    Help! Help urgently needed with Freego Hawk controller

    In principle, yes, but i wouldn't go any higher than 18A in case your battery can't supply the current. Also there are some risks for the motor at 21A, depending on how you use it.

    Carrera crosscity charger

    The good news is that you can use a £10 Ebay charger if all else fails. Before anything have a look in the socket. You should see a central pin and a spring blade going down next to it. Make sure that the blade is OK. Most likely, a fuse has gone due to inrush. Check the fuse in the plug and...

    Newbie Electrifying a Bullitt

    It's not possible to fit that motor to that bike, nor is it possible to fit a bafang crank motor. You need to find a different system. maybe a GNG system or Cyclone if not a front motor.

    Help To identify this controller

    Yes that's right. It means that those wires are for the motor. the colours will match a standard motor cable. that means that you have three connectors to figure out. It wouldn't surprise me if it's a torque sensor bike. What you should do is connect a battery (36v) and measure the voltage from...

    Another Carrra Vulcan problem

    There's a little tab where the sensor wire goes into the battery compartment. Pull that out, then you can pull on the wire to get at the connector. You'll have to remove thr sealant at the back of the connector to be able to test. With the bike switched on: Check that you have 5v between red...

    Battery question - Pendleton Somerby

    If you look from underneath, you can see the lock working. there's a round peg (approx 10mm dia) that goes into a round hole when locked.You can see it go up and down when you work the key. Obviously, when it's up (not in the hole), it's unlocked so you can remove the battery, which sometimes...

    Anti-rotation Washers

    I don't think anti-rotation eashers are going to help much - if at all. What motor did you have in there? You should tap them back to shape with a big hammer before going any further. If it's a big motor, you'd be better off with different steel forks.

    Oh I seem to have messed up!

    It's absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm on Apixaban, so if I bleed, there's no way to stop it, but it doesn't stop me from riding my well over-stretched, reset and stretched again framed ebike. Any residual stress is taken on the two braces in your frame. if the welds broke, you wouldn't...

    Oh I seem to have messed up!

    Whatever happened to tern non-electric bikes because someone cheated in the manufacturing process has nothing to do with putting motors in bikes. it doesn't add anything to your argument. Already, you've put off the guy in the above post. I hope that makes you happy that you've stopped him from...

    Help To identify this controller

    It's difficult to tell whether it's sensorless and requires a matched LCD or whether it's sensored without an LCD. Use a meter to check continuity between the red wire on the 6-way connector and the red battery wire. If you have continuity, it requires a matched LCD. If there's no continuity...

    Can you show us a picture of the connector on the end of the charger lead?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Have you not thought about getting a decent phone? What you're saying about wifi dropouts doesn't make sense. It should be using your home wifi. How can that drop out? You can make free calls anywhere in the world using any of the popular VOIP services, like What'sapp, Skype, Facebook, etc.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Look on the bright side. You can sue Paypal now as they've been forced to set up a UK reguistered office to comply with FSA rules. Before, they hid in Luxembourg or somewhere like that. Can I sue them retrospectively for the fake watch I got last year, which they asked me to send back to China...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    https://www.projectveritas.com/project-veritas-legal-victories/ Unfortunately Wiki is a lost cause now. It completely misrepresents the truth now on anybody political. I'd advise you not to use it as a source of information if you want the truth.

    Lsw controller needs lcd display

    You should have asked here first. You could have got a much better complete system for £70. It breaks my heart the number of times that people have a problem, try to fix it, which causes another problem, then they come here asking for help. The problem is that people don't know what help they...

    Hi, new prospective rider

    Woosh do some good kits and offer good support on this forum.

    Oh I seem to have messed up!

    More likely, it's bad manufacturing, not design. They probably forgot or missed the necessary post-welding heat treatment.

    Torque Sensor

    Just about the only thing you can do is take it off and clean out the slots. If one of the lugs is broken off the outside, one of the wires has probably been pulled.

    Hi, new prospective rider

    The question is who's going to fix it when it goes wrong? If you want to fix it yourself, get an ordinary Chinese electric bike. If you can't understand what a wire is, get one from a local dealer, whatever they have as long as it has a popular and well-known electrical system in it. Forget...

    Oh I seem to have messed up!

    The seat end is completely unstressed by any motor because there are braces eithe side that would take any sideways stress. The seat stay welds only deal with the up and down stresses as you go over bumps. if you never saw it, what makes you think that the stretching caused it? I've seen...
