    My battery range: is it normal?

    Sounds about right for 30a continuous. To get the max range even using the dodgy Bosh calcs, one needs to use lowest power setting and no hills or wind.

    Rear hub conversion. gears / freehub issues.

    One can spread an ali frame by quite a bit 20mm is doable over a few days by using blocks and wedged to spread them so 1- 2mm should be no issue for another washer.

    Gas or electric soldering irons?

    Electric iron, I use a £10 one with changeable tip sizes. No use using a flat or angled 5/6mm tip for wire connectors when a 2mm will be better. Also solder wire too thin and mostly it goes up as smoke fumes. Get one with adjustable heat temp, flux ( soldering not plumbing) can be used but if...

    If you read the Bosh/vesc thread on ES in that thread a guy successfully wired up a KT wit good results, the only issue he had was full current operation with a throttle.

    When something like that happens it is due to a short of some kind, as can be seen they aren't just burnt the contact ends have melted. I can only assume the BMS v+/v- may have been connected incorrectly or a solder joint has failed and shorted.

    Usually if a cadence sensing PAS , it willon the BB will be a one piece integrated on the LHS or two piece pas set up with magnet disc and sensor. If a TS BB then none as all is incorporated within.

    Is the firmware on "New" version BBS01b controllers configurable?

    When I tried to remove the potting it caused more damage so not worth it imho.

    Help! Hi all, just bought a 'broken' ebike. Some help needed. Falcoln Turbine.

    That if you don't mind me saying looks very much like reverse polarity connection and is why both contacts are burnt/melted. Fitting/soldering the BMS in may have been incorrect or a short causing the melting internally on the battery contacts. You need to show us the work you have carried out...

    Yep a basic tool kit like that will cover most bike stuff and you will be quids in, esp if you don't mind tinkering. Going back to your op, as with these operations they like to make money out of something sometimes for no reason. A work mate took his boys bike in to Halfrauds and they...

    What are these connectors called?

    Only if you can't solder, use the brass/copper bullets. The weak point is the insulation, heat can melt it overtime and this is where any frying will take play as they short. Use heat shrink over the wire joint and then the insuation sleeve. Copper or gold soldered connectors with decent...

    Is the firmware on "New" version BBS01b controllers configurable?

    For mosfets one tests without battery power, set the ohms setting to 20 or 200k. Test the low side apply the Black probe to Black battery feed wire on the controller and then Red in turn to the three phases, one should get three readings near exact the same should be around the 7 - 14k ohms...

    Any Woosh Gran Camino owners out there?

    KT's are 13%, 20%, 33%, 50% & 100%, even 20 or 33% I find over kill unless inclines are encountered the higher two one needs a long steep climb to really make use of them.
