I think it's called Dreamland.

If you get 06 with the motor disconnected, you've blown one or more MOSFETs in the controller. You can't see it, but you can test for it by measuring the resistance between each of the two battery wires and each of the three motor phase wires to get 6 readings. Each set of three should be the...

P3 should be set to 1. At the moment, your PAS is set to speed control instead of power control.

OP has titled this thread Orbea gain, but he was asking about whether it would meet his requirements, so it's very right to discuss the alternatives, especially as Nev is also asking for alternatives to it. The thread would be very boring if everybody just wrote "badly" to his question, which...

Generally, the more amp-hours you have, the less sag you get.

You remove the screws, then whack the end of the axle with a mallet, which makes the cover detach enough to start levering. They sometimes come the rest of the way with levering if you're careful and keep increasing the thickness of your levers, but if it gets stuck, you need a two or three...

The damage is normally where it goes into the motor on the outside where it gets twisted.

Put up a CCTV system around your house. Any would-be thieves are put off when they see the cameras staring at them, especially at night time when the IR LEDs glow like ray guns. You can get a complete 2 camera system with recorder for less than £100. I have installed three of the one in the...

That's fantastic. It's really satisfying to get to the cause. The arrangement for holding the hall sensor legs and wires is not that good. I guess that vibration caused metal fatigue in the legs or wires, which is what caused the detatchment. You might want to think about holding them down...

OK, that still sounds like slipping clutch. You can test it with the bike switched off and the wheel off the ground. When you turn the wheel forward, the wheel should be free, and when you turn it backwards you should feel the motor whirring. If you can't feel the motor, normally it means the...

Yes, some of us missed that possibility. Normally, it's not possible for a controller to turn the motor backards by itself, so the question is how did it happen? Did anyone change anything, like wires or settings? If not, some controllers have what's known as self-learning, which is a procedure...

I find it easier to repair the wires on a direct drive motor like yours than a geared one. As long as the wires aren't too damaged, you can simply pull the wire through the axle until the damaged bit is right through, then cut it, unsolder the redundant bit and resolder the new bit. That will...

Error code 01 comes when you switch on the bike and the controller detects a non-zero throttle condition. The cause would be water in the throttle or damage to the throttle. The end stops in the throttle are only thin plastic. If you bump the throttle against the zero end, you can override the...

To be pedantic and because we like science and maths, fitting a battery with more amp-hours does in fact increase the power and the torque compared with one with less amp-hours used for the same journey and charged at the same time. It's because the average voltage will be higher and both power...

This one of those things where what they're saying sounds like good advice and sort of makes sense. I think most people would follow that advice. Then you step back and have a think. The cells in their battery are surely the same as any others, and I doubt whether many people know about that...

Where did that come from? Wisper and Freego have been using the small 2.2kg Aikema motor for years. Now Juicy and others have joined them. How many have failed? I've never heard of a single one. Have you? I tell a lie. I just checked my records and found a Freego that I had to repair because it...

You can easily get that if you do it yourself, but you have to buy the parts from China, which is no problem. You can get a motor weighing from 1.5 to 2.2 kg and a bottle battery that weighs about 1.5kg, then install them on any aluminium framed road bike. Cost around £400 for the electrics and...

Sorry, I forgot that you already tested them. Here they are. Let us know how you get on...

When we talk about speed, most are referring to how fast the wheel will spin from the motor. If you want speed on the road, you need power. 250W of output power gets you to 15 mph on a flat road with no wind if it's an MTB type bike without pedalling. A BBS01 at default settings uses 15 amps at...
