    Help! Bafang Hub motor... user serviceable?

    As VFR has said a simple manual rotation of the wheel will tell you if there is a hub issue. Disconnect the controller/motor wire and rotate fwd's it should freewheel with no resistance, do the same backwards where you should feel light resistance and whirring of the gearing engaging. If you...

    Thinking of converting my commuting bike - questions and advice

    1. Not so. If one was to go 48v and add a 20/22a controller you should comfortably reach 20mph+ if you have the stamina. 2. Ideal RPM will be about 260 at 48v, a 36v one run at 48v would need to be 201. 3. The hub will most likely be very good like the others, the 15c is a heavier...

    Carrera Vulcan E Spokes

    If you have a good ear you can pluck the spokes to gauge tension and try tightening the duller sounding ones.

    TSDZ2 Cold morning start.

    52v hot off the charger is only warm for a 48v battery is should be 54.6v, the issue may be that the battery is unbalanced. 52v charge equates to 4v per string but one or more may be unbalanced if that is the case.

    We don't need tens of pictures with little or know explanation. Use this simple to use tutorial for phase/mosfet testing. https://www.ebikes.ca/documents/BlownMosfets.pdf And this one for Hall testing. https://www.ebikes.ca/documents/HallSensorTestingFinal.pdf When done post the results we...

    From what I see your tests mean very little as you are using the range for AC testing, the dial needs to be set for the DC testing to the left. Also I can't really tell which wires you are testing without an explanation.

    Replacement battery

    It's documented on ES that long term cycle testing at 1c by the forum testers shows that 3500mah cells perform worse then then lower mah cells in the long term. Another factor they use is is price per mah and consistently 29E and LG M29 are one of the best cells. It all boils down to current...

    On-One Mary Handlebars

    The Geoff's I find are brilliant, the most comfy bars I have used and great for long rides with no numbing or aching to my wrists or hands. You have to be aware of their width/sweep back as brake cables do need extending if you have little slack.

    Replacement battery

    You could use any battery type and mount it in the triangle, what you need to let us know is the controller current. If it is 15a max then the Sam 29E celled ones are very good and have good cycle life, I have in the past berated the 29E a little but then again I abused the battery by...

    With motors you aren't testing for terminal motor voltage but for hall sensor individual voltage (<5v) or wire resistance in the phase wiring to detect any issue. A motor can be tested using manual hand rotation to feel for resistance whether there may be an issue. As VFR has mentioned most hub...

    Rear view camera

    The wired Motorcycle video camera screen is terrible when it comes to sun/light glare so a mirror or look over the shoulder is a far better solution, the advantages are it's recording capabilities and the use of very tiny mounted front and rear camera which record footage. A 12v/3s battery is...
