    Battery ageing question.

    38v is low so there is an issue with the battery, a cell group/s may have drained a bit low and now won't balance though 6v is a very large discrepancy Ageing shouldn't be an issue on a 18 mth old battery.

    Battery not charging.

    All you can do without opening the battery is confirm voltages with a meter. 1. Charger only voltage when plugged in to the wall, a 48v one should read 54.6v on the out put. If zero check wall socket or an internal fuse or if it is less then 54.6 then the voltage regulator is at fault or...

    1000 miles done on Crossfuse E

    Halfords certainly know how to maintain your bike at your cost. A colleague at work asked me to look at his little lads bike as Halfrauds wanted over £100 + parts to service his bike, I duely serviced/ adjusted it in about 1 3/4 hrs with no new parts needed except a smearing of grease on the...

    Help! Numb Hands

    If I wanted 620mm I would have simply bought the Mary's rather then do a cut and shut, 720mm with GP2's are perfick for me.

    Help! Bosch error code 530 sudden power shutdowns

    I don't think SW knows what slow is, from what we have seen he rides as if he's nicked the bike.

    Help! Numb Hands

    The Geoff's I'm finding are brilliant and have them on two of my 700c bikes, on the tourer 700c bike I was getting numb thumbs (both hands ) and esp at the base of them in the hand and an aching right wrist (mostly due to breaking the Ulna about 10 years ago). The Geoff's have alleviated all...

    Front light options...

    For lighting you only need to tap in to the battery/controller v+ & v-, get a lamp that is multi voltage 5 - 60 odd volts that has an internal voltage regulator. Add a switch and a fuse on the V+ line job done. I did it with my Woosh Lishui controller with the Big Bear kit using 20/22awg...

    Help please( reversed polarity damage)

    I see the Cap at C12 has been removed also just visible in you pic, I assume the top exploded as well ? The resistor you may have to take punt on it and look at any near the other Caps like C11, If the Cap is of the same value then the adjacent resistor/s may be of the same value as your blown...

    I'm with vfr and don't bother with a chain gauge, and keep just keep an eye on the chain lubing. Once or twice a year I sometimes use a foot ruler and measure for strectch, but generally only change if it starts skipping or breaks. Out on a run I always carry a spare chain, splitter and a few...

    10s4p welding layout

    Paint is a bit crude, though you get the idea. Another interconnection option. With op's layout series connection is never going to be perfect. Series current flow would be better if the cell groups #1 - #9 was a one piece nickel shaped cut out for each 8 cells (depicted by light beige colour).

    Sqeaking brakes

    I use basic Shimano twin piston calliper brakes on all my bikes M395/446 type lever using B01S pads, pad wise I can use any type with icetech rotors. The Swizzbee has a rear Magura HS33 which is very good and a hydraulic rim model.

    Cargo Ebike Conversion for a Cycling Plumber

    Ideally you need a different bike altogether. A proper cargo bike( the step thru frame type) with the large front box and possibilty of a using a trailer as well, the front box could then support advertising on three of it's faces. If intent on using your existing bike then definitely look at a...

    anyone seen a bike like this

    The bike like ny Swizzbee in the avatar is old hat and dates back likely about 12 years or so, the tech compared with today is old but they do retain their quirkiness or charm/appeal. SLA, NiCad & nimh are heavy and can't match the power & capacity of modern lithium, also in the case of the...

    Newbie - buying an E Bike from Europe.

    BMS discharge mosfets or controller mosfets probably got to hot so thermal shut down until they cool a bit.
