    You didn't really answer my question: Specifically, do the lights go off at the exact time the motor cuts?

    That's a shame. Any throttle will work, but it'll work backwards so you have to fully twist it to stop the motor. You can solve that by reversing the magnets inside, but some throttles are very difficult to dismantle. The thumb throttles are easiest to open. Another option is to use a rh thumb...

    battery problem

    You should check what's wrong with the battery first. Looking at your first photo, at the left end inside the case about a third of the way up is a multi-pin connector. You need to pull it out and measure the voltage on each pin. There are slots in the side of the connector where you can get...

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    Front hub motors aren't so bad on those dutch style bikes with big front wheels and pull-back handlebars, but they're diabolical on a road bike or a light-weight hybrid type, where the extra weight on the steering is very noticeable and they struggle for grip from thin tyres.

    Ezee quando 7 flashes error

    After careful thought, the only logical cause I can think of is that the voltage is noisy on the faulty battery. You'd have to put it on an oscilloscope to confirm that. My memory is bad these days, but I've got a feeling that I've seen ferrite cores on some bikes, possibily Ezee, to smooth out...

    Motor buying advice

    Has he already got a 1000w motor wheel? They're not very good and probably unsuitable for what he wants. Some controllers are dual mode. They can work with or without hall sensors. If you can show pictures of what you have, it'll help a lot.

    Bottom Bracket Cables

    Buy a gear cable with an outer and run it from the shifter all the way to the derailleur around the outside of the motor. You can buy the Clarkes universal gear cable from Halfords for £7.50 or buy a brake cable and gear inner at Wilkos for £3.50, and swap the brake outer onto the gear cable.

    Next question: One of the bikes has battery indicator LEDs on the throttle. How do they behave during the cut-out.. Do they go off with the motor or go down to the red or hold firm?

    Why do you want a throttle? Your bike has a special one, which you'll have a lot of trouble to get hold of, so probably better to repair it if faulty?

    Those batteries are almost certainly shagged. I've repaired several of them in the past. When shagged, they still charge to 42v and all the cells will measure as 4.2v, but as soon as you try to take current from them, the voltage collapses. You can only see that if you do a proper load test...

    Wisper Accidentally De-Restricted my bike?

    There are many different bikes that can be deristricted by pressing the right buttons on the LCD. On the older ones, it tends to be the up and down buttons simultaneously or the set and up buttons. More recent LCDs tend to have a numeric password in, but some are only 3 digits, so it doesn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you think there are no fake accounts on Twitter? The fake account on Parler that had KH's picture on it was linked to a fake donations account, which was completely fraudulent. That's why it was shut down, not because KH thinks she's more important. I sometimes wonder what you guys are on.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He was on the terrorist watchlist! The book of how to be a good Muslim tells that you should use knives to stab enemies in the neck. All across the country there are reports of guys randomly stabbing people in the neck. In nearly all cases, they've been put down to mental illness. Any person...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's completely irrelevant. My point is that there's no point in driving popular people away from Twitter because they'll only set up somewhere else and take all their followers with them, ultimately leading to the demise of Twitter. #Twexit is trending.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wonder how many of the claimed million are real? How many are UK-based? And how many will really move across somewhere else? She now has 53,000 followers on Parler and is getting about 200,000 views per post on average. That's after only 36 hours of being there.

    Help! To understand about EPAC testing and Certification under En15194 and other EU Directives

    I would have thought that it would be easier and cheaper to use a testing house in India. SGS do ebike testing in UK and China. They have a facility in India, so contact then and see what they say. By testing locally, you're probably more likely to get sympathetic treatment...

    Orus E-8200

    You need to check the gearing. The listing says Shinano 6 speed, but that doesn't make sense. Acera is a free-hub system, but 6 speed would normally be a freewheel system, which is what you get on the cheaper ebikes. The problem is that 6 speed freewheels normally have 14 teeth top gear, which...
