    cyclamatic problems

    Don't be surprised if the MOSFETs in the controller are blown. Controllers don't cost much, and it can give you a chance to make your bike better than it was before because the Cyclamatic Power Plus control system is terrible. It would even give you the chance to go up to 36v, which would give...

    That error code means that the controller is receiving a non-zero throttle signal at the time of boot-up. Possible reasons are: Cable or connector damage Water in the throttle Plastic throttle-stop inside the throttle got broken Corrosion inside the throttle connector Incorrect wire sequences...

    You fulfilled your duties and obligations. If he doesn't want to listen, that's up to him. He needs to disconnect the throttle to make it legal if it gives power when he's not pedalling. There's always the possibility that you misjudged the situation unless you can confirm that he was making...

    BBS02B 750w & SW102T

    What does that 250w mean? Are you sure it's not just to make the power look compliant? How much power is actually coming from the battery? You need to measure it either with a wattmeter or measure the voltage drop down a 10cm piece of 14g wire, which is roughly 2mv per amp, so 20Amps would show...

    I've always found Al I find Aliexpress to be extremely reliable. I buy a few items every month. I recently bought a 15KWh £2000 power station that works perfectly. My last order was about £30 for a cat electric blanket, spy camera, bottle holder and bracket that came in about a week, and I have...

    Yosepower 350w Lishui. Change controller, or change to mid-motor bike?

    You might have a problem with the pedal sensor if you get the waterproof connector one because the wires are often in a different sequence in the connector, though you can always hack the connectors off and join the wires. Also, it doesn't really make sense to use the controller with waterproof...

    Marathon E-Plus

    I've used them. I don't think they have quite as much pucture protection as the normal MP, but I still didn't get any punctures.Other than that, I don't think there's much between them, so get whatever's cheapest.

    A new kit is on the block

    It looks pretty good. I have some questions: Current control or speed control? Does the torque sensor system give proporttional power, fixed power or stepped? Can the throttle be set to only work when you pedal?

    gtech escent battery and controller replacement

    If you're converting one that hasn't been done with exactly that controller, it would probably be better to get a controller with the block connectors so that you can test it when something doesn't work. Your pedal sensor will probably have wires out of sequence, which is very difficult to...

    Some advice for a ebike newb

    IMHO, your first ideas were pretty sound, and you could have done a pretty good legal conversion. Your second ideas are great if you want a throttle-only electric moped that will probably get seized by the police sooner or later. The third idea is even better, and if you need a bit more oomph...
