    Carrera vengeance kt controller and lcd3

    6v is possible but sounds excessive, it depends on the cells used. Not forgetting using athrottle one wil be pulling max amps so maybe it is asimple fact that the cells can't handle the sudden 100% current demand via throttle.

    21700 battery build

    I usually build over a couple of days as i have other chores to carry out as well. The battery is used witha tsdz2 and a KT, with the KT though if one goes by the charge bars then the first one drops out quickly . I always use the voltage readout and ignore any charge bars. The TSDZ2 has...

    Following on from my introduction to this forum I have questions

    By the time most users get to 500 cycles the battery will have aged naturally, so fuly charging isn't an issue if the battery is to be discharged promptly. I doubt many get near 250 charges unless a daily rider / heavy user.

    Help! First timer conversion help

    2 x up front I have uses a sunrace cheap £12 - £15 front mech . A triple mech should have the reach , you may need some 1mm spacing washers for the chain rings. I used a104bcd tsdz2 spider and normal chain rings. 32t is as low as you can go.

    Help! First timer conversion help

    Not much in it . 48v 7ah gives 336wh and the 36v slightly more 378wh. Make your mind up regarding which voltage tsdz to buy as the 36v model will not work at 48v. TSDZ doesn't need brake sensors unless a throttle is fitted, I have the non throttle version and have no need for one. I use 44v...

    21700 battery build

    All battery discharge should be female side to prevent accidental shorts. Battery charge ports use male with a female on the charger connection. If your battery has male XT90 then change it for a female, which means you will also have to change the controller one as well.

    Solder up a short 7cm - 10cm charge adapter XT one end an a 5.5mm x 2.1mm vdc jack on the other end (assuming one is talking 5.5mm charge jack). In #1 you can see my adapter sitting across the BMS in the third pic, it has male xt60 and male dc 5.5 x 2.1. One can buy M/F XT's as with any...

    Help! Bafang 250w Motor Keeps cutting out

    So this is BBS01 , if you have fitted a brake cut off/s then check carefully it's fitting as this will cause the issue you describe. In fact if fitted disconnect it/them and go for a ride to see if the issue goes away.

    New Frame - what Headset do i need??

    I used Paneracer comet 700 x 38c's on my frame and have approx. 8mm gap on the sides and to the rear of the frame. My 3XB 700c doesn't have rim boss's. Some 3XB frames are 26" mtb size , so suspect that is what you have ! Your frame likely isn't a 700c cyclo cross / road bike frame.

    21700 battery build

    BMS is same port so charge & discharge is via the xt 60. Since this build I have had issues with DALY BMS's failing on my bottle battery so have decided to look elsewhere for future BMS , thus far though this BMS has been ok.

    Following on from my introduction to this forum I have questions

    No it is part charge and 1/2 a charge, if you had to go out on an errand and then came back and charged it again and it took 75% to fully charge it then you will have 1 & 1/4 charges to the charge cycle rate.

    Following on from my introduction to this forum I have questions

    The main reason why we hear of ebike problems mainly with china hub bikes is because nearly all LBS have no idea how they work or how to rectify a issue, that said fault finding by a bike shop will run into silly money if they knew how. The proprietary bikes are so easy for them to fault find ...

    Strange brake behaviour - your advice please

    You still have air in the system , as most bike will . the reservoir as mentioned will often have an air pocket and inverting the bike will induce the air in to the brake line. Once the brakes are burped and working fine again one coudl top up the reservoir to reduce the air pocket

    Assist not kicking in

    As the throttle has deicded not to work along with the PAS as well then the fault is likely to be a component failure . Your controller wiring has useful labelling to identify the wiring, a nice touch. If the bike has brake cut out sensors then make sure they are working ok , the easiest way...

    Assist not kicking in

    One will need to try and carry out certain tests to see where the cause may lie, however not all bikes will easily aklow this as one expects the connectors may be molded w/p type. Firstly I would check the controller phase connections for heat or burn marks. After that probably a resistance...

    New Frame - what Headset do i need??

    The head set should come with a fork crown race to match the bottom bearings cup angle , don't forget to fit the crown race before fitting the fork. I have used a correct dia length of tubing and a mallet to tap the crown race in to place or if you are careful a wide blade screwdriver and...
