    Rockhopper 8Fun Conversion

    I have same kit and controller. Interesting it pulled 16amps as the controller not rated that high ? I've had no issues with lugs but my bike has a steel frame - guess jachandy is aluminium which not so strong. I did end up using some of those felt anti scratch pads on the battery holder is it...

    Solid / Puncture Proof Tyres any advice please?

    I see your profile as Essex Rivera - near southend on sea ? If so then I'm sure woosh bikes could change your tires for you . They are ebike specialists so no issue for them at all

    Ok, i had another thought (which like most won't work due to annoying little things like physics ) What about having my 9ah 36v setup as is but also having a 5ah lipo setup at 44.4 with a switch to choose between the two power supplies I could use the 36v as the main battery but, on clear...
