    Alternative to Ezee hub motor

    I have an Ezee rear motor, laced in a 26” rim, that’s been hanging in my garage for the last three years waiting for me to do something with it. If you’d be interested in it let me know and I’ll send you some details/photos.

    Hall sensor configuration possibly causing C3 error?

    Another option is to try walk mode by pressing and holding the down button. Motor should then rotate slowly if it’s working.

    battery for charging ebike batteries

    Have a look at this guy’s website and YouTube channel. He knows what he’s talking about and his reviews appear to be unbiased. https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/errolprowse/videos

    S-KU95 controller help

    One more thing you could try. There is a possibility that your controller is configured to meet the EU standards so that the throttle will only work when the pas is engaged. If your 810 display has a 6kph ‘walk’ button, with the motor reconnected and power switched on, try holding this down and...

    Looking for advice regarding motor and controller

    Most hub motors are designed to fit frames with drop-outs, so won’t fit a bike with the newer through axles, at least without heavy modification. I believe there are now motors available to fit these through axles, but I’ve no idea where to get them. Perhaps someone else can help...

If this is so it might cause you problems trying to fit a...

    PDQ wheelchair trike direct drive advice

    I think they fit direct drive motors as it permits a reverse gear. If you don’t need reverse drive a geared motor, as mentioned above, would be fine.

    Are lithium pencil batteries overpriced and overhyped?

    Excellent. I often buy those Duracell Industrial so will be interested in your findings.

    Are lithium pencil batteries overpriced and overhyped?

    The Consumers Association have tested various AA and AAA batteries and published fairly comprehensive reports in their Which magazine. You can read them online if you sign up but most libraries around here seem to keep copies in the reference section, which is where I read them. The latest...

    The end of BionX? - An interesting post on ES by Justin Lemire-Elmore

    There’s also the newer Heinzmann DD motor kits. I believe available from a few UK dealers, but rather pricey. http://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/electric-bikes/heinzmann-electric-bike-kits/

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    If, like most folders, this will be a one size fits all frame you need to offer as much adjustment for fit as possible. On the Birdy R&M offer a choice two angles plus adjustable height for the stem (handlepost), Brompton offer a choice of handlebars with different heights, and many cheaper...

    About to purchase......

    Have you set C1 correctly? C1=6 works for me but 5 or 7 should also work according to the manual.

    Nope, battery voltage was around 36.3V offload, 36V while testing.

    arrgh!! wrong motor - now what?

    That theory looks good for this motor, but not the Q100c which I also measured. The 328rpm 36V Q100c is more or less spot on spec, 327rpm at 36V with a KU65. I also measured the same Q100c with a S06S controller and it only manages 310rpm at 36V. This suggests that the controller is also a...

    arrgh!! wrong motor - now what?

    Last year I purchased from BMSB a Q128c 48V 328rpm motor intending to run it at 36V, which I was expecting to be 246rpm. It was rather faster than that and although I initially calculated it at over 300rpm I’ve now measured it and found it to be actually 286rpm at 36V with a KU65 controller...

    Freeview recorder box

    Yes, I do know it's made by Humax. It's still much better than my older PVR-9300T, and usually cheaper than the Humax branded ones.

    Freeview recorder box

    In April last year I bought a BT DTR-T2100 YouView box. I don’t have it connected to the internet and only use it as a PVR. It supports HD but not 4k. So far it’s been excellent, much better than my older Humax PVR. I believe these are supplied with some BT packages and there are many around on...
