    Speed Difference

    It makes no difference where you put it, it's still one pulse per rotation. If you put it too far from the sensor, you'll get an error code come up and the motor will stop.

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    there are two types of gear clusters, which the uninformed call cassettes, but in cycling speak a cassette is a gear cluster that goes on a spline (technical term Free-hub) and the cluster that screws onto a threaded boss is called a free-wheel. A six speed is likely to be a freewheel. You...

    Budget front wheel 26" conversion kit recommendations

    Front motors can't get enough grip when you're going up steep hills, especially when the surface is compromised. A rear motor always gets enough traction. A front motor always sounds noisier than a rear one. The handling and steering gets compromised when you have the motor's added mass in the...

    Fitted BBS01B to my Carrera Crossfire

    They still don't do a 48v battery in that type, assuming that you have ordered and want the 36v 7ah one, which has Samsung 35E cells in it, it'll struggle with that motor. the cells are rated at * amps each, which means 24 amps for 3P, but, as a general rule, you should have 100% headroom, which...

    Fitted BBS01B to my Carrera Crossfire

    That's a 36v battery, not 48v. Just saying. Also, why are you buying a battery from Nashville, when you can get the same one from Aliexpress at half the price? Finally, I think that battery will struggle with the current. It's only 20 cells. The lower capacity 6Ah one with high power cells...

    Budget front wheel 26" conversion kit recommendations

    You won't get a usable kit for a couple of hundred. The battery alone will cost you that much. At 19st, you need a kit that can give high torque, which means 48v and a geared motor or a crank-drive motor.

    Wisper Battery problems

    A new battery will get you another 3 1/2 years - cheaper than a new bike. The fault could be something simple like a badly soldered wire. The BMS is unlikely to be faulty. more likely, there's a problem with the cells, so it's switched itself off. You won't know without opening it and checking...

    Help! Voilamart 26” front hub looking for repair

    If the guy has already repaired the cable, then you have a chance, but everything is so vague. Can't you ask the guy what he actually did? I must admit that the routing of the phase wires doesn't look like it was done in the factory.

    Help! Voilamart 26” front hub looking for repair

    I've repaired 3 damaged cables. I won't do any more. It's quite difficult to get the wire through the axle. It should be easy to solder the wires after cutting off the damaged bit, but in practice, it's difficult to get at the phase wire joints, and after you've soldered them, it's difficult to...

    UK’s first e-scooter trial scaled back amid widespread misuse – including underage riders zipping through shopping centres

    The flag in the background on the fishing boat is upside down, which is probably where the story originated. I guess they rushed it out for the camera.
