Is your battery charged? On one of your many previous threads, you weren't sure: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/topic/48872-byfang-battery-charger-advice/

Only a bag battery option is offered for my 20" wheeled mid-drive folding bike conversion. A downtube battery can be secured to a rear rack, as on my awesome BBS01B Dahon conversion... or a rear rack with integrated battery could perhaps be presented for purchase by the eletrickery powered gizmo?

Get rigid forks, fat puncture proof tyres of some sort, and try handbar suspension instead? Here's a cheapo, I have no idea if it works or for how long. There are other cheapo types. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007083286244.html @Nealh got a steal of a deal on AliExpress for a Reshift Shockstop: https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/components-c9/stems-c76/redshift-shockstop-suspension-stem-30deg-p21973/s66650

The water jet is already strong at 3.5V, but out of interest, I increased the voltage to see how much this water flosser could cope with. Gears seized at 5.83V. Happily, a quick burst of 18V unseized it again. Disappointed I can't cut metal with this. Sometimes I swear this thing drains gum abscesses to some extent. If true, that's saved me even more in dentist fees, and the dentist's elbow grease lancing the things.

Nature can't be changed easily, but nurture can. I'm going to go on and on a little yet again, about home made kefir. Having suffered from IBS when I was pre-diabetic, when I was a disgusting fatso, I found home made kefir helpful. I had stopped for a couple of years, but now that my weight has crept up again a bit, and I've had antibiotics in the intervening time, the dreaded IBS returned. So... I've recently restarted my kefir fermenting regime and feel a lot better, poos are more regular again, my guts feel a heck of a lot happier regardless of what I eat. Thought I'd buy grains from two sources this time, to increase probiotic diversity, bought a total of 50g and it's grown to well over 200g already. Shop bought kefir only contains about 13 probiotic strains, home made contains over 60. A significant portion of those strains survive the stomach and the gut. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/327028251493 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157741442236 Consuming kefir increases the abundance of this performance enhancing probiotic genus, which explains my awesome godlike brute stength. I had always wondered where it came from. Can't be due to steroids because I don't use any. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11820909/ Specific gut bacterium Roseburia linked to stronger muscles and better fitnesshttps://www.news-medical.net/news/20260312/Specific-gut-bacterium-Roseburia-linked-to-stronger-muscles-and-better-fitness.aspx Either leave the lid of the jar slightly ajar, so it can breathe, or buy cheesecloth to protect it with (secure with elastic band), plus a sheet of plastic to rest on top, to prevent it drying out. You'll need at least three layers of cheesecloth to keep various sizes of contaminating flies off. I make mine in cafetierres - minus plungers, they're basically large pyrex beakers with convenient stay-cool handles, easy to sterilise with hot water without cracking. I use a finer plastic mesh strainer than the chick in the video below. Acidic, so you don't want to use metal utensils. Use wood, glass, or plastic. It's difficult to go wrong making your own kefir. I ferment mine for two days to reduce lactose to almost nothing. Takes about 20 minutes every one or two days to make your own kefir. People have been making their own kefir successfully without dying in filthy basic kitchens for many cenuries. Easy peasy. Delicious too, sweeten with fresh fruit etc. if you like. I've used it to rise dough instead of yeast, to great effect. Contains a small amount of alcohol and is alcohol tolerant, therefore also good in cocktails. Here's my latest batch in the cafetierre, before straining, to stop me straining (if at first you don't suceed, try and try again :-)

