    If one uses a correct wound hub (rpm wise) one will find give it 20a and it will do a very good job at climbing.

    How bad could a (new) £90 trailer be? I've ordered a Homcom folding trailer

    How much greener can recycling get then turning up on a bike /trailer combo, it certainly adds kudos to the process on a green issue.

    KTM Elycan 27.5 with Panasonic rear motor

    The two cells need to be at the same voltage of the other cells and have similar discharge specs. If soldering and nor welding the interconnector back on keep the heat on the cell to a minimum esp on the negative end of the can. Tin the cell ends with a good blob of solder or the tab , use...

    Help! Powabyke hub motor identification

    Yep a brushed hub will work direct off a battery but one will ideally need a controller to prevent over discharge current from the battery and to fit a PAS and have some kind of control over the motor power. Yalu China sell 36v brushed controllers with a PAS option. One can buy one on...

    How can one try and compare one is a folding bike with cadence hub and the other likely a non folder with a TS drive they are chalk and cheese. If trying to compare then both bikes and systems should be as similar as possible. I tow a heavy trailer with a front wheel hub with no issues and that...

    I'm not even going to argue mid drive vs hub as there is so much nonsense aired about the two.

    KTM Elycan 27.5 with Panasonic rear motor

    The interconnector contact flow through that cell group is wholly compromised so the BMS can sense an issue, it simply won't switch to allow charging. Even if it did one would still see the bike switch off after a 100yds because the one group with two cells would sag heavily and hit lvc, you...

    My Cargo bike build.

    The original firmware isn't bad just the new OSF ones refines the use a bit better and allows one to enable some elements. For instance with the new firmware added one can add show more data on the stock screens, for me voltage is quite crucial as it motor temp, but one also can add cadence as...

    How bad could a (new) £90 trailer be? I've ordered a Homcom folding trailer

    What gap is there between the bars for the base ? 9mm birch ply with a good few coats of nice varnish each side will be plenty strong.

    A dedicated cargo bike with carrying bucket is a long bike and requires good access for it, for kids it might be ideal esp at the front to keep an eye on them. For general cargo carrying and bulky errand running a trailer allows any bike to be used without having to have bespoke type of design...

    Help planning my first conversion using Tongsheng TSDZ2

    Yes, if not fitting the throttle then there is should be no need to fit the brake options. The brake option is mainly as a motor shut off to prevent controller damage should a throttle malfunction.

    Rear hub motor or front wheel motor

    That's why geared hubs don't use regen, pointless making them with a freewheel if one has to disable/mod them for regen.
