    bike keeps cutting out

    This is a where do you start game could be anything so you need to be methodical and check every thing starting with battery, I assume you have a multimeter . Always start with the main source the battery. Are the batteries home made or after market, could be voltage sag/collapse if you have...

    Sanyo NCR vs Samsung 29E

    GA can handle 12a spikes despite it's 10a rating. Agree with Ford min 5p for BBSHD and forget 29e they will be pants. GA would be good more so in 6P, otherwise 30q x 5p or even better cells are Sony VTC6.

    Cyclone 500W, what battery in UK?

    Firstly decide where the controller will be sited/contained, don't rush any job or try any short cuts. Then go about sorting the PHASE wires, the pic/link in #19 shows motor orientation and wire/colour sequence follow that to start with. Solder measure/cut wires and allow 3 - 6" of wire length...

    KT LCD 3 throttle settings

    The parameter settings aren't as sophisticated as the Bafang BBS where you can plug it in to PC to change software settings. You can reduce current using C5 which will affect torque and all pas modes as well as throttle. The throttle you get used to but I now only use throttle after pedal...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    It would be nice if Yose just sold the hub as a stand alone item then you could marry it up with 17 or 20a controller and 48v where it really excels and comes to life. Today a 67mile ride along North Downs and Downs Link, pas 5 seeing 650w of power and easy peasy up any steeper inclines. Pas 1...

    The Brighton & Hove scheme appears to be working well not seen any abandoned or burnt bikes might be a better class of citizen ;).

    Wisper 905se Nearly a Year and a 1000miles Review.

    Doesn't sound much different to my Yose hub in pas 5 the front can be very light so power needs to applied carefully (not surprising with 650+w at the wheel).

    Hi

    Welcome a board Dave, 5 miles is nothing so you should get some good use out of it and you will probably will end up riding it East and West along the sea front as well. Let us know how it goes as those of us who ride in the area know how hilly and steep some of the streets are.

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    The Bosch drive would have been a better more reliable bet.

    Hello everyone

    It's not that it's cheap just that the HESC system is flawed. Woosh/Kudos & Wisper have bike around the same price range with better reliable electronics.

    Hello everyone

    Hello & welcome to the forum Moax. Just one bit of advice the hub drive Carrera's with the Suntour HESC system have had power issues which Halfrauds are aware of, if yours does develop an issue take it straight back for a refund and get a more reliable ride. Members have had parts replaced to no...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB or Wisper 905 torque mk2.

    Wisper use the high torque Akiema hub, the Q128c is a copy or a rebranded Akiema. The torque marque bikes have a dual sensor drive and have cadence sensor mode F on the handle bar controller, how much power it provides in this mode only David from Wisper or another user can tell us. Oxygen uses...

    Lithium batteries

    If the battery is balanced and reads 41v or less then the cells will have lost capacity and be past it's sell by date. Though as flecc has mentioned it will still have use as a spare range extender/get me home type of battery, though it will most likely not take to much of a load for the voltage...

    Lithium batteries

    No not necessarily sometimes they can be manually recovered to the level of the others but require the battery to be opened, then the battery when charged needs to be left to sit for 24/48hrs and then rechecked. A poor failing cell string might see voltage bleed off to a lower level or when...

    Questions I have about a Cyclotricity conversion kit

    To guarantee it will all work best to buy from same place as software /programming may differ even if same components are bought elsewhere. We know for instance their KT controller has different software to other KT controllers esp for the illegal dual speed kits.

    Kalkoff Integrale 8 Belt ,Grey,Crossbar,50cm

    With lithium it is an age thing rather then miles covered that said best thing is to take it to a dealer who can give you a print put of a battery condition to help with the sale. Other major issue to consider is warranty on a 3 yr old bike esp one with the dreaded Impulse drive, if it can't be...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB or Wisper 905 torque mk2.

    The Wisper is the better built and very sturdy, they have a very good rep in the ebike world esp on here. Batteries tend to have more capacity then the Oxygen, both are different and as mentioned are for slightly different terrain. If possible try a test ride on both to see which you are happier...

    Carrera Crosspath e

    All the Carrera bikes with hub drive use the Suntour Hesc system which is pants reliability wise. If buying from Halfrauds buy the Bosch drive offerings otherwise offerings from Oxygen, Wisper and Woosh are highly recommended not least for good price bikes but also the top notch CS you will...