@Peter.Bridge has a TSDZ8, a UART BBS02, and a CAN bus BBS01B. He recently opined positively about the latter: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/topic/47184-%C2%A3245-argos-folder-improvements-complete-story/page/5/#findComment-760963 The UART version can have settings changed using a cheap programming cable. There are almost no UART BBS01B motors or kits available, because Bafang now only manufacture CAN bus. Here appears to be one - it'd be annoying if they sent you the CAN bus version. The listing does state "Free returns", I'd wait for them to supply a postage label if you do have to return it. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010176950145.html The BBS01B is quite waterproof as is. You can further protect cable connections using dielectric silicone grease, self-adhesive marine heat shrink, plus self-amalgamating rubber tape, as I have mostly. Self-amalgamating tape and thick plastic bag sheet can be fashioned into a rain hood for the display. The soft rubber edges flop over to form a seal with time. I've cycled in many hours of rain a lot, and left my bike standing in downpours for hours, plus the motor survived complete submersion for 13 seconds in a pond which appeared in the road around a bend hidden by a tall wall after a sudden thunderstorm. Despite the water level being above both pedals, my bike made a bow wave as pedal assist powered me out. On my controller's firmware version at least, it is possible to limit the throttle to 6km/h, and this works well on the road. However, whether or not it passes the rozzer's wheel off the ground no-load throttle speed limit test, depends on what gear you're on. It was useful for hill starts: activate throttle and immediately start pedalling - when you let the throttle go, the bike shoots forward without delay, with full pedal assist enabled, at whatever assist level you're on. I removed the throttle because of the high likelihood of encountering dumb cops. Hill starts are ok on my bike, because pedal assist is set to start with a 30 degree rotation of the crank, which I can manage by standing on the pedals - easier to do if I've stopped on a low gear.

You'd burn up at that speed. Far too fast, even if you hate France. Dangerous ebike modifications are illegal. Slow down and enjoy the croissants. Or increase voltage plus shunt mod to travel 69.6 times faster, turn green traffic lights blue.

Thanks for the update. I'm pleased to hear it works, but did the dude say what specifically upset the controller, in what way and why? Which configurator did the dude use? The settings you posted above should work ok with one of the usual displays. Your Work Mode is "undetermined", but that also works ok. Mine's set to 10. Penoff's:

I'm often seeing this 508 error when trying to view threads at the mo. Also "Choose files" uploader doesn't always load, requires browser refreshes to eventually appear. Pedelecs.co.uk needs more compute resources allocated during busy times?

I wondered if Linus is using an older vesrion - is that still supported with security patches? I've tried viewing large images on our forum with Vivaldi, my most modern desktop PC brower on Win 7... and the magnifying glass doesn't appear on hover. Right click and open in new tab, to "CTRL" and "+" key zoom it is then...

AAAAARRRGGGHH!!!! Contrary to the article, ProtonVPN DOES leak DNS!!! And I use a paid tier! I'm enraged! Will try some other VPN next. https://tools.examineip.com/vpn-leak-test/

When you eventually rip out that old cooker for the scrappy, get a ceramic hob? Most similar experience to cooking with gas you can get with electric. Faster than conventional elements. Unlike induction, you can use your existing pots and pans, though it's best if they fit the hobs or overlap. New ceramic hobs aren't usually repairable, economically or otherwise - I tried (false alarm on my new one[Oct 2022], probably due to a firmware fault state caused by a low slow gumbo cook using large cast iron lasting 15 hours setting off multiple temperature sensors; reset once power and excess heat was depleted by prolonged disconnection, is my theory), no replacement elements available, and the blanked off bolts somehow resisted the hardest drill bits. My first ceramic hob exploded with a loud WHUMP!!! and a jump, because grease had seeped through a crack over time and ignited. The new one bought Oct 2022 is still going great. You can usually install the hobs yourself, or buy integral with an oven as (inexpensive, can be) standalone cookers. My new one has a very useful ferociously hot and large 2.3kW ring, fantastic for mega hot and fast stir fries. The heat from that thing is unreal dude. Remember to replace immediately, when you see a crack in the glass... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JCHY6RC

The only 48V Bafang rear hub motors supposedly marked 250W I've seen, are for wide axled fat bikes: G060 on AliExpress and ebay, the pictures of which may or may not be fake.

Linus Tech Tips also uses Invision Community, and the magnifying glass appears even on my Firefox ESR on Win 7. Click the image, hover to activate the magnifying glass, clicking the image then opens the image in a new tab, for image zoom in/out by browser. Images in this post for example: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1456215-show-off-your-setup-rev2/?do=findComment&comment=16856461 There's gotta be a switch to enable that somewhere. We need to behold zoomed builds in all their greasy grubby glory. An easy workaround is to simply right click and open the image in new tab, then zoom with the browser on PC, or pinch/zoom and fondle gleefully on mobile, or use image browser addons etc. If it's another bug, they owe you cold BTC bounty.

