Alliston wasn't even on an ebike, he simply didn't have a front brake on his fixie meaning the bike even though a pedal only bike was still illegal. That didn't go unnoticed and added to the lack of not being able to stop or brake in time.

If you did what I said in #4 and the motor wheel turns by hand quite fast then one can usually rule out a phase wire issue. One can try testing for a duff mosfet with voltage meter with the dial set to 20 ohms but depends on the type of controller connector used.

One would think the Daily Hate cyclist's paper ake the Daily Fail may be one such paper. They have a track record for demonising cyclists with their hatred.

A discount on a new one is not a bad offer but guess it depends on how much they propose, 10/15% wouldn't be so great but 20/25% is a start. For the bottle type if opting for the same one, one should ask them if the design has be changed to prevent the cell rubbing and possible shorting and...

For 48v your controller would need to be dual voltage model, if not one would have to change it. upping the voltage will increase the motor rpm and torque by 33%, on flatish terrain it will be good but on steep hills the motor may feel a bit lacking despite the torque increase as the motor rpm...

The AA found less the 30% of respondents questioned new of the updates to come.

Near me there are some cyclist boxes at traffic light controlled junctions, often a car will be parked with in this zone so any cyclist cannot enter it or safely exit said junction as his/her way is blocked. They are there to give cyclists priority without being intimidated. This is a traffic...

Sadly the due care and attention is the bit many drivers fail to comprehend and I can foresee accident rates that may rise, speed at and approaching junctions the main culprit reducing ability to react in a safe manner. The rules are good for vulnerable users but educating motorists will be the...

As the bike wasn't being ridden when the error showed up, then we can assume it is a phase shorting issue.

Current is dealt with the controller and is often a short circuit so either Mosfet issue or a phase circuit issue, again the latter is a short of the circuit. Having washed the bike has water ingressed in to the controller or the motor phase cable connector. A manual check can be carried out by...

I think PAS1 should always be a very low power option with cadence type speed controllers, it takes quite a few users by surprise as they don't like the initial surging and can be off putting. Esp for leisure riders who are in a group or amble along. 2 - 3a of current is plenty of current for...

My Alfine 8 has given me no issues and the changing of gears when stopped is nice when one forgets or has to come to an emergency stop. One can't compare the Shimano vs Kindernay or Rolhof as the latter pair are in a different league in quality and pricing. One can buy 4 or 5 Alfines for the...

Ab current usually means over current and a controller issue, likely the controller has got to hot and has thermally cut. Usually once cooled will work again. Under what circumstances did the error occur ?

Nothing unless an issue is found. The checks will be in the main a general mechanical look over, brakes, steering, gears etc ,etc and maybe the wheels for true/rotation.

The settings of Eco, Normal and usually may one or two others are power modes, Eco is the economical mode which will give most range. Range will be fairly low due to the fat tyres so one will have to experiment with rides to see how far one will get. Start off with 10 mile ride out and ten back...

The battery at 41v is either a nearly fully charged 36v nominal one or a nearly empty 48v nominal one. As you mentioned it's been charged which means a full charge is 41.5 -42v, the usable charge is down to approx. 32v. The lower value will depend on the battery spec's. It may take or three...

One can try to see if the bike feels better and if the surging less noticeable. I use KT current control the difference is night and day compared to Lishui. The KT has five current power settings in the std firmware of 13, 20, 33 50 & 100% of the max current, one can use 20,22 & 25a controllers...

Regarding batteries your side of the world, Luna Cycles in Ca and many buyers use EM3EV who are in HK. Both have a good following.

It is common to here of BMS not being used in the States, I'm afraid a lot of that comes from/via the ES forum over their where some nasty fires have occurred and sorry to say the bullish talk often seen on that forum.

Fogstar have had some new genuine stock deliveries lately from the likes of Molicel, Samsung, Vapcell, BAK, Eve, Sinowatt & Sanyo. However if one wants to build a battery the FS retail is the wrong place to buy, if one spend over £75 on cells (which isn't hard) then one should buy from FS...
