    Help! How do I remove rear wheel gears

    The gears are fixed to the side-plate, so you don't have to remove them if you can get at the screws. You have to remove all nuts on the axle first, and on some motors there's a difficult to get at nut inside the gear cluster.

    TSDZ2 speed restrictions

    12/42 will give 16 mph at 60 rpm with a 26" wheel. Your motor would max out at about 80 rpm on the road, which would be about 21 mph. You need to check that top gear. Maybe it's 13T, in which case a normal 11/32 cassette will solve all your problems.

    TSDZ2 speed restrictions

    Unfortunately with a crank motor, you're not master of your own destiny regarding cadence. I think your motor is 90 rpm max, so you need to pedal at about 70 rpm for best power and efficiency. 60 rpm should still be OK, which is fairly leisurely. I wouldn't want to go any lower than 50 rpm...

    Help! Battery to controller connection issues

    Firstly, do not connect anything if you don't know what each wire does. These things are relatively simple when you know about them. We have all the answers here. You only have to ask. The wiring looks pretty standard to me. Start by connecting just the motor, control panel, battery and...

    Oxygen E-Mate Drive Train Failure

    Just one more time because I'm not sure I have the story straight. When the motor cuts out, does the LED control panel go off and needs to be switched on again to get going again or does it remain firmly on?

    52T sounds a bit high to me. What do you have as a top gear at the back?

    Help with LCD SW900

    Controllers have to match the LCD with their software, not just connections. They have to have the right protocols (language) and the right instructions. It can be like you asking me what to do next and I reply, "go afore and unclip the bob-stay from the dolphin striker". It might sound like...

    Izip mountain trials power problems

    If you have no voltage on the bottom of the battery, the problem is in the battery. Either the fuse has blown or you connected them up wrongly.

    Izip mountain trials power problems

    Thanks for trying not to intimidate me, but I do have a strong constitution and I'm quite old, so definitely not Gen Z. Guys like me are not scared of full-stops, so it's OK to use them:. I heard that maths is now racist, so I try not to use it so much in other threads, but sometimes it's...

    Help with LCD SW900

    That's a 6-pin too and the wrong sequence for the LCD!

    Help with LCD SW900

    You can't plug in the LCD because it has a 5-pin connector, while as the controller has a 6-pin That's just as well because if you had connected them, you would have wiped out both, as the wires are in the wrong sequence. You can see that on one, the blue (switched battery voltage) is next to...

    TSDZ2 speed restrictions

    You don't say which motor you bought. I assumed a hub-motor. If you bought the crank-motor that you planned to, the motor still has a maximum speed (crank-rotation speed), but you can change the bike's speed by altering the gearing;however, bear in mind the cost in efficiency and heat. The TSDZ2...

    Inner tube

    They make sense if you want to use a particular type of tyre for the riding you do. For normal commuting on the road, I can't see an argument for paying £30 for a tyre plus £30 for an insert when you can get all the protection you need from a Marathon Plus for about £30.

    TSDZ2 speed restrictions

    That's normal if you have a 201 rpm motor. All motors have a maximum speed depending on their windings and the battery voltage. No matter how much power you give them, you can't make them go any faster. If you had bought a faster motor, it's efficiency when climbing and/or towing would be worse...

    Delimiting / tuning

    Of course you'll slow down. You have three forces pushing you down the hill. There's the effect of gravity on your mass (weight), your pedal force and the force the motor applies. When the motor cuts, you only have the two forces, which are less, so you slow down. That's the same whether you go...

    What determines and assists hill climbing capacity?

    Your opinion is coming from a frame of reference at the extreme end of rider experience. At 19 stone, you have to pedal 40% harder than an 80kg rider on the same bike when on any upward incline. 80 kg riders rately find ebike motors' power (actually torque) to be inadequate.

    Oxygen E-Mate Drive Train Failure

    It has all the symptoms of a duff battery or duff battery connection.. All the other faults would self reset, so you wouldn't need to switch it off and on again. Are you sure you didn't have your meter on "hold" when you did the previous measurements.any fault that requires switching off and on...

    Both my e-bikes stolen

    Yes, I'm not accusing her, but somebody must have known they were there. You need to ask her who knew that the bikes were there. A random burglar would most likely be on their own, so would never take two bikes. It's possible to wheel one while riding the other, but that would be really...

    What determines and assists hill climbing capacity?

    While we wait for an answer from Woosh about how their controller works, whichever system the controller uses, you'll get maximum power up the hill when you set it to maximum - if that answers your question. There are no serious hills on the Essex/London border, so I'm pretty sure that any...

    Brain power controller

    The only other thing i can think of is that some pedal sensors are handed, so they only work on one side of the bike. Try flipping the magnet disc, then try pedalling backwards and forwards to see if either works.
