    Hello from Littleborough Lancs

    Let us know if you need any help with your conversion. In the meantime, here's some help with English language: Forums is correct for forum as in discussion boards. Fora is the plural of forum when referring to public squares in ancient Roman cities.

    Help! Brainpower 866C-6

    There are loads of version and models of Freego, all with different controllers and wiring, and the same with Brainpower controllers. How are we supposed to guess what you've got? Did you buy the LCD to go with the controller?

    Bigstone E200 LED display loses power

    Something doesn't look right. The battery should only be 42.0v or lower when you start. Almost immediately, it would drop to 41v, then go down more slowly. After 6 miles it should be down to about 40v. Check the battery in your meter. When they're low, the readings go high. If your meter does...

    Finally took the plunge

    Ordinary Google Maps and Google Navigation that you get free in any Android phone has all the cycle routes. In the navigation, there is a bicycle symbol. Click it to show and navigate by the cycle routes, etc. I've never used anything else. You can also switch to satellite image to see what's there.

    Help! Getting home

    The type of motor makes no difference. It's the motor controller that decides whether you can have a throttle or not. Choose a controller that has a throttle connector. Most of the common controllers use a cadence sensor for pedal assist, so you only need to rotate the pedals to get power to...

    User riser bars instead. They look much better and are a safer solution, https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xriser+bars.TRS0&_nkw=riser+bars&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=100mm+riser+bars

    Lithium bike battery charging

    The mosfets are switched when they get a 12v signal on the gate leg. That 12v is switched by a transistor that gets a 5v signal on its base from the cpu or other controlling circuit. Trace the source of the 12v, which is easy when the mosfets are switched on, then cut the track and put any...

    Voilamart 250W max voltage?

    By all means if you already have lipos, chargers, cell monitors, etc , you can use them, but don't think you're going to save money using them if you have to buy them too. For a 48v system, you should use 12S so that the controller cuts-off at a sensible point. Even then, if you can, you should...

    Just bought a used Woosh Fat Boy

    There's nothing wrong in saying that you don't want somebody to fiddle with one of your bikes for whatever reasons you want, but what you're doing is unsubstantiated scaremongering. Remember, if it wasn't for guys like us, you'd still be fitting 14 amp controllers to your bikes and nobody would...

    Lithium bike battery charging

    Is the switch on the main power wire? It'll most likely burn if it is due to the inrush current into the controller's main capacitor/s. I think it's better to put a low power switch on the 12v supply to the mosfets to switch them off.

    Dawes Swift

    I'm still working on it. I lost my glasses Friday afternoon and I don't have any spares. I found them this morning in my bird seed trunk. When I'm looking at things in the range of about 3ft, I can see the same with or without them, and when I look down, they sometimes fall off. In this case...

    Viking MT Tobin controller problem

    There are three phase wires and three hall signal wires. That makes 36 combinations, of which three will give the correct forward motion and three backwards. With sealed connectors, the only way to test the combinations is to cut the motor wire and rejoin all the conductors in the different...

    Help! Lishui controller and LCD vs KT controller and LCD

    The only way to tell is by recognising the KT LCDs. Luckily, most choose the LCD3. If it has one, you have the option of current control. Some LiShui controllers have rudimentary current control, like on the Oxygen bikes. It's also on the NVM bikes, but they lock you out of it for some reason...

    Just bought a used Woosh Fat Boy

    We've been over-volting motors on this forum for ten years, can you name anybody that smoked a motor, Mr Woosh? I call hysterical horse shite. Despite what's written on motors, they don't have a voltage rating. They don't care about voltage. It's current that burns them.

    Lithium bike battery charging

    It just depends on how the battery is wired. Some are completely isolated when switched off, others only switch off the output, leaving the charge socket live. If your battery charges when switched off, that's how you should do it.

    Just bought a used Woosh Fat Boy

    48v will give more torque and speed. You have to ask Woosh whether the controller is dual voltage 36v/48v, otherwise you need a new controller and LCD.

    New to ebikes

    The transistor will be on the circuit board inside the LCD. I doubt that you'll be able to fix it unless you have specialist equipment. I doubt that any ebike shop would be able or willing to fix it. Someone is going to have to explore what's inside your frame. It might be a special controller...

    I think this is what you have. It says that the wires for the light are an optional extra if I understand it correctly. They'll be on the LCD cable (brown and blue). This also shows you all the settings P01 to P20 that includes the speed limit: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32847194310.html...

    Nice bike. If the lights stay on, its because the transistor that switches them is blown. It's quite a common problem. Assuming that the lights are normally switched on by the LCD controls, sometimes, the transistor is in the LCD and there will be two extra wires from the LCD to the lights...
