    Parallel batteries (again!)

    I think I have read every post in every forum about running a second battery in parallel, and I’ve asked a few questions on here too, but I’m about to order parts and I don’t want to get it wrong, so cold someone check over my plans for me? I was bought a second- hand Orbea Gain. (Yeah, I’m a...

    Two batteries, one motor

    So, I tried asking about how I could get a secondary battery to act with the internal battery of my second hand Orbea to work to extend the crappy range, and the guys at ebike batteries suggested two relays and a three way switch, 1, off, 2. Has anyone done this? It sounds supremely simple and...

    Second/backup battery magic

    I’ve been lucky enough to have been bought a second-hand Orbea ebike after my Halfords/Yose conversion kit ebike suffered a terminal frame fracture. I’m finding out that the Yose system is smoother, more powerful, needs less fiddling from the rider and has twice the battery capacity than the...

    Cracked Ali frame

    It’s a very sad day. My beloved 1997 Carrera Vanquish has a big crack in the frame, and knowledgeable TIG welders have said a fix is one of their trickiest tasks due to the required heat treatment/curing to make a strong weld. They have suggested it is time to retire the old girl. The problem...

    Spare parts...

    Good afternoon all. I am abso-flippin-lutely loving my Yose rear hub kit after just under a year’s use. I’ve done 8,500kms, trying to get myself fit again after cancer, and most of those kms were done with a silly grin on my face. I’m addicted. There have been some minor niggles which I’ve...

    Questions questions

    Like a bad penny, I‘m on here again. Please know that I try to search this site before asking anything! After removing my rear hub motor wheel, I’ve noticed that on reassembly, the tyre fouls the non-drive chain stay, unless I back the axle that side a few mm out of the hanger and tighten things...

    Spreading rear stays for hub motor

    I fitted my Yose rear hub on my ally frame by grabbing the stays and just forcing them far enough apart to squeeze the wheel in. Whether it’s because I’d had my third Weetabix that day I don’t know, but since then, I’ve not been able to get that wheel out. I’ve got good at fixing punctures...

    Alternatives to flipping PAS disc?

    Morning all. I recently had the bottom bracket replaced, but the shop just handed me the PAS disc with a shrug and told me i doesn’t fit any more, as they had fitted a modern replacement. There’s a long story there but what I’ve done is carefully shape the disc to fit to the drive side and glue...

    How low can you go? Battery voltage question...

    Hello. I’m merrily using my 36v Yose kit daily on some longish rides, but try to get home with the battery indicator on 2 bars (from 6 max) and voltage reading 36.1v or so. My question is, how much lower could I go on the voltage without the motor cutting out? As I’m beginning to realise, my...

    What does this show? LCD display question

    I got my kit days after the lockdown (in Spain) and I’ve only gone on 2 short shopping trips (carrying that much booze in a rucksack is no joke, believe me!). This ‘power meter’ goes up to full when I first accelerate but goes down to 0 when I get up to speed. I’m assuming this is the power...

    Yosepower hub nut

    Afternoon folks. Just trying to fit my cassette onto this Yosepower rear hub and am having a senior moment. How do I undo this nut when the cable enters at the side? Concerned I will be twisting the cable...obviously it looks nothing like the manual, where the cable exits the centre of the hub...
