Yes that is what i meant there is a link to the listing for the wheel above.

Sorry guys it looks like I have wasted your time the only thing that is legible on the controller is the year of manufacture and that is 2007. The other thing I noticed is that the wheel on the bike is a 24v 250w wheel. Can you me tell how the 36v battery will affect the hub motor.

Aye lol I'm from down the valley

Will have to do that tomorrow as i have a few hours work through the night and will not have time before I go thanks for the help guys.

The listing says wheel is in the UK and it was quick delivery I did email seller via ebay and it said seller was registered on another ebay site and may not speak my language.

Link to listing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321814920483?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

On checking the battery when fully charged the reading is 42v

It came from china via ebay and is unbranded

I used the charger that came with the battery it is on charge right now when it is fully charged I will walk to his house to get it tested.

Well if that's the case about the battery the I have been ripped off as it is a brand new battery lol when I say fully charged I should have said it was fully charged I then rode the bike to his house best I could do The motor I got was 36v 500w..

The battery is 36v I had a friend test it with a multimeter and a megameter he says the voltage on the meters is just over 37v when fully charged

I think i have posted this thread in the wrong place can a mod move it thanks.

Hi there i was asked to start a new thread and post some pics after my first post. This was the post i made (Hi there new to all this and this may not be the correct place to post this. I seem to have made a complete mess of buying a motored wheel.I am 56 and unfit I work as a private hire driver my neighbour offered me an older ebike with a 250w motor however due to the fact that I am about 30 kilos over the max load capacity it struggles even on very slight inclines.So silly me thought a bigger motor would help so I bought a 500w motor then on doing some research (yes I now know I should have done this first) I find I cannot fit this to the bike as it is not legal in the UK and it would basically be a moped and would need to meet all the same requirements otherwise I would be putting my driving licence at risk of points or a ban which would not be very good I feel that if it is not legal to use the wheel then it should not be legal to sell said wheels in this country.) I should also mention that I live in central Scotland in an area called the braes so hills everywhere lol anyway I will post the pics hopefully you can give me some help.
