Brilliant, thanks for that. I’ll get ordering!

Yep for sure, lesson learnt

Hi Nealh, thanks for your reply. Yes, shorted the probes, feel so stupid but what’s done is done. So,yes getting 5v on red/black, blue and green also responding but yellow just staying at 5v no change when rotating the wheel. presume I’ve blown that one? what do you think my options are please? thanks

Hi, yes it is.

so this morning while looking at adding lights to my build with aKt36 controller, I successfully managed to fry it. I was using a multi meter at the time. See photo so now when I power up I get 03 info error. anyone know how much damage I’ve done and what the fix might be. feel a bit sick about it as I use the bike daily for my commute. Appreciate any help to resolve.

No problem hope you find something suitable

Thanks d8veh, appreciate your advice on this again

Ah d8veh, I guessed you would be first on this!!! It’s for a pashley poppy, she loves the bike but finds it v heavy. I was thinking of this motor or bbs01 as it’s drum brakes. What do you think?

I’m jumping the gun here as I know I need to update my last build, and I will I promise. The next build is for my wife and a bit of a challenge which I’m looking forward to. So the question is has any one tried this... Q85 36V250W Roller Brake Front Driving Hub Motor

Finally all sorted and here is the result. Huge thank you to all who have put me on the road not only literally but started my knowledge on this really interesting topic. Now this has generated a whole new issue........my better half wants her bike converted, time for a new thread I think

Thanks all will give all those options a try

Hi guys, I knew I'd be back for help!!! Ok, got around to putting it all together yesterday but am having 2 issues, I presume they are related? 1. Readings on KT-LCD6 are all over the place speeds jumping all around, won't read a continuous speed. 2. the motor seems to 'pulse' if thats the right word for it, seems to give power then back off and then power again with no change in my pedelling? Any help greatly appreciated, i think i'm going to love this when i can get it running smoothly.

Apologies for not getting back sooner,anyhow, very excited and bit the bullet. Battery and motor have arrived, controller here tomorrow :-) I went with your recommendation d8veh, many thanks to all for your advice. I'm sure i'll be in touch during the build for more!!!!! Can't wait to get stuck in....

Would this be a better donor bike, can get one for a a good price? https://www.norco.com/bikearchives/2011/charger/

Hi James, yes i do!!

Thanks for the input guys. James I hadn't even noticed that it was a 40 chainring, I presume i can change that out or does that put a stronger case forward for a middrive??? Danidl, I really want to build something myself as opposed to buy off the shelf, I'm sure you get that, apologies for imperial/metric measurements I was copying and pasting and thought mph would be easier!!! d8veh: I have no feelings for the bike at this time!!!!! I don't really enjoy it as it standsand want to make it better, would you stick to hub or go mid based on what James mentioned in his earlier post. I think deep down I really want to go middrive but is that madness???

Hi everyone, I have been reading the forum for a long while now and have learned loads from it so thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge here. I am asking for your help on this one please as I just can't decide mid-motor or hub!!! I am hoping to bite the bullet in a month or so and would like to be confident I am getting the correct setup. I am technical so hopefully will understand you but please bear with me if i need clarification!!! I commute daily 18km each way and would like to be at around 25mph if possible (on the flat). I have the route and elevation below and also the bike specs. Would really appreciate your thoughts on the best solution. I weigh in at 95kgs and it's normally 15mph head wind one way or the other!!!!!
