    DIY Battery Calc

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

    With the 4 pin leds one can get away using any generic 4 pin type usually, but with 5 pin there are more comms between controller and display to confirm compatibility.

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

    Unfortunately many brands use the same generic looking display, problem is each manufacturer has different commands/protocols when it comes to the intelligent 5 wires models. Kingmeter typically are used with lishui controllers as you have on the Pendleton. 8fun are the marketing name of Bafang...

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    Because of the moped class which uses a twist & go throttle, before the law change the UK hadn't harmonised with the EU regs in law. They were only adopted officially and legally on 01.01.2016, before then we had a 12.5mph and 200w limit. To allow twist & go, a different category as has been...

    My other motor may be faulty part 2

    Carefully look at the cable where it enters the hub, wires can easily be damaged at this point or a Hall sensor has failed. Halls are very easy to check with a basic meter, esp if you have block connectors like SM ones.

    Diagnostics on bike issue

    If the lump/bump once every revolution is felt when riding, then look at the shape of the tyre circumference as you rotate the wheel. Sometimes a pronounced unevenness can be seen in one spot or one can see the tyre wall at the rim edge isn't uniform in a particular spot. If tubes are fitted it...

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    Ebike throttles can be used if one gets the bike msva tested or if one has throttle setting of pedal first to use it, it is no big deal to turns the cranks 1/4 - 1 turn to activate it if needed. The main reason is to reduce the categorising of an e push bike in to a moped/scooter class. It's...

    Revos kit purchased

    If you have centre knobbles on your tyre it will be bald within about 300 - 400 miles, I changed my WTB riddler for a Spec pro 2bliss and wear is negligable. Still loving my Revos mk1 I bought as a kick starter option. Power delivery is excellent and the ride feel is totally different to my...

    1000 watt motor from China is very stiff to rotate and doesn't Free-wheel easily

    Nothing wrong with it, as you have found out now power it is a pig to turn. Reason being is that it is a Direct Drive heavy hub with no gear reduction like a much better geared hub.

    52V downtube packs: EM3EV 35E vs Electron 21700 vs other?

    Use a standard voltage charger then, set the BT BMS to 90%/ 4.1v per cell balance. Once the 90% balance charge is reached the BMS will switch off the current and the chargers light will go from Red to Green as normal.

    Its Finished - It even works !

    Because they aren't and we will be left to pick up the pieces when you have buggered off the scene having posted misinformation. You can't mix different brand connectors and expect them to work.

    52V downtube packs: EM3EV 35E vs Electron 21700 vs other?

    It's not a charger you really need for 90%, ideally you need a BT or Uart BMS which then can have the balance correctly set to 90%. Then you know for sure the cells will be looked after correctly and can check cell balance when ever you like.

    Its Finished - It even works !

    Please stop calling these connectors mutual style otherwise you will cause issues for other diyers. Julet and Higo are compatible fit wise but that is it, the wire sequence is different between the brands so not compatible in simply swapping out components. One has to make sure if using Higo...
