    Not sure if this is in the right section

    Here's how to test an ebike: 1. Measure the voltage at controller's battery connector. Obviously should be battery voltage. 36v - 42v for a 36v battery would be an acceptable range, but if you've fully charged the battery and it's less than 41v, it needs some sorting. 2. Measure the voltage on...

    Cadence magnet help please

    If you have the large diameter magnet disc, the one you have is difficult to find, but you can buy one of the large 12 magnet ones and press out every other magnet to make it work as a 6 magnet one. The one I had would only work like that. As you can only buy the magnet disc with the sensor...

    Battery Fires

    Thanks. It doesn't really help the Tesla drivers, though. If they look at the statistics, which show that the chance of getting burned in an EV is only 0.000335%, while a gang of lunatics dressed in black with ski masks are throwing molatovs at their nice new car that's stuck in a traffic jam.

    You're a bit late mate! Probably a good idea to delete that post to save boring everybody to death.

    Carrera /Raleigh Suntours LCD

    The writing on the back says SW102C. I guess the C means CANbus. Bafang uses the same display for CANbus, but it has 5 wires. The power wires for the display are separate to the comms, so any powered CAN device needs a minimum of 4 wires. The Bafang one has 5 wires because the fifth (labelled...

    Battery Fires

    Maybe he lives in Leicester. i don't know him, so I can't ask. I think last time we looked at the causes of car fires, arson was one of the main causes, which brings me to the next question: Are all those Teslas set light to by activists going to be classed as EV fires and appear in the...

    Battery Fires

    I just looked at a bit of data and established that there are approximately 40 times as many ICE cars on the road as EVs. It's only since 2020 that EV sales started to pickup and the average age of all ICE cars on the road is approximately 10 years old, so there are as many ICE cars sold before...

    Battery Fires

    According to The MacMaster (Youtube), a guy did an FOI request to leicester Fire Service basically asking for a breakdown of vehicle fires to show the proportion of EVs. They said that they couldn't provide that information because they only had records of totals, and they didn't record whether...

    They have these shared cycle paths in German cities. If you, as a pedestrian, mistakenly put one foot on the wrong side of the line, some German will grab your arm and drag you back onto the right side of the line. Like the illegal ebikes, the rules are adequate and clear. The only thing missing...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    It would only cost about $5 million to bribe 30,000 people to turn up for a meeting and provide transport for them. That would be peanuts compared with the money that DOGE is finding taken from the Government and given to their NGOs.

    Hellp Bosch CX Gen 2 error 424

    There are a lot of potential causes, so it can be difficult to find it. The easy ones to check are the pins on the back of the display. I had one where water got in to the holder and the corrosion stopped the pins from springing. The next easy thing to check are the connectors to the motor...

    Again, the statement from the insurance company specifically mentioned OUTPUT power, which can't be measured on most legal EAPCs. Your calculation is for INPUT power.

    Which is more difficult? Hub or mid drive bearing / maintenance overall.

    The procedures are different between those types, and they can be different between different motors of each type, but overall about the same amount of work if you have the right tools.

    I was answering a statement that he made about 48v and 22A controllers, of which he questioned the legality. The insurance company has just made a mistake because they copied the incorrect info off the government website that was corrected since the insurance put that statement in their...
