    Conversion kits which battery to buy ?

    Before buying a battery, you need to look at your controller and see what current is written on it. You can't just buy any 24v battery. It needs to be able to supply at least the amount of the maximum current allowed by the controller. Ideally, you should aim for about 5 amps of headroom, so if...

    Wisper 705SEL Lost throttle

    A continuity test won't tell you much. pull the hot melt glue off one side of the connector so that you can get at the metal terminals. Switch the bike on completely ready to go, then stuff your probes up the back of the connector until they touch the metal. Between red and black, you should...

    Help! Cyclotricity Speed Settings

    Beginners guide to batteries

    Those cells won't work on an ebike. If the nominal capacity is 1500mAh, they're completely shagged if you get anything less than 1200mAh. Only use new cells in an ebike battery, otherwise you'll be building your battery twice.

    Wisper Hi Ho, I'm Antonella!

    The easiest solution would probably be a bafang BBS01 mid-motor kit with a rack battery. You'll probably have to adjust the chain-guard bracket a bit to line up with the new chainwheel, or maybe even trim some of it to fit. Those old bikes have unusual sized wheels. a front hub-motor could...

    KT controller - throttle is stronger than PAS ?

    Mine doesn't work like that. If there's no pedalling, it works as a speed controller like on any other bike; however, as soon as you pedal, it becomes a full power switch instead.

    Ebco m45 help please

    This is what I keep warning people about. Stick with standard Chinese electrics or Bosch or Shimano. Anything else might lead to a situation like this. Unfortunately there are hundreds of new ebike systems springing up and fading out all the time. Sooner or later whatever you have will need to...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    You need a low pass filter on the arduino output for the torque sensor! You cannot connect a pwm signal to a controller's input. Forget about your code. Get the basics right first. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Appnotes/90003250A.pdf

    KT controller - throttle is stronger than PAS ?

    Yes, just to clarify, the throttle will always be stronger on all levels 1 to 4, since none of them give full power, but there should be no difference on level 5, which does give full power.
