    New Frame - what Headset do i need??

    I would use a better fork then the suntour, I used 700c nex version I think and they were quite crude , clunky and noisy though did the job for hammering along trails and offroad on the downs

    Following on from my introduction to this forum I have questions

    One doesn't need to spend much on an ebike for day to day use , 4K is just so that one doesn't lose face with the club mates or ones ego. Just look at SW and his pride and joy he has spent millions on , then his mate does him big time with a BBHSD on a stock mtb.

    Biggest/most powerful 20" front wheel motor for cargo bike?

    I would disagree with you and say middrive , I fitted a tsdz2 to my Kona Ute and tow a trailer at times with 90 -100kg load . That said my small 1.6kg 250w G370 bafang front hub also manages the same load though my terrian use though is mainly offroad and is pretty flat bar one main road incline.

    New Frame - what Headset do i need??

    I have the same 3XB frame , I 'm sure I used FSA # 10 integrated head set. Though it was at least six or seven years ago now when I built it up. Just check the specs diameter and then measure you bike to be 100%.

    Need a new controller

    A component on the BMS board has failed , one is best to save messing about by replacing the BMS board. I have had similar with my diy bottle battery using crappy DALY BMS , two went wrong within six months. The fault likely lies with one of those legged mosfets. One could try re-wetting the...

    assist cut off ?

    Your fault/issue is most certainly likely in the battery , though you could have a look at the phase wire connections at the controller end . Look to see if they are melted or have become warm and show discolouration at all.

    assist cut off ?

    Your battery charge of 40.5v is low and indicates an imbalance or a weak cell group. Be very careful leaving a battery on charge for extended periods , one should be able to monitor them in case of an issue. Don't leave on charge over night whilst you are a sleep unless the battery is...

    assist cut off ?

    As an example my 14.5ah dophin /09 case batteries using Sam 29E cells were fine at Pas 1 drawing a meagre 1.5a or so , I would get some range of 64km. PAS 2 drawing approx. 3.5a or so I would get 40km of range and in PAS3 drawing 7a Iwould get 12- 15km, this was with 6 year old aging cells...

    New E Bike

    If you say your bikes are expensive to repair then one can't exactly expect to get top dollar for them, £200/£300 may be more then it's worth if the cost to repair is dear. What exactly is wrong with it to make it expensive to repair ?

    Woosh Mxus xf08c cassette bearings failure

    I 've not opened a mxus so not can't say, some freehubs on these end plates are removable and some aren't. My Q128C isn't removeable and one has to buy a complete new end plate assembly , my Bafang CST is removeable once the end plate is off. Best speak to Woosh as they may carry spares if it...

    assist cut off ?

    We know a 3 spd/PAS set up usually means a speed type controller so the current in each level will be max or near as a damn. Battery age/condition and cell spec will all be critcial with such current draw. One is assuming we are talking max 15a current for an OEM bafang system bike. From...

    assist cut off ?

    If the battery is cutting out with 40v registering then there is an issue as mentioned with battery. It would need an expert or someone with the diy knowledge to be able to check for the issue with the battery. It can be one of several factors , battery age , balance and cell quality, a balance...

    Help! Slight tweaking question

    With KT the current rating relates to the power use in PAS level 4, pas level 4 is 50% current power. It is only PAS level 5 or throttle use that will deliver the max rated current of 15a. Typically with KT one will see the following max current % in each PAS level. PAS1 13% /1.95a, 70w. PAS2...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I switched last night and within 48hrs the switch will be complete. I have ditched Shell and gone a bit greener with Octopus and have applied for their tracker tarrif. On another note I have decide solar on the house is not viable for 4 - 6 months of the year to yield enough on E/W position as...

    Review my latest battery build? Molicel p42a 10s4p 21700

    @Moecycle see #5 where I have crudely painted a copy of your pic, one can see the imposed Y leads I have placed . For the copper rod/ bar which you have on the first and last cell group, cut your busses to size then carry out the soldering off the battery . Once done one should (if using...
