I may not have plugged the proprietary waterproof connection in hard enough. I'm going to try again now.

Thank you John and D8veh, that wiring diagram is brilliant. So I've been through every configuration on the list and unfortunately not a peep from the CST. I then tested the setup on the SWXK and it worked, suggesting the setup was sound. I'm not sure where to go from this point. Apologies...

I've bought some crocodile test clips and tried a dozen or so combinations but I gather there are many many permutations possible between the five active wires. I think just laying out a graph of possible permutations will take me a few hours, let alone testing them. I don't have a mathematical...

I'm afraid that's not correct - the markup is very modest - about £5 more than you'd pay if you'd import and do a wheelbuild yourself, which seems to me a great price for a guarantee and support. Xiongda's kit is £160 + £40 (20% + 6% VAT and duty) + £10 customs handling fee, i.e. £210, whereas...

I agree it's sometimes a tough life, I just think they should be treated as though they choose their actions is all. Even if there is as you imply, a reduction in inhibition etc, that's more not less reason for the justice system to apply the logic of deterrence, given the threshold for...

Being made to think you're going to be hit is a thing too, as is thinking a driver needs to change so they don't do that again to someone else. They've legal implications even. And didn't Steve have to take evasive action? Whether or not the guy's successful performance was heartfelt, Steve...

Just released Tuesday. X-rays of exploding & exploded 18650s. Scroll down for pics. Video here (not v illuminating) - explosion at 1:28.

While the SWXK was spinning, the CST wasn't responding, unfortunately. I wonder if that had to do with the fact that the controller connector had an extra white wire on the CST side, and on the controller side there wasn't anything. Just rechecked both again and same. The blue bullet connector...

Hurrah! It's alive!!! Thank you guys!!

I'm not sure if this is what finished ebikes look like (except the Endless Sphere monsters and they just do that because they're baadass)

I've tried to test another controller with led rather than lcd display, however the battery connections don't match the 'pole' type battery connection on my type 09 battery. Does anybody know what would be a good next step please? I've got as far as I can without buying more stuff.

Oh dear. All wired up for motor test (before sorting brake issue - no brake cutoffs installed), LCD on ok, headlight on/off ok, turn throttle, no power. Check all wires, wires appear to be in the places they ought to be. Could controller be at fault? It's this one.

Thanks. I've pasted below a photo of an actual brake lever connected to the controller's brake connector, and then the bare wires of the HWBS splayed next to it.

That's a very strange argument. Perhaps you could tell me how that works?

Why so hostile? I feel quite stung by your dismissiveness. I think it's at least arguable there was a commercial comparison of the two bikes, with the implication they were comparing two road legal machines, which they were not. The implication is there because 1) the volt is a road-legal...

That's right, I think though it would be the general regulator ofcom, seeking what I think would be the standard remedy of a prominent apology and explanation, and publication of a ruling on the ofcom website detailing the successful complaint, which would hopefully be picked up on by the...

Thanks . Does this one look sufficiently flat? It's very hard to tell from all the photos. Is it only required for one side of the motor, and if so which side please?

Oh by the way - I say 'you need the Moderate if you lean forward' but in all honesty I don't know, I've never used one, I just know I've put Dutch handlebars on my bike and the Relaxed seems to fit that idea, so please don't take my word for it about the other style. Might be one to try in a...

No probs, where the text is purple or blue and underlined in my post, those are links I've inserted. Let me know if you want me to find the name of the cheapo copycat version, as an original costs up to £50 (although if you shop around sometimes it's only £30.)

Have you tried any of these Tony? I think this one is the most likely to be well made of those. I have issues with the nerves down there and also require something a bit different, I got this one , (which has a gap down the middle) which is is on a flat keel for upright Dutch-style cyclists, but...
