    Broken throttle

    Black goes to black, red probably goes to purple and white probably to grey. No harm will be done if you get it wrong. It just won't work, so try it one way, and if it doesn't work, try it the other way. In fact if you get it the wrong way, it will give instant full throttle so make sure the...

    Being given the runaround by a bike shop

    What the shop is saying sounds right to me, though they probably knew that some time ago, like when they tried to order the bike. If they're new to the game, it's possible that they're as naive as you. I have close association with the trade, so I know how it works. You have to order well in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Don't say anything against Ebay. This story is incredible - well worth watching for the details of what they did:

    Power cut outs.

    That's very worrying because they could be right. There's a really nice lightweight system from Keyde that I tried several years ago. That was the same. Every time I went up a hill, the temperature sensor cut power to the motor, which sort of defeated the idea of having an electric bike to help...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Paul Joseph Watson just posted this on Parler: "The mass migration to Parler will hopefully result in conservatives becoming more organized without the threat of Twitter hate mobs and doxxing hanging over them. This will result in more successful real world activism, leaving leftists to bicker...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think, like me, Woosh can see the irony in what you just wrote! It sort of proves my point.

    Bicycle Alarm system?

    Get a battery with a USB charge outlet. Charge while you're on the bike. Simples!

    Bafang upgrade?

    You're not getting it. The power is supplied by the battery and regulated by the controller. The motor is just a transducer. It can't change the amount of power you get. It only needs to be able to deal with the power given by the controller. If you want more power, you need to change the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What you actually post doesn't seem to fit with that idea. What I see is that you tend to deride or shut down ideas that differ from your own rather than explore the differences. It's like you think you're superior. I'm only saying what I see. Maybe you want to think about it.

    Bafang upgrade?

    You can use any motor you want, but it won't make any difference.

    Please let us know how you get on with it. Personal reviews are always better than the false ones you see in magazines , press, etc.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you think I have shares in Parler or something? I only mentioned it because one of us was celebrating Katie Hopkins being kicked off Twitter. I made the point that that doesn't help us at all because she's just set up again on Parler and taken not only all her own followers with her, but...

    battery problem

    I got 1681 miles from my 0Ah 0v battery! It regularly does 60 miles without a recharge.

    Bafang upgrade?

    You're not really giving enough relevant info. What are you trying to achieve? Please show a picture of your battery and controller.

    battery problem

    That's 8Ah then, so about 15 miles range when in good nick. To stay at 24v, the cells have to be multiples of 7, so 35 would be the max. The phone number is on the website. Post #12.

    battery problem

    The cells are marked 2000mAh (2Ah). It looks like they're in groups of three. Can you confirm whether its groups of three or 4? The listing for your bike that I looked at said 5Ah!

    Enviolo for a long-tail mid-drive cargo bike: advice on selection and required components

    I'd avoid a Nuvinci. I don't know what the latest ones are like, but the N360 slips with 22 amps and 36v. Also, they don't like shifting under the loads that a crank-motor makes, which breaks the weedy shift cables. And they're heavy. If It were my bike, I'd be looking at a slow wind Bafang BPM...

    Broken throttle

    They all work at 5v. In the controller is a system that cuts down the 24v/36v/48v or whatever to 5v to power the throttle, pedal sensor, speed sensor, brake switches, motor hall sensors and the controller's CPU. Only the motor and battery indicator lights work at battery voltage. If you have an...

    Bafang upgrade?

    Those fatbike motors can handle a lot more power. At 36v, you could get 20 to 21 mph cruising. For more power, you just need more amps. Your amps limit depends on the BMS in the battery and what cells it uses. Do you have any specification for the battery? What is written on the motor...
