you mean? How old is the battery and bike?

Ok so you're in north west Spain. There is another member (Anotherkiwi) who lives on the French/Spanish border. He has said many times that the Spanish police are very hot on e-bike compliance and have been known to confiscate. So I would stick to the legal 250w nominal rating. Also do not...

Ooo ya saucy minx:D Actually I use a Wittkop Medicus Gel trekking. £7.99 from Lidl when they have them. At that price well worth a punt.

Or could it be that certain manufacturers were more vocal/handy with the wallet? Just askin'.:rolleyes:

Why doesn't the chain/transmission turn backwards? Seems to be a standard deraileur set up. Are you sure the indexing is set up properly? With hydraulic brakes you should be alright inverting the bike so long as you don't activate the brake lever whilst inverted, Once upright, if there is a...

It'll be easy to work out but you will need a digital volt meter to work out the polarity. The connector will be easy enough as it will have screw terminals, so you just need some wire cutters.

Ultimately only your bum can tell you which is the right one.:cool:

Sudden power loss could be a few things, ancient battery among them. We're going to need some photo's and a bit more detail in order to help.

The guy's a Bad Brummie. What a nutter! Just how much fun can you have wearing a tie? Gotta pull him up on being allowed on paths and pavements though. No Colin you're not. Overpowered. Speed limit too high. And -worst of all - NO BRAKES :eek:o_O So not legal in any way shape or form.

Finally got round to it. The existing connector, when I eventualy got it apart, showed quite a bit of heat damage on the green. Some dodgy knife work left me with this Cut them off and set to with the MT60's. Had real problems getting the cable to tin, think it had been oxidised by heat and...

I have the original receipt for both my bike (Carrera) and my conversion kit. Therefore my bike was 'created, on those dates, no matter what I change. As far as I know there is no other way of dating a bike and certainly no way of dating the kit, other than interrogating the manufacturers in...
