    Ebikes with alloy/mag wheels?

    There are several Engwe bikes that I am considering. My work uses www.cyclescheme.co.uk and unfortunately i'm not aware of any UK resellers who participate in this scheme. klarna and Paypal are other alternative for spreading the cost out. But when i get about a 1/3 discount and 12 months...

    Ebikes with alloy/mag wheels?

    Oh I understand that there are some cons. But on balance I think mag wheels are what I'm looking for. Chunky 3 or 4 inch tyres along with suspension help. My use is 90plus percent road and cycle path. I don't ride hard. I'm not especially looking for great feel or to be able to squeeze speed...

    Carrera E Vengeance - Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) & S866

    Forgot all about this post. Ended up trimming retinning and resoldering all connections or ins some cases using connector blocks and got this all up and running a coupe of months back. 36v 250w motor runs great and both it and the controller stay nice and cool - the 36v 8ah battery is showing...

    Ebikes with alloy/mag wheels?

    I've been riding a Halfords Carerra Vengeance 2019 Ebike for a little over a year. Other than the usual issues with punctures here and there my biggest maintenance issue has been replacing spokes. I'm a 20stone rider and generally the bike has ept up better than expected. For a coupe of months...

    Carrera E Vengeance - Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) & S866

    Apologies for the delay, been so busy the bike has taken a back seat. The motor is the stock Carrera Vengeance Espec 2019 - it is marked on it with Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) and has a half inch 9pin Julet connector. The wires in the photos are just the bare end of that connector. Thank god...

    Carrera E Vengeance - Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) & S866

    This is copied and pasted from a PDF manual for the S866. My paper one has P21 and P22 also. I've tried changing various settings like the zero or non zero start, or the number of magnets, and resetting the controller back to default - but in all cases the bike when powered on turns the wheel -...

    Carrera E Vengeance - Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) & S866

    These are just some photos of the controller and wiring at present. The original PAS sensor is 3 wire, as is the throttle. Red white black or red white green but both 3 wire.

    Carrera E Vengeance - Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) & S866

    I've had a 2019 Carrera Vengeance Ebike for a year nearly. Bought it secondhand last summer. Ben very please with it. Recently had a problem where the controller seemed to die and there was a short with the battery connector. Fixed that - cut off corroded battery terminals and rewired it to use...

    Carrera Vengeance Mk1 Bafang Hub

    I've ended up with an S866 controller and display after my stock controller died on me. The stock motor on my 2019 Vengeance E is a Bafang BFSWX02 36V250W (12) What i'm really not sure about now is what settings to use on the controller regarding magnets or zero start. I also can't work out...

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Am currently tinkering with triggering the PAS sensor on a Carrera Vengeance by various means - is there a maximum number of times to activate the PAS sensor before the controller will either ignore the pulses or give an error? Does the motor sense the speed or is it based on pedalling rate, or...

    Carrera vengeance e bike

    Possible this is one of the reflectors - my bike had a little too much play and depending on the road surface i would hear the reflector tapping against the spoke. Drove me nuts but figured it in the end

    Carrera Vengeance Mk1 Bafang Hub

    Morning Preload. Read this thread with great interest as i have just got hold of a Vengeance with the 790 second hand. Mine had a cracked magnet disc which when the chain slipped has actually broken in pieces - but i have managed to jerry rig something temporarily. I am looking to do similar to...
