I didn't type the sentence very well Bob, I should have said I use the bike to visit and check the livestock. My live stock are honey bees Bob. I have seven colonies, my transport locally is 95 - 99% my bike and a Carryfreedom flat base trailer. The hives are static ones, the bike combo is used...

You can use any disc if the diameter is the same as your one. It's unusual for them to break make sure the sensor is also undamaged. If you want to try and get an exact replacement then ebikesdirect took over the spares for Freego's after they went into liquidation, other wise post a pic of...

Fortunately I not one of the confined yet until the virus gets me , I can still get out and enjoy driving and delivering. Also I e-pushbike to work and use it to deliver groceries to my wife as a she is the full time carer for her soon to be 95 y/o gran and now her 70 y/o mum who is now...

Maths a bit out there 24v is usually 7s, fully charged is 29.4v. 28v is only 4v per cell group. Also 20v is too low though most spec sheets use 2.8v as a minimum, with mine 22.4 - 23v is the lowest I go which is 3.2/3.28v per group. The avatar bike is the 24v Swizzbee and I see 16a...

Good to go for another 10 years now.

The shunts are solid state resistors and they resemble one of little black components on a pcb.

It's been a long many few years since anyone has been banned from the site.

Not forgetting with any hub or mid drive they all have a terminal motor rpm and when that rpm speed is reached backemf (electrical speed saturation) come in to play, current ramps down as does the speed if your legs aren't strong enough. My Bafang CST hub I have set the speed for 16.5mph cut...

It should help as your cadence will be lower so rpm is lower you might get another 2 -3 mph before you feel the speed/current ramping down as you reach the BEMF limit again.

In that case it is working correctly, don't forget the weight of the hub is very central so is a bit of a dead weight to rotate. Any hub is hard/very hard work on an incline without power even in low gear.

An easy test with out battery power is to lift the back wheel and by hand rotate it forwards, there should no resistance and the clutch freewheel should allow it to spin a few turns. try it backwards and you will feel a bit of resistance as there is no clutch freewheel in that direction.

With no power the extra motor/kit weight is noticeable, however in low gear you should be able to quite easily pedal the bike on flat terrain as the hub has a freewheel for forward propulsion, once moving changing up gear should pose no problem to go a bit faster.

The 250w speed of 16mph suggests it is speed limited as the 500w setting is greater. The mid drives are geared for certain rpm/cadence speeds so at 20mph when you feel the current reducing is because the cadence has reached the max for the drives rpm ratio. A larger chain ring will reduce the...

Not in the remotest way amusing/funny or even laughable, more like childish behaviour of a bored keyboard warrior with a loathing for another. Behave and grow up FFS as SW would put it.

Simply put 400 means 400wh or about 11ah capacity for a 36v battery. 4 levels of assist by way of the handle bar display, each level giving variable amounts of current/watts to the drive system. Eco is the low level of power through to Turbo which is the high level of power.

As far as I'm concerned they all dot he same job and made from the same materials so buy /use KMC or Shimano when on offer below £10.

Any 9 spd chain will work, take your pick. Also plenty on ebay. https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/chains-9-speed/https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cassettes-9-speed/ Some on special offer at the mo like KMC or Jobsworth. https://www.planetx.co.uk/c/q/components/drivetrain/chains...

One farmer the other day told someone walking their dog to go home and not put others at risk, for his troubles he got a beating. Plod are looking for the offender.

You can use any make of 9spd cassette the fitting interface are all the same, just select one with the same size teeth count to match your derailleur. Again any 9 spd chain will work whether it is Wipperman, KMC , Shimano or Sram etc,etc. There's no rocket science behind which you use the...

Current ramps down as you hit the hubs terminal rpm limit (motor winding), as mentioned back EMF comes in to play. When you drop the speed the back EMF is no longer an issue so the hub rpm can increase again until it all begins over again. What is the no load speed of the hub on full throttle ?
