Please read this post by Flecc before jumping to conclusion: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/1-1-2016-todays-change-in-the-law.23007/page-9#post-290873 Ebikes with throttle can be sold until 1/1/2018.

I would not have thought that the second brake sensor would make a difference. Both brake sensors are wired together, down to a single wire. I am as much in the dark as you are. Have you tried setting a higher maximum speed to see if it makes any difference?

how long do you have to stop before the electrics work again?

that never happened to me, I don't know. Just a thought, if you lift the rear wheel up and push on the thumb throttle, does the rear wheel keep going?

that does not look kosher to me. You pay then wait for a month for delivery. By that time, your paypal protection has lapsed. Then what if your bike does not turn up?

you have not done anything wrong. When the GSM hits the speed limit, it cuts off the power until it detects an acceleration in the pedelec sensor. When the motor cuts out, stop peddaling for a few seconds to slow the bike then start pedaling again should engage the motor. Some people set the...

you find the model of the freewheel or cassette, something like 'Shimano HG50' then google it up or post it here. Cassettes have a lockring at the top. freewheels have the cylindrical shape for the tool:

He's got a rear hub motor with freewheel. I've got an 8-speed sunrace freewheel for my converted Giant D5.

you don't with HDBs if you don't use the throttle. The stopping power of HDBs is sufficient. These people have HDB sensors with red (2-pin) connectors: http://wing-ebikes.co.uk/?page_id=3002

the battery is safe at over 100 C, it will never get too hot.

you can but it's very fiddly. There are about 10 wires to solder and insulate individually. I would just coil it around the seat tube and tie the loop to the bottom bracket to lose the excess length.

I've tried this same kit but with the LCD3, got to about 24mph on a cheap MTB style bike with suspension fork. Very quiet motor with excellent hill climbing ability.

8-speed gear set comes either as a cassette type or screw-on freewheel type. If it's a cassette type, you should replace the supplied 6-speed freewheel with a new 8-speed freewheel. If your old bike has a 8-speed screw-on freewheel, you should remove it from the old wheel and fit it to the new...

13A per socket.

treat yourself to a new e-bike?

the Benelli Classica may work for you but it's difficult to recommend it because you were asking for a bike capable of tackling hills with a child in the rear seat. It means to us that you need a strong motor and strong assist. The Benelli Classica does not fit this profile, the motor is a...

they quoted 15NM, 2.7kg for their motor, it's not clear which motor they use, it could well be a lightweight one from one of the many factories in China. Controllers can have different maximum current, set by replacing a shunt resistor. The rating is usually printed on the label affixed to the...

For hub motors, the torque is measured at the motor wheel. The maximum gradient that the motor can cope with is inversely proportional to the wheel's diameter. The maximum obtainable torque is measured when the motor is near stalling and depends directly on the controlller. The SWX can give...

Try wrapping a couple of large rubber bands around the battery, after the rear light to stop it rattling. Make sure the bands go under the plastic rail that the battery slides on.
