    I think what you're seeing is the join between the hanger and the frame. Nothing to worry about.

    Best way to repair my steel torque arm

    Mild steel is best because it's more resistant to metal fatigue. I wouldn't weld anything because you're much more likely to get metal fatigue in the welds. High tensile can be worse because it suffers from fatigue more than MS. What he needs is a bolt with the correct length shoulder that runs...

    Front hub 48v motor for very hilly area

    You must buy the LCD with the controller to be sure of software version compatibility. It's also a good idea to get the speed sensor, PAS and throttle from the same supplier, so that you get compatible connectors. 325 RPM is about right. if you get a faster motor, you're exceeding what the bike...

    Powabyke x-6

    You can use any 36v battery with that bike as long as it can give 18 amps continuously. The controller will only work if you connect at least 31V to it. Even then, Powabykes often have weird controls, so you need to do a search for the handbook, which tells you how to get power out of it. You...

    Front hub 48v motor for very hilly area

    Xofo didn't used to like selling to individuals, though they do make some exceptions. You can sometimes fin their motors on Aliexpress. Their motors are basically Bafang clones, and they work very well. I see there's a reseller on Ebay at the moment.

    Vanmoof X2 ebike review

    All I can say is that you can't trust anything that you read in The Guardian. I think Van Moof and The Guardian go very well together. Both think that if you keep printing the same propaganda often enough, people will be gullible enough to start believing it. Of course that does work on some...

    Bafang bbs01 won’t fit mountain bike

    Did you check the chain-line? You're wasting your time and money if it's too far out.

    Powabyke x-6

    It wasn't the best buy because Powabykes use non-standard electrical parts, so it's not so easy to figure out what's wrong. I'm not too sure about the X-6 specifically. I know there's something weird about the battery - like no BMS, but I can't remember the controller. When you get it, open up...

    Bafang bbs01 won’t fit mountain bike

    You'd need the 100mm version of the BBS with spacers on both sides, but even then, you might have problems with your chain-line.

    Help! E 07 error shown - Excelvan Ebike

    Most likely, the motor connector came out a bit. There's no need to look inside the motor. There's nothing in there that would cause your problem. It's an electrical fault. it might be worth looking at the motor cable where it exits the axle. Pull that spring thing up the cable so that you...

    Advice needed on 750w bafang bbs02b please

    You can tell just by looking at it. A PF BB is noticeably bigger. One other thing that's not so easy to spot is the width between 68mm and 73mm normal BBs. They both work with the BBS02, but 68mm is better.

    Low cost solution for Tandem and short journeys

    Any kit should fit and work with that bike. It doesn't show what's on the handlebars, so I can't say how the stuff will fit there, you might need to change them.

    Help! I need more power (not speed)

    Your motor can handle 22 amps, so get a 22 amp KT Sinewave controller from PSWPower along with the LCD, pedal sensor, speed sensor (if your motor cable doesn't have the white wire) and PAS (unless you don't mind messing about with connectors). You then have a choice of upgrading your battery to...

    Advice needed on 750w bafang bbs02b please

    Any normal bike that isn't the latest state of the art MTB or road bike will probably have the correct 68mm BB. There are too many different bikes to say any more on that. There's no point in buying a new bike as a donor because it's more likely to have the wrong type of BB and there is...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    Technically, you don't need to pay it as you didn't make any contract with them. If you go on the various consumer forums, there are a load of threads about it and how to avoid paying it. If you've already got the goods, you can tell them that their contract is with the seller, so they have to...

    Suntour LCD Display

    Do you have the removable LCD? If so, you have a bad contact on the back. Clean them then make sure that the LCD is a tight fit by wedging something down the side if it can move in its holder.
