    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I've actually decided not to mess around with the Vulcan-E. That spare connector (4 wires) on the controller is very likely not there for a throttle, but to access the controller for programing instead. Too risky. I have pulled the wallet and bought a conversion mid drive kit instead for an old...

    Tapered vs straight steerer?

    Thanks for the advice sjpt. I might actually do that and keep the Vulcan as a backup spare bike.

    Tapered vs straight steerer?

    Thank you for your responses. I am glad to see that converting my hybrid bike Subway 1 should be okay. No need to pull out my wallet for a new bike then.

    Tapered vs straight steerer?

    Hello, I need some help please on my lack of knowledge on mountain bikes. I have a Carrera Vulcan-E (nearly 2 years) and when the battery soon comes to the end of its lifespan, instead of buying a new battery, I am thinking of converting my old hybrid bike Carrera Subway 1 with the Bafang kit...

    ... odd occasions, but before I buy it I just want to check if the 500w rear hub can be used on the same controller as the 250w front hub and what is the approximate weight difference between the two hubs.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    The throttle that I have ordered has 4 wires (1 for the LCD). It's still a guess as to whether the black connector is actually there for a throttle, but if it's not I will experiment with splitting the white PAS connector to take both the throttle (without the LCD) and the PAS. But if that...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    I have a carrera vulcan-e and would like to add a thumb throttle to it. Just recently had the controller replaced and took a photo of it. The black connector (4 wires) actually has nothing attached to it. I am guessing here, but I think that connector is there for a throttle to be attached to...

    I would like to add a throttle to my ebike (PAS only).

    Hello I have an ebike, which I bought about 18 months ago. It comes with a restricted PAS system and no throttle. I am actually okay with its restricted speed 15.5 mph, but on the odd occasion when I am on private land I would also like to have a throttle on it without any pedalling needed. I...
