Also it's virtually silent at higher speed so you get some funny looks seemingly freewheeling uphill lol. Flat out on throttle I'm getting just under 20 miles range with the amp limit set at 16.

My speedo is completely wrong unfortunately. I'd guess it's capable of 20+mph as it's definitely going significantly faster than the 17mph cutoff it had before. Hot off the charger maybe 22mph. The Vulcan is such a stable and safe ride it's hard to judge speed so it makes me grateful of...

Anyone done it? I've applied for a post that's better pay than my current role and less responsibility. I'm looking for advise for the transition should it actually happen. Totally off topic I know but I'd be bringing my bike lol. Living costs seem similar. The job is forklift operator for...

Wife has one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/limitless-sharing-TDL6162-dutch-bicycle/dp/B071CZLR57 only problem we've had in over a year was the spokes went slack and started breaking. If you get the wheels properly tensioned by someone this is less likely to happen. I had a falcon spark...

It's not even that in the north east, people spot you and still don't move. I pass these inconsiderate cockwombles as close as possible as fast as possible. And then there's the headphone zombies, no amount of noise you can make will alert these to your presence. So basically in the north east...

Depends on the bike. Rim brakes would struggle with that. Hydraulics are a must for faster speeds electric or not

Been riding some more, some notes: Battery drains a little quicker, but I have been abusing the throttle as it can winch me up mild inclines by itself so that's expected Make sure to buy a small controller, mine is 8.8/5/3cm and it only just fit inside the box Cable ties. Lots of cable ties...

I've had a few cheap throttles randomly break. They are only a few quid on ebay I'd just replace it in case it decides to take off when you don't want it to.

These basic sensors don't typically give varied input other than assist level set on the display. If it cuts in and out under use then that would indicate a problem. In my case simply the disk wasn't close enough to the sensor. If there are magnets passing it nice and close it should work, if...

Both mine and my partner's bike have inputs for lights on the controller. Can anyone recommend some that don't need panniers or fork mount as mine has neither? Or a way to adapt these to a normal MTB?

About £75. That was for controller and display, new crankset and a thumb throttle which hasn't arrived yet. I also bought connectors for the motor wires

Installed new controller on Carrera vulcan e spec. It works, but the speedo is showing speeds that are clearly faster than what I'm actually going. Wheel size set correctly. There is an offset adjustment but it doesn't allow enough tuning. Could this be an incorrect hall wiring doing this? I...

My Carrera has hydraulics with no sensors. I got used to it, you do have to keep a handful of brake though in case you get a boost if you like to trackstand. Now I've changed the controller I'm considering some in line sensors for extra safety, mainly in case it malfunctions as that's the only...

New controller in, works fantastic after tweaking the settings. Had to use the self learn wire as motor was spinning backwards, now it's ok. The suntour hub really packs a punch. Awaiting throttle now, Pas is good but it demands a higher cadence than other systems I've used. Speedo was...

Sensitivity settings sorted the Pas and I've used an offset setting for the speed. Don't know if its accurate but it shows bike like speed now lol

Don't think it is, however there are lots of parameters on the LCD ill have a play with

So I've finally put the new controller in my carrera and I have a problem, the pedal assist takes forever and a day to kick in, then keeps going for a rather long time after. Any fix for this? Also the Speedo is completely wrong, 60mph!? It's quick but not that quick lol

Where can you get those? Been using those red plastic ones and they are just crap, need crimped together every time you unplug

Agreed bullets suck. Crimp them tight and they should be ok

That looks like a throttle wire yes. Not sure why your pedal assist stopped working but if you reattach the white wire the throttle should work
