    Help! Handlebar throttle partial power only

    Yes the eco mode or low PAS mode of current control controllers are for most all that is needed, these modes do allow for some effort and fitness level . Whereas the all and be all high power modes do not such thing unless you are as mad as SW and have a very high/fast cadence of 120rpm.

    Help needed with Juicy bike - Battery connection

    Good easy fix, glad you are all nearly sorted. The re- soldering of the switch contacts is well worth trying as a bad solder isn't uncommon.

    Help! Handlebar throttle partial power only

    Those voilamart controllers are pretty much rubbish hence the cheapness of the kits, it is why so many buy them who aren't knowledgeable about the control systems. The controllers are speed control so you get max current at low speed all the time and then it only decreases as you near the cut...

    Controller help needed.

    If one cell group is low then no the battery won't work, the internal BMS will notice the fault and shut down. To check the cells one has to open the battery up to expose the BMS connector, the connector has multiple small thinner wires either 13 or 14 of them. One can then use this connector...

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Although not adept at electronics one can easily wire in a simple 2 wire voltage gauge to read, any where on the bike. One wire to battery/controller Red and one wire to the Black. My new diy battery is 44v and as expected the dual voltage lcd doesn't know if the battery is 36v or 48v so the...

    Problem with my Bafang HD

    Problem with the potting is it adheres to all the small tiny surface mount diodes, these are easily damaged by trying to lift the potting.

    Straps or bungee cords for securing cargo to bicycle trailer?

    Straps are better as they have no elasticity, unlike bungee's. I use simple cam buckle straps with my Carry Freedom flat bed, I use a removable large black container with lid or tie down taller or larger objects direct to the bed. The CF has four drilled holes to loop a strap thru. I use cheap...

    Help! Handlebar throttle partial power only

    KT's are current control so each level has a max set current speed is max in all assist With my 20a controllers I only get 100% if I use throttle or PAS 5. Mostly I only use PAS 1 which gives me 13% power of 20a, so 2.6a or about 110w with my 44v battery. On my flat terrain it is all the power...

    Fitting different battery to Gtech citybike

    KT are the most widely available 3rd party electronics, lots of places sell them and KT have cornered the kit market (good business sense) by making them freely available.

    Controller help needed.

    Battery sounds like it is at fault, individual cell groups need checking for low voltage. Are you up to opening the battery and using a meter to test/check.

    Battery Charge

    Store the battery at storage voltage which is anything between the nominal voltage and 3.85v per cell. Probably the best thing is leave it at nominal voltage in a cool unheated (not freezing) place like a garage, check the voltage every 3 or 4 weeks and if need be give it a 10 min charge...

    Front chainring/gearing

    Probably a set up issue. In the short time of use have you knocked the derailleur at all or lent it against anything. Check each chain link manually and make sure one isn't stiff or twisted, raise the rear wheel up and slowly cycle the chain over the chain ring. Is the chain too long ? If no...
