    STVZO Lights (with lenses)

    I successfully rode and used the KT 17/20a 6 mosfet controller with wired light/horn output for some 3 - 4 years via the paired horn/ light switch before I scrapped the hub powered norco hybrid bike because of a snapped seat tube. I wired the rear and front light in parallel using simple 36...

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    I use both mini hub and tsdz2. The mini hub Bafang G370 I have found to be superb, high internal motor gearing allowing for greater unpowered fiding shoul done need to conserve battery for extra range. No issue with towing my overloaded trailer when I accidently miscalculated the weight of...

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    For parcels I use Interparcel online , one can pic and choose the carrier and the price you want to pay per item. One then arranges for the carrier to pick up the parcel/s from your location and some (if you have no printer like me) will print out the address label for you. I sold my new unused...

    Eleglide experiences

    It is possible that although e40 claims to be Hall error, that with your riding slowly up an incline also may have been a thermal cut out . Mosfets in the controller will temporary short out if they reach their maximum temperature, next time it occurs one can see if this is so by trying to...

    Reduced range in the cold

    I buy Akm 128c from china because it isn't available here, also the small G370 . Very few hubs are simply not available here.

    Opinions Of Engwe engine 2 pro For 15 year old

    Very few in the UK will touch a chines hub bike either, simply because they have not the know how. Most only sell middrive and then a machine tells them what iswrong with it. One reason why resources like this one and the .de forums exist because the greater combined knowledge is top class.

    Settings for KT Controller and Swytch Hub

    One would say yes , there is little logic in not having a fully sensored hub.

    Giant Twist battery, what are the 4 pins, and 5 on charger XLR please?

    Giant use handshaking /Canbus , a generic battery or charger won't work . 40.8v is low if that is a full charge , try putting it on charge again and see it if increases to at least 41.4/41.5v.

    Can i run KT36/48-ZWSR without display

    One reason why I stopped using the throttle with my KT controllers because of the speed control they are either on or off at max power, if they were to use current control and that control was linked to PAS level selection then the power use would be much better.

    Battery switch leave on?

    The switch is usually a bms switch , if one leaves it on then when not in use then one risks the battery draining . It is quite simple during charging switch the bms on once connected for charging and once it has finsished the charge cycle switch off.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    My energy prices and SC remain unchanged with Octopus , my tracker tariff varies daily . Last dual fuel energy bill was £75 covering 29/11 - 28/12. Looking forward to the completion and connection of Derril Water to the grid late this year which should knock 30 - 40% off the cost of my future...
