    My hub of choice at the mo is my front Bafang G370, a gem of a small motor with good power. My past best motors are AKM128C and Bafang CST , both I still have in built wheels and keepers for future use.

    Front wheel easier to fit (usually) , rear needs dropouts filed. Front wheel can slip if a powerful one . Front ideally needs to be in steel forks and with no supsension.

    Battery safety and reputable sellers - do these concepts exist?

    Replace the battery in your meter , this it is a false reading one can expect with tired battery that is no good. Typically a 48v battery will be 40v to 54.6v , I would expext a battery to arrive at about 50 - 60% chargeso about 48/49v.

    There is no programming to carry out with the KT controllers so no additional PC hook up is required, there are a few parameter changes that can be done via the screen. The changes are purely cosmetic in how the system detects certain signals.

    I tried out my spy glasses today and like a fly to **** they picked up two bad pieces of passing. What do you think ? Both are reportable if only for the drivers to get a stern talking to, but don't think Sx police will do anything. Not sure these glasses are going to much good for me as I...
