We all have problems of some sort. Some of us just get on with life and do our best to work with and around them, and we don't burden others with them. Have a look through the new member intros. Nearly every one starts off with explaining a medical condition, probably as an excuse for getting...

I've built several 2WD electric bikes. Obviously, you get double the power with two motors at the expense of range. Their main advantage is traction on slippery surfaces, like wet grass, mud and snow. For every other situation, a single rear motor that's powerful enough for what you need would...

Normally, the caliper gets in the way of the left hand strut, so you hsve to do a substantial DIY modification.

Parking a nice electric bike in the same spot every day while you're at work is asking for trouble. Obviously it depends somewhat on the circumstances of the location. Apart from someone interfering with your bike, there's also the problem of it getting wet.

I always turn the bike upsode down. Just find a bit of grass. Nothing will get broken or dirty as long as you're careful. Like Flecc says, don't take the tyre off. I've always managed to fix punctures by pulling the tube out one side and patch g them. Finally, getting the tyre over the rim is...

I'd recommend a bike with a rear hub-motor for commuting. They're generally more reliable, running costs are lower and they give a more relaxing ride. Some people seem to have done alright with bikes with Bosch Active line motors, but others have had to do fairly substantial repairs at around...

There was exactly what you wanted in that linked ES thread about testing 28650s yesterday. It night have been in the thread about a Woosh bike,where the guy wanted to go faster up hills. Maybe whoever linked it will link it here.

Can we see some pictures?

Did you check the hall sensor connector on the motor side? It looks like you've had some water ingress in that corner, but it's not that clear in your photo (photo 2).

When you go too slow, you're more likely to get controller problems than motor. When you overload and overheat the motor, it's normally the hall sensors that are first to go. If your motor ever starts making that fierce rasping noise, often with vibration, or if it stops, you shouldn't try to...

Speed for any motor is directly proportional to your battery voltage. What was it during that test?

This looks like the battery case. halfway down the page, it shows the connector. Normally, the connector would come with the case as a set. It might be worth asking them just to make sure. Their English will be bad, so keep it simple. I doubt that you will get the connector on its own anywhere...

It's not nearly as complicated as that. Imagine a row of buckets, each with a small hole drilled in them at the same height. You can fill all the buckets to a different height, but any that are filled to above the hole will drain down to the level of the hole, so end up with the same level. Any...

£2000? You can make your own by gluing a couple of strain gauges to your caliper adapter...

The stepthrough one is extremely comfortable, like sitting in an armchair while you watch the world go by.

A bit cheaper here...

You should be able to use any controller and battery with it. If it were just the battery, I think this is the one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Ebike-Batterie-36V-12-8Ah-Li-ion-Akku-fur-Ansmann-Kalkhoff-Raleigh-Groove-MiFa/143466239079?hash=item2167411467:g:WAUAAOSwozpe3dws but if it needs a new...

43v is a strange voltage. I guess that it's a 12S battery, so the motor gets about 20% more torque than it would with a 10S (36v) one. The motor speed isn't indicated. You'd have to have a look at one and see what code number is on it to get an idea of the speed. I think the price for the kit...

Everything is easy when you know how, and every simple task has a habit of becoming tricky. That bike looks pretty good as it comes from the factory, especially for the price. You might be happy with it as it is, though I'm pretty sure that you'll find the gearing too low. To replace the...
