    Yose Power kits and LISHUI controllers.

    Well, i just chopped the plug off and extended my battery wires from a new Hailong holder (as one turns up whether you want it or not when you buy a battery) and the new contoller is in the bag that comes with the Yosepower kit- so my 2 bikes now look the same- but yet to take it out as its been...

    Yose Power kits and LISHUI controllers.

    Hi- I’ve built an ebike from a kit about 12 years ago- decent sized from hub and 24v originally, but I took it up to 36v and it had more power and was very useable- I’ve no idea what make the hub is and I’ve never been able to open it as I’ve not got a large enough c-spanner. The controller was...

    Hydraulic brake upgrade. But magnets no workie..?

    By out of sequence, I see what you meant. I trusted the colour discipline would have been adhered to, but I was wrong- the originals switch black white, but the reed/magnets switched black red... All working now.

    Hydraulic brake upgrade. But magnets no workie..?

    I've cut them off and re-joined, colour for colour- the switches came with male plugs- what I needed was female sockets, so I cut them off my old leavers and soldered them onto the new ones in place of what they came with. So, I could just plug them into the loom.

    Hydraulic brake upgrade. But magnets no workie..?

    Ive got a Yose Power kit that I fitted a year ago and its been trouble free except the pedal sensors not keen on water. Ive done 1600 miles on it since last August and highly recommend the kit as its easy to fit (front wheel version) Well made and the battery has only lost a vew 'volts'...

    Yose kit on road bikes

    ive got one of their kits and not had too many woes. Good luck and enjoy the ride. I dont know how far 40km is in english, but on a 250w/36v- it might be ambitious - so dont keep it on 5- stay on 3 for the PAS.

    SW900 PO7 Magnets

    Ha! This reminds me of Plumbers, years ago. When it was pipes, water and gas-they were happy. When pumps, programmers, 3rd wires and room-stats became the norm- many were buggered. They had learned their craft for years the same old way- then things started to get a bit technical. What its like...

    Yosepower 250w 36v front hub

    Thanks-you would think so, wouldn't you. It takes about 3 miles to start making a noise and today, its not as pronounced as it was-but a number of factors-1. Ive had the wheel off and apart. 2. it's wet.Muddy. I did my usual 12 miles late this afternoon-lovely sky but getting cold-10 degrees...

    Yosepower 250w 36v front hub

    Thanks, tried spokes and Ive had the disc calliper off and on a number of times, added, subtracted spacers.washers. . Its a replacement aftermarket, as I couldnt get a Zoom direct replacement. I cant remember if the noise was there before I replaced it, because it was a case of the brake simply...

    Yosepower 250w 36v front hub

    Hi all- i decided to do some hub maintenance on one of my bikes that makes a bit of a squeeking noise , which Ive long suspected is the disc, but Ive never really nailed it. I bought and fitted this kit in July- to an unused ally-framed MTB. For anyone whos not seen these kits, they are basic...

    Yose 350 rear hub kit - onto Spanish mtb by Mondraker

    The thread seems to bounce around a bit, or maybe It my lack of attention to reading all the posts, which go back a few years. I have a front wheel conversion from Yosepower which was bought on the cheap in AUGUST 20 just to convert a spare ally MTB I had, which had a decent spec when I bought...

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    I remplaced the chainwheel on my home-brew Stealth which id fitted a Legal 250w front wheel set-up from YosePower and had notice its not as 'fast' top end as my other bike. not that its a vast difference , but my old british Eagle MTB rides much faster than the lighter all ally Stealth. I went...

    Silly mistake.

    It only takes a lapse of concentration- which we are all capable of- Well, I am! Had a battery-fire about 7 years ago- its in my old posts- Nothing I did wrong- but nearly burnt my garage down. I've also had a duff Frog battery arrive and repaired it- but it was like diffusing a bomb (again, on...

    Conversion kit opinions

    I'm a batfastard and must weigh well over 16 stone. I've got a 250w front hub running at 36v frog battery. I've got a e-crazy man (eBay) controller and I run 22mph on the flat, no kidding, and easy up hills. Being rotund, I'm always pedalling, nut with no sweat. I love my first e-kit and 16...

    two wheel drive

    Thanks- all understood! Didn't think the shut wire would add so much resistance. My 36v set up does 31mph off load- the battery charges to 40v initially- so being able to do a constant 18 up gradients and an easy 25 on the flat means that ill gain little at the expense of a flat battery...

    Frog Battery- 36v..anyone??

    The good news on this is that I was awarded a FULL REFUND and kept the battery and post. I furnished Ebay with the evidence that it is a breach of Regulation to ship a battery unprotected and a further Breach if on receipt, you try and return it! Its all laid out very clearly in the IAM...

    Frog Battery- 36v..anyone??

    After a week of checking and re-wiring- I have repaired the damaged frog battery that arrived broken from China. It is ridiculous that goods can be traded like this- there were breaks in tabs between cells and shorts on BMS wiring- the whole thing looked a complete mess. Given Id suffered a fire...
