Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade the 36V/13Ah (468 kw/h ?) downtube battery that came with my Yose kit. The KT controller is dual voltage 36v/48v so I'd like to move up to 48v. Am I right in thinking this will increase the speed of the motor but make little difference to the torque? The...

Hi, I'm looking for a long extension cable for the motor or 2 separate cables (1 male / 1 female) ... I can find male motor cables but not the female ends from the controller. Spec : "Old style" connections (not waterproof connectors) Male from motor (2 required if possible) 1 length 70cm...

Hi folks, I'm trying to find why my older Dutch town bike (with slightly newer aftermarket kit) has died. It look like the fault is down the yellow phase transistor in the hub. I swapped the wiring around, the fault stayed with the transistor so it's not a wiring issue. I removed the yellow...

NSFW. Very disturbing video of an E-bike battery catching fire when a man is in a lift - things go from perfectly normal to inferno in seconds. https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1816723081483694297 No background about the type of battery or the manufacturer but it's another example that can be...

I often buy tools at their shops (decent mid-range quality at fair prices) but I've never seen any cycle items in there before. Time will tell what the quality and after sales support are like ... https://www.machinemart.co.uk/c/electric-bikes/

E-bike battery fire in NYC leaves 3 kids injured, including 2 critically: FDNY https://nypost.com/2023/02/05/e-bike-battery-fire-in-nyc-leaves-3-kids-injured-including-2-critically-fdny/ The battery was off the bike and left on charge overnight near the exit of the apartment. When it caught...

Hi folks, I have a couple of 36v batteries which are not performing well. I’ve seen a few threads on testing each cell group to see if it’s one cell or group that’s the problem. I’m happy stripping the battery and testing it. My question is how do I re-wrap it if / when I’ve fixed the problem...

Cargo is electric cars not E-bikes but it's a harsh example of what can go wrong when you have a lot of high capacity batteries in one place. Scary stuff https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/cargo-ship-carrying-cars-us-catches-fire-adrift-atlantic-crew-rcna16675 :oops:

Not electric but I'd love the chance to get something similar and add a kit to it :cool: The build looks very DIY'able, the reults are amazing from some simple engineering work.

The report describes it a an E-scooter with 2 people on it, I suspect it means E-moped not kids scooter type but it's unclear. Serious head injuries, so no helmets...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at options to change my 26" kit to 700C/28" and wonder if anyone knows of any suppliers who have sales on now? Any recommendations for a particular hub to look for? rpm? I weigh near 100kg, most use is on B-road and I'd prefer a high cruising speed to high torque. The...

More info https://easifitebikekit.co.uk/product/the-easi-fit-ebike-converter-kit/ Bluetooth controls. The ad shows a controller called BTC02, a quick search finds a demo - looks like you remove the display to charge it (theft?), kit includes display & throttle. No pedal or brake sensors that I...

Hi folks, I'm starting to get used to the KT setup I recently fitted and have noticed the throttle gives more assist than pedals. Settings are P4=0, C4=4 so the throttle should match pedal assist level, it's similar but throttle is maybe 20% stronger in all levels. It's very noticable when using...

I'm looking for suggestions as I have a very clean 29er mtb, and a complete 26" rear wheel kit (Yose). For now, I've removed the 29" wheels and have fitted the 26" rear hub motor and matching 26" front wheel. The 29" wheels have been kept so I can put the bike back to original in the future...

A new scheme will soon start a 2 year trial at Coventry: "Drivers who GIVE UP their cars will be offered £3,000 in 'credit' to spend on public transport, electric scooters and taxis under new green plans."...

Time for a new project, the main bits are a rather nice Scott 29er (immaculate!) + Yose/Lishui 350w 26” rear wheel kit + random KT parts collected from various places. Remove the 29er wheels, fit the Yose 26" rear wheel & matching front wheel, modify 180mm caliper to fit the 160mm disk. Let the...

Interesting new developments - wonder how long before they are available for bikes?

Hi folks, and welcome to a project I've just picked up to keep me occupied. It might get brought back to life as electric or non-electric, or could become a parts donor - a lot will depend what I find when I get started. First impressions : It's a Dutch town bike by Kemp Starley, high build...
