    Noisy hub ?

    Were the hubs outer gearing and the nylon gears lubricated at all ? If not a good healthy dollop or synthetic grease might be the answer, it mustn't be petroleum based otherwise the nylon gears will be damaged.

    Somersby Pendleton Tyres

    Why not ? If the ride is good and comfy doesn't have to be a mtb. Why do most people ride them (mtb's on roads)? My Boardman CX bike has wide swept bars (40 degs) and is super comfy for off road, I also buck the trend as it is a hub motor as well and no way stops me off roading on the roughest...

    Woosh Woosh Big Bear LS - too much assistance!

    Big Bear uses the Bafang Bpm it is an excellant powerful hub motor, that is where it's strength lies power. It would be shame to tame one with a lesser controller (current wise).

    Battery key issue

    Probably a dodgy key switch or a solder contact on said key switch, if you are bale to open the case and access the switch try resoldering the wires or simply apply heat to the solder contacts puddling the joints and then letting them set again (could be a dry or bad joint).

    Yose 36v 350w running at 48v on a KT controller

    54.8v might be just calibration error of the meter, it shouldn't be an issue. But just in case drain the battery by 0.5v and see if everything works ok.

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    I am 99.9% that as you have a KM790, your controller will be Lishui. It does though need 100% confirming, I assume the controller is located in the compartment of the rack battery ? Also as vfr has said, if the 790 is scrap then open it up and take pics of the wires attached to the pcb to see...

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    It's no different to the automotive world of car manufacturer's, no one wants compatibility software/programming wise with a competitor. With ebikes the only thing we know that is mostly standard is the hub Julet wire connector so any hub can be used with any branded component. It's no different...

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    Generically the one system that is 99.9% bullet proof is/are KT uart systems, many many sellers supply the items and apart from making sure the correct connectors are fitted, any KT listed item will work. One can buy any KT display of at least 11 different models and they will work with any KT...

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    The main issue is compatibility with your existing controller. Obviously the 790 is made by company A and it is then made available to many 3rd party sellers. Each variant will have pcb which is programmed and installed at a central factory for the customer or the customer might buy the 790's...

    e scooters - a menace?

    Legalities are they are illegal to use in public unless a hired trial one. In the news a lad was killed using one recently though a hit and run driver was being sought for the accident, but doesn't excuse the fact that an illegal e-scooter was used. Injuries are being reported a little girl...

    Das-kit Rear hub Motor Lateral Play

    Does the hub axle actual have play in it , I doubt it as they are pretty rigid. Most hubs tend to be serviceable, the bearings are sealed and are generic with the type number written on the casing. If bearings are worn one can hear them when riding. The wobble could be the nut being loose is the...

    Kt P5 setting

    P5 if using the setting 5 -15 is a rough guide to your battery usage, you will have to experiment with the setting figures so that it might represent your battery usage via the bars shown. It might be of use on lcd's that don't have a voltage read out like the lcd1 or 2 model otherwise those...

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    The 790 will need to be a lishui compatible model so a KM one, as I mentioned before 790's are available for 8FUN/Bafang , KT and other controller makes so it has to be a KM model to be compatibly programmed.

    One can do a lot of damage before the BMS stage if t]parallel/series connections errors are made. A 25ah pack will be quite heavy at about 6 - 6.5kg.

    Nor does it by the looks have the 6km/h option either as is pretty much standard as well now. An old Mk1 version.
