    Ebike wheel wont stay on

    With your motor I'd personally go with rigid frame and fork out for a Suntour NCX or thudbuster - If you want all suspension with motor it would be best to save hard and buy OEM but you'll be look at £3000+ Voodoo, Vitus, haibike etc, not my forte though I was lucky to remember a few names. The...

    Ebike wheel wont stay on

    Yep all that cash spent on "metal putty" could, as @guerney rightly says buy a metal frame, in fact the cheapo bike usually stocked in local bike shops for a quick to work & back sales are normally steel circa £150. I will look at my local I am going there 2mo.

    Yosepower hub kits.

    I know all to well how easy bits fail, that's the main reason I purchased a load of Aliexpress spares before the impending doom of the cost of living crisis bites. Tbf I now have an entire kit+, just in case. It is surprising how much we have become accustom to our ebikes just been ready to go...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    Did you try the rice trick, I did on my first LCD3 after a major "caught out" summer storm, lucky I had a spare and used that for a week whilst the other rested in the rice, it actually worked like a treat, if you haven't tried turning it on since the rain, it could be salvageable, as for...

    Lost my torque washer - where to get spares? (Bafang torque washer?)

    Try "anti rotation" washers. I was thinking about doing a "show" thread about torque washers and the different stylings. I have had 4 different motors and each motor came with slightly different styles, some are better than others. The recent mxus variants are like the pic above I did not like...

    Top 10 E-Bike crashes

    2nd one possible slippery manhole cover, been there but never at speed so never fell off, just kicked out a little. I get the feeling most are throttle use and most are contact with wet metal + more like motor bikes the are "E".

    Ebike wheel wont stay on

    Stick a magnet on it, if it don't stick, it's aluminium - Mayb consider a lower wattage motor thats geared not direct drive or a steel frame but t-arms are always a safe bet, there's no guarantee you'll not spin out even on steel - there is plenty of threads on here of ppl in the same boat as...

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    That's a nice idea but the system has made it too easy for the greedy profit off Gov subsides and tax payers bail outs, I fear it will become more unbalanced, the corruption and rot will get worse and stay with us all for a long time to come.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    that's liberal capitalism for you... by design... if you keep the money in the country how do borrow more or print more. The more there is the easier it is for the wealthy to own more & the means of production. The devaluing is financial repression again by design.

    KT-LCD display needed for project

    so I wonder if this was by design ie OEM propriety or different factory/older spec or error in planning?? I figured YOSE was propriety but it looks Bafang but it was only the 1to4 cable on the brakes, LCD/throttle worked as KT standard pin out. And I didn't want to risk purchasing Bafang brake...

    KT-LCD display needed for project

    Yer I have that with YOSE brake sensors, this LCD is std male to female. The PSW mxus front came with a dual volt controller with a light connector, now I have one controller with a light connector but its pass-through as in always on, this kit came with a 9 pin 1to4 cable not the normal 8 pin...

    KT-LCD display needed for project

    Yer I assumed as much I just want it to check before selling it - Yep its a 5 pin julet and worked with my std 1to4 cable. I am assuming @Dominic Coleman can chop it and jst it?? never had the need

    KT-LCD display needed for project

    Cool wheels. Yes it is Julet. I need to check one thing on the LCD cable, it is KT but the 1to4 cable had an extra pin for the controller, I think it's LCD control for a light output on the controller. I highly doubt the LCD pin layout is affected but I would like to check first. I will also...

    KT-LCD display needed for project

    Tbf you may be able to get cheap non-julet from China, aliexpress should add VAT at POS so it will come straight through, I've order a few bike parts(non-ebike) and they arrived within 2 weeks. Check prices if you have time. I was thinking £20 min, tracked courier(cheaper than RM) included. I...

    KT-LCD display needed for project

    I will dig my LCD5 out - No obligation either way - there is something I need to check first. My trouble with the LCD5 is the control pad is built in to the display for a newbi this imo would not be as good as the LCD3 - Zero miles brand new.

    Wheel motors and punchers, non pneumatic tyres?

    When I first tried slime I was almost annoyed by it, but once I got used to the fact they needed settling before inflating (IMO) & they are only really designed to help you get home to replace.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Could be the fact I worked in violent pubs n clubs over the years, seen a lot mind blowing horror not too mention the personal tragedy of people I once knew from stabbings to suicide.
