Hi All,
I've been guesting for a while but things have got beyond me now and the search function.
I've got this kit: http://www.greenbikekit.com/electric-bike-kit-1/front/36v-250w-front-hub-wheel-kit-with-36v-samsung-frame-battery-with-built-in-sine-wave-controller.html with the 15AH battery option fitted to my old aluminium frame hardtail MTB.
The install wasn't too bad. Had to modify the pedelec sensor to fit on the chainwheel and redish the front wheel so it was central in the forks, but got it all in an working perfectly.
I've done about 30 odd miles on it and have come across a problem
The battery meter (bar graph) on the LCD will go from full to empty and flashing cutting power to the motor within a few seconds of the LCD being switched on. The sub menu volt meter though shows 41V.
I've checked all the plug in connections and also set the P5 to zero so that the meter shows actual voltage and not the smoothed out version if it's set to 12 to make diagnosis easier.
Any clues as to why the battery meter will show zero when the bike battery and indeed the LCDs own voltage measuring function shows a good charge?
Thanks
Des
