    Carrera Crossfire-e/Vulcan owners, new replacement battery, charger and mount £240

    If your spokes are snapping get the rim rebuilt with Sapim strongs or re - tensioned, done properly they shouldn't snap.

    Why follow fashion opt for comfort over anything else, 30 - 40 degree swept back with comfort grips like Ergons. Something like these currently an excellent price at the mo. The mikes are narrower then the Goeff's I have. https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOMB/on-one-mike-handlebar Even on mtb...

    Ebikes

    A lock down will certainly occur in the metropolises but though with a good reason should be able to go about their way. For instance getting a food delivery on line at the mo is impossible. So shopping by person for the elderly/infirmed or isolated ones is needed at times, locally cycling is...

    The wire connectors aren't typical generic e bike ones used, your best bet is to rewire the motor wire to hub and splice those connectors back on to the wiring. Woosh bikes is your best bet for a wire repair/renewal, contact them and speak to Tony. You will have to take or post the hub to them.

    Ebikes

    I will still use my e - pushbikes. It is transport to work ( I'm in the key worker group), also will use it towing my trailer to deliver food/provisions for the wife and her 94 y/o granny (soon to be 95 next week). I have livestock locally so they need attending to prevent unnecessary...

    GTECH E-Scent MTB - Motor Issues

    Sell the bike and get a decent one, the TS hub route has no advantage over a good cadence hub set up. Get one of the Woosh code 16 hub bikes and it will **** over your crappy GTECH system all day and night long.

    New ebike buyer and best e-bike supplier edinburgh

    You need a hub motor bike with cadence PAS sensor, with lack of muscle strength a mid motor drive will not be of much use to you as they use torque sensing PAS and rely on the rider to input good effort to get the best out of them.

    Battery Advice

    With batteries management is key so is use, only charge them up before a ride (up to 12 hrs before is fine). After a ride check the SOC (voltage) and if it is between 36 -39v then leave them at that charge until you need them again, If below 36v charge them up for about 40 - 60 mins to raise...

    Battery Advice

    What does the voltage read form the discharge pins after charging ? If it is less then 4.14v then likely it has a balance issue, it doesn't necessarily men the cells are shot. It is possible the smaller battery is unbalanced so once a cell group reaches 4.2v the BMS takes ages to balance it up...

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    A few issues over the last year have been in the main about the crappy Suntour system used on the Halfraud Carrera's.

    Hi. First ebike conversion.

    Blimey four months dragging your feet and now you are in a bit of a hurry. You need to be looking at 14.5ah batteries or more imho. Sansung 29e great cells as long as you don't abuse them by de-restricting the speed limit to much and don't use to much current 15 -17a max should be fine. Make...

    Controller Display KT-LCD3. HOW do I slow walking pace down?

    Walk assist is programmed in, I have not tried using a different wheel speed and don't see it will make much difference.

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    Hub wise we see few issues with reliability unless water ingress is the issue or an old motor. This forum is partly about diy use and pushing boundaries a little.

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    Battery issues tend to be due to poor user maintenance or age related issues following a period of non use. The recent one regarding the 30q one is more down to poor cell selection for ebike use. Generic batteries don't use/have the sleep/hibernation modes of some of the dearer OEM ones.

    Mid motor vs Hub motor.

    I have to disagree with quote of 75% of issues are due to tweaking. On the Yose ones it appears that there is genuine issue with the customer model. Others talk about the cheap China Brainpower available and configuring/deciphering the Chinglish manual. Kt's in the most part are dual voltage...

    Wheel builder in Birmingham/Black Country area

    Hubs don't need thicker spokes as they break to often due to lack of elasticity, 14g 2mm Sapim strongs are ideal and I use them on all my hubs.

    GTECH E-Scent MTB - Motor Issues

    The hub is Bafang but is the BB sensor and controller ? You need to find out any makers name on them first, usually Bafang electronics have Szbaf (Shuzou bafang) wriiten on them. You would likely need a Bafang compatible lcd as well by the time you muck about you will have spent 400-500 quid...

    Controller Display KT-LCD3. HOW do I slow walking pace down?

    315 rpm will be no good in 27.5" rim or any large size rim unless the terrain is always flat, hit an incline and it will struggle with poor torque and heat up.
