    Using LSW70A6G without the display

    Let's take a step back. There are two types of controller and control panel combinations. the one I have been describing is analogue. The signal is carried only in the green wire by the voltages I described. The other type is digital and uses two wires to transmit data (Tx and Rx). 4 wire...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hmmm! Let's try and make sense of this: The most popular president elect in history puts his Thanksgiving speech on Youtube on his own channel. With all his popularity hype and expectation, he gets 70,000 views in roughly 24 hours. Where are his other 79,930,000 supporters plus everybody else...

    Using LSW70A6G without the display

    You need to add a resistor in series with it, otherwise when you turn the potentiometer down, it'll be a dead short across the 5v. Maybe a 1K resistor and a 5k pot should do it, or 2K and 10K pot.

    Kalkhoff Tasman impulse 2.0

    That all sounds a bit weird. Can you explain what that was all about? I never had to do anything like that to disassemble an impulse motor. Are you talking about removing the crank arms from the square taper shaft.? If so, the proper tool is a crank extractor that you can buy for about £3. You...

    Using LSW70A6G without the display

    That's the voltage on the green wire of the LED control panel. You measure it between green and any ground (black).

    Newbie seeks advice: hilly area, need decent freewheel over 15mph

    The Bosch Gen 2 CX motor (small chainwheel) is the only Bosch motor that has widespread reports/complaints about drag over 15 mph. That's why the changed the latest one to a large chainwheel. The problem is the friction in the extra shaft and reduction system they need because the concentric...

    Battery 60-80%

    Balancing only happens at the top of the charge cycle (100%). It works on the basis of a little and often, so an occasional 100% charge is not enough to keep your battery balanced. The problem is that you'd never know how much balancing is needed. Some don't need much and others need a lot...

    Kt display help

    It should be compatible. LCD3 is the best because it gives access to all the settings. The LCD5 is limited. LCD4 also gives all settings.

    36v Controller

    All these type of batteries are compatible with each other and with all standard Chinese controllers. They just have two wires. Obviously, you have to find a way to install and connect them. Always confirm the polarity with a meter before connecting a different battery.

    Newbie seeks advice: hilly area, need decent freewheel over 15mph

    All crank-drive bikes free-wheel the same as a non-electric bike as everything from the chain backwards is the same. The resistance you get is when you pedal, which is low on most, but higher and noticeable on the CX motors with the small chainwheel.

    Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres completely confused!!

    Puncture resistance and weight have an inverse relationship. The more of one, the less of the other. According to the rolling resistance tests 26 x 1.75 gives the best combination of all characteristics. 26 x 1.95 gives the best puncture protection and comfort, with slight penalties on weight...

    Going faster

    It's probably controlled by software. I've never seen what controller they used. You'd need to pull it all out and show us to see if there are any clues to derestricting by other methods.

    Lack of power on FreeGo Martin City

    The next question is about what happens to the voltage when you ride the bike. You have an LCD with a battery indicator. With the battery at 41.5v, it should show full. When you start to ride, what happens on the battery charge indicator, especially when you use high power? 41.5v is not bad...

    36v Controller

    The downtube is the tube that runs fro the front of the bike to the pedals, do you mean the seat tube? The Cyclamatics that had downtube batteries were 36v, not 24v.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The catch is the adapter, which he has designed and made himself. You'd ave to make something similar or ask him if he can rint one for you.

    Fiido d4s, Replacing the battery?

    What he's done is unscrew the front plate on the battery from the frame, then made an adapter that holds the battery in the right position so that it doesn't need to be screwed.

    Coincidence or not? According to the CIA’s own information operations centre “Kraken is a Department of Defense cyber warfare program that tracks and hacks other systems to acquire evidence of nefarious actions of other nations and enemies.”
