    Controller Light Output - Uses?

    Buy any light with a regulator in side and these lights cope well with a range of voltages from 6v to 60v. My current front and rear one on the bike simply wires in to my controller lights wiring and are STVZO rated. The front gives a superb lighting for night town riding and is very good for...

    Government Announce - Fix Your Bike Voucher Scheme

    The bike fix scheme I think won't get much bike work done for the fee. More interestingly is the other initiatives involved in the Govt's raft of proposals in addition to the scheme. New cycling lanes proposed with proper segregation from other road traffic and no schemes involving painted...

    £50 bike repair voucher from tonight

    £50 isn't really going to get much work done on a bike tbh, by the time an LBS factors in there time I think peeps will be lucky to get a flat tyre repair/replaced, brakes working and a chain. LBS will use up the whole voucher and won't surprise me if then ask the owner for more as they find...

    My main two kit bikes all use the excellent KT electronics and are pretty much trouble free now for six years, hubs are bullet proof Bafang Cst on my town bike and AKM 128c on my tourer bike. Six years on the pair of 29E celled Dolphins still going well 42 miles last time out with 2.5v to LVC...

    Change motor in cargo bike

    Yes that's about it, battery wise you need at least v.good 10a cells to be used. LG MJ1, MH1, M29, M36? Samsung 25R. Sony VTC5/A or VTC6. Speak to Woosh because if out right speed is not important they may have a very high torque hub kit of about 180 rpm.

    KT 890 LED panel dont show speed

    Ok thanks for the proper pic it is a geared hub, in #5 you posted an incorrect pic of a D/D hub system so one can only surmise. KT 890 user manual. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1455195/Kunteng-Kt-Led890.html?page=2#manual The only settings seem to be by pressing on/off and mode at the...

    Change motor in cargo bike

    The specs give not much away except the battery and deducing the cells used for the battery which isn't very inspiring for such a heavy bike. At most Samsung very mediocre 26F or J cells are used , not up to the task. As vfr has mentioned a new battery and hub will be needed if op goes to 48v...

    scooters and power ratings

    I have been reading that thread and it only concerns the trial scooters which are being regulated during the trial. It is true much is down to the US influence on the using them and the companies involved. For the ones being used legally, illegal ones (non trial ones) will be more then ten fold...

    Oxygen S-Cross MTB MkII (S021 model)

    It is likely that the new Oxygens are complying with the letter of the law regarding throttles as they need to type certificated. The controllers if not programmed will certainly not be able to use a throttle.

    KT 890 LED panel dont show speed

    The hub in the pic is a D/D hub, if it is a 250/1000 dual hub then it doesn't support any old KT display and uses a customer custom version. We have had enquiries before about these kits and similar issues, the LCD3 from them is more expensive for that reason.

    anyone know what this is?

    It's a stripped down scooter with so called pedals to try and make it legal to use on roads/cycle lanes as pedelecs, in practice these things are too heavy to pedal for any reasonable time and are basically an illegal twist and go moped.

    Change motor in cargo bike

    Do you know the hub model ? Do you know the hubs winding speed/rpm ? And the current rating of the controller in use ? 60 kg bike dead weight is heavy for a hub to shift up hill, let alone load it with rider and cargo. For more torque one needs a low wound hub and more current if using 36v. The...

    Cassette fitting lube?

    Talc is inert so won't cause any metal to metal chemical reaction. Also grease on posts gets messy where as talc just dusts off.

    Cassette fitting lube?

    For seat posts don't use grease but a dry lube, on a lot of bikes you may notice a White powder lube has been used so Talcum powder would be an ideal dry lube.

    Pendleton eSomerby Controller Upgrade

    Well done nice to here of a problem free install of the KT electronics ( as of late there have been a few where the motor/KT combo have not married well). The difference as you mention over binning the speed controller to the current controller is so different, with the latter giving much more...
