    Help! Throttle not working on Samebike LO26 (Error Message E 08)

    The wire sequence in the pic is correct, however if you used that solder link they would short out. Each wire has to be individually soldered together and and shrink wrapped. Are the yellow w/p connectors the same brand ? Check the embossed writing on them are they both julet or is one of them a...

    Who ever soldered it that way certainly was very inept at even basic electronic knowledge.

    64 - 66v approx. is the minimum voltage one would expect to see and a max 84v final charge.

    200 dc is fine, when probing the wire one is looking to see if the -- appears in front of the voltage reading. If it doesn't then polarity is correct red probe to v+ & black probe to V-, If the -- shows up then polarity is wrong.

    my hub drive problems

    With ebike hub motors one has to learn to do his own repairs, in the UK if someone is stuck then Woosh bikes might offer a repair. Most bike shops haven't a clue how to repair an e bike and the ones who sell big brand names are worst of all as they don't know how fault find a problem, the...

    Rear hub runs, but hard to spin manual/electric

    To open it one has to remove the inner axle nut on the other side then the lid should come off. If the motor isn't turning/freewheeling very well it could be down to rust or phase wires shorted, check the cable as it enters the axle and see if the cable is split or any bare wires. The clutch...

    16g spokes

    14g are stronger for ebikes then the stiffer 12/13g , though thinner 14g have more give and flex in them and less prone to breaking.

    The small dc 5.5 x2.1 jack plug has a + & - sign so one can't screw/connect the polarity incorrectly. The pin in the middle is V+ and the inner metal sides all V-, never try to measure polarity from the battery socket as one will for sure short the meter probes. Use one of those screw jack...

    my hub drive problems

    I suspect the controller is also damaged, when the wheel span out it is likely the motor wires shorted when they broke. It is possible to re wire with a new motor wire but one will have to open the hub and do a bit of work and soldering to repair. The bike axles are for 9mm QR ones and the...

    If one buys the screw fitting DC jack then no soldering is needed.

    my hub drive problems

    Possible three issues here. 1.Drop outs are now snapped/broken. 2. No torque arms fitted, requires one on each side . 3. Drop outs also not filed deeper in the first place. Drop outs need solution 2 & 3 as the minimum.

    16g spokes

    14g is commonly used for hub motors only the aero bikes for racing use 16g. If you really want 16g over14g then sjs cycles sell them but not your length. Most 16g spokes are 14g at the nipple and threaded end.

    Two batteries, one motor

    If one knows what he/she is doing then it not a big deal, it's the dickwhat's using dodgy set ups that are courting trouble. Peronally I think a lot of the ebike scare stories are set ups to look good when they go viral. I have used lipo & lion in parallel with no issue, I do use alarms on...

    Petition to increase speed assist limit on E bikes

    No I don't need the turbo power. With more current one usually want's greater voltage to keep current as low as poss, that means more weight and money.

    Petition to increase speed assist limit on E bikes

    A small hole is drilled in to the gear side of the motor and a plug used to seal, syringe fluid in as needed. ES or the de.forum is a good place to search.
