Charge the battery fully if 24v it will charge to 29.4v, then go for a ride very locally not straying to far from your house. I can't really see you will go to far may a mile or two before it conks outs if the controller is 36v rated as the controller LVC will kick in and cut battery power...

214 won't be a far out for the the q128 , do you know the actual motor gear reduction ratio ? Set the speed limit to 25km/h in the display and the correct wheel size then go for a ride with a gps , see if the two read outs match closely . If the display over reads then try lowering the P1...

If you have 36v/48v dual voltage controller then a 24v battery won't work . The max charge for 24v is 29.4v which is lower then the 30v lvc of most 36v controllers , with some controllers it may work for a few minutes but the voltage will soon be too low. It appears the shop /LBS doesn't have...

40 miles is short ride to me.

Us guys with rear hubs or internal gear hubs don't have a QR on the rear so fitting a trailer isn't an issue.

Yes.

Settings should all be the same as per 36v as the display auto detects whetehr 36 or 48v is used. P5 might be the only setting to change if you like the battery bars to disappear alittle more linearly so try it up to P15. C5 if one want's less current can be changed now you are running at 48v...

Even my King meter display has a back up battery they for keeping the time clock accurate so wll wear out eventually.

It does appear that any consequences for riding an illegal ebike (motor vehicle in law) are not the same as other motor vehicles , in most part all we hear are of confiscation and very occassionally one may hear of a fine and points but they seem to be rare.

I'm in agrreance here , harsher penalties (temporary bans) for these danagerous offences likely woul dbe more effective then a paltry fine and points . 1 year may be to much but certainly 3 - 6 months to start with, then longer bans on any repeat offending.

The kit on the bike one would think is good , for a test connect the charger wires direct to the controller/ battery connection. The motor will work if all is ok. Battery wise a new wisper or any 2 wire generic battery will work, one can even buy rack batteries with a new rack to be 100% sure...

14s can't be regarded as 48v as the nominal can't be near 48v or 3.7v , the nearest it can get is 3.42v per cell which is not far from empty. Too much muddying of the waters with those who use intermediate voltages, I use 12s /44v and call it just that not 36v nor 48v. It is an in between voltage.

Yes, though will provide 13% less power .

If the battery ever does need changing then any generic ( 2 wire ) battery will work . It can be a down tube , rear rack, frog type or front bag /basket battery, how the battery is mounted is what suits the best.

Woosh bikes in Southend is your nearest best option to fit any kit to a bike , just a case of getting there . Not to far for a chuff chuff ride out to them.

Problem with rear racks and heavy stacked tools boxes is they unbalance the bike and then that also makes it back heavy , liable to wheelie or try and tip up. Even with proper weight distribution on my bikes with four panniers low down one can feel the weight /balance. For tools and the like...

One suspects the fast food riders likely will do, one suspect very few have a very good working knowledge of such items and that is found out even on this forum with folks reverse charging batteries and using dodgy practices to wake them up.

One suspects most will be illegal with overpowered / wrong rated motors , plus a stand alone throttle that works independantly. The plod are more and more catching on to thes eillegal bikes and more are being removed from the road. It's not hard to notice them riding about with ease with...

One wonders if the figures are true or just unknowledgable users who don't know the difference between the nominal battery voltage and the relating max charge voltage of said charger. 36v nom battery needing a max 42v charger , many are likely to be completely confused by the tow differences...

Or find a trailer that has L & R tow arm fitting and fit the hitch on the RHS..
