    BMS - common port or not?

    The BeMuchSafer BMS brand I bought is same port and has a switch you just have to look for them, It doesn't though have charge balance just lvc/hvc protection. One can always wire in an active balancer to look after the cell banks. Bms 10s 36v 15a Temperature | Bms 13s 20a Temperature -...

    Can I test if my battery is faulty and if so how?

    A few basic checks: Double check the charger output is 42v with a meter reading. Charge the battery till light goes green then check the battery voltage soon after charging and a few hours later at rest, one should see approx. 42v or near as damn it. Anything less like < 41v indicates a cell...

    Complete Beginner, what should I buy?

    Carrying a full size bike up and down each time may soon lose it's appeal, might be worth considering a decent 20" wheeled folding bike.

    Indications are all three fets are faulty or at least two if only one showed 20k, on the Red side one should see infinity or a reading of one any zero reading is bad.

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    The akm128 label will say it is 500w or 800w (they do fall off) unless they have changed the marking to a laser etched one. Though due to it's relative small size I doubt in any one will disagree with any 250w label placed on it.

    Perry Shopper controller availability

    If it is front wheel drive I would check the motor wiring an motor connector as already mentioned. Any brake lever wih sensor can be ruled out by disconnecting them at the controller.

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    It's a shame , the 250/350w RX hub is the same hub just marked different for the markets. 250w doesn't cut it in North america and I guess some othr markets but 350w sounds alot more impressive.

    Victoria Pendleton - levels of power too crude and abrupt

    The percieved hub motor drag on a geared hub is purely the extra weight/mass centralised in the wheel that one must overcome when no power is used. Unlike a normal bike wheel which has a small 200g spokes hub the motor can be anything form 1.4kg - 4.4kg , most OEM hubs will be 3kg or more so...

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    The 95rs and the other two models I think are OEM models, no mention of the reduction ratio on the website just that they are 250w rated. But they state 27/32kmh and the std 24/36/48v . My akm128c /Q128C had a paper label that fell off but now supports a stick on aluminium one (on the...
