you can ignore the yellow wire. It's connected to the minus terminal of the battery (same as the black wire from the battery).

show us a picture inside the controller box. The battery has two main terminals, plus (red) and minus (black). Those go to the controller. Show us also a close-up picture of the controller's connectors. This one is not very clear for us old folks.

yes, make it one step at a time. Just make sure that you have power to the controller, then install the motor and connect up the motor to the controller. I see you have a throttle, connect the throttle after connecting the motor wires (blue to blue, yellow to yellow, green to green), you should...

our Post Office have agreement with China Post to deliver for free anything that arrives from abroad, it's cheaper for sellers to post from Hong Kong than bulk ship to the UK and pay our Post Office. Ironic isn't it.

undo the two small screws and lift open the top part of the blackbox in front of the battery. The controller goes inside that space, called the controller box. It's a bit of a squeeze, so leave the top of that blackbox open until you finish with the installation. Move the power wires (back...

you are pessimistic, I think. The total market for £2k-£2.5k bikes must be more than 5,000 a year in the UK. Don't think of the Bofeli motor for a moment, just keep the look of the bike like it is, carbon frame is smooth and takes on the paints like no alloy frame can, put in a (stalkingcat's...

delicious!

would you post your findings with the oil cooled BPM motor? that would solve the noise problem as well as increasing the pulling power.

keep your hair on. I like Eclipse as much as I like woosh, if you check my posts over the last 3 years, I have never until now criticised them. Anyone willing to work hard for little money deserves my respect. What I am saying is, the BBS01 and BBS02 are good kits, they should not take much...

There is nothing ambitious about selling the BBS01 and BBS02 kits. They are the easiest, most trouble free products on the market besides light bulbs (compared to hub kits or e-bikes). Why did they have to reprogram the kits? because their supplier messed up the batch? are we talking about the...

that's probably the case. The connectors are quite distinctive, 3-pins go with 3 pins etc. The power lines, motor, brake lever sensors, LED panel are all terminated with matching connectors. The difficult bit is only the pedal rotary sensor. You don't have a throttle and speed sensor with this...

may be they are pulling out of BBS02 kits. You can always post your questions here, quite a few members have the BBS01/BBS02 kits and they are not much different besides power. Woosh have BBS02 18A 48V 500W + 48V 10AH battery for £370 + £320. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit

it's not very difficult - you'll get there.

don't do anything with it until you get the full documentation and you get your head round where everything should go and how you are going to route the cables. If something goes wrong with the installation, there is always a risk that you get blamed for because it's not done by a specialist.

if you were to take this on, what do you think the UK market for it is? 50 units a year may be?

may be worth emailing their support department. As you bought it by mail order, you can always send it back if you don't want to proceed with installation.

it reads like a hard sell to me. is it possible that the seller prefers you to call his mate's mobile phone to do a deal?

RobF got a good price is because: 1) the Veblen effect of the Brompton brand 2) his excellent relationship with his local bike shop 3) other e-bikes in his local bike shop sell for more than this 4) the bike is sold with local bike shop warranty How much do you think this local bike shop...

at what power level do you think that the bike will be better equiped with a DD motor than a geared hub motor?

how much would you say the price should be if you put a different sticker on it? 1. FWG 2. Kudos 3. Volt 4. Woosh
