    Purely Hypothetical

    Not really. I used a 48v 22 amp GNG motor in the middle with an extra chainwheel bolted to the original one to raise the gearing, a large Xofo geared cassette motor in the back running at 64v and 30 amps, and a Bafang BPM in the front running at 64v and 30 amps. They all shared the same...

    Pswpower

    I've ordered from them loads of times. delivery is normally 2 weeks. It's not worth paying for express delivery because the actual shipping time is quite quick. Most of the two weeks is spent preparing the order. Preparation time depends on what you order. You should get a tracking number when...

    KZQ-36VL Controller

    No, that won't work with a self-learning one. I guess you didn't do the self-learning procedure. Join the self-learning wires switch on and wait for the wheel to start turning. Switch off while it's turning, then disconnect the wires and don't re-connect them. After that, you have to sort out...

    Gear changing?

    It's better with the gear sensor if you have any mechanical sympathy. Better doesn't mean essential.

    The controller sits in that compartment in the front of the battery receiver. You have to unscrew something to uncover it, them pull it out if you can. We need photos. The battery must be about 7 years old. How healthy it is depends on how much it was used and how it was looked after. We need...

    KZQ-36VL Controller

    I don't think so. You most likely have the wrong motor connection sequence. They don't always go colour to colour. Which controller did you get? Don't try and give power for any length of time until the motor turns properly.

    Cyclotricity, help fault finding

    Mosfets are the lowest resistance I've seen, but are probably right. Check that the motor connector is in all the way to the marked line. If it is, a logical explanation would be cable damage. The solution should be logical if you can open the controller and get at the connections. You only...

    Broken thumb throttle

    Any three wire one should work, but you have to connect the wires in the right sequence, not just plug in the connector. Show us what you've done.

    Long distance commute bike

    I went for a test ride on a Honda motorbike, and I couldn't believe how seriously they took all the sanitising procedures. A test ride up and down the road or round the car park won't prove anything other than whether the size fits you.

    TongSheng TSDZ2 making a weird noise after 10 minutes use

    Your display still thinks you have a 48v battery, so it'll cut out when you get to whatever is the 48v cut-off and you won't be able to go far. You have to reset it.

    Purely Hypothetical

    That was on my 5 1/2 KW triple motor drag bike on a road that had been completely chalked over, then it drizzled. Not quite the same thing. For slippery conditions, two low power motors work better than one high power. I made a double throttle by gluing in a second hall sensor. Because of the...

    Little teapot (short and stout) looking for her first eBike

    A front wheel motor isn't a deal-breaker, especially on stepthrough bikes. I would recommend the Woosh Big Bear LS too. I think it will be perfect as long as it's not too big. You should be OK at 5ft 3". Ask them to make the throttle full-range, because it helps heavy people to balance when they...

    Puncture on rear wheel on electric bikes!

    OK for tubeless tyres, but doesn't seem to work for tubed ones, and, like Flecc Says, it rubs salt into your wounds when you see what a mess it makes. Maybe it works sometimes because, of course, you only know when it doesn't work. The best thing by far is Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres if you...

    Help! Advice on Ebike for chronically ill human

    Yes, but you can keep your feet on the pedals. If they need straps to hold their feet on the pedals, how are they going to get them in and out of the straps?

    Help! Failed kalkhoff

    That's a standard Chines 9 pin connector. You can use any Chinese controller and battery. It's only a question of how much you want to spend. £70 gets you a nice control system. £40 gets an adequate one. You need to show photos of the controller connections before I can pass final judgement.
