    Carrera crossfire/vulcan tuning

    The 6 fet s/w KT's do suffer from getting HOT, my one and I know AK had a similar issue with thermal cut out's. Long term heat etc must have an effect on the component parts, esp on longer ride out's involving quite a bit of climbing. I did add an extra heatsink and a pair of 5v fans run off a...

    Need help choosing between these bikes

    Torque drive crank (or hub but not many) are ok if you have the fitness or stamina. If you get tired then your job is made that much harder esp if you like to ride longer distance of 60-100 miles.

    Kit that works with display removed or switched off?

    The main issue is without a display of some sort you loose the PAS levels which means you are stuck with one assist level which will likely be low power with no option to select more power if needed for inclines. To use with out a display means shorts wiring together correctly. As mentioned you...

    What happens when you overload phase wires?

    If you have LCD then it is digital so you need the same make of controller to be compatible, they need the same command protocols to interact and work properly. Another controller may work with your lcd though not all the functions will work or display correctly. The Brainpower may work as it...

    What happens when you overload phase wires?

    You can use any controller though you may have to buy a compatibale led/lcd for it to work correctly, your controller has no name so no idea of the maker. This seller has a controller and sw900. https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32958942935.html Or in USA...

    What happens when you overload phase wires?

    That is typically what happens when said bullets can't take the amperage, the plastic sheathing. shrouds scorch/burn and if you are unlucky can short out against each other.

    What happens when you overload phase wires?

    Can you show us a pic of your phase wires connections. Although I have not blown a controller yet, I have changed a few controller to motor connectors due to having the plastic sheathing on them suffer from heat and deforming in the past. Most bullets don't handle the amperage heat very well...

    What happens when you overload phase wires?

    Sounds like you may have blown mosfets in the controller, the melted plastic smell is often the phase bullets/connectors getting to hot and the cable or bullet sheathing scorching. If any of the phase wiring shorts out, zap the mosfets get it in the neck and blow. With the phase it is best to...

    Short circuit between phase wires? Fix?

    I would say you have severe burn out of the phase wiring, it is all blackened, the copper windings you can see appear to be ok. I think you will have to replace the motor wire complete to see if the motor will work again, the tricky bit is getting the new wire through the axle. Lubing the wire...

    Short circuit between phase wires? Fix?

    You won't know until you open the motor then to have a look, whether you have burn/ damage to phase connection or the windings.

    Is that in PAS 5 ? Also motor winding will dictate how well it will pull.

    Short circuit between phase wires? Fix?

    If the motor doesn't spin by hand with controller connected then it usually means controller fets are smoked, however if you disconnect the controller and it still doesn't spin by hand then you likely have damage to the motor phase wiring or the motor it self. Do you have motor halls ...

    In that case then you need a cadence sensoe drive bike either hub or crank motor which is the group that VFR spoke of all of Woosh bikes are cadence drive and possibly one with a throttle for when you get to tired. Other drive type is a torque sensor drive and multiplies the effort you can put...

    How to squeeze the most of the battery?

    Try and work out your typical wh/m rate to give you an idea of range. This week managed 49.5 miles with over 1100m of ascent riding out from West Sx to East Sx/Kent Boarders on 417wh, this equated to 8.43wh/m my best usage of recent. Use no assist on level terrain and downhill, saving assist...
