Have you ever seen anyone selling motor cores? I'd be interested because I have about 10 motor-wheels with defective cores.

I haven't seen your bike, so it would be nice if you could confirm what type of drop-outs you have. I'm going to assume that you have the angled ones that adjust chain/belt tension. This is a problem you get on many of those bikes with angled drop-outs. It's poor design. This system has worked...

The MXUS is too fast. They don't give the Bafang's speed. They would be good kits if they had 260 or 300 rpm motors, but 440 rpm would be like driving you car in top gear all the time.

Try cleaning all the contacts under the LCD if it's the removable type. I think you would get error code 31 if it would be the torque sensor causing it.

Yes. LG 2600mAh 18650 size. The battery is 13S5P, so 13Ah and good for 25 amps continuous if the BMS allows it. https://www.pollin.de/p/liion-akku-lg-ebm261865-3-6-v-2600-mah-271950

I have a 328rpm 48v Q128c motor from BMSbattery. I use 14 amp 48v KT sine wave controller from PSWpower, so not a lot of power for high speed, but on the flat, I can travel along at about 20 - 22 mph without pedalling too hard if I released the 15 mph speed limit. Assistance carries on to about...

I would guess about £100-£150 plus postage. Please let us know how you get on.

That makes sense now. For QR wheels, it's easier to take the wheel off, which is your frame of reference, the same as many people that had non-motorised bikes before going electric. All my comments above are in relation to motor wheels that are bolted on and joined by wires.

Many thanks. I've been meaning to sign up for a while. That just gave me the incentive to do it - not that I need the lights, but it always feels great to get something for nothing. BTW, the accident doesn't have to be your fault. If the other guy has insurance and you don't, you'll most likely...

I understood that and you're right on that point. The point I was making is that punctures are no problem. You don't need the expense of new tubes and the work of dismantling your wheel from the bike. Patching is cheap, fast, dead simple and totally reliable. I'm surprised by how few forum...

You just pull the tyre off one side, drag the tube out, patch it and put it back - about 10 minutes work. Why would you want to take the wheel off?

Why don't you ask them to sell you a motor wheel that you can fit yourself? It's a big job to fix your motor. It would take at least 2 hours to thread the wire through and resolder it. I can tell you that it's a very tricky job. The hall sensors are likely to be blown too, which wouldd take...

I'm not sure what Woosh have in the way of kits for heavier riders. Maybe give them a call. Topbikekit have the Bafang BPM: http://www.topbikekit.com/8fun-bafang-bpm2-48v500w-rear-motor-hub-motor-36holes-with-2026inch700cc-wheel-rim-p-880.html This controller plus the LCD3 would work well with...

Juicy are one of the longest established ebike brands. They're a small family business run by the nicest of people. You won't get any trouble from them. Their range of bikes has expanded recently, so a much better choice. The Ticket is a light-weight stealth solution. It has a fair amount of...

Most likely, your motor wires have melted at the first connector on the forks. If it's not that, you've blown a mosfet or two in your controller. That might have happened anyway as consequential damage. Check that connector first and sort it before worrying about anything else.

Giant Boulder alux 6000 would be an easy bike to convert whatever way you go. A normal geared hub motor (36v or 48v) run at 48v will give you a powerful and reliable solution. At 18 stone, I'd go for one of the bigger ones, like the Bafang CST for cassette gears. Has your bike got freewheel...

You'll have to think about the battery installation. The Hailong batteries have the fixings at the top end and your bike has them low down on the frame, so you'll probably have to install 2 additional rivnuts, then you need to dismantle the cover from the controller and figure out where/how you...

That would mean that you need three new hall sensors, plus you need to pull the wire through the axle past the broken bit, cut it and unsolder what's attached to the hall sensors and windings, then solder on the new wires. There's also a small chance that you've blown some mosfets in the...

How did the red wire break? The only logical situation that fits your description is that the ground wire is broken too unless the red wire shorted on a phase wire. We need more details of what happened.

You need to turn the wheel backwards while you test if it's a geared motor
