    Battery Mounts and Cases

    Once opened they do look a bit daunting but all you are doing is a 95% simple swap over the only work to do as I mentioned is extending the discharge wire length (if you are lucky they might have enough on them to reach) and the maybe four other small solder joints. Again at some time pics of...

    Battery Mounts and Cases

    The mount for the bike actually gives the case for it more room inside so swapping over the battery pack/bms should be easy. The discharge pins are different 5 vs 4 on the one you don't want so one will have to cut and solder the discharge wires one at a time to the new case ( one likely will...

    New to E bikes

    Most bikes are limited for cargo using traditional bikes styles and a couple of panniers, ok if you only want two bags of shopping. Ideally a fold up trailer with box or better still if one has room a long tail cargo bike that can carry two massive over size panniers and a long top deck for a...

    Is it worth keeping a dead BBS01b controller for spare parts?

    Not really unless an electronics whizz at deconstruction.

    Wheel wont spin when turning the throttle on a voilamart hub.

    The controller has likely shorted and mosfets have failed, one will need a metre to carryout some basic wire testing to confirm.

    Backpack power

    Back pack batteries are a non starter and a bad idea from the off.

    The fires and incidents you watch are rare but do occur, one has to put into perspective these events and then consider what actually occurred and why. One has no knowing of the battery history and care, any voltage or whether it has been in a crash or damaged. Inappropriate battery current...

    RE: Bosch Active-Line motors - a cautionary tale:

    Mostly owners among the general public who are fair weather weekenders won't have many issues as they will use the bike seldom or not often (more so now the weather is changing). Regular users will also probably see little in the way of issues but not everyone will be trouble free the 2 year...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha (7 Month 1600 Miles)

    I parallel with no issues at all, scare mongering is one thing but Chris & GH know there stuff so one is trying to teach exp e-bikers how to suck eggs. I first started using multiple lipos in P and S for my first bikes then graduated to paralleling hard case batts, now I make and parallel soft...

    Help! Haibike sduro hard 7

    Built properly a hub motor is capable of off road riding, use good spokes and a good rim one should have no issue. I know this is true as I build all my wheels and use a hub for off road on forest tracks and extensively on long160km rides, I take in the rough N.Downs way and riding on the...

    Back wheel or a new used bike .

    Alfine 8 yes very good as long as it is set up correctly, I had my one on a mtb using double rings up front I well below the recommended 2:1 recommended gearing for it using a 32t small ring.

    Back wheel or a new used bike .

    Built properly they should be trouble free esp with no motor. I use ryde z2000 from bankrupt bike parts about £20 a pair in a nice fetching blue, for spokes I buy from ryanswheels/ryan spokes or you could get ryan to build your wheel. I use 14g sapim strong on all my wheels. In this link are...

    Help! SR Suntour Resurrection Project - 'P' and 'C' values?

    C1/06 is a double hall type like the all in one V12L. C8 makes no difference what ever value you choose as motors don't have a heat sensor, the lcd 3 will display amb air temp as might some of the others. Other wise the settings are pretty std and much the same as I use except P1 as this...

    New Controller

    It is much like the rest of the 3 speed controllers, though there are no settings to alter or paly with so should need little setting up barring the learning process and wiring in throttle and PAS correctly. You will probably need to use one brake sensor as the cheaper controllers can have over...
