    hub

    You answered your own question, rear no odo reading (and doesn't work ) but front has odo reading and works. It needs an odo reading , one assumes the hub has an internal speed sensor as it is 9 pin. Without the odo reading some control systems shut down. Also are you 100% that the motor...

    Where would you recommend buying e-conversion kits from?

    Best UK price though should give easier CS should a fault occur and having to send an item back.

    Fitting torque arm behind cable head

    Did you file the drop outs 2.5 - 3mm deeper so that all the flat edge of the 14mm axle depth actually sits in further, if not then you are inviting problems even with TA's. Most people think it is easy and don't take in to account that 9mm drop outs aren't suitable for a12 or 14mm deep axle...

    Best legal conversion kit by far!Expensive

    Err :confused:, the motor specs state 500w rated power for both motors so not legal.

    Halfords Assist Upgrade

    One suspects the current hub (front ? ) will be approx. 260rpm for 20" wheel. At 36v it will run at about 390 rpm so quite fast and inefficient for a smaller wheel but as mentioned some of the deficiency can be offset by using a bit more current at 36v then that used at 24v. A lot will depend...

    Halfords Assist Upgrade

    It's highly likely the controller will smoke, so yes you will have to change to a different controller kit. For 80- 100 quid a KT system giver you nice current control with 5 power level of current and not speed, so you can actually determine how much power to use. The motor will be fine...

    Review Pinnacle Mercury 2021

    Range is down to many factors and how the bike is used. 1. Always charge the battery fully to prevent issues, you don't have to do it straight after a ride though it depends how depleted the battery is. I usually charge if depleted at least to about 50% charge and then fully charge up to about...

    Carrera hub bikes and Halfords in general, just aren't worth the hassle and disappointment.

    Tandem Conversion: 1st questions

    The BPM is a marked as such as 350w, so the DGW22 may be a better bet. I think Stodd was another who converted a tandy.

    Fitting torque arm to rear of carbon frame, can this work?

    In that case definitely not, a sure recipe for disaster. A no no; 1. In terms of your safety. 2. You will ruin a perfectly good bike. 3. You really need to have the hubs axle sitting deeper as they are min 12mm and 9mm of a QR, so back to #2.

    Tandem Conversion: 1st questions

    There are two members who have added a Woosh kit to their tandems, can't think who they are off hand. However using the search part of the forum may bring up details.

    Fitting torque arm to rear of carbon frame, can this work?

    Even if you do risk fitting the hub to the drop out there are two aspects to look at ; 1. Any hub axle will require the drop depth to bb modified as you will want all of the flat area of the axle to sit firmly in the drop out. For a 12 x 10 axle approx. 1.5 - 2mm will need to be taken out of...

    BBS2 programming

    You can set the parameters as two sets/two modes of use, use 1 - 5 for low torque high speed for range in flatish terrain and then set 6 -9 for high torque and low speed for proper of road stuff and hilly stuff.

    Exactly what I though last night when I had quiet chuckle to my self, was going to post near the exact same reply but thought otherwise.

    cordless drill battery

    Yep, I wonder how many bikes would end up as ornaments without the free advice given, Mostly the knowledge gained by all is used to empower others to have a go at repairs then in time to pass that info on to others so perpetuating the circle of knowledge.

God knows how much money and success...

    Motor Still Spinning while on idle (PAS 0)

    Gear cluster pawls not releasing properly so not allowing gear cluster to freewheel properly or an issue at the chain wheel end. BB bearing and chain wheel also needs to be freewheeling. Remove the chain and the motor won't turn so then you have to look at the drive chain to see where the...

    Review Oxygen SCross MTB MK II Ongoing Review

    If the hub and battery on the old emate are good then a system upgrade will be about £100 for a nice KT kit.
