    Sevenoaks Electric Bikes

    Congratulations David , a move that I wish you well with. You will be one of avery niche few who not only will offer the best type of bike but also a choice of drive between mid motor and hub motor to use, a very big difference to most of the niche LBS who think only mid motor works .

    Telegraph Transport Headline, "Fears over plans to double e-bike power

    Another base less news report where as usual the reporter has no idea of what they are writing about. Fire risks won't increase by this fact alone, it needs a fool on the end of the process who doesn't understand what they are doing such as charging in a confined space or under a stairwell. The...

    You will find a lot of stuff may look similar and fit , but that is where simalarity ends. Manufacturers tend not to want compatibility with another competitor so they will wire the connector in adifferent sequence so not to match or work, there is no standard. With hub bikes there is only one...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    1. 250w is capable of alp climbing crossing ,Eddie PJ of this parish has done many an alp climb so crossing shouldn't be an issue, that said it would be a fit able rider and not just your casual /weekender. 2. In the UK shared paths are now common as are the ex railway routes and bridelways ...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Woosh and Wisper as well as other UK brands will mostly stick to 250w rated hubs as other wise sales overseas see will be affected, I guess they could have two lines of motors .

    Mapdec cycles -servicing an emtb

    Anyone would think that the bike is something special for that price , but......... it isn't. It is a bike with a motor , he must have been trained by Halfrauds. Someone is having a laugh or simply needs to charge so much due to lack of work and income. My bikes only real costs in...

    At that price it will have a cheap no name china controller , there is no way it will have a Bafang electric system for that money. So highly likely that connectors are not Higo type.

    I suspect your G51 display is coupled to a no name controller or a brainpower type controller, a bafang three pin higo connection will not be compatible. For simplicity chop the connectors as already said and join/heat shrink the wires correctly. 5v red or brown, gnd black and signal any random...

    So if you don't know what the connector is , it is pointless buying stuff that may not have the same pin out sequence. As I said Higo and Julet both look very much the same , colour , pins and they even mate together , that is all fine and dandy but no good if the pin out sequence is different.

    Is your controller Higo connectors ? What system is fitted to your bike ? Is it a Bafang controller ?

    The Bafang yellow three pin connector is a Higo connector , it is pretty much identical to the same yellow Julet connector and compatibility wise they fit together. The issue if mixing the two types is the wiring is wrong , the pin out order is different making then incompatible . When using...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    One thing raising the motor rating will do is to allow a wider range of hubs to be used, very few are sold as 250w . Most are sold as 350w or 500w to suit the US and othe rmarkets, this would make the likes of the AKM128c a much more viable motor to use of r alot more users. It has been a...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    To me it looks like we might see changes in EPAC categories, current 250w rated EAPC's without throttle as per the EAPC's already sold. Then 500w rated EPAC's with throttle but likely with some regulation. It will though if goes ahead be a bit of a dogs dinner , we will have rated EAPC's with...

    One thing that is wrong with this forum and has reduced it's appeal , a use of a derogatory term to someone who doesn't conform to others way of life. Chris has stated his reasons so why can't the forum just accept Chris's reasoning without being rude to him.

    Cut the connectors off and simply join the wires in the correct colour sequence and heat shrink the joins.

    Battery drains fast!

    The % going up a hill will drop , this is known as voltage sag. When you get to the top and ease off power one should see the % rebound . How much sag one sees is dependant on how much current one is drawing.

    Depends on the battery BMS continuous rating.
