    Beginners guide to batteries

    That doesn't mean anything at all without context.The testing pocedure should be: 1. Charge each one to 4.2v 2. Discharge each one at 1 amp to 3.1v. Make sure that the mAh reading and timer start from zero for the test. 3. The number of hours to discharge will give you the capacity in Ah, so 90...

    Throttle issue

    They're all a bit low, so there could be something wrong with your meter. If it were just the full throttle signal, I would have said that you've broken the end-stop, but I can't draw that conclusion when the other two are low as well. Have you got a new AA battery you can ckeck? It should be...

    Help! light bike very good on steep hills?

    It's not about what you want. It's about what you're allowed. If the train company doesn't allow non-folding bikes, it'll be a long ride to work. All I said is to check what the rules are before you make any decisions if you want to avoid disappointment. all the different train companies have...

    Use Google to search for pictures of the narkings before you think that a bit of wet and dry and a rattle can will sort it.

    Help! light bike very good on steep hills?

    Some trains only allow folding bikes and they have to be folded before you go on the platform. Make sure you know exactly what the rules are on your trainline before you buy a bike.

    hi, new to this site, looking for ebike advice

    You've just described the Woosh Big Bear LS or their Santana 3. I think I'd prefer the Santana, but it depends what they have in stock.

    They did some weird things with that bike, like locking normal user settings. I wonder if they locked it on full power or normal. Have a look at this and see if it works on yours. You press the set button until the screen changes, put in the password (try 8306, then 8007, then 8088) then short...

    Upgrade controller

    That's good to know. I wonder if that's the same as switching over any two phase wires, which is what I believe the other guy did?

    Help! Spares for Elise Folding ebike (bikes4u) 2004

    The six wires are three for the throttle. one for the battery indicators and two for the switch. You can use any throttle you want as long as you join the three wires in the correct sequence. Likewise, you can use any switch you want. That gives you the all options for the type of throttle you...

    Bafang 750w

    The 250w one is not the same size as the 750w one. The mountings and reduction system are the same, but the 750w one has a wider motor because it hs bigger windings with thicker wire. The two motors and controllers are interchangeable, so it's possible to have a motor officially marked 250w, but...

    Ebco m45 help please

    Instead of the Ebco manual, you should be looking for the electric system manual that comes from TranzX. This system is also used in other bikes, like the Raleigh Spirit. I found this guide to TranzX error codes...

    Help! Looking for advice on E-bike purchase

    There are two main things to consider: Firstly, who's going to fix it when it goes wrong? Secondly, how much do you want to pay? The cheaper bikes can generally be fixed by yourself if you have or get the knowhow. Others can only be fixed by dealers with special diagnostic equipment. I've...

    Stolen Raleigh Motus Tour Electric Bike from outside Sainsbury’s in Stapleford, Nottingham on Saturday 27th February 2021 at 2.30 pm

    In the 50's everybody used to leave their front door open in the hope that someone would want to come in for a cup of tea. Now you have to put reinforcements on the door to stop people braking in. I went out for a walk in the centre of Tokyo about 20 years ago and was surprised to see that...

    I can understand that you're excited about your new bike. Hopefully, it's going to make you very happy. Why not start your own thread so that you can tell us all about it? You don't seem to have any understanding, nor sympathy for Perseus's needs. He's been making regular posts on this forum...

    Battery issues

    I can't say it's normal, but it's not necessarily a problem either. The BMS has a mosfet between the charge port and the cell-pack on the negative wire, so your connection is not direct. Maybe there's a protection diode too. You'd have to get your meter out to find out where the drop is...

    Sw900 Error 08 Help

    Between ground and white, you should have approx 1.2v with the throttle shut and 3.8v with it fully open. If you get 3.4v with it shut, you've broken it.
