    Need some advice

    The fixie bloke got 18 months for killing a women on his illegal non powered bike because it had no brakes, the guy who hit the women was in all respects riding a moped unlicensed/registered he might get 2 - 3 years I reckon. Also video evidence shoes him doing a runner with his smashed bike...

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    The issue with scooters as mentioned in the last few paragraphs is that they are unregulated, their speeds are too high for pavement/mixed pedestrian use. Using such a fast vehicle on the pavement is not acceptable esp when they are capable of 30mph/50kmh.

    Need some advice

    Though tonight 23.00hrs we will be leaving :cool:, pedelecs law will remain as the status quo, faster bikes or higher powered bikes have been catered for so OP is relying on change that isn't going to happen. The Mayor of London/TFL are putting the use of scooters under the lime light but again...

    Need help with my e bike

    It depends on the controller type in use, is it a current or speed controller ? Current controllers like KT or Lishui use varying current in each PAS level. Speed controllers use constant current in each PAS level. If ops bike has the later type then it will collapse in any level or with...

    Need help with my e bike

    I no longer can help as to many conflicting quotes from the OP and unanswered results when asked for them. In #7 he originally said; " I put the third level even if its in the first level it cuts out.. When i turn the throttle also it cuts out. So no light in the display i have to turn the...

    Need help with my e bike

    I have had a similar issue for two or three years now with my six year old pair of 29e batteries, If I use throttle or high PAS they sag and cut out due to raised IR , both charge to 41.5 - 41.8v. I can still get 30 - 40 miles range out of them on flat terrain if I only use PAS 1 or 2. If I...

    Charger - Mean Well HLG Led driver

    No.... They are the one's I don't want, I use a similar one on the Swizzbee which is ideal but not for the use as DJ has done. I have used the Blue 100a ones but prefer the simple screw connection and place the unit in a small project box.

    Batteries recelled with higher capacity newer lithium cells

    You don't need button top cells just regular flatter top cells. 95% of the cell is negative ( the whole casing )only the top middle contact on the Pos end is positive, when the tab is soldered on it has link/connect to the next cell either in parallel or series. Shorting can occur as the tab...

    You don't need a 1kw D/D hub motor for commuting, it is as bad an idea as using a BBS02/mid drive. For flat commuting a geared hub is perfect, look at Woosh 250w hub kits or opt for AKM 100c or AKM128c.

    Need help with my e bike

    Sami needs a new battery then his problem will be fixed, it's that simple. You can't reverse voltage sag/collapse with old knackered cells. Problem is Sami doesn't answer some of the questions asked or carry out the simple tests as we ask, so we don't get the correct answer we are looking...

    Need help with my e bike

    Jimmy will likely carry out a simple load test on the battery as he does with new ones he builds to check all is well, his conclusion will be they are knackered. You can't repair cells as they are weakened by the chemical reactions inside that have led to cell break down and high IR, mixing new...

    Need help with my e bike

    What actually does the voltage read when you se the brake if it collapses before rising to 40 volts then the battery is finished. Please listen and read carefully what we are saying. Voltage collapse happens when the battery cells are knackered, a knackered cell can hold high volatge because...

    How do I, Should I?

    As I suspected it is a cheapo all in one triple crank set riveted together, most modern user friendly one's use chain ring bolts to separate the rings from the crank spider.

    Black is ground so would go to Gnd marked port all the Gnd ports should test for continuity on the board so use an empty one. There are three spare Gnd ports next to sp+. Red is 5V so again needs to go to a marked 5v port again all 5v should test for continuity on the board , again use an...

    Need help with my e bike

    Not very helpful posting 30q cells to suggest to OP they are suitable, his battery will be using 2a or 2.5a cells. All we probably know is that a 18659 cell of some description is used.
