    Electric bikes discredited

    There are a few traditional drop bar riders/club riders who look at it as cheating, however they are a minority and small minded bigots who won't change even if it means they could ride more often. As one ages I just don't understand the refusal to try something different but then there will...

    are my dropout too big?

    A decent steel fork for front hub will be better then nearly all ali forks, the only ali fork good enough I have found for a front hub is the Suntour XC range. The one I had on my 700c with powerful Bafang BPM had about 8mm thick meaty d/o's with triangulated gusset as part of the design, I was...

    Hello

    Sorry but people are deluding themselves comparing any power assisted pedelecs to a push bike.

    Bafang Rear Hub Motor Questions

    Bafang geared hub and likely not a very powerful one, one from the small swx range of hubs. The gutlessness could be due to the winding speed of the hub/motor rpm, if the winding speed is too high then it will be crappy for hill climbing. The controller looks like it is a speed controller that...

    PAS not working

    P2/5 is unusual try 1 or 6. The PAS reason is the DL is double hall so the basic setting 00 -- 02 doesn't work.

    are my dropout too big?

    The hub motor axle should be a snug tight fit in the drop out and certainly not anything like the d/o in that pic, that d/o is knackered and looks like the one end of the jaw has broken off or it is made of cheese.

    Hello

    I lmao when people talk about wanting an ebike that rides like a push bike, how one thinks a powered mid drive bike is a kin to or feels like riding an unpowered push bike I never know. How the f**k does going up hill on a mid drive bike ever compare to a push bike ? It is pure fantasy when I...

    Help with kt controller

    The power is dependant on the controller current and battery being able to deliver that power. Which KT controller did you buy and what battery are you using ?

    Pendleton Somerby Upgrade

    1. You can't just buy the KT LCD3 you have to buy a KT controller as well and maybe other parts like PAS etc , if you don't want to do much wire work. The LCD3 has a wired thumb pad, it is used to make all the parameter setting changes and simply uses an up/down press to toggle between the PAS...

    Changing Wheels...Cube Bike?

    You will need new tyre as well. The next feasible size down is 27.5"/650B the O/A rim & tyre diameter is approx. 38 mm less, the drop out widths will then decide on how fat a tyre you can fit. A 26" rim/tyre is approx. 63mm less in diameter then 29". Reducing tyre size then changes geometry and...

    Please help to choose E-bike for 2 child trailer and unfit parents.

    For both of you it should do the job nicely without the need to drill out the original hitch. If I were to have one made up I would maybe want the plate to be about 20mm longer so all of the hitch sits on it.

    Battery

    Unless a permanent repair can be done then insulation tape won't last with rain and cold. As asked some pics please. Depending on the damage sugru, epoxy resin or even fine grp matting/resin could be used to repair to make water tight/safe.

    Bafang mid drive

    The hall sensor connector as vfr has mentioned can be an issue, on my BBS01 I had to remove the silicone from both parts of the connector. You need to gently undo/remove the controller to access the wiring. If still no luck after trying that then Woosh bikes in Southend might help out.

    Wisper intermittent power issue

    If the display turns off then it means power isn't reaching it so disruption to the power supply, it could be a bad battery contact or low voltage. As vfr has said check the battery voltage after charging, it needs to physically be measured with a meter to know the true reading.

    E22 on Carrera Crossfire Ebike

    For the battery you have to try and open it but it is a last option if all else fails. Some are easy and you simply undo the machine screws others use snap clips which are not easy to open.

    Help with kt controller

    The KT's are one of the best (if not the best) after market set up's to buy I have had them on several bikes and all have worked as they should. Each PAS level offering more current as one goes up the five PAS levels. The speed in each level remains the same depending on the speed setting set in...

    Help! Besv PAS1 help and repair pls

    Being the controller wiring is a mess for what ever reason it has become like that, it's probable something has shorted in the display. The use of Higo is usually Bafang systems domain.

    Please help to choose E-bike for 2 child trailer and unfit parents.

    Trailer hitches are typically for 9mm QR axles so for ebike towing one needs to modify/adapt the hitch for a 12mm hub axle. The diy adapter plate is the obvious solution, if you need to buy tools and the cost mounts up so try your local car mechanic/garage or a local engineering firm just give...
