    E-bike battery - upgrading capacity a bit

    Actually thinking about it, if you buy through Yosepower, the lishui "350w" controller and display would probably be better then the 250w one The legislation is based on the motor rated power (ie your Swytch motor), not the controller. All you need to do to make it legal is set the max assist...

    Convert old Boardman Hyb 8.6 or a cheap new donor?

    Boardman Hyb 8.6s are a great donor bike, nice and simple and light and everything fits but you would need to get the gears working properly. I've recently converted a Hyb8.6 for my friend's wife. I've also done a Carrera Crossfire for my niece - that works great, but I changed the brakes to...

    E-bike battery - upgrading capacity a bit

    If you want more power as well you can upgrade the battery from 36V to 48v, if you follow @saneagle s advice - just get a dual voltage 36/48V controller ! Lots of people here have done it Is there room on the downtube for a battery ?

    BMS size

    It is the controller that supplies power to the motor. The battery and BMS need to be rated to the maximum controller output current + safety margin. Remember a nominal rated 52 volt battery will be 58.8v when full. The motor rated power is pretty random and not connected to anything...

    is this motor uk road legal ? on a ebike

    And if you did connect it to a 48V 20 amp controller it would still be UK legal as long as it restricted the maximum assisted speed is set to 25 km/h or below. (because the rated maximum continuous power of the motor is 250W)

    How I Upgraded My eBike to 60km/h: A Complete DIY Guide for Speed Enthusiasts

    I don't think a 35a/48v controller with a direct drive motor would go 60 km/h , especially with a MTB frame / riding position. If you look on Grin, max speed would be around 50km/h . Also if you ran it on full power with a 48v 20Ah battery it would have a range of 35 minutes

    Volt battery x 2 for sale as emigrating

    Yes - definitely here Facebook Marketplace ? Gumtree ? Ebay won't allow ordinary sellers to sell ebike batteries. I have seen some on ebay where the seller has (deliberately?) put it in the wrong category - something like bike parts. However if there was any problems or if the seller...

    Dual Purpose - Commute and Tour

    If you are doing 50-100km per day then I would suggest a battery of at least 630wh eg 36v 17.5Ah , which as long as your consumption is less than or equal to 10 wh per mile would allow you to do a full day without recharging. The rule of thumb consumption ranges from 5Wh per mile for a light...

    Battery Fires

    I just realised,my sister and her daughters have 3 e-bikes, 2 with 48v 15Ah rack batteries and one with a (Woosh) 36v 20Ah rack battery. I was looking at them this morning and I realised they all have the same charging socket, so it would be easy to connect the wrong battery to the wrong...

    Swap 451 wheels with 406 wheels

    Thanks, the 451 tyres seem to be 28 mm wide, hopefully the frame / forks will allow a little wider. Wondered about axles / dropout sizes, do they tend to be standard?

    Swap 451 wheels with 406 wheels

    So I've run out of local second hand folding Carrera Intercity disc 8s to convert ! There are some very nice, very cheap Carrera Intercity disc 9s (with hydraulic disc brakes and 9 speed cassette) but they have 451 rim wheels (and a limited selection of very narrow tyres) Can I just buy a...

    These popped up in my feed https://empureo.com/ The thing that struck me was they were quite light , especially with front suspension - 15kg without battery under 18kg with battery (which is about what my intercity disc 8 conversions weigh) The battery is small but you can get extra...

    Bosch Battery Question

    We didn't buy a second battery but the one from allbatteries that she bought a couple of years ago worked very well. The hub gears on her 2013 KTM Macina seized up earlier this year so I built her a bike instead using the TSDZ8 mid motor kit on a old Gary Fisher hardtail that she had in the...
