    Tired legs.....

    Hi! north east here, and I have. You don't get much more speed by derestriction, 20mph roughly. You have to change the controller, I'm using this one...

    Tickety tick tick

    Yeah it feels solid for now, when it starts acting up again I'll try my hand at building one, already had some practice on an old wheel

    Bike horns

    I use something similar to this, very loud, has car horn sound and a few others. Just don't expect drivers in heavy traffic to notice it, although it can be heard on quieter roads...

    Tickety tick tick

    It's not the disk. I've backed them off a bit and retrued with as equal tension as possible, still quite off as there are two decent sized dents in there. Then I've tightened the whole wheel as tight as feels safe to do so. The noise has stopped and it's as true as it will go, I have some hop...

    Tickety tick tick

    I have a ticky tick noise that I'm pretty sure is a spoke as I've experienced this before. Have checked none are broke or loose, tension isn't totally even though due to truing a couple times, this probably triggered the noise. Anything else to check before I put a drop of oil on everything to...

    Uh oh, spoke noise

    After truing my back wheel I have the infamous tick sound once per revolution, had it before so pretty sure it's a spoke. None are loose, but tension is a little uneven due to truing a few mishaps out. Should I just lube the nipples and between them as this has worked in the past, or does this...

    Snow traction

    Been fighting the snow to get to work and back today. My tyre combo is front Schwalbe ice spiker with middle studs removed as it likes to skate on wet concrete when braking, rear is a kenda tyre that came with my bike, studs screwed into the inner side knobs, then an old tyre tread inside to...

    Repair kit

    Slime is great when it does work, horrid when it doesn't. I saw those tubes keep meaning to get one. I wonder how feasible it would be to make your own, cutting and tying a slightly too large one or maybe sealing the ends with strong rubber cement

    Phase wires

    If a controller burns out or throttle, pas, display break it's quicker to replace. A lot of stock connectors are crappy metal that corrodes, I stopped having issues when I replaced my hall connectors with gold plated ones. Also if one gets tugged for any reason it may get unplugged rather than...

    Field weakening, is there another name?

    Nah I realise it's probably a bad idea, but might still add lines and connectors for using it as a backup battery. I realize that you can't just hook it up that way safely. My other battery is a 48v hailong 13ah, Chinese cells, supposedly good for 25a continuous

    Field weakening, is there another name?

    I have another idea... I have my old Carrera battery sitting here, works just fine. If I ran some lines from the main power line into my panniers and kept that battery there maybe I could use it as backup, or more excitingly as a booster? I probably would need a beefier controller to handle an...

    Overvolted Carrera e spec is a monster!

    You need to cut the wires and crimp some connectors, quite easy with decent tools For battery and motor phase wires, ignore thin wires on battery plate they are not required...

    Overvolted Carrera e spec is a monster!

    Just seen the posts here. The controller is rated 13a, but actually pulls up to 18a. There is an amp limiting feature in the LCD but it seems to have no effect. I believe the issue with the other controller was actually a fault that was triggering the BMS, official rating from phlyion is 19...

    Repair kit

    What do you carry in yours? I have a pump, patches, a tube, adjustable wrench, multi tool, electricians tape, cable ties, side cutters. Was thinking of adding some lengths of wire and a few crimps for emergencies as been stuck without power a couple of times

    Field weakening, is there another name?

    Yeah they are definitely an achievement but I'd never pay it. I have read of one or two people buying a cheap voltage converter and wiring it in as a turbo switch, no idea how effective it is but I guess it's the only way to get a boost without one of these controllers or a higher voltage battery

    Field weakening, is there another name?

    Looking for controllers with this feature, so far can only find very high powered ones which are very highly overpriced. Is there another name or has the technology not caught on yet
