    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Solar export price is supply and demand and similar to the EV scenario, the more panels privately fitted then utilities can less afford all the payments so cost price per KW exported will go down . Like EV's the more that replace ICE vehicles then RFL income will suffer , gov't/ dvla has...

    help on buying brake pads

    It's simple undo your old brakes and simply bolt on th new ones. Hydraulic brakes on a bike work much the same way as on a car , except one has a lever to apply the brake force pressure instead of a foot pedal. Hydraukic brakes with callipers come already primed with synthetic fliud ( don't...

    help on buying brake pads

    Retro fit hydraulic brakes and then no need to worry about poor cable inefficacy. Hydraulic are fit and forget, one can get two pot hydraulic sets for under £40 which will be far better then cable, Hydraulic use two piston operation rather then the single piston operation of cable ones. Go for...

    10S BMS balance wiring

    As said all BMS sense wires have to be reversed if a new BMS differs. Typically B-/B0 is usually black and B10 is usually red. B1 - B9 then follow numerically from B0. Always use a meter to check the wire voltages.

    Driving ban over e-scooter crash that fractured skull

    Another victim who gets liitle or no justice , as I have said in other threads involving such incidents (where the perp shows no remorse or has little interest in how they affect others lives ) one has to take out a private prosecution and sue them for as much as one can get. Money is the only...

    PAS for Sprocket Rotation-query.

    Jumping straight to a front hub one may ponder what the hub fuss is about. Before coming to any conclusions of hub vs mid motor one will need to experience a rear hub conversion as well using a KT system. Lightweight or those with higher internal gearing ratios make the choice easier imv. ...

    PAS for Sprocket Rotation-query.

    The Mk1 Revos friction drive uses a sprocket PAS detection , then later ones used a conventional two piece PAS . Whether the controller programming was changed or it was a simple swap of one for the other I don't know.

    Torque Arm Installation - Rear Hub - Best Practice?

    A one piece TA design means there is no nut /bolt join to fail or move. When I need a TA , I make my own from what ever steel I have laying about. 2mm/2.5mm is the thickest I have used and have had no issue with the thickness. The critcal point is drilling preping the axle hole for a snug...

    Help! Front Motor fitting advice needed for a newbie. (Swytch Universal)

    For front forks one has to select suitable forks to work with, typically most have little metal or a gusset that strengthens the drop out. Front shock forks aren't practical for a hub motor so one is best to upgrade to a dececnt steel /chromalloy fork, however folks don't think about putting...

    Odd charger behaviour

    Charger is generic dumb type so and leds changing colour is simply a function. 1. Green led no charge /no current = correct. 2. Red led when charging/ current flowing = correct. 3. The final changing of the led to green is dependant on the BMS swithcing off to stop the current . No green...

    Three wire Bms to two, is it possible?

    It's cheap enough even with the p&p, one will have to be the forum test guinea pig on this one.

    Three wire Bms to two, is it possible?

    With the BMS sense wire ribbon in most cases on has to resolder all of the wires again , typically unless an exact replacement is found. Even then one has to be 100% sure the BMS order is correct and not reversed. If one can't access the cell ends directly to solder then one can cut the...

    First time buyer

    3.5 miles is nothing for a cheap bike as will be running local errands to/from local shops , what one needs to consider is if longer rides might occur on a regular basis. Components are basic but like anything they are upgradable . EAPC's from a little under £300 to £600 are all ok and work ...

    Three wire Bms to two, is it possible?

    As I mentioned someare with balance feature and some without so the full spec needs reading, those without balance still have lvc /hvc BMS control . As long as one charges fully and not short charging less then full then balance shouldn't be an issue with pucker cells. Over time short...
