    Yose 350 rear hub kit - onto Spanish mtb by Mondraker

    Just a quick update as today marked 500kms (in just over 3 weeks), the bike is very smooth but some of the system configuration is not the way I’d like it. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/lishui-controller-and-lcd-vs-kt-controller-and-lcd.36444/ The good news is I’ve found a few new...

    Help! Lishui controller and LCD vs KT controller and LCD

    For info, speed cutoff on the Lishui controller varies depending on battery charge, I tested using the throttle while the rear wheel was suspended from the ceiling. Results below. Assist level - km/h range (low charge 35.3v - high charge 41.6v) #1 14-17 km/h #2 20-24 #3 24-29 #4 27-32 #5 32-38...

    Help! Lishui controller and LCD vs KT controller and LCD

    Some thoughts after my first 500km using a Lishui controller (supplied as part of a 350W kit by Yose), as it makes sense to keep all Lishui / KT comparisons in one place. There's no need for a key to turn the bike on, anyone can use the on/off button when the bike is parked. Not ideal. Once...

    Halfords/Spare Batteries.

    Hi, if the battery has a part number or similar on it, maybe share it here and somebody might be able to suggest where to get a replacement? Try a different Halfords branch? I was curious to know if the Halfords fork problems I'd seen photos of were unusual. Sadly they're not, for many other...

    E-Scooter trials.

    Some background from Europe to compare with UK. I'm in Portugal for the next few months and have been trying to find out what's legal here regarding e-bikes & e-scooters. Local bike shops only sell 250w assembled e-bikes. Hire places only have 500w (illegal?) e-bikes to rent. No need for...

    Help! Double kickstand help

    Hi, on motorcycles I use the centre-stand when I need the bike stable. If you search for bicycle-centre-stand or bicycle-bipod-stand you might find something with a fitting to suit your bike. (or maybe somebody with more experience of bikes like yours can have a look and offer advice) Maybe...

    The tale of a £100 second hand electric bike.

    Cheap bikes are great fun, I'm doing something similar with a €100 (approx £90) Dutch city bike that's been unused for years. I've found the 24v battery is getting slightly better every time I charge it so it gets charged one day then connected to 2x12v car lights the next day to flatten it. It...

    Halfords/Spare Batteries.

    Halford (Halfrauds?) are well known to classic car owners. Opening hours are great but staff knowledge / attitude /CS is often terrible. Servicing my car, I took the "spin-on" oil filter to them and asked for a new one. They insisted I give them my registration number then refused to sell me...

    Bewildered!

    I spent most of last year exploring north Devon coast on a mountain bike I've had for near 20 years. Lovely area but some of the hills are savage - I ended up using gears I'd never needed before on the bike ! Suggest you look for something designed for hills not for speed. How heavy are you both...

    Yose power, 700c wheel, rear or front question?

    Hi, I've just fitted a 350w/36v/12Ah yose rear kit (my first ebike!) and am quickly getting used to it. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-350-rear-hub-kit-onto-spanish-mtb-by-mondraker.37899/#post-562645 Zoom in on the display in first photo - the layout and "Y02" logo identifies...

    New technology - solid state batteries

    Mobile phones came into general use 20 years ago, the first 15 years had developing technology and incompatible connector types. The technology is more mature now, and for the last 5 years phones (except apple) have all connected using a standard USB cable. E-bikes are becoming more mainstream...

    New technology - solid state batteries

    Lithium Ion Titanate ? Search for "LTO battery" to see more about the new technology that might be worth watching in future. Good - Over 20,000 charge cycles, operating temp from -40 degrees, max charge rate 10c, super safe ( no fire risk even when punctured), very flat discharge rate. Poor -...

    Hi Jasper and welcome, there is a lot of variety here so I'm sure you will find some interesting discussions. Programming motor controllers is something I know very little about but am trying to learn. I have a C500 lcd display made by Lishui, manual...

    Kemp Starley Dutch Town Bike - out of hibernation.

    Things are moving forward as I've just found a place selling off new forks at bargain prices. Order has been placed, I'm happy. The next priority is to fix the failed hall sensor (and the others), I'm looking for a UK supplier and I've seen a few posts saying "SS41F" is fairly safe option. I...

    general charging + solar panel on a converted E bike (how?)

    Hi, not sure how to do links on here, but if you put solar into the search bar at the top of the page there have been a few discussions in the past. Its not something I know much about but I'd expect a system small enough to be portable won't be powerful enough. Neither type will be cheap (more...

    Kemp Starley Dutch Town Bike - out of hibernation.

    ^ thanks @vfr400 - I had already looked at those kits and was wondering if I could run my 24v hub at 36v. Good to have it confirmed ! I like the idea but its a fun project being done on a tight budget, I'll see if I can find a cheap used 36v battery before deciding.
