The motor is the same size as most ebike hub-motors. note the size of the controller is a bit bigger than most, so you're going to have to think about how and where you're going to install it. Don't forget to tick the LCD, harness and other stuff with that one.

This. Lobster gloves are also a good solution. You won't have cold hands with these: https://rolfraehansen.com/2016/12/04/review-aldi-waterproof-lobster-cycling-gloves/

When it flashes like that, it's often because the battery is swithed off. In that case, it's only power supply is from the capacitor/s in the controller that are fixed across the battery input and hold a small amount of charge at battery voltage. even when the battery is switched off, some...

That's complete rubbish. Ebikes are a bit heavier, which you might notice if you're a regular cyclist. Without electric help, each kilogram you add in weight either to yourself or the bike means that when you go uphill, you have to pedal approximately 1% harder to maintain the same speed as...

All electric bikes that you can buy online or in any shop are like that.

A couple of things come to mind concerning that. First scenario: With good intentions, they tried something positive, but due to not being cyclists themselves and lack of expertise in these matters, the idea was flawed, so it didn't work. They learned something from the exercise and they'll...

It's a complete waste of time and money buying those connectors. You have to solder every wire. It's exactly the same work to cut off the existing connector and solder the wires together. That's more reliable, cheaper, neater and quicker! What is it about you guys an connectors? Connectors are...

He makes a lot of good points, but fails to consider the diversity of ebikes. There are all sorts with different powers, weights and styles from mopeds to road bikes. He tried one at the extreme end of the spectrum. All his points were sound and very relevant to his mode of cycling. He also...

Are you one of those people that blocks the roundabout for ages, while you wait for a 2 second gap in front of you? When the traffic is tailing back in all three directions at a T-junction mini-roundabout, you'll never get 2 seconds in front of you because if you wauit that long, the cars from...

AFAICS, the crank and chainring are conventional bike stuff and completely independent from the drive system. That brings me to the next problem. Look at the gearing on the road version. They have a 10T top gear and only 32T chainwheel, so 60 rpm on the crank gives 192 rpm on the wheel, which...

Warning! Don't get an LED panel with a KT controller. You will almost certainly need to change some settings, which can only be done with the LCD.

I had exactly that situation. I was turning right at a mini-roundabout. A car was approaching from the right, but I was there first, so went onto the roundabout; however, the car in front of me stalled and blocked me, so I wasn't able to get off the roundabout. The woman on the right didn't stop...

It's a Santroll controller. You can't buy them from resellers. you can only buy them as official spare parts from people that deal in the bikes and their spare parts. All controllers work the same, so they're interchangeable as long as you don't mind doing the wiring and changing the...

The ratio is actually 8:1. You're brain isn't working properly - the wheel rotates at 1.8th of the speed of the motor, so the torque multiplies, not divides. if the motor could produce 160Nm, then there would be 1280Nm at the back wheel and the MTB version claims 190Nm, so that would be 1520Nm...

Buy the controller, LCD, PAS, throttle and brakes as a complete set if you don't want to change any connectors. Obviously, that'll take more time to install, but you might find that your existing brakes and PAS are compatible. That KT controller won't be compatible with your control panel...

You think you've got it bad. Have a look at what I have to contend with as I pass my Tesco. It's always very busy. It's actually smaller than it looks in the photo. The mini roundabout is about 6 car lengths from the crossing. Cars don't have time to indicate because they're too busy watching...

Disconnect it and bridge the red and blue wires with or without a switch if you want to work your bike without it. That'll give you normal throttle and PAS level 1. If you want a fixed higher level of PAS. Get a 10K preset pot and connect one end to any 5v wire (PAS, throttle or motor hall), the...

Open up the link above, study the picture on the right, then come back and tell us how much torque you think the motor makes at 7.5mph hill-climbing speed. I'm going to say about 0.4Nm, which is some way off your 160Nm.

What are you on about? It's not a crank motor and it has about 10:1 reduction to the wheel, so it would make 1/10th the torque at the motor.

I've got at least one 24v one.
