That's great. Cheers d8veh

Thanks for the advice. I would love to get a controller that gives 22 amps, but common sense must prevail. I think ill go with the KU65,and when I next upgrade to a bigger battery I will upgrade the controller. On the KU65 can the shunt be soldered?

Yes, my motor is sensorless.

Sorry,i should have put 350 watt motor.

Thanks for the info. The S06S looks like a good option. I have no problem with space though as I got rid of the battery rack and now use a bag in the frame, and the original battery died a long time ago. My current battery is only 10 amp, so as you say, the S09P is probably a bit too much. BMS...

Ok. thanks for the link

Hi, I have not posted in a long time, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I have got a 350 watt kit on my bike that was purchased from Alien ocean, and I believe the same kit is on the Aurora. I require a new controller for my bike (36 v 18amp max current). However, it...

Hi i'm all sorted thanks.Ive managed to make a couple of brackets at work.I think ive over engineered them a little, but better to be safe than sorry.I will post a pic when i get the chance. Cheers Russ

Thanks to all for advice and suggestions.Wishing now that my bike had V brakes!

Thanks Jerry. That looks like an excellent idea.This solution would solve another potential problem, because if i file the dropouts the disc brake caliper would foul the motor. I'll have to have a rumage in the shed. Thanks again. Russ

Thanks, here is a picture, which i hope illustrates my problem.

Hi all, i hope that someone can give me some advice.I am trying to convert a Carrera Subway with a 350 Watt Alien off road kit. With a little bit of tinkering i think it should fit ok.However,when i put the wheel in the rear dropouts it looks to me that the axle is not seated far enough in.I...

Wow, over £400 for a battery!I have a Mk1 Torq that has a NIMH battery.The battery is doing ok,but when it dies that will probably be the end of the bike as well at those prices!

This is the approach i try to take.However, since flecc mentioned about using a mirror, i did not realise until this morning on my way to work how often i look over my shoulder, particularly when trying to navigate grids and pot holes. I think i will have to invest in one!(a mirror that...

I have had my electric bike now for nearly a year, and have cycled in all weathers along the same route everyday day. My biggest gripe though are the pesky grids,many of them on my commute are truely horrendous.Some of them are a good 2" below the road level, and often have big holes around...

Congratulations Flecc on the first 10,000 posts. I have only made a few posts myself, but i have been lurking around the forum now for quite a while, and have read the vast majority of yours.They are always very informative and a pleasure to read. Looking forward to the next 10,000 Russell

Sorry to hear about your tumble Brizzleboy.I too had a similar experience just before christmas, and ended up with a buckled front wheel. Although there is no guarantee of no ice, i now only use roads that i know have been treated.I have taken advice from other forum members and run my tyres...

I think i will give Langsett Cycles a call.They are about an hours drive from me, so hopefully they can fix the wheel the same day. I have suggested to my wife that we could visit the Meadow Hall shopping centre at the same time.Could be an expensive repair! LOL Russell

Thanks for all the advice an info. I think from now on i will alter my route and stick to treated roads only .It might take me a few minutes longer,but at least i should get there in one piece. Just got to get my bike fixed now! Cheers Russell

Thanks for the link fiecc. Just out of interest,is this a job i could do myself, or something that is best left to an expert? Cheers Russell