Bafang rear hub motors engraved 250W are out there somewhere - I bought this G010 with a damaged cable for a tenner on ebay, ready for the day when I can eke out time to assemble a sensorless conversion. Too many other priorities at the mo. Trouble is, when the Suez canal gets blocked and/or is destroyed, prices of absolutely everything will increase to the stratosphere and beyond for years and years, so I might have to order soon while it's still cheap, in order for the controller display etc. to arrive and lurk in boxes till I'm ready.

I did wonder if the embedding of your link was prevented by the "m." in front of "youtube.com", but it wasn't, that can flummox other CMSs. I've noticed embeddings sometimes takes a few seconds on this new forum, might be lacking CPU or RAM - usually the issue for CMS hosting when enough resources haven't been assigned. Wait a few seconds after inserting a Youtube link, see if embedding kicks in. If not, what works is edit > right click > select all copying your post, refreshing the page, making a new post pasting your old post in. At that point the emedding should happen before your very eyes while editing, post your new post, then hide your previous duplicate post. You might need to refresh the page a few times until the video embeds. Wasn't a problem on the old forum.

Do you mean from Youtube? I'm surprised the link above didn't automatically embed - the same link does for me:

Is the magifying glass zoom function for images gone in desktop view? There's fondle pinch and and zoom in fondleslab view - is there a setting somewhere to enable an icon for zooming in for PCs and laptops lacking the fondle feature? Some of us detest the mobile internet and all the calamities it has caused.

Mate of mine in his mid-20s ended up on oxygen in intensive care and almost died, was resolutely against vaccines before that. Barely survived. When he eventually recovered, his BMW SUV was rolled over by a direct hit from a car going like a missile into the side. Survived that too. What surprised me was he'd studied sports science at university.

Get a cheap small efficient backup oven? I had my doubts, but the Belaco air fryer I bought from a moon landing denier a couple of years ago on ebay for a tenner keeps on working. Had previously used halogen bulbed, this type with the usual heating electric cooker elements is much longer lived. Can't find my model, which is a bit taller than this one. Great if you want a fast cheap blast for pizza, dead animal parts etc. Also brill for cooking all sorts at various speeds. Dehydrates veg too, albeit at over 100C, not ideal. Microwaves are better for say, dehydrating carrots to tiny very sweet wine gum-like snacks, which contain so little water they remain pliable when frozen, or reducing and slooooow cooking porridge so it's ultra creamy - defrost mode is epic for both those things and more. https://www.ypc.co.uk/product/belaco-air-fryer-oven-15l-double-layered-glass-1200w-air-fryers-toaster-grill-compact-kitchen-appliances-80-230-temp-setting-oil-free-healthy-heating/

I've just noticed "Share this post" isn't available for non-members, and members who aren't logged in. Bit of a bummer for site visitors if they can't share a specific useful post via a link, without joining the forum. Wasn't like that on the old forum. Oh well, at least they can share the page which contains the useful post somehwere on the long page, and refer to it by post number #n - nope, they can't do that either.

Is the box for the battery? @StuartsProjects made a lighweight L bracket: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/topic/44498-ebrompton-build/page/6/#findComment-688549

When I doubled clicked the notification bell icon on the old forum, I could see all previous alerts on it's own page - I prefer that, instead of having to single click the bell and select from it's submenu on this one. Or clicking the bell once, giving focus to another browser element, then clicking the bell again once, to see more items in the bell's submenu. Both methods take a teeny bit longer. With a simple double click of the bell at any time to see all notifications on it's own page, there would be slightly less of my life devoured by the internet.

Whoa thats a lotta something(s), beer or cider or both? What's the blue stuff top left in the first pic? Curacao? You've inspired me to reach for the "Award Winning" Aldi Highland Black whisky. Surprisingly good considering it's low low price, if you don't add water. Seriously bloody odd with water. I swear I can taste ashtray when it's watered down a bit. Confusing, because "Ashtray" isn't listed as an ingredient on the label, "Notes of filthy ashtray" isn't on the label.

I'm curious about what the grey material is on the front of the frame above the fork, and it's function.
