Thanks for the info but that's one petition I'll not be signing. I have family overseas where they have the same "If a car hits a cyclist - the car driver is presumed guilty" laws. It makes driving there very stressful as cyclists cross junctions without looking; they know if a car hits them...

If you explain what the project is for you might get some more tailored suggestions : What are you moving? How far from the bottom of the incline to the top? What about steering? How will you get it back down the hill? Use an electric wheelchair / mobility scooter as a base for the project? Use...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade the 36V/13Ah (468 kw/h ?) downtube battery that came with my Yose kit. The KT controller is dual voltage 36v/48v so I'd like to move up to 48v. Am I right in thinking this will increase the speed of the motor but make little difference to the torque? The...

Try Shipley, you advertise the job there (what, where from / where to) and couriers give you their best price. https://www.shiply.com/ It costs you nothing to advertise... Check the couriers feedback before booking, a friend often uses the site to move cars - most jobs go well, some don't.

Things are now working after fitting a new hall sensor - many thanks to everyone who offered advice :) I ordered a pack of new hall sensors over the holidays and made time today to replace the failed one in the hub, the bike is now back in use. Next on my to-do list is to replace the damaged...

Just to wrap this up, I ordered the kit of connectors and a couple of extension cables while I was away at Christmas, just got back home and am happy to report that the kit is exactly what I needed. Many thanks to @Nealh and @saneagle :)

Perfect, I'm happy to buy a box of the connectors but didn't know what they were called so couldn't find them. I'd spent a while looking before I asked but was getting nowhere. A couple of cables have now been ordered and a box of connectors, all is good. Many thanks for the help. @saneagle...

Hi. Just had another look on Ebay - maybe I'm using the wrong search words but I can't find any cables with a female end to match the male in the photo above (lots of female Juliet connectors but that's not what I need). Can anyone give me a link to an extension cable male "square" end (see...

Update on this. I replaced the faulty hall with one scavenged from the original scrap hub and it worked ! The other 2 halls in the original hub are no use as they were scrap before I got the bike.. A shame things moved slightly soon afterwards and the new hall shorted against the hub body. At...

Hi, I'm looking for a long extension cable for the motor or 2 separate cables (1 male / 1 female) ... I can find male motor cables but not the female ends from the controller. Spec : "Old style" connections (not waterproof connectors) Male from motor (2 required if possible) 1 length 70cm...

Apologies for the confusion, yes the problem is the hall sensor in the wheel - I couldn't remember the proper name so was calling it a transistor. Oops. Pinouts match between halls on the scrap and new hubs, I've pulled one out of the scrap hub, will look at pulling the dead one out of the new...

Hi folks, I'm trying to find why my older Dutch town bike (with slightly newer aftermarket kit) has died. It look like the fault is down the yellow phase transistor in the hub. I swapped the wiring around, the fault stayed with the transistor so it's not a wiring issue. I removed the yellow...

@PC2017 yep I'm still temporarily in the sun - and hoping the move can be made permanent ;) The only front motor bikes I've used were older 36v 250W Ladies / Dutch shopping bikes fitted with very basic controllers, no risk of them behaving oddly due to very soft & slow power delivery. A newer /...

Hi folks just adding some background as I've been using a 29 MTB with 36v Yose kit (upgraded to KT) for a couple of years now and like it a lot https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/yose-350-rear-hub-kit-transplanted-onto-scott.40186/ It's on semi slick tyres from Curio, rear motor is from...

Halfords have decent discounts now on some of their toolboxes ( eg £40 down to £24 nearly 50% off) https://www.halfords.com/tools/storage/tool-chests-and-cabinets/halfords-3-drawer-metal-portable-tool-chest-175935.html Tips: Don't use your trade card (if you have one) as the price works out...

Yep, Customs o_O I've had a few pallets sent from UK to Europe, all arrived ok apart from 1 ( a large box on a pallet, with a fire extinguisher on the pallet alongside the box, all shrink-wrapped professionally to secure it). When it got to me the bottom of the shrinkwrap had been torn open and...

Hi, not being argumentative but i did ask about people stepping off a pavement "not at a junction". The new rules are clear but I still don't see any Highway code changes saying that's ok. From a legal point of view I think the motorist will be found at fault - either fully or to some degree -...

Responding to the comments above, I'm familiar with the updated highway code but I see no mention that pedestrians and cyclists are excused from looking around for traffic when stepping off a pavement onto a road. The new rules for vulnerable road users specifically mention at crossings. The...

NSFW. Very disturbing video of an E-bike battery catching fire when a man is in a lift - things go from perfectly normal to inferno in seconds. https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1816723081483694297 No background about the type of battery or the manufacturer but it's another example that can be...

Sad but not surprising :oops: I've had a pedestrian on mobile phone step off a footpath without looking and walk in front of me when I was driving a large family car though a town center. The look on her face when I blasted the horn and she looked up to see 1 ton of car heading her way almost...
