42km/h is 26mph. Voltage will cut off will depend on the BMS specs min will be 40v or nearly 3.1v per cell, 42v is the lowest I go. The KM is might be just a trip computer. So how many miles did you do ?

By the sounds of the mainly flat route any bike will be capable.

A whopping 4lbs in weight and a £250 price tag.

A part from folding bikes nearly all std bike frames have 10cm/100mm front fork drop out width.

If it is the lock that has sheared then it should be replaceable some spanner work may be needed. As the lock is in the front controller housing one can access it better by removing the battery first.

The BBS likes to be spun up so low gearing is better. One can try the 48v tongsheng tsdz2 or go for bust BBSHD. A 36v 250w hub might be a tall order for 20st and 16%, how long is the 16%. For such a hill if a hub is used 48v at 201rpm will be the specs to look for at 25 or 30a.

Good luck trying to change parameters on a BBS whilst riding.

The BBSHD though is a beast and 4x the power of the bbs01, both my controllers failed first one was 1600miles.

Yes sjpt, please post them as they may help others. Imho conclusions from a magazine and the writers views are just that, conclusions. Whether long tail of front loading cargo all depends on the use it is intended for. I settled on the Ute mainly for it ability to load a good rear load and the...

I have several bikes.

Brighton ebikes for the BBS01 25a etm.

For the battery I will likely make up a 48v bottle battery in 3P config as the range I will need isn't that important. From my 12s bottle battery used on the now defunct Norco, I get 25 - 30 miles from the 6ah battery with pucker 20a LG HG2 cells, I may even use this for the Ute. For the 48V...

The cargo bikes tend to have a 48 spoke count rim so not suitable for a hub motor, I haven't actually yet checked the Ute. But my initial though was tsdz 48v mid drive over the BBS, I have a BBS with no controller and haven't been all that impressed by it. I bought the bike via ebay last week...

Over the past 6 months I have been looking for a better load lugging bike that has much more cargo appeal then the usual bike. Just a few bikes I have been looking at. Kona Ute no more in production it appears though I did manage to buy an immaculate 2020 example this week via ebay, a rearward...

Fully charged on the green light , that's good news and all good to go now. The voltage equates to 4.176v per cell. Some BMS cut off a bit before 4.2v, if not over the next few charges the cells might balance out a little more or your meter might be out a little. Which ever it is, it doesn't...

Unfortunately the sad state of affairs we are in today, lack of policing on the ground and most will be in scotland for the cop show.

House lighting uses 1.5mm twin & earth coper core flex. 16 or 18 awg should do the job.

No don't leave it on overnight. 48.5v was 3.73v per cell. 51.1 is 3.93v per cell so rising nicely. 54v is a tad over 4.15v so should be pretty well in balance, the final balance to full at 54.6 could take an hour. Don't forget this is a large 30ah capacity or a 1440wh nominal battery, at...

Just had a peek over at ES and the 4800mah Lishen LR2170SD a 10a cell is looking quite good and cheap to buy. After 500 cycles at the full 10a discharge the cell loses approx. 20% capacity down to 3.3v. At a full 10a the 4800mah cell gives 3000mah which is better then the Sam 48G and the...
