Slightly off topic of actually fixing the bikes you have..... But If your need to use a bike up steep hills without pedalling then maybe a crank drive based bike (with throttle as well as PAS) might be an option for you. Better for dealing with steep hills without overstressing the motor as...

As d8veh said it would be useful to know a little more behind the five faults you mention.

Why so out of interest ? I just really like the 2 wheel drive feel of a front hub - particularly on independent throttle - on gravelly/loose surface

I ride to work every single day regardless of weather. In the sideways rain of Brighton water can be issue I have found. Not in the odd shower but in torrential rain After a few mishaps I take no chances (or as few as possible). I have now 1. Got a drip loop for motor wire 2. Used extra...

If that's the case and a 36v 8fun controller is not so limited (we know from other members ) Would a 8fun run at at 36v run this at over 15mph Given the 24 wheel size vs my 700c I would guess yes ? I do have a spare one if you think it worth it d8veh ? Otherwise I guess OP needs to suck up...

Well unless you can find any free cells. I found a local laptop repair shop who were having to give me for free out of dead laptops. If free then worth a try to be sure ? At least that way you know for sure a new controller is required

Ahh thought it was anodised aluminium Yeah best not if painted

Sprockets made of adamantium ?!

Blimey - fit some very spikey tires and go straight up a vertical cliff !

True - to an extent. I'd expect Cytronex to disagree wholeheartedly mind ! :)

Try some nail varnish remover -or acetate Bit of that and a cloth and should come right off Careful not to touch any plastic bits though - the print is on metal, right ?

Welcome Phil I can , i hope, provide a few ideas for you. Globally I belive that mountain bike sales outstrip road bike sales by a significant margin so that may be a factor that informs the manufacturers. Certainly it is true that the majority of motor hub on the market need 100ml fork...

I really like xt60 connectors - foolproof, solid connection, up to 60a I belive, also watertight horses for courses though I guess !

Is that this one ? Wow, looks weird but I really like it!

a couple of things do stand out for me as negatives. I do like the modern looking finish mind 1) 2.5ah battery is really very small indeed 2) 24v normally a bit weedy - might be ok on a crank. Have to test that one 3) The battery position is a bit of an afterthought. It does not apear on...

Due to being forced to take a second paycut in in 4 years :( but having discovered an excellent local source of free 18650 cells :) I have decided to build my own 44.4v pack rather than go LiPo ( i had planned to use 4 x 22.2v 5ah packs). A laptop shop gives me them free and only about 20% are...

Odd that you have 790 panel. My 8fun kit came with an 800. When it broke and I tried a 790 it would not work as throttle not independent Long way of saying above post can be ignored !

Also do you have a throttle ? Worth just plugging in and see if that works. All helps with the diagnosis !

What's does 8 fun say the flashing means ? And have you the changed the pedelec sensor itself ?

You have checked already I guess but is the magnetic ring close enough to the sensor ? Maybe it isn't picking ups signal ?
