    KT controller cutting out at 36V?

    old cells could sag below the cut off voltage under load, try running with the lcd attached and monitor voltage in real time perhaps?

    Speed

    Thats not ideal, and would indicate problem. Fully charge the battery and take a voltage reading of the output to get a quick indicator of your battery health. Take a few pics of the bike especially the handle bar display to help id the bike and its system.

    Help! Jorvick 24 trike / throttle

    OP If you really consider the bike to be ultra dodgy due to the seller. Dont waste a penny more on a bike that could be reclaimed from you by its rightful owner and leave you with the risk of carrying a receiving stolen goods charge. In order to ride the bike free and clear take it to plod and...

    Why do none of the big manufacturers sell conversion kits

    If buying a 2nd use ebike its only common sense to consider any battery as highly suspect and include the cost of a replacement into your decision making process. And named brand mid drives are often a red flag 2nd use as fixes/maintenance can require authorised dealers etc... Not to mention...

    Hi :)

    Hrumph! We call em step thru's these days ;) My Top-Tip for you atm is that e-bike manuals/instructions etc can be found by using the display units details in the search. since the display is your interface to the 'system'. so if your display is labelled KTlcd-3 for example a google search...

    thumb throttle and walk assist

    This is probably old news to you but just in case.. Have you ridden the bike at all? It took me a while to get used to my conversion and how the pedal assist would cut in/out compared to my expectations of ridding m/cycles decades earlier. But Once i found the 'knack' or the penny finally...

    this is me

    pedelec regs make a lot of sense and provide for the ability to apply a suitable battery and controller to a motor to move anyone almost anywhere at safe cycling speeds with little or no effort, though i do think they are to hung up over speed control and throttles.. No regs limiting Amps...

    Lost key. How do I open the battery lock?

    Are you sure its locked?? fwiw I stalled with the spring clean kitchen clear out this year, I misplaced the back door key ? I would usually move anything possible fridge freezer etc out of the tiny 8x9 kitchen so i could pull out the cooker and give the whole floor a scrub clean.. no opening...

    Additional light on a giant fastroad

    even if your e-bike has lights controlled by the ebike controller it generally a VERY BAD IDEA to add extra or replacement more powerful lights. this is because the circuits switching any 'built in lights' will be built down to a cost and will be sufficient to switch the lights fitted but could...

    Pretty step through and no maintenance!

    Im fond of my bike see icon, an Ortler cargo detroit iirc fitted with a stock circa £400 complete Yose Power rear wheel kit. And i for one think its rather pretty too the grey paint looks pretty good for what must be a 6 yr old bike by now (converted 2 years ago) and when it gets a wash looks...

    wrong pas sensor

    ?? The Sensor pictured in Post#1 is all in one no magnet disk needed, this design has the magnets internal so is not subject to the same issues of magnet spacing as the 2 part jobs, and it probably has no led to flash either.. When fitting just be mindful the whole sensor does NOT rotate with...

    Tied my self in Knots

    has the front wheel been twisted around 360 degrees in err perhaps, shoving into a cluttered shed could force a mud guard under a cross beam facilitating the twist? try rotating the front bars/wheel assembly in the direction that reduces tangle and give it a modicum of oomph if a mudguard...

    Help! New e-bike buyer here - what annoyances should I expect?

    The gut punch to my expectations was the reality of built in and sleek equals BAD and bolt on looking diy equals GOOD.. Because most if not all the built in systems are closed and oblique to fixes and mods.. 'sophisticated' battery communication for Your Safety actually means prematurely self...

    Muddy Fox Electric Avenue issue

    Do you have access to a multi-meter to take voltage readings from the battery? If 0v output #1 check its switched on.., #2 there may be a fuse blown internal to the pack? How long did you try charging it for? Try posting pics of the bike/battery and connections. google suggests a couple of...

    Value of used, converted bikes

    If you dont NEED the funds, give the bike to a family member, friend, neighbour who could use it and will appreciate it. you wont make any ££ but you could score lots of 'brownie points' with folk who matter. No one will value the bike the same as you pre sale. And when considering a 2nd...
