    Mini Disaster

    The mini disaster in part was probably due to the initial axle fitting. When fitting the axle needs to sit deep and snug enough to prevent play, also the lugs of the ARW's need to sit in nicely ( hence why drop outs need deepening). On top of this a TA is required. I 've not had a axle /dropout...

    teething problems with New E bike Kit

    lcd looks like branded KTlcd3 from YS Germany. The throttle parameter P4 may need changing as it is probably set for use only once pedalling has commenced, so lift the drive wheel activate the pas then the throttle should work. For active throttle all the time P4 needs setting to 0 and not 1...

    UK or China for E-bike Kit

    Had a look on AE 11.11 for deals on TSDZ, nothing special doing. The unit price may be reduced but by the time you add on the exaggerated delivery, cost wise no much difference then direct from PSW via China or Germany.

    Weather proofing - with silicone grease?

    I don't use any grease on contacts or the axle different if you ride a lot in deep standing water. Some advise/use grease on battery contacts if arcing is noticed or contact is lost. For the axle as long as the slot and cable exits down with a small drip loop water is unlikely to track into the...

    Elifeshop/YS kits?

    With decent steel dropouts as long as the axle and AR washer sit in the axle deep enough and is a snug tight fit then you can dispense with a TA, though if you are worried or concerned you can still fit one on the non drive side.

    Front wheel kit

    Know one will really know until real time feed back is given from users, if all the marketing garb is to be believed then it may be good. As mentioned previously it requires some one to bit the bullet to try it out and give valuable feed back. Claims of 20% hill climbing (1 in 5) is very...

    Front wheel kit

    None of us make that claim, we just input our knowledge on all subjects asked. We can't afford or even try every bit of kit out there, though as an accumulative group many chip in with kits bought and tried off the cuff and impart their knowledge gained through trial and error. Sometimes it...

    BMS Problem With ADAPTTO System

    There may lie the likely issue if the new cells were fully charged they will be far superior to the older cells and will hold all their charge whilst the older cells may not hold their charge so well (4.3v is to much). It is these new cells that are likely preventing the bms to allow charging...

    BMS Problem With ADAPTTO System

    Although you have managed to bring low cells up to voltage they may have bled back some, with the new cells what voltage did you charge them to ?

    BMS Problem With ADAPTTO System

    My bad as I didn't open the pic to see the 5 groups of sense wires, 72v is 20s ( in series) 55v is way way too low so ignore that. 69v means it's not charged the pack as a whole is sitting at 3.45v per cell average so sitting at lvc level. A charged pack should read 83 - 90v, 69v is why you are...
