Not correct. You don't have to change your gears with a hubmotor as long as you get the right sort of motor - cassette motor for free-hub gears and freewheel motor for freewheel gears. With a crank motor, you nearly always need to do something with your chainwheels, i.e. lose them if 2 or 3 or...

It's weird how it's always the same ones in these threads. My advice is to forget all those and buy an established brand. If you can't fix things like that yourself, you have to buy from a local shop, otherwise you can buy Chinese bikes mail order, but not bikes with Bosch, Shimano, Yamaha...

It's a good basic Chinese bike. At only 64kg, you won't find it short of power. It has all standard parts, so maintaining and repairing it is easy if you do it yourself. If, however, you haven't a clue how to fix things, it's going to become a garden trellis some time in the future sooner or...

Red (5v) white (signal)and blue (ground) are the throttle. If they've used conventional colouring, green is battery voltage for the display, yellow and brown are the switch, which you can use for anything. White is for some other function, like speed if it displays speed. you'd have to show the...

The thick red battery wire is not actually part of the controller. It goes directly to the motor, but is blocked by the mosfets in the controller. All the controller does is open and close the mosfets like gates to let the power through to the motor. The controller itself takes its power from...

I think you got that the wrong way round. You can keep your gears with a rear hub-motor, but you lose them with a crank-motor. You need to measure the diameter if the BB shell in the wider middle bit. It looks too wide for a normal crank motor like a BBS**. The maximum you can have is about...

We can all relax now. they've found the root cause of covid-19 at last. All you have to do is denounce your white privelige and it's over, so we will all be back to normal soon: https://www.itv.com/news/2021-01-15/covid-racism-root-cause-and-major-driver-in-increased-mortality-rates

The only complication to fitting these motors is when you have a press-fit BB. The screw in type, whether external or internal are removed and don't play any part in the installation. Normal shells (not PF or fatbike) are 68mm or 73mm. If you have 73mm, you leave off the locking ring and fix the...

You'll save a lot of time by cutting off the connectors and soldering the wires, but if you want to swap the pins, do it on the male connector. Use a sharp point to depress the barb. Push the wire in a bit first, while pushing on the wire, press down on the barb, then pull on the wire to get the...

Normally yes. When you do it, make sure that they don't touch each other, or you can wear dark sunglasses while you do it.

Post all your settings here.

Why are you concerned about the BB? All decent bikes have BBs like that. Nobody else complains.

That's right, but he's able to measure 28v on the charge port, so the charging mosfet must be switched on.

It could be that the battery is charging the charger. The only thing I can suggest is to try a different charger.

Will there be any revellations from the declassification of the Obamagate documents?

With 28v on the charge socket, you should be able to charge it. It means that there is a connection to the cell-pack and the BMS has the charge port switched on and your cells are probsbly OK. If it were switched off, you'd see something like 18v or lower. Have you got any other charger that...

Are you any good at cooking and cleaning?

Try a factory reset - P10=y. If that doesn't work, there's probably something wrong with the LCD, so sort it out with the supplier. Also, there are various settings that determine how and when the throttle and PAS work. If you don't understand your settings, post them all here, so we can see if...

No need to feel guilty Neal. That was spam!
