    I haven't a pic yet but on my Ute, I have heath'd a solution that works by securing a main angled support to the rear frame and the CF hitch simply bolts to the bottom of the angled support rearwards of the axle.

    Help! Motor has died (maybe!)

    This is typical of a bike dumped in a damp cold shed, condensation sets in in on electrical components causing tracking/shorting. The issue could be controller or display affected. If moisture affects the 5v line then any Hall effect component can fail and cause no motion. The only option is...

    Controller operation modes

    I would opt for current control every day over speed control whether it is a current controller hub bike or Torque sensor mid drive type bike. The ride power level is determined by the rider and not the bike system as in a speed controller.

    Storing ebikes and their electronics?

    For those who have no storage or dry frost free place for an EAPC , I would say find a space indoors and opt for a folding ebike which takes up less space.

    Is it possible to install PAS on this type of bracket? This belongs to a specialised rockhopper.

    Yes two options; 1. Use a KT V12L all in one sensor, though one has to ensure the gap between inner crank and BB face is approx. 8mm .

    Tonsheng is dead

    You didn't mention anything about getting wet ? But then again should have twigged it from the start, so many folks mention issues like yours but never divulge they rode thru a downpour or left the bike out in the rain.

    Help! I've fried my rare Mobiky Youri 16...

The KT uses current control as default which allows the user to choose how much power to use, where as the speed controllers usually just give max power until the set speed is reached. The KT delivers power as a % of...
