    Can't change Pedal Assist speed limit

    I had already tried both ways you mentioned but the motor still does not cut out at the designated speed. As the bike is suspended on a support stand there isn't any load on the motor - except for turning the rear wheel, the motor should still cut out at the designated speed shouldn't it?

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    Referring to the earlier posts from Flecc & PeterPi Type approval for throttles is not needed if the throttle is fitted when converting a bike - then it's perfectly legal. But not legal if the throttle is fitted by the manufacturer from January 2016. Do you agree?

    36V 30Ah battery from Aliexpress

    I ordered without checking the number of cells contained in the pack. The Samsung IRN18650 35E cells have a nominal capacity 3500mAh. But there are only 50 cells in the pack arranged as 10S5P which would equate to 17.5Ah not 30Ah as ordered. To achieve 30Ah - 90 cells arranged as 10S9P would be...
