    E-bike questions

    Also, what if the conversion was done 2015 and you have since replaced the motor for a new one, but the rest of the kit is the same. What constitutes the kit? I have a conversion kit bought and fitted in Nov. 14. Have since (2016) had to replace the motor casing (new bearing), so is my kit now...

    When riding on the footpath should I.....

    I agree that cyclists need to be considerate and that the focus on sports cycling in this country does utility cycling no favours at all. However shared paths can only work with all round user discipline. Pedestrians who wander from side to side whilst texting. Dog walkers with extending...

    Hi and welcome. Nice looking bike. How does the rear suspension work?

    WARNING RANT ALERT! What a typically fudged mess. It may be fine to quote Paul Boetang when hauled up in court, but noboddy's told the irate citizen pedestrian what he's said. So they go ahead and harangue you or physically impede/assault you as they believe they are are in the right. Also...

    If it's an 8 speed then it's a cassette. Anything above 7 speed is cassette.

    Help! Motor Connectors

    Gotcha. With a 20A controller I'm guessing 60A should be fine. Ordered some (had to be yellow, no black available) we'll see how well I can solder. Ordered two pairs just in case!

    Help! Motor Connectors

    Thanks Neal. I think they should work 'cos , with the addition of some heat shrink, I think these can be waterproof. Then the halls can still fit inside the box. Incidently, I found this from Grin, they reckon MT60 are 100A max. Think that'll be enough:cool...

    Help! Motor Connectors

    Looks like the block/bullet phase connector for my motor is causing heat and possibly noise problems. It sits in this box on the fork, along with the hall connector. This is what it looks like now:oops: I need to replace it with either something that will fit in the box, or something...

    Heatsink

    Finally got round to looking at the motor connector. It is a square rubber looking block with 3 bullet type connectors embedded in it. It is showing definite signs of heat stress, so I'm guessing that there is resistive connection somewhere, that or the bullets just aren't up to it. The white...

    Heatsink

    Gotcha, that's one thing that could have changed. When I last took that connector apart (about a year ago) there was some heat malformation in it, I'll have a look. p.s. slow reply 'cos the power was of for about 6 hours yesterday. But then this area only started to get mains in the 60's and...

    Heatsink

    Sorry, just seen the other posts. It's an Ezee controller and motor. Not sure but I think it may be 20A. However, at the time of the cutout I was using pas 2/5.

    Heatsink

    Thought you might say that It would seem that the box is bolted on by the two dome heads on the 'cross bar'. Then there's two counter sunk cross heads, one of which you can see just behind the rack top tube curve. It looks like the box is mounted flat underneath the plate of the rack...

    Heatsink

    Todays ride was eventful. I got something stuck in my front brake caliper going down a steep rutted lane - hairy - had to rely mostly on the back brakeo_O. New pads should sort it. The other issue was that my controller went into limp mode because of overheating. It has done this a couple of...

    Help! bbshd ,battery? issue

    If using cheap dvm's then they are uncalibrated, i.e. they haven't been checked against a known source. So the difference between a measured 41.6v and stated 42v is within an error factor. What I would be looking for is for the charger output and final battery charge voltage to be the same...

    Advice for 20" hubs.

    Finally, the photo's. Torque bracket finally arrived and fitted, road test complete. Had to fit the torque bracket on the gear side, just wouldn't go on the other. However the kick stand is mounted over the axle and acts as a second bracket, not a very substantial one, but it's there. Despite...

    Advice for 20" hubs.

    Now that the lcd has been set to wheel size I can get an accurate take on speed. On the stand and using throttle, the max speed obtained is restricted by the max speed setting. Currently it's giving 20mph which'll probably give around 18mph on the road. Although the motor seems to drive all...

    Advice for 20" hubs.

    In the kit of bits for the controller, there is a black 2 pin plug with a loop of blue wire in it. The only corresponding plug on the controller has blue and black wires in it. It is the only one that is unlabelled on the S06S details and isn't mentioned at all on the downloadable diagram...

    Just finished my 250W Bafang conversion

    Hi Jay, Nice neat job,loving the colour co-ordination. I suspect your old hub was a direct drive rather than geared, thet's why the power dropped off on hills and it used more battery.
