    A fatal injury doesn't need much speed , last year I think it was poss the year before a guy died form falling off his ebike , it was a head injury I believe. I can't say where but at the time I did post it on the forum.

    KT 3 setting help please

    P4/1 means one has to pedal first before throttle becomes active, by setting C4/1 then one limits the throttle to 6 kmh . With C settings one can only select one of the parameters and one thrtottle action afaik.

    KT 3 setting help please

    One can have 6kmh walk assist with out a throttle though holding down the button/pad isn't as easy as a throttle. As you have no throttle fitted you can't have throttle max power though one can have max power via peddaling with PAS 5.

    A trailer for ebike or non ebike towing.

    I don't know will have to wait and see . I made some changes also to the battery settings and lvc settings as the system was cutting out at approx. 3 .5v per cell .

    Do I need brake sensors?

    5 or 6 mm dia by 2mm should do the job, one can always stack them as well if too weak.

    A trailer for ebike or non ebike towing.

    The TSDZ in the ute is a different beast with a lighter trailer and load , it motors along quite nicely . I bought a vaude XL tin trailer similar to the homcom's, it is a bit crappy but manages the job for what I need . The CF is still king for the heavy loads and build quality is certainly far...

    motor

    The AMK motor needs apsecial tool or a home made one to open it , the screw joint is invisible but is obscured by the cassette gears. This is the tool needed though one can make something like it or similar. My one is simply half of the one above with an semi circle /arc and just two holes to...

    Legal set speed is easy to do . Turn on display and press the up/down pads for 5 secs until the dispaly flashes , the first units to appear are speed units set the units to 25kmh. Press the middle pad again and set wheel size, press again to enter kmh or mph readout. Once done simply sw off...

    Motor location

    Depends on the motor size, bike and discipline it is to be used for, you will get arguments all day long but none are better then the other . Just a case of right motor for the use and circumstances. I'm all for a small front motor in nice steel forks esp if your terrain in the most is...

    motor

    Are you adept to repairing items or have a relative or friend/neighour who is ? The bearing may be the motor or could be the gear cluster if fitted (which one assumes one is). Can you remove the chain from the gear cluster and firstly rotate it (the gear cluster) by hand to rule out any...

    Help! Battery problems

    We have seen it before on here, someone buys a 20ah 21700 soft pack for £80 then within six or seven months it is toast, 52 cells for £80, bms , wiring , interconnetors , shrink wrap plus all the other bits and bobs just don't add up.

    Help! Battery problems

    For a soft pack like that one needs to spend a 150 - 200 quid to get something decent.

    Help! Battery problems

    It's a joke battery, they use crap cells and one is lucky to see them last 6 months or so. With batteries you get what you pay for and those types are two a penny on Aliexpress .

    Elife cutting out

    Sadly you will find this with most bike shops unless the machine an tell them they have no clue when it comes to electronics, it has been said before they are box shifters and apart form some mechanical idea they are at a loss at fault finding.

    Elife cutting out

    Hopefully you see a decent voltage when fully charged 29.05 - 29.4v for a 24v nominal battery and 41.5v - 42v for a 36v nominal battery. If under load as a pack the cells sag badly then the battery is shagged out.

    Protecting battery from road shock and vibration

    You sound like a mate of the wind up merchant who has posted on her the last two days, of course you pretend battery was alright it was only sand and sand can't catch fire. Use real cell for a realistic result then tell us what happened as tbh no one maltreats a battery like that by just...

    Help! Throttle & PAS not working

    Your old controller was 22a so look for similar controller , you can use 17a but it will have a little less oomph at the top end. Though with a small 10ah battery one might be better off with less current so the 17a would be fine.

    Protecting battery from road shock and vibration

    Decently built batteries with proper mechanical connections and cell holders are fine , glued cell packs may suffer issues with vibration and the glued surfaces failing but likely not with the mechanical connection. Overall there is little to worry about from a commercial battery, the...

    Help! Battery problems

    Battery is either shagged out or is out of balance , it will need a competent person to open and check the battery, from there one can decide if it can be remedied. If unable to go about the above then one will need to show a pic of the battery to get a reccommend for a replacement.
