    Sunstar s03 kit colour code for battery wires

    Hi all, I've been away for a while but now trying to get back into electric bikes again. Nice to see the same people still on here. I have bought a Sunstar S03 24v kit without a battery as I wanted to make up my own but I can't decide where to connect the positive and the negative. On the motor...

    Broken drop-outs - lesson to all, fit a torque arm.

    Well it finally happened, my dropouts split after 2 years of ezee motor pleasure. Maybe that torque arm I always meant to fit was a good idea after all! But luckily it happened as I pulled away from stanstill so didn't hurt myself. Down side is that it was 8 miles from home so had to walk and...

    Tongxin Goldant motor rpm for racing bike (700) wheel?

    Any suggestions from those in the know about what is the best rpm motor to get for fitting into a race bike wheel? I would normally go for the highest is best approach but I suspect that as this is a low power system that it might lack some torque. Does anyone know what Cytronex would recommend...

    Anyone advise on a crank drive kit?

    Apologies for asking again but technology moves on so I thought I would. There used to be the Sunstar S02 kit but it was suggested that it was a bit feeble and actually I couldn't get hold of it anyway, also there's the kit that drives the chain but it's a bit noisy and crude but are there any...

    My longest ride on my ebike

    On the weekend I managed a trip of 184 miles. Saturday was 94 miles and Sunday was 90 miles. 6 hours each way on my recumbent trike. 14Wh/mile average (I think) with a 19mph average speed. It was fun but oh so long and my knees hurt so I was putting in some effort. It just shows what can be done...

    My first impressions of ezee v's Bionx

    My friend recently got a Bionx kit and fitted it to his trike and I have an ezee kit fitted to my trike so I thought a comparison was in order. They are very different beasts so this may help someone choose their style. Having used the ezee for years I had got used to the power on demand...

    Hi all, Can someone help me decifer the serial number on an eZee battery and give advice on the range I might expect to get and how it diminishes with age if unused? It is a Li+ Polymer serial number 200810143. Is it as simple as 2008? I've checked on the forum and it appears that 20 miles...

    Can anyone advise the best practice for wiring lengths? I have an eZee hub and ecrazyman 30A 48V controller fitted to my mountain bike. I have the battery on a rear rack and have a choice of putting the controller near the hub (front of frame) or on the rack next to the battery. Which is...

    Derestricting the eZee motor/controller for more speed?

    Hi all, got my eZee kit working in the end (50cycles didn't help but an electrical engineer at work found the fault). I can usually cycle at 18 to 20mph to work (flat) and so I need a higher assistance speed (after all it is off-road). I find it's a bit slow at 15mph and I read on the web that...

    ezee wiring and pedal sensor

    Please can anyone help? Last year I bought some left over ezee bits from 50cycles which included a wheel, controller and wiring. Today I decided that I would see if I could get it to work but ran into a problem. I connected the throttle (3 pin plug), battery and the wheel (3 wires and a 5 pin...
