    Swytch kit: compatibility with non-Swytch components?

    For controllers I now use the 9 mosfet ones as they have more mosfets and handle heat better then the 6 mosfet controllers , but one may be constrained by the space available to fit one. I opt for a 22a model and simply reduce the current parameter via the display settings. For PAS it depends...

    Swytch kit: compatibility with non-Swytch components?

    One can use any KT controller or lcd display , they will all be compatable if the connector are the same so buy from the same seller. There are few exceptions where some companies go down the custom route using their own software but these are far and few between. The 100sx will be suitable...

    Bosch 36V PowerTool Batteries - decent mount for eBike available ?

    The specs claim 14awg so the wire is capable of more then 10a if it is silicone awg. If the wiring isn't silicone then change it as the silicone awg handles heat better plus is highly flexible. One assumes the battery footpring for 18v &3 6v is the same except for a larger battery stack size...

    Legal Pitfalls

    It matters not if that bike is retricted to 250w & 25km/h , it is illegal and requires registration and all the other legalities to go with it as a moped class .

    battery charging

    The bike is electric so Pas is the main object of the bikes system so that it (PAS) can work all the time when powered under 15.5mph, pointless having it on the bike if it doesn't work. When PAS doesn't work it is either a fault with the PAS or a wrong setting. I don't know your controller or...

    Swytch kit: compatibility with non-Swytch components?

    Hub is aikema 100sx. Controller is lishui , the controller and display often need paring up via programming. It best to simply use the well regarded KT systems to replace any controller for ver sitility & compatibility issues.

    battery charging

    The PAS will kick in any time you are unde rthe speed restriction of 15.5 mph, so if yours isn't working then there is a fault. We need a pic of the PAS sensor/magnet to see if there is an issue, it may be incorrectly set up.

    Legal Pitfalls

    Go to CAB and TS as obviously the bike is selling illegal bikes that they should be warning or telling potential buyers about. This sort of shoddy selling needs stamping on as so many do not know the pitfalls or what an illegal bike looks like.

    The worst bit about LBS who don't work on rear hub bikes is the chance of damaging the motor cable if they aren't careful or aligning the two ends correctly. Most thata sell mid drive will look at hub bikes as inferior and won't work on them, most have no idea how easy and relaxing hub bike...

    PAS whether cadence or torque assist will work on any terrain, obviously lower the gear the easier pedalling is. For the front chain rings usually the large or middle one is likely best to use on flat terrain, only using the smaller one if one finds it hard to turn the cranks on hils. For...

    Dan Walker warns cyclists after bike crash - 'The helmet I was wearing saved my life'

    'The standard' reporting of the accident is typical of the media and is nearly always wrong, why oh why do they in accurately say or state cylist collides with car ? When it is clear as day that the car has taken him out . The headline or report should say 'car driver hits knocks cyclist of...

    Torque arms recommendation

    I don't think it is worth tapping a new one esp on that inner corner.

    Torque arms recommendation

    Try the TA axle fitting on it's own reversed to see if it wil align with the M5 tapping , the TA will be more secure and neater as a one piece fitting rather then the two piece set up. To this point, I make my own TA's up out of 2 - 3mm steel as a one piece item. Once I have the axle shape cut...

    Dan Walker warns cyclists after bike crash - 'The helmet I was wearing saved my life'

    I wouldn't put my self in a position like that on a large giratory roundabout, although not his fault it is inviting trouble as he has from an unattentative driver. Ultimately the only way to make these drivers see the errors of their ways is by sueing them heavily for compo, then when they...

    Not much grease on the sun gear and planetary gears, as it is apart worthwhile giving it a slap of more grease. It will even run a bit quieter.

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

    If the sellers only recommend 3.5v as lvc then they don't have much faith in the product, 3.5v is well above that which a decent 18650 will operate at. But then again as it is a crappy no name brand one can't expect to much.

    Swytch kit: compatibility with non-Swytch components?

    Hub motors are nothing special in that they are generic three phase and mostly today sensored, if the hub motor cable is a 9 pin julet type ( show a pic to confirm) then yes simply buy a new controller paired with a new display form the same supplier. If you want speed control then any of the...
