Thank you. Good tip, will do

Thank you. It's been pretty wet so that might be it.. I'll check. Alex

Just a quickie. Took the e-mtb up to the local trail, Nant yr Arian. First time I turned it on error code 1. Turned it off and on a couple of times then rode off. 10 mile no problems. Looked it up in the book when I got home it says it means throttle error. I didn't actually fit the throttle...

It was the controller that needed an upgrade. If you look in my profile you'll see the thread... Bought the upgrade from China. Link is also in the thread . I think the thread is two bikes one sluggish or something similar :) Alex

I got that too. Changed the controller on advise from here, and it's a really good kit. The Elfie one is much the same. I got both. Alex

I don't expect mudguards to break tbh. And if they do at £8 who cares? I do plenty of rough and wet stuff. The only reason to dislike mud guards really is they look ugly. . That's it really. And if you don't want to get soaked you don't have much option.? Alex

Zefal Classic Mountain Bike Mudguard Set for 26" On tredz they are £8.50. V plasticky but they work :)

I hate the look of mudguards on a bike but it's starting to get really mucky and I'm getting fed of coming home looking like I've been sprayed with mud. Tredz had these for £8 so thought I'd give them a go. Very plasticky but I didn't get covered so I guess they'll be staying on till spring :)

Thanks all. The e bike is great for getting to quiet places and doing my filming. The bike is an old Scott I picked up for around £100 then I added a 350w rear hub. I started off with a bottle battery which was good but riding it was too much fun so I have upgraded to an eclipse 17ah battery. I...

Bit of a weird thread to start I know but I thought it might be of interest. I live in mid Wales and have spent years looking for a possibly extinct (in Wales) pine marten. That's kind of how I ended on this forum and also how come I've now done hundreds of miles on my DIY hub conversion MTB. So...

If it'll be quieter then hopefully that is he difference between that and my bike :) thanks for the info Alex

cool. there's also a 350w one there which is only 17a. That might be a bit less likely to damage the motor.?

brilliant thanks . Do you think that is what makes my other noticeably nicer? It'll be cheap to find out.. Alex

mmm. I think I checked mine but I'm not sure about the one on the ebc kit. Unless anyone knows if its sine or not? If I google image search the controller it says Contrôleur 15A 250W Référence KT36ZWSR Alex ah. and an old panda bikes page (cached) says Model no.KT36ZWSR-FZ19NMax Voltage50VMin...

I checked "mine" and it is. Didn't check the other but it looks the same... Alex

You'll like the kit. Battery is not so different as I've swapped them around. There are quite a few subtle differences that make the ysbattery one better. I also swapped battery to a 17ah one which improved it again. Although that one is mostly in my head, knowing I can go further Alex

I've converted two mtb now, one for me and one for the other half. I must be misunderstanding something because they perform in a way I wouldn't expect from what I've been trying to learn on here. Hers is a ebc kit fitted to a gt mtb. Their info says it is a 36v low rpm motor...

I have two hills by me that read 20% on Strava. I think they are as well because they're not even comfortable to walk up. My hub motor on 5 makes them doable, but I'm pretty sure it can't be helping they're longevity. I'm still unsure whether that steep is best, pushing, riding, or what. If I...

Thank you. Alex

Thanks. Is 7a current the norm as well? Alex
