I got them from Amazon- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GXZFH1C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 although I note the are currently unavailable, but there a several others that look similar. I did have to do some minor surgery to the metal shoe to make them fit.

I have just bought an E-Movement Thor. 250w bafang rear hub motor, 36v 10.4AH battery. Did a 12 mile circuit of my home yesterday as my first trip out. Setting 3 for most of the time, 4 on the hilly clips and 5 on the hard uphill back to the house. With sensible use of the gears, and being frugal on the throttle, I came back with around 40% remaining, so would expect another 4-5 miles in the terrain around here [hilly N Wales, not Snowdonia] before getting off to push. The bike is heavy- like around 25kg as am I [100kg] so this sort of milage is acceptable for a 10AH battery. I believe e-movement are looking at a bigger battery later this year.

found them - or at least identical

Many years ago I came across a motorbike lock which featured the usual chain, but it was contained in a sleeve made from kevlar and ballistic nylon [the same as what chainsaw trousers are made of] Any power tool would snarl up on the outer sleeve ages before reaching the inner tempered steel chain. Never seen anything like it since.

I'm here in wales and I never go further than a 2 mile radius from the house. With our maze of small back roads and tracks I can easily fit in 12- 15 miles [or an hours exercise] without ever going 'further' than 2 miles. Simples!

So, there I was, coasting down this big long hill near the house and when I went to slow down, the front brake decided that it no longer wanted to do it's job. Luckily the rear was working. Checked it all over and decided that I needed a new set of brake pads. Looking online it's definitley not a one-size-fits-all choice out there. So here I am hoping the good folk here will be able to help out. The bike is a cheapo Myatu/Ancheer 'MTB' of 2017 vintage with 'Filel' branded brake calipers working on the usual rotor set up. Mechanical, not hydraulic. Looking online I cannot find reference to 'Filel' brand calipers, so am assuming it's another chinese knock off that no longer is in production or are now known by another name. So my question is [at last] can anyone tell me what brake pads will fit this set up. I'd normally let my local bike shop sort this out but as we're all in lockdown I suspect I'll need to get them online and try and sort things out myself.

DHL deliverd my battery today, no problems. The box it was in was clearly marked as a LiOn battery too, with all the usual warnings on it.

well, after a lot of too-ing and fro-ing with all manner of replies and opinions, I eventually took the plunge and invested in a new x-go bottle battery as a replacement. I duly wired it in and did a trial run. Success! Lets see how long it lasts. Now- what to do with the existing battery. Answers/ comments? welcome.

there you go. looks like a generic cheapo controller the usual jumble of cables

will do when I get back home later in the week.

so it looks like I'll be replacing the controller. There's a lot to choose from out there, but since this is a cheapo bike, I'm not minded to splash out for a top end bit of kit. On the other hand I don't want to replace my crapped out controller with another cheap'n nasty one. so recommendations please for something compatible that will do the job without my spending more than the bike's worth.

so........... I hardwired the voltage indicator into the battery connections and powered up the system. The battery showed 3 green. The led indicator showed a full battery. The controller gave a full bar of lights. I selected mid-range and off I went. The controller indicator lights almost immediately dropped to 3 lights, the led showed 100%. 10 seconds later the controller dropped to 2 lights and then switched the motor off and went dark. The led voltmeter showed 100% for a couple more seconds and went dark. I reset everything and repeated the experiment with exactly the same results. So, learned gentlemen [and ladies] WTF is going on. duff Controller? iffy Battery? Both?

Ok. guy who has my multimeter has gone on his hols, so I bought one of those led voltmeter things off the bay, and checked the voltage- 100% ok, and this is after I'd been round the block a couple of times and had a half dozen resets. Plan now is to wire said voltmeter into the battery 'spikes' on the holder so I can monitor what happens on the move. Good idea- or not? Might experience a bit of a voltage drop if I have more than a foot or so of wire, but it should give a decent indication of what's going on. Gut feeling? it's the controller, but is it an electronics issue or a loose conection somewhere in the system?

cannot think that it is that, since all the key does is lock/unlock the battery into the carrier.

Thanks guys. will check out battery when I get my multimeter back off the guy I loaned it to. I'll report back and see where we go from there. If the battery is ok, then it might be the controller. I note that they are'nt that pricey.
