Considering electroheads present themselves as something of an authority on the subject, they're remarkably ill informed.

Yes, that's what @saneagle is referring to. It's there so you can unplug the cable to the motor wheel if you need to remove/fix/replace the rear wheel/tyre. If it's not pushed fully home to the marked line it can cause problems.

Hi Les When you buy second-hand you really don't know the condition of the battery(ies), so it's best to assume they're toast and factor in the price of a new one. A quick google suggests your bike is a 26" e-MTB; it has an LCD on the left side which allows you to apply more or less assist...

No, I don't think the OP can use any battery they want. All EZEGo folding e-bikes use a sleeved rack mount battery which contains the controller, so ideally the OP needs one that fits the existing sleeve... which Yose do sell if the OP is clearer about which profile/connector block is being...

If a battery seems expensive, it's usually because it's using decent, branded cells like LG, Samsung, or Panasonic. If you're looking for a Chinese clone, you'll likely find something here, but without you showing us exactly what size/type/style/connectors you need it's difficult to say more.

What's happened to @matthewslack? Mid-trip and no reports since last Monday? I hope his latest report of a brake-pad change and a subsequent steep hill descent hasn't ended badly? Should we be organising a search party? It seems most strange that he abandons his travelogue in this way. I do...

That's quite an adjustment; it sounds as if you'd ideally need a larger wheeled/larger framed bike for a better fit.

Hi Bici... welcome to the forum. If you haven't already, download the Pendleton manual from Halfords website and follow their advice on battery usage/waking it up: The Pendleton battery has some operating quirks which have confused many users here before (you can search these; some may help)...

Thanks both... I see it now. Those examples @guerney linked are crazy stupid. 17.5Ah battery powering two 1000w motors (although those branded GoGoBest GF750?), sus fork no arm/s, and a twig for a frame. What is it that attracts people to buy such junk?

Can you find it - or anything like it - on Alibaba?

I must be reading a different script, because the OP doesn't know - or at least doesn't say - what bike it actually is or what it's fitted with. The way I read it is that it's others speculating it's 1000w. Did I miss something? All the OP says is "it's Chinese", he bought it off Alibaba, and...

There's a history here on the forum of people replacing throttles on Fiido D2/D2s with generic/ebay parts and them not working. The part may look the same - even identical - but I suspect the wiring may be different. That you have error codes means you have a later D2s version with the newer...

If it were the battery/supply issue the whole bike would blip out/die. As a newer member here you may not know that @saneagle knows these cyclamatic bikes inside out and has been fixing them professionally for many years. What he says is logical: If it were a loose display connection modes 1 &...

You could probably just repair that. Under the 4 feet are standard cross-head screws to open the case. De-solder the existing lead, cut back and re-end the old cable. You could probably slide the cable back through a gland* or grommet to crimp (hold firmly) the cable into place once you've...

If your display is the usual KM790, here's the error list. It suggests a Motor Hall signal error, which may be as simple as the plug on the chain-stay not being pushed all the way in to the line marked on it, so check that first and also look to see if the wire coming out of the motor axle has...

So the battery remains alive, but the 5v USB supply is now dead? Is your 5v supply being fed from the bikes controller (EDIT - you said it is), or are you using a buck converter directly off the battery? IMHO whichever it is is likely to be toast.

It's not clear (Dahon don't say) which of Bafang's extensive mid-drive motors is actually fitted, or if it's CanBus or UART... the later most desirable if you want to be able to tweak the bikes performance. One of my own e-bikes uses a Bafang Mid-motor; being UART, you can really rinse the...

They almost certainly are, if you ask Wisper. The question that needs to be asked is why do they need replacing? Is this another Facebook find of stolen goods?

It's very much a personal decision if you do decide to accept the bike. If I were paying for a brand new bike, I might accept a minor abrasion as a hazard of transit, but if it's "badly scratched up", that reduces the value of the asset you've purchased, and I'd want the bike exchanged. Of...

I don't know anything about your bike or it's battery, but the principles remain the same for most. Others here may chime in if you share more details. A good first step is to say what end voltage the battery is charging to/ what it should be (you're expecting it to be), and what the output...
