    Convert a Kona Cinder Cone to an electric bike; please help!

    have you checked for shorting in the main waterproof cable and the LCD? if it's just one of them, then you wouldn't have to remove the motor.

    Cyclotricity Stealth or Oxygen E-Mate MTB

    If you only have £1000 budget, then the Woosh Big Bear is about the best bang for buck. It has BPM motor and 15AH battery. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear

    Just ordered a 750w BBS02, my first electric bike !

    I thought that the BBS02 750W 48V uses 13S battery. Two 6S in series may trip LVC.

    First electric bike, few to compare up to £2000

    personally, I don't like direct drive motors for hills because of poor torque and high consumption, so I would rule the RXS out. The Ebco is well finished for a Chinese bike but again, hillclimbing performance is not great. Kalkhoff bikes are solid value but seem expensive against other German...

    Bafang BBS01 error 7

    test the voltage with a multitester when you get error 7. At least you can discount some of the possibilities.

    What are all these dodgy links?

    I rarely fill in those questionaires - I always check the URL first. There is always a risk when the page is not hosted on a legitimated (.ac.uk) website but some unknown site, for all you know, the page can contain internet malware. I think this forum should have a database of approved domains...

    My BBS01 conversion

    your colours are correct but don't connect the wires, the connectors are mismatched. You need to replace the connectors on the BBS01 side with matching crimps (3.9mm Japanese bullet connectors). Crimp the male to the red wire, the female to the black wire. You can solder the connectors but...

    My BBS01 conversion

    I unscrewed one of these levers sometime ago, can't find the damned thing whe you need it. The plunger moves a tiny magnet, about 3mm in diameter, against the body of the sensor. The sensor itself is a tiny Hall, if you rotate it 180 degrees, it changes the active signal from high to low. the...

    My BBS01 conversion

    they work on the same principle. I am thinking of borrowing your idea of making ali brackets to add sensor to my Auriga brakes. How did you cut your sheet? the edges look quite neat.

    My BBS01 conversion

    I thought your bracket has a very nice shape. could you have used the smaller sensor from the brake levers with the same technique? the sensor can be unscrewed easily, cylindrical in shape, about 4mm diameter and 10mm long.

    would it be better if the aluminium bracket was bigger and sandwich in the sensor?

    do you know where to download the datasheet for the integrated 20A controller with that 36V 8AH battery?

    they look very well thought out though: folding, crank drive, good rack, hidden battery, alloy wheels, hub gears and mobile app. They could very well succeed.

    looking for a pedelec for commuting to work and back

    about 30mph with a 48V 25A controller. The power consumption goes up very quickly with speed. With a 48V 10AH battery, I reckon 50 miles at 15mph, 15 miles at 30mph. You can mount this kind of kits on more or less any bike, MTB, road bike etc does not matter. The torque is not huge, just...
