    KT-LCD3 Info 3 Error

    Hi Hadn't used my bike for a while (Q128c with 48v battery and PSWPower Controller) so took it for a quick spin earlier. All was fine - only went 200m up the road and back - stopped to talk to a friend and as soon as I set off again, I got an Info 3 error and no power. Any ideas please? Am...

    Q128C, PSW controller and throttle problem

    Hi I've kind of mentioned this before but have got to the stage where it repeats now. So, when all plugged in and working - Q128C, PSW Power 20a controller and 48v 14.5ah, I can lift the back wheel and it spins up fine. But when I'm riding along and go to give it some throttle (pedal assist...

    Cycle Analyst V3 and PSWPower Controller

    Hi One of the main frustrations I have is not knowing what 'range' I have left in the 'tank'. The battery symbol on the LCD-3 is only obviously a rough guide and even then doesn't really represent a distance - guesstimate or not. So does anyone know if the Cycle Analyst does an effective job...

    Q128C seems very slow - normal or not?

    Hi It's been a bit of a marathon but I've finally got the 201 36v Q128C fitted to my MTB - paired with PSWPowers 20s controller and a 48v 14.5ah battery from Jimmy at Insat. I've gone to spin it up today and take it for its first test run and I have to say - it feels pretty gutless for want of...

    V quick question. The thumb throttle. Does this look like a left hand one fitted upside down and on the wrong side? Thanks

    Best motor for a 20 inch wheel and spoke advice pls

    Hi A friend is converting a bike and it has a 20 inch rear wheel with 175mm dropouts. Is there a motor anybody can recommend that might fit given the small diameter yet wide width of wheel (it's a beach cruiser). Preferably it'll be over 500w as the bike is a bit of lump to shift. We've...

    Battery with built in controller - good or bad.

    Hi I see BMS have this - a decent Panasonic cells battery with a built in 20a sine wave controller - plus it comes with an LCD3, PAS etc etc. https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-battery/680-48v116ah-bottle-09-panasonic-battery-pack-battery.html Want to use this with a Q128C 36v 201RPM motor. Any...

    £500 donor bike - Q128C motor - what do you pick?

    Hi In the process of re-visiting an old project to convert my Marin 27.5+ MTB. For various reasons - there have been several false starts and there are still compromises now. So just as an alternative angle before I jump one way or another - if you were going for a rear hub drive - the use...

    Cyclotricity 1000w cruiser conversion

    Just thought I'd give some feedback on my Cyclotricity 1000w conversion. Obviously not your normal bike here, but my tribute to the various WWII BSA's, Nortons, James etc. Obviously weighs a few pounds but I paired the motor with a 48v 14.5ah (Panasonic 18650 cells) from Jimmy at...

    Lightest 250w rear hub

    After hitting quite a few issues with converting one bike (27.5+ post in this forum), I'm now looking to do a rear conversion on one of my custom cruisers (google Ruff cycles for the sort of thing). Obviously they weigh more than a regular steel bike so is there a goto rear drive if weight is a...

    27.5+ Conversion

    Hi all I've recently bought Marin's new 27.5+ bike with a view at some point to convert it. http://www.marinbikes.com/gb/bikes/description/2016-pine-mountain-1 Being a newbie, I'm just trying to unravel what is and what isn't feasible. I'll be riding it on and off road so will need to be...
