Wow he's gathered quite the crowd. Although he must be cold, looking at the general attire there.

I had same symptoms as OP and this was the cause on my DIY build. I hadn't locked the hailong case on one journey and the arcing on the base plate connection melted the plastic and gave an unreliable connection thereafter. New connector fixed it.

Arguably, charging in the room he was sleeping in saved his whole flat. Moving it to the fire escape is questionable.

Chances are you'd prefer a hub motor as it's a more relaxed riding and owning experience. Unless you enjoy changing gears and climbing challenging, 'off-the-seat' terrain with all the maintenance that comes with that. Pswpower and topbikekit are decent chinese sellers rather than a random on...

Any bodged soldering in your set up? I noticed my voltage sag reduce slightly when I cut out gobs of solder and replaced with crimp connections.

Any other benefit than throttle use when pedalling?

That's helpful to know thank you. It had enough power with just me on it but I wonder how much damage I'm doing to it or if there is room to add luggage. Also it is out of curiosity I asked about the stationary motor under load. I'm not flush enough to try it myself. How long until the...

I am considering using "walk assist" up very steep inclines at 6km/h while carrying a lot of weight. High load at low speeds creates heat in a motor. So considering worst case scenario, how long can a motor last at max current while stationary i.e. with the brakes applied? Is it under a second...

Ah yes, well I'll probably leave it then as its not worth £300+ to me. Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi all, I need some help choosing a controller upgrade. I often see @saneagle recommending KT controllers and here is one I'm interested in: 48V Ebike KT Controller 35A 1500W Electric Bike Square Wave 12-FET UK | eBay Yes, it's 35A for 1500W, yes, I have a 40A BMS. Maybe I'm using this to run...

Doesn't even have a chain :D

What are the new e-scooter regulations? (rte.ie)

Speeding cyclist who crashed into pensioner, 81, while racing at 29mph in a 20mph zone avoids prosecution after she dies - because speed limits don't apply to bicycles, court hears | Daily Mail Online

Blimey, 18mph. Absolute death machine.

10 minute bills rarely make their way into law without government backing. Similar to that proposal to add penalty points to number plate offences from a few years ago. The media still newly posts as if this is coming soon despite it failing to make a second reading in 2021. Vehicle Registration...
