    Cube 42" step through models, Town or Elly

    Carbon frame rear hub kit?

    Only a nut case would fit a Cyclotricity 500w kit to a carbon fibre frame! The motor is massive. What's the point of spoiling a light weight bike with an over weight motor. There's nothing wrong with the Cyclotricity kit, but if you want one, stick it in one of those cheap catalogue bikes that...

    Help! Motor running but no power !

    In simple terms, there isn't an easy fix. The motor will need a substantial repair that most ebike shops wouldn't want to get involved with. They just replace the motor wheel complete. Your bike will need to go back to the supplier for repair, or they might just send a motor wheel for you to...

    Buying used.

    You can check the battery yourself with a proper battery load tester or by going out on a 50 mile ride. The cheapest load testers from China are about £100. Bosch batteries can be checked by some dealers who have the special tester, which gives an official report on its condition. Some...

    Throttles allowed?

    I only got the story second hand. The guy that told me that the company wrote to some government department and was given a reply that it was OK to use throttles on their bikes. They may have already had type approval to L1eA. If not, maybe they do now. I hope you don't think I was laughing at...

    hall sensors

    This is the problem. People read stuff on the internet and then jump to conclusions. I don't know how many bikes I've had to fix with symptoms like yours, but I can say that only one had a faulty hall sensor, and that was a big direct drive motor like the one in that video, where hall sensor...

    Throttles allowed?

    Question still not answered. I'll try again. Is a 25 km/h 250w bike with pedals and a throttle and type approval an EAPC? The bikes referred to in the OP had type approval as far as I was told. Sorry Flecc, you ninja'd my post. Thanks for clarification.

    Throttles allowed?

    The words in the last two posts still don't make it clear. Is a 250w LPM with throttle and Type approval an EAPC? In other words, are you confirming what I wrote in the OP? If you're still reading, Mr Wisper, is that a 250W 48v 100 NM EAPC? I was chuckling at the thought!

    Where to buy smart charger Luna Charger 52V from

    Where did you get that from? I have seen some ebike chargers that latch off, but most are CC-CV and hold maximum charging voltage as long as they're connected. That's important for balancing.

    hall sensors

    Hall sensors don't normally blow these days. The problem is more likely a simple connection issue. First, make sure that the connector near the motor is pusshed all the way in, then, if you have bullet connectors at the controller, make sure that they're tight. Many of the bikes I have to fix...

    KT-890 to KT-LCD3 set up help

    You're wasting your time playing with those parameters until you have the basic protocols set, which is C11. You know it's correct when you can see the watts changing on the right of the display. Once you have that you can set the throttle and PAS parameters and anything else if you need to...

    Freego Hawk repair

    You should be able to apply some logic. If the cut offs are purely random and you can switch back on and ride some distance before it happens again, it's most likely a connection fault. On the other hand, if it doesn’t do it when the battery is fully charged, but starts to happen when the...

    Battery connector doesn't fit

    If you must have connectors, then XT60 or Deans. Andersons can bend until they don't make proper contact, and they're harder to solder and assemble.

    Battery connector doesn't fit

    Cut them off and solder the wires together. That's a cheaper, easier and more reliable solution.

    I broke it... in four months!

    The problem is that you rode the bike through 4 months of dirty wet salty winter roads. Had you used it in the summer, it would still be OK. You can't do any damage to the pedal sensor no matter how hard you pedal because it's mechanically isolated from the drive train. It functions by observing...

    KT-890 to KT-LCD3 set up help

    The on/off switch, battery indicator, temperaure all work directly in the LCD because the LCD has its own CPU powered by a pair of wires that come directly from the battery. When you try any function to change something in the controller, like, power level, max current, cut-off voltage, max...
