Thanks jackhandy The fault is it either works or just won't ! No rhyme or reason so originally thought is must be a wiring/connection fault These have all been tested I'm told . I just thought if I could swap out the controller then the most complex bit of kit could either be the culprit or...

older one yes, for sure. New one are def brushless as per powabyke themselves X-24 Powabyke : Electric Bikes & Electric Scooters what i cant seem to find out is a) whats the 2011 model got b) would the 8fun controller work with a brushed motor. Presumbly not

Hi all a mate has got hold of a powabyke x24 2011 mode. It does have an intermittent fault which we think we have traced to the contoller. I cant be 100% unless he delivers to me and lets me test it. Pretty sure I can have good stab at confirming/tracing fault Having never played with...

My understanding is that very few (if any ) manufacturers comply with the strict letter of law If your a nominal 250w max and 15mph limit them you will be fine I consider my bike legal when run my 8fun 250w kit at 36v but illegal when I plug in my booster battery which takes it up to 48v (and...

The exception that proves the rule ;)

As aficionado of the conti travel contacts I would point out that the Conti failures noted above are all with other models - sport contact etc I only mean to point out that it's not really fair to compare apples with oranges. Same brand but not same model

I use wet lube in winter, dry in summer And good ole gt85 at times Being on the coast the sea air just rusts everything really quick if not careful

Congrats on the little un ! As you are a fit cyclist I would encourage you to try a few ebikes. You may find that the extra weight and the legal 15mph limit ( in reality often significantly less when going up hills) is actually too slow for your needs I have a front hub and have not found...

I'm a big fan of the Conti travel contacts mike. I have been running a m plus on rear and conti on front for at least last 2000 miles. No punctures or signs of sides splitting on either I do pay attention to my tire pressure though. You can knacker sidewalls by having too little pressure

a 1000 sprouts can generate 63v This Christmas Tree Is Lit by 1,000 Brussels Sprouts whose gonna biuld the first Sprout powered ebike !

Hi gringo - very much appreciated but I got too impatient. The idea of being forced to use the train to commute had me on hobbyking in a flash and a new turnigy accucel will be with me today Thanks again for offer though All the best

Looking forward to hearing the speed and hill climbing abilities of this motor (at 17a 44v)!

That's all really useful stuff , thanks I should say I don't use lipo but rather 18650 packs that I build from old laptop batteries so I need charge/discharge testing abilities as well Im keen to know the model of the turnigy equivalent to the IMAX b6 please. Shoulda like a good option I...

Hi all my Imax B6 seems to not recognise the third S of my 3s booster pack As it charges through the main leads it recognises a 3s pack but shows 0.00v on the individual series monitor during balance charging. It does show voltages for s1 and s2 The pack is clearly fine - i have tested...

i had decided the q100 would replace my 8fun when it eventually dies perhaps not now !

Motorlife kits on alibaba/aliexpress state they are 8fun motors So plenty of review etc available

The type you can get on eBay for under a fiver but then have to wait 6 weeks for deliver Managed to short mine out and after one in a hurry ! Thanks Kirstin

Very interesting thread I always thought lithium chemistries could only be charged fast up to about 80% and then a tapred charge was required - so true fast charging to 100% was not inherently possible ?

If you paid by paypal then that might be an option for getting money back Personally I'd jump at d8vehs kind offer !!

That's far superior to my "balance on one leg, fail and get wet socks technique" I always carry plastic bags to cover my brooks saddle for example.
