    Ten years with Kalkhoff Panasonic

    No, the Crossfire has a Suntour hub-motor system. Those old Kalkhoffs had a 24v Panasonic chain-drive motor.

    LCD S866 + Brainpower controller

    Do you understand the difference between controllers that use speed control and those that use power control? Yours uses speed control, so the initial force is always the same.

    Help! Brake Cutoff Switches.

    There's not a legal requirement, but there is a requirement in EN 15194 that says that the motor must stop within a certain distance or time from when you stop pedalling. Some old controllers run on for up to 2 seconds from when you stop pedalling. Without brake sensors, that's fairly...

    Ten years with Kalkhoff Panasonic

    Why oh why didn't Kalkhoff put the 36v Panasonic motor in their Agattus and Pro Connects instead of that stupid Impulse motor?

    Help! Replacement electronic controller required

    I can't understand any of that. The replacement controller was replaced, the controller you wanted to put in is out, and the one you took out is in. Is that it? Not that it matters because you still haven't explained what the problem is. Did something catch fire? Was your motor going too fast...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    £216,577 up for grabs. I'm not surprised. If you want to crowdfund me with that much money to decide whether or not to punch Boris Johnson on the nose, I'll accept your money, but, like in the above case, the decision will be no.

    A few days ago, you could have got odds of 11/5 on Tommy Robinson winning his seat. Today, they've shortened to 17/10.

    Budget kit recommendation

    Yes and no. That kit comes from Ding in China. He uses the Daskit brand to try and sound German. The kit is well made, and it'll do everything you want. It's a plug-and-play kit, but like all kits with those connectors, it's virtually impossible to use a meter on it to diagnose any problems that...

    LCD S866 + Brainpower controller

    It's Chinese English. By power, they mean PAS level, which in your case is speed. If you don't believe me, set it at 1 and see which level your display shows when you switch on. Select first gear and turn the pedals to spin the motor up to maximum and note the speed. Repeat after resetting to 5.

    Help with PAS connection...

    Firstly check that the gap between the magnet disc and the sensor is an even 1 mm. Secondly, check that the magnet disc isn't slipping on the shaft. lastly, there's a setting for the sensitivity of the sensor. Try turning it up, but don't do that until you've eliminated the other possibilities.

    Budget kit recommendation

    You can overvolt the Voilamart motor OK. You can overvolt any motor, except that you can run into problems with motors that already have high speed. It's complicated but you have to make sure that the motor's power and speed are compatible. The controller in that kit is pretty bad by modern...

    LCD S866 + Brainpower controller

    P12 is nothing to do with power control. The controller uses speed control, not power control. P12 determines which speed level appears on the LCD when you switch on, to save you from having to press the up or down buttons a few times to get to your preferred level. It's only a function for...

    Battery cover removal

    It's a while since I've done one of those, so my memory might not be correct, but you'll see whether i'm right. take the battery out of the frame. On the under-side, you'll see the screws that hold the two halves of the case together. Take all the screws out and pull the two halves apart...

    That would make sense then. She logs on as incognito so that she can leave thumbs down symbols that nobody can see. Right!
