You have to press the buttons within a few seconds of switching on.

Download the manual from here, then set C4 to zero. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://download.elecycles.com/manual/Display-Manual/LCD5-display.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwje6omSnvPgAhWWTxUIHc5ZBFgQFjABegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw0cJGCVTdNJRPAE6at58NO5

48v is 13 groups of 18650s in series. You can have 2, 3, 4, 5, etc cells in each group., so 4 x 13 would be 52 cells and 5 x 13 would be 65 cells. The current is shared between the cells in the group, so in a 52 cell battery at 24 amps, each cell has to give 6 amps. In a 65 cell one, each cell...

The front are normal ruber brake pads, which you can get from Wilkos or Halfords. The rear is a band brake that doesn’t have shoes. You just need to adjust it.

You can go as high as you like as long as you don't make the motor work hard at low speed. Higher current will make the bike go faster, so it can be safer to increase the current, but labouring up a long steep hill could be a problem for the controller as well as the motor. There are too many...

It can be vaused by just about anything, but if the motor works OK at low power, it's not likely to be anything inside the motor. The most likely cause would be a connection issue, but running like that with full power can damage the controller, so the problem shifts from one cause to another...

Correct.

Be wary of anybody's claims about hill-climbing and range without qualification. Rider weight makes a substantial difference and different people have different ideas of what hills are. Statements like, "flys up any hill" have no meaning when you don't know the weight of the rider, how hard...

Chinese lumens are the best. You get a lot mote of them for your money - if you believe the adverts. 180 lumens is not bright at all. You should be looking at thousands, like this one with 45,000 lumens. That's 250 times brighter. Even if you allow for a bit off Chinese exaggeration, say 10...

When you have a lights function operated by presssing a button, most of the LCDs send a signal to the controller to tell it to switch on the lights, but that only works if it has a connector for them, which most don't have. Even if it does have the connector, the power to it is very limited and...

We normally refer to the capacity of a battery as being the charge between the low cutoff and the high cutoff. That's 100% capacity. Say you had a 10Ah battery or a 400Wh one, 80% would be after it was down 2Ah and 80Wh respectively from fully charged. 20% would be 8Ah and 320Wh down. You'd...

It's a standard 135mm width, which the motors are made for. It looks like it has a built in off-set, which is very handy, or is that just the angle of the camera?

We all know how to look after lipos. There are a few people on this forum that have used lipos in electric bikes extensively, including myself. Ask any of them how many they bricked. I'm in an RC aero club and have also been using lipos in my planes for many years. I'm certainly not the only...

If battery security is important, get rid of the bag and make a box that you can fix to the frame with brackets and bolts. It's not difficult to make a box out of plywood or GRP.

Don't forget that you have to include the cost of chargers and mo itoring system. Also, they have a shorter life than normal lithium batteries, and you have to take into considerationconsideration that it's easy to brick them. Everything considered, the cost works out the same, but you get more...

It's the type of cells that are important. Panasonic make many different types with different capabilties. My guess is that they're the 3400mAh ones, which are supposed to be rated at 6A each, but in my experience, 4A is more like it, so with 4 in parallel, your battery is good for 16A. That's...

Those old KU60 controllers are great for testing motors, but pretty poor by today's standards. The pedal assist is very bad and the commutation makes the motor noisy. Your weight at 17st is a bit much for that motor and 48v, so I'd be thinking about a 36v battery and a controller that gives...

The best thing about the kit is the way the pedal assist works. You'd be a fool not to fit it.

Ebikes dire t have this one and some others with 24" wheels. The bikes with 24" wheels are obviously lower than ones with 26" wheels specially for short peple. https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/brands/freego/freego-regency-classic-electric-bike-16ah-24-wheel Freego are a well knosn brand that...

You're taking a much higher current from it that what's the norm. Do you know what cells are in it and how many amps the controller has written on the label?
