    LCD 861 display

    tricky situation. I would not want to use the light switch on the LCD for my front light. Any accident involving the light may damage the LCD and meld the cable that goes between the LCD and the controller, expensive to replace. The light probably has its own switch, wiring the light straight...

    UK to Harmonise Electric Bike Law with Europe?

    TBH, I don't have a throttle on by bike, so the question is purely hypothetical. I am considering upgrading my BBS01 for the XMAX torque sensing CD motor. The reason I am asking it is because possibly one out of 3 e-bike buyers (not your kind of customers Col) need it for mobility issue. If the...
