    My bottle battery I made using the LG hg2 cells has been great for a lighter weight battery giving still 25 - 30 miles range from it's 6ah footprint circa 5.2a theorectical footprint with the current I use in PAS1.

    Repurposing li- ion (18650S - 2500mAh) batteries?

    BeMuchSafer do sell a BMS with Balance but it is not same port and has a larger footprint. The without Balance same port models still have sense wires to monitor HVC (4.22v) & LVC (3.0v) for each cell group during the charge /discharge process. If the cells are very good evenly matched cells...

    Changing from hub motor to mid drive

    Reason being I suspect is that not many vendors have clue how to fault or repair them. The mid drives are simply returned back to the dealer if in warranty and one suspects that we simply don't hear of these because they are dealt with under warranty.

    Geeko conversion kit

    Expensive for what it is , but guess one is paying for phone connectivity and the benefit of small 5ah battery and then gets even sillier price wise with the larger batteries. Issue is how easy and expensive to repair/replace it, if it goes wrong. Glad to see for the first time actual...

    Repurposing li- ion (18650S - 2500mAh) batteries?

    I did post regarding the ' BMS' branded one but can't recall recommending it as I have never tried it out until yesterday and it has no balance features. I know I mentioned it as it was of a particularly small footprint ideal for my 1l water bottle battery, For sure I can't recommend the Red...

    Changing from hub motor to mid drive

    I have never had an issue repairing a puncture on a rear hub wheel. Before I used the Gaadi's , I would simply either lay the bike over and repair the puncture in situ , simply remove the tyre form one side and find the hole to repair also not forgetting to check the tyre for alien ojects...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    Front hub is my favourite if the power ratio is not too strong, my current G370 bafang is the hub I like the most out of the 5 or 6 I have used. Easy enough to pedal unassisted to about 20mph and powerful enough not to induce wheel spin. The hub is powerful enough to tow a 100kg loaded trailer.

    Throttles are illegal unless the bike is tested and certificated at a participating mot station , though it doesn't stop many form using them. They do so in the hope that they won't e caught or prosecuted. Your bothers bike is illegal as the PAS shouldn't have a switch to turn it on, PAS is...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    The hub make is unknown and doubt it is a Yose spec'd hub, it is likely a rebranded Bafang or a clone of some sort.

    battery charging

    Of course the simple easy way to know the PAS ia working correctly is to simply support the bike clear of the ground , power the bike on and in PAS1 rotate the cranks by hand .

    Yosepower hub kits.

    If a like for like change no need to change any setting , if it were an aikema hub then P1 would need altering due to the motor reduction differing.

    Changing from hub motor to mid drive

    For day to day use a hub is the more relaxing option to ride and is my errand commuting choice, the mid drive has it's merits and is my choice for my cargo bike towing. A propriety mid drive is a different beast to a mid drive kit. Before covid my go to ride bike was hub simply for...

    Which electric cargo trike? Which are most reliable?

    I would stick with what you have if the bike/kit are reliable and opt for a better trailer . ecargo's are expensive, then if opting for mid motor drive one only gets a 2 yr warranty after that should it go wrong then the motor will cost 3 or 400 £££'s to be overhauled.

    battery charging

    The PAS is an all in one unit so should work. Throttle will over ride the PAS so little point in pedalling except to look like you are riding normally for power.

    Changing from hub motor to mid drive

    It doesn't matter what you do, in the eyes of the law 500w is illegal and that is the motors rating no matter what you do to the settings. Simply tweaking and playing with settings makes no difference if the motors rating needs to be prooved.

    Bottle battery cell count

    The missing cells aren't missing . The battery design is versatile and can be configured for 24v, 36v, 48v & 52v so all cell holders would be needed for a 14s 3p battery.

    battery charging

    You will hear the motor engaging as they are not dead quite, when PAS engages one knows 100% the motor is working as the pedal action is so much easier.
