    What is a higo connector?

    Not 100% sure of what you are asking ? Hub motors use a Julet brand or a Higo brand of 9 pin motor connector, most hubs 99.9% use the same type of motor connector and standard pin/wire arrangement /sequence. The one we know of being uncompatible is Suntour. The motor connector is about...

    Wheel Building Help

    Ebikes don't need ebike spokes, 14g spaim strongs are perfect for a nice spoke to build wheels with and after trying a few spokes is my choice of spoke. Contact spokes from ryan or ryan builds wheels to get a quote. Spokes need to be within a mm or two , if too long one runs out of thread .

    36v battery with 48v motor

    As mentioned the NM promoted to sell bike sis pretty much nonsense as it is the gearing that dictates torque and the NM you will get. Select the drive that suits the terrain and the bikes/riders intended primary use. For out and out reliability one can't beat a hub drive . Most of peoples...

    Carrera Vulcan e spec advise sort

    Great well done. We keep telling folks these will work with other controller kits, now you have to try it with KT to realise how much better torque /current control is.

    Newbie from South Wales with a repair query.

    Having the Suntour hub it appears to be an original OEM EAPC supplied via Halfrauds. As with these bike the parts are dear to replace , if you are handy with a soldering iron and diy then the obvious as we iterate often is to replace the operating system with a KT one and keep the hub and...

    PASS Wiring question

    The Bafang controller PAS will only work in two ways . 1. The moulded connector must be a Bafang PAS with Higo connector not a Julet one (both look similar). 2. One cuts off the Bafang connector and the opposing one and solder the wires to each direct. PAS wiring is very simple it is only...

    Byocycle model identification

    A lot of hub bikes leave the factory with the motor cable exiting from the top. In a lot of cases the wiring doesn't allow an owner to rotate the hub to prevent water ingress so the best solution is to use a pliable rubberised sealant to waterproof the entry /exit. A woman at work has 24v...

    24V battery on Panasonic 26V

    Traceour's pic only shows three pins , I would unscrew the top and investigate if all three are wired and or what the third may connect to or do if connected. If indeed only two wires are connected then a generic 24v battery can be used or even have the original recelled into the old case.

    36v battery with 48v motor

    I'm a fan of front hubs albeit small light ones that don't affect steering via weight ot torque steering. At 11st one is perfect for one and 1.75st lighter then me and I love my small front hub. The only advice I can give with front hubs is to always fit them into steel forks , my fork of...

    24V battery on Panasonic 26V

    Both 26v or 24v will work, the 26v rating was simply down to the battery chemistry used such as nicad/nimh. In fact using 24v lithium one should perform more sprightly and last longer.
