If it gives any more trouble, cut the connectors off and solder the wires.

When you solder the shunt, it tricks the CPU into thinking there's less current flowing than what is, so it gives more current in every setting, whether you use a throttle or not. The watts display will also be proportionally incorrect.

It's a perfect bike for conversion. I'd use a rear cassette motor. 48V gives more power options. They knocked those bikes out for £150 on the final clearance. What a bargain!

I'd double check with Cyclotricity. 451mm rims are very hard to get these days. They're nearly all 406mm. Have a look on Ebay or anywhere else to see if you can find one in the UK that isn't 406!

That motor won't work without substantial modification. It looks like the controller's inside it. the connector has at least two extra pins. What are they for? Can you show us a picture of the connector directly into it, so that we can see the pin configuration?

I'm pretty sure that the SWX02 has 6 magnets for the speed sensor, so P2 should be set to 6. That's your problem with the speed reading.

Coming from Taiwan? Hello!

Yup, crooked as hell. Anyone who puts one pannier on their bike is crooked, and inconsiderate to the feelings of others. A bike with only one pannier is just so offensive to the eye. I'm going to have nightmares now about bike shops selling bikes that aren't complete. One thing I don't...

All trailers are suitable for ebikes. It's just a matter of how they attach. Some attach to either one side or both sides of the rear axle. The 12mm axle and the 12mm nuts on a hub-motor mean that you will most likely have to modify something. If it's a single-sided piece with a 10mm hole, it...

If the tyre says 451, that's what you have. Are you sure that you're measuring correctly? You measure across the diagonal from and to where the bead of the tyre sits on the rim. You have to use a bit of judgement where that is.

If I did it again, I think I'd use a downtube battery on the crossbar. You'd have to add two or three rivnuts to the tube to hold it. That would leave your rack free for anything you want. A warning about the rack. The one I did was broken before I started. The welds on the frame bracket at...

It's OK to stretch steel forks. Age doesn't matter. You can now get the Q70, which wasn't available when I converted mine. You don't have to stretch the forks with one of those. I think a front hub-motor will be a lot better than a crank-motor.

Doesn't it say that it is in the listing title?

But the spacers go on the left side, so don't affect the chain line.

When you put them in a case, it's difficult to see the screen when it's sunny. I prefer to keep mine in my pocket and listen to the instructions through headphones.

28" and 26" motors are normally the same. I think the labels are more for the retailers and wheel-builders so they don't get them mixed up. À Most motors come in a range of different windings. Sometimes just two - one high speed for small wheels and one lower speed for big wheels. The Bafang BMP...

I saw it in the LCD4 manual, but when I checked, it's also in the 2017 LCD3 manual.

It doesn't work like that, like the guy that went to jail because he didn't have a front brake. He was completely innocent regarding the accident, which occurred when a woman stepped out on him while texting on her phone. When I was schoolteacher, the police came to check the kids bikes. Some...

Did you see the additional settings in C5? I never noticed them before. There's no explanation in the manual about what this means. Maximum current value is the amps written on the label. C5 cuts that down on values 3 to 9 and allows it without the slow start on value 10. These three values...

I know Cyclotricity used to use MXUS motors. If you want a bit more power, you can always turn up the current in the controller. It's the controller that's the biggest factor in how much power and torque you get from the motor, not the motor itself. Wheel size also has a direct effect. You get...
