    'whaTTfornow' new? Electric bike

    It's the same sort of arangement as Neal's Swizzbee. It has a lot of advantages over a conventional crank-motor, as the power doesn't go through the chain and gears. The advantages over a hub-motor are more centralised mass and less unsprung mass in the wheel, so better handling and suspension...

    Easi-fit Ebike front hub kit

    I don't have to pedal pedal because I can use the motor that our kind Chinese friends supplied to me. It's you that might enjoy pedalling. I'll enjoy motoring. I'm just out for a ride now while the sun is shining.

    Conversion kit for 20'' folding bike

    The speeds I mention are based on much personal experience and are for a person of moderate weight and moderate pedal effort. When we talk about the max RPM of the motor, that's no load, i.e. with the wheel in the air. The max rpm is at the nominal voltage. When the battery is fully charged...

    The comment was for fl2021. He's the one that's interested in the Asda charging station.

    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    Let's say it works. What's the difference in sitting in McDs for 5 hours while your battery charges or Asda. At least in McDs, you have your battery and charger with you. How are you going to stop someone nicking your charger or are you going to stand next to it for 5 hours?

    Battery issues

    If a cell gets an an internal short and it's connected to others, they're all shorted. Sometimes, the BMS bleed resistors stay on. The bleed current is only about 100mA, but that will drain a fully charged cell group to 0v in about 4 days. If you want to keep the BMS, you must test for this...

    2nd bike build

    That's not possible with a normal crank motor conversion, as the crank is part of the motor.

    Help! Bottle battery has died..Burisch GT250

    The Burisch has a separate controller, so you can use any type of downtube battery you want with any capacity you want and with any cells you want. A factory made battery will always be cheaper than a re-celled one. The type of bottle battery on the Burisch is not very waterproof. Modern...

    Help! Hi a bit advice please.

    It's looking for a number code. The default or emergency one is 3745. If that doesn't work, do all the common ones, like 1111, 1234, 0000, then use your imagination. 19** is very common, presumably somebody's birth year, so start with 1999 and work backwards. Also try 2020 and 2021. It'll...

    Interesting Electric bike (not legal)

    I follow this guy on Youtube. He did some interesting things with a cheap electric motorbike, which he got scammed on, then he ordered a $30,000 electric sports car from China and got something closer to a golf buggy. This is his latest. This bike can be restricted to 15mph, but they say it's a...

    Torque 705 collected for repair by Wisper April 2020. Where is it

    I think it's very wrong to post this sort of thing on a forum. It's fine if you tell the truth and give all the facts, but I can see that you're conveniently hiding the salient ones. I'm going to take a wild guess that the story goes something like this: Your bike became broken. Wisper offered...

    Torque sensors

    The simple answer is no. Have you set your KT to current control, which they call torque simulation?

    New battery help!

    The ignition wire makes no difference. It only powers one side of the controller. The big capacitors, which cause the spark are straight across the battery wires. You can't crimp the battery wires unless you have proper professional equipment and connectors that are designed to be crimped...

    New battery help!

    It'll make a spark when you connect it with the battery switched on. The higher the voltage, the bigger the spark. 60v makes a good one, especially if you have a nice big controller.If you're going to attemp to solder with the battery switched on, you need to use a pre-charge resistor between...

    For Sale Free to good home - Kudos Tornado electric bike. Needs battery

    It has a separate controller, so you can fit any battery you want. I wouldn't use the same type. A Shark or Dolphin type would be better.
