    Gear shifting

    As others have said change early so you are spinning more before the hill, once on the hill it is too late and stalling will occur with loss of momentum and effort. Treat the changing as you would a push bike.

    Hi

    Carrera Suntour system, yes avoid like the plague or even Covid. The issue at the moment is that a lot of ebike stock is very low and for the next couple of months will still be so , the choice of new stock will likely also be low as any China hub bikes will be built up within the UK/EU and will...

    Giant Lafree

    Some pics are best Tom so we can see the parts you need to try and match them or find something close. For instance the brake cable sensor replacement is to vague, is it the sensors or inner / outer cable ?

    Help! Bit of maintenance advice for an amateur

    Most LBS I don't think would bother because if unrepairable you will still be landed with bill for their time, so a new rim and spokes is the rule of the day. Just take the wheel without tyre/tube in to them for replacement and don't even mention ebike, ask for 14g spokes to be used. Any...

    Tyres help needed!

    If your rim already has a 1.75" then you should be ok to fit up to a 2.25" tyre. Measure the rim width internal with the tyre off, if it is 19mm or more then you will be fine, to know if a tyre will fit measure the width between the rear stays.

    Controller or battery issue

    For the new battery spec one that is 30a contiuous so it can cope with demand of the old controller if you are going to still use it in the short term. With two batteries the best use for them is to parallel them together by making up a parallel lead, then they act as one and will discharge...

    If need be use another one so the motor doesn't touch the stay other wise noise will resonate and get on your wick.

    KT LCD3 display question

    Throttle over rides the PAS when fitted and should give full power at any assist level and would assume this would be the same for throttle only use. If you have LCD3 you should be able to tell us the wattage reading when using the throttle and if it varies when changing the assist level...

    Looking to convert to electric but need some help please

    A part from the battery as a first time buy it will be simpler and easier to buy all from the same buyer.

    Looking to convert to electric but need some help please

    201rpm is good for about 22/23 mph at 48v and for torque, so ideal for hills. Seeing the same wheel you need to be sure the motor rpm is stated other wise they don't climb as well on hills, the wrong rpm winding can lead to heat build up in the motor and wasted battery energy due to inefficacy...

    Controller or battery issue

    My KT's even the 25a one only gives me about 150/160w max in PAS 1 (even climbing) , so to see 700w I would in my eyes say it is speed control. I had/have an LSW on the Bafang BPM motor wheel kit, though no W output on the screen each PAS level of five I could feel the different current in each...

    Looking to convert to electric but need some help please

    I prefer the layout and products of Topbikekit site to BMSB, there is a bit more choice and information on the products.

    nvm moscow throttle

    An lcd won't enable you to fit a throttle, you need a controller with the wired out put for one as well as the PAS out put. One can't be used for the other.

    Looking to convert to electric but need some help please

    You don't need the waterproof 1T4 cable set as it is not compatible with nay of the others. The PAS sensor is imho a crappy type to fit, a neater one suing the ring retainer that sits between the chain ring and BB are neater and less likely to get damaged. Buying the battery from China will add...

    front spoke sensor????

    Yes as Michael has said for a speed sensor or a wireless/wired bike computer if you have recently acquired the bike.

    Broken spokes on such a new ebike

    If the wheel isn't tensioned correctly then you can get broken spokes, more likely to happen with over tight/tensioned ones then looser ones.

    Controller or battery issue

    Going by what you say about the wattage output today then it sounds like I might be wrong and you may have a current controller, the brand is Lishui. Though I'm surprised as you said in a previous post you saw 700w in PAS 1 which made me think it was a speed controller. The hub for looks like a...
