    LCD S866 + Brainpower controller

    If you don't have a throttle, you can test by either using the 6km/h button (see LCD instruction) or by making a bridge between the red and the signal wire on the throttle connector. The signal wire is the wire that is not black or red. Be careful, if the motor works, it will run at full speed...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    It shouldn't do your battery any harm. If the controller has the same connectors, it should be compatible. You want sine wave. The controller you linked to is bigger than the Yose Power one.

    As I said, you have to open the battery and measure the voltages on the multi-pin connector.

    Charging Station For E-bikes

    Yes, I gave a £100 too. The guy running the campaign had some illness, then he came back, but he seemed to have gone a bit weird. The woman who was helping him got cancer and disappeared off the forum. She was very nice and very friendly. I hope she's OK, but as she never came back, I fear the...

    LCD S866 + Brainpower controller

    Too much information. I can't understand what you've done. You need to slow down and just do what I say. Here it is again. Use your meter set to measure volts (normally 20V scale unless it is automatic). Before going any further, disconnect everything from the controller except the LCD and the...

    Help! bbshd ,battery? issue

    No. It sounds like the BMS doing its job. It should switch off when the first cell reaches around 4.25V, so you probably have balance issues. The only way to be sure is to open it and check the voltages on the multi-pin connector to the BMS. The BMS will also switch off when the first cell...

    Real Bicycle Bells

    All these sort of products seem logical, but they just don't work. I tried many similar ones, and I can tell you that pedestrians ears are just not tuned to any noises other than bring-bring. The worst thing about those electronic ones are that the pedestrians don't respond to the first sound...

    Who's to blame?

    Share the cost with her, and both look at what you can do to prevent another occurrence. No need to involve anybody else. There's no need to find who's to blame either.

    Ebike under 700£

    Unfortunately "250W motor" doesn't mean anything. It's just a number on a piece of paper or stamped on the motor. What's important is how much power the motor controller allows from the battery into the motor and at what speed the motor has best efficiency. This makes it really difficult for...

    Real Bicycle Bells

    Only the bring-bring bells work against pedestrians. Other types of bell and horn work on occasions but bring-bring is the most consistent. Sound level doesn't seem to be a factor.

    Help! bbshd ,battery? issue

    It makes absolutely no sense to set your LVC to 41V. That's just asking for problems, and it's completely unnecessary. There's hardly any difference in charge between a more normal 43.4V and 41V. it might get you a couple of hundred metres at most. Even when your battery is at 45.8V, there's not...

    When you have a throttle, you don't have to use it, but there are always times when you will find one extremely helpful or even necessary.

    In principle, yes. You can use any 36V battery with any 36v controller. Some batteries have a compartment into which an optional motor controller can be stored. You can buy the battery with or without the optional controller. If you buy a kit that includes the optional controller, the...
