    Controller rated watts

    They would both be the same, usually watt marked controllers have differing current values.

    Help! Voltage problems

    It's a shame you went and bought a new battery as a simple check of the original with a multi meter would have shown the voltage to be good. The issue is likely to be a controller fault and a faulty voltage regulater within, I had a similar problem with my now defunct Oxydrive kit. Two good...

    Help! Which has greater acceleration/top speed? Bufang BBS-HD 1000W <---> Bufang BBS-M620 ?

    Several and they are ??? So far there has only been one e-bike case and that one is on going, of recent times there have been two cases that hit the headlines both non assisted pedal bikes.

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    You only have to see the videos and news of London cyclists who regularly go thru red lights very few are using e bikes. I was in Rottingdean/E.sx and one year when on a ride I waited at the lights to go red when a woman totally ignored them and went straight thru on her pedal bike.

    Took the plunge

    The switch issue as I see is more simplistic and is about a simple on off flick of a switch that instantly transforms the bikes speed and not a display that you have to fumble around with in the settings. As SW has said though until someone is actual taken to court over it we will never know.

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    And as the saying goes if my Aunt had balls she would be my Uncle.

    Took the plunge

    The product marking on the same motor 250/350w I believe and others also believe is for marketing, for the EU/UK 250w is used but for USA and other countries 350w or 500w is used as they daren't think of using 250w as they feel it inferior. USA especially as bigger is better.

    Don't Wisper use a AKM128 250W ?

    Took the plunge

    No, because the 250 and 350 can probably both be adjusted except one will deliver a bit more power. The motor winding may be different or the controlle amps will be different.

    Which Conversion

    The 26H is rated 5.2a max, it delivers the same capacity as 26F but sags a lot more then 26F, so not surprising about the V sag. In reality it's actual true operating discharge for a reasonable life is 2a per cell in a 5p config . My 26F pack used with a 17a controller with the Qxydrive kit...

    Took the plunge

    Every one is jumping on Suggy !!! Yet he hasn't actually told us if he bought the 250 or 350w version ?

    Which Conversion

    Don't be fooled that the bikes will ride easily without power when fitted as if you were riding an unpowered bike, to an extent they do in lower gears on level ground and once you get moving they aren't to bad and will depend on how fit or strong a peddler you are. They do freewheel but as...

    It's bloody new and broken!

    Something is draining the battery that's for sure, if it self drains when charged and left off the bike as well then likely the BMS is faulty and one or more bleed resistors are probably at fault.

    It's bloody new and broken!

    As an indication of range I have a pair of 5 y/o batteries which have lost capacity a bit, in summer months I can get 30- 35 miles in PAS2, if I up the level to PAS3 ( a bit more current ) range is compromise to about 20/22 miles in winter both are less as lithium doesn't fair as well when temps...

    It's bloody new and broken!

    It's not about laughing at the lack of miles/range you can manage but might be useful to see why you may not be getting much out of it. We already know two of the biggest factors. One is your physical weight and fitness level, the other is use of a higher assist level this demands and uses more...

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    The facts seem to be that the judiciary and law system have deemed the bike illegal and HE is in violation of motoring offences so the bike is not classed as a bicycle/pedelecs but an over powered one (moped class) capable of well above the legal cut off. I can't see that he is being done for...

    It's bloody new and broken!

    Charger and charging volatges are good, being new to lithium ebike batteries it is a learning curve so you have to manage the charge and discharge to get the best out of the battery. Once you have cycled the battery a few times you will know your range limits, a second battery to ride with may...

    Kalkhoff Groove G7 Display replacement, ideas please

    You need to show us a pic/make of controller used to try and suggest an lcd, though being Kalkhoff the Groove display can ony be had from them as a spare. SW might find a seller as he can be quite good at finding these closed system sellers. Otherwise you would have to go non oem and get a new...

    48V 2P BATTERY- any good

    3p of Sony vtc5 are a bit cheaper then 2p of Sam 40T, both come in at about or just under £160 for the cells. 42 Sony's needed for 3p and 28 Sam's for 2p. Weight wise the Sony's will be a tad lighter, both under 1.9kg. Sony will be about 280wh actual capacity and Sam about 300wh actual capacity...
