Mostly we are but there is the odd troll amongst us who likes to spout nonsense. And by the way welcome for joining in.

It is the controller that is speed controlled and not the hub. A controller with P settings allows you to change between speed or current control. Speed control gives the same current in each assist with each assist having a max speed setting, on inclines you won't feel the torque/current...

My bad a I didn't go back to the start and re read the whole thread again and forgot you had mid drive.

The wider the BB the greater the increase in crank Q value, wait until you are able to and post some pics of the chain ring spacing as fitted on this side is abit more stealthier. Ideally for the LHS you need to mess around a little and fit the sensor, clamping it behind the BB retainer first...

Show a link to the battery yo have bought. The 9 fet controller is 14a continuous with max 25/26a current if required it is only available in PAS 5 or with throttle use, potentially you will see/get about 700w output from the hub. With the KT setting C5 you can reduce the current supplied by...

Thankyou, yes very poor reaction from all onlookers. I would have been straight out to check if everything was ok, even if some one looked uninjured. I now recall the first thing I said to the driver (he was in the car door ajar) as I picked my self off the road " Don't you dare driving off".

Even more so when some idiot T bones you, and causes component damage.

This also includes the likes of Bosch & Yamaha etc, as we have seen with bearing failures or water ingress.

Any wider axled BB will equally give more clearance on both sides of the bike, though some have taken a grinder to the BB axle. The metal PAS bracket is approx. 1.5mm in thickness, before you start guessing at what is needed you do need to check what clearance there is currently about 8mm...

Controller will be located in the front ( wiring exit end) of battery compartment on the rear. As to using 48v the Lishui controller I have is only 36v rated.

Thanks everyone for reading and your good wishes. The front wheel although buckled is rideable, I have had to order a new rim as just realised my centre disc hub is 32h and I have a spare 36h rim :rolleyes:. Temporary I have robbed the LH hollowtech crank off an unused fsmtb, it is black my...

He would have missed you SW, you would have been a blur as you passed by the T junction.

I had my first accident on the road tonight, fortunately I wasn't injured but my bike suffered some damage. I was T -boned literally at low speed at a T junction as I traversed the junction, as I was approaching the junction a suv pulled out as there was plenty of distance between him and me...

Brilliant Nichos and very well done Cycle Care High Wycombe for fault finding/repairing the bike for you. Out of interest what was the problem with the bike, mechanical or electrical ?

YEP it appears so, the Met did have a purge in July/early August after a woman was killed using one on the road. I read they stopped about 100 or so users but as far as I know they just got a warning/telling off, so not really going to deter many me thinks.

Yes, but they don't like you doing it because it invalidates the warranty which they provide and it is excellent should you have any issues.

Rear hub kits are usually always in stock without a battery so buy the kit and buy a battery separately. https://www.yosepower.com/en/category/Rear-motor-50.html

Dillenger tend to be expensive and the Samsung 26F battery is so so with mediocre cells. The Yose offering is good though the battery suggests it uses cheap China unbranded cells, you might be better looking at 48v Woosh kits which have better celled batteries utilising the Samsung 29E or...

Being SLA chem the hub I assume is the older brushed type so either needs replacement hub motor brushes or the controller is at fault. You can check by looking at the phase wires if there are two or four then it is a brushed motor, most only have a pair of brushes but some like my Heinzman on...

We would need to see a close up pic of the rear sprockets/wheel to see which type it is. The 9 fet controller (KT) is a good choice esp where amb temps can get warm, you may want to try and mount it so that it gets some airflow over it. Most basic lower level spec Shimano chain wheels are...
