That adjuster is for the speed limit. Turn it each way to see which way increases the speed. You just have to use your judgement for the solder. It's difficult to see in the photo whether that's solder or the coating on the shunt has fallen off. I would start with a blob on each end up to the...

Now do you know that it's the cable and not the controller in the hub?

See the thick red wire, then the thick black wire. The next thing in that line is the shunt, grinning at you from under the black wire. Pull the wires out the way, then add a blob of solder about 25% of its total length. Give it time for everything to heat up so that the solder fuses. It looks...

Here you can see how Google maps works. three alternate routes are offered, though you can adjust any of them by pulling the nodes. It shows the inclines bottom left. You can put your cursor on the steep bits to see on the route where they are, then you can pull the nodes onto alternative routes...

You got a really nice bike for that price. It'll give you many thousands of trouble-free miles. 22 mph is a nice speed for a bicycle. Any faster than that, sounds like a good idea, but it brings all sorts of problems, which will soon make you want to go back to 22 mph.

If you have a smartphone, you can use Google Navigation that's really good, or you use Google maps, choose a location, then select "directions". There's a tab where you select what vehicle you're in or on. If you select "cycling", it'll follow all the cycle paths and routes. All this is...

I use these combined brakes/shifters, which are much easier. You press the brake lever down to shift down. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shimano-LX-ST-M585-Dual-Control-Shifter-and-Disc-Brake-Rear-right-1700mm-Silver/133186889991?epid=12009748881&hash=item1f028ea907:g:3mkAAOSwkotaDOe4&redirect=mobile

It needs to be 5 amps. You can use a glass one. Loads on EBay.

Sorry to here that. I know how angry it makes you. Have you thought about a CCTV system? £100 gets you a two camera wireless system, that has motion detection. If anybody goes in your garage, it sends you photos by email immediately, then you can see on your phone in real time what's happening...

You should be able to get a lot more speed out of it than that. I think 120 mph should be possible. If you're going to go that fast, I'd recommend at least a crash helmet. Armour and one of those air-bag jackets are also a good idea. Here's how you do it. Ride the bike to Beachy Head. When you...

The black multi-pin one is the worst offender. I've seen many of those, where the 36v pin snaps off due to corrosion. It's because it sets up a corrosion cell if any water gets in, which it often does because it's not very well sealed. Definitely put silicone grease in that one.

Yes. Modern MTBs tend to have wider tyres, so the chainstays are spaced further apart. They also have low gearing, so they use small chainwheels that can keep clear of the chainstays. If you want to use the bike for proper off-road stuff, you have to choose carefully. If you want to ride the...

If you put a wattmeter between the controller and battery, you can see the effect of the regen. It's measurable, regardless of what any theory says. That's how I discovered it.

That reminds me, here's a fact that many don't know. Even geared hub-motors with clutches regenerate a small amount of charge back into the battery. When the controller cuts power when you stop pedalling or let go of the throttle, the motor spins on for a bit because it has momentum (kinetic...

You're betting mixed up. The David Attenborough one was published on Netflix. The 1975 one looked like it might have been BBC, but I'm not sure. The 1994 one is US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Regardless of why or whether the climate change is a thing, that documentary team knew about the regular walrus event, so they went and filmed it to promote funding for the WWF. They blame it on climate change so that people will feel guilty and donate. Also, just like the mainstream news, they...

There are two speed limits. One for PAS and one for throttle. Did you set and test both of them?

That wasn't my original source. There's a documentary from 1975 that shows the walruses falling of the cliff long before climate change was ever a thing. The commentator said in that video that it was an event that happened whenever the walrus population was high. Here's a vid of a 1994 event...

You can only bring the two batteries in parallel when they're at the same measured voltage +/- 0.5V. You must disconnect them when charging. The batteries won't spark and destroy the connector if they're switched off when you connect to the controller.

The speed has a different limit for each level in the LCD. Did you try it on the highest one? Is your 21.8 mph with the wheel off the ground?
