Is there a recommended UK supplier of the uncased type eBike battery, i.e just covered in heat shrink, 36V 5Ahr to 10Ahr ? Plenty of suppliers out in the far East but the capacities quoted are just plain silly, you can apparently get a 36V 20Ahr for £40 ! So a supplier that can be trusted is...

20mph Limit for Wales "Ministers say a 20mph speed limit will lower road collisions and traffic noise and encourage people to walk and cycle."

I can see there are two basic types of connectors used on controllers and eBike wiring in general. There is the JST/SM crimp style and the waterproof HiGo\Julet style. I have noticed things like PAS, displays and brake sensors may use male or female connectors. I had to build a converter to...

Does anyone make a controller that accepts or has a 5 way selector switch for the PAS level ? Sure you can press the up and down buttons on a standard setup, but something like a 5 way slide switch on the controller or next to the gear switch would be more natural to use. Its for a KT...
