When you say c1 value setting for the sensor, do you mean the actual sensor or the magnetic disc?

Well as long as you’ve got brake there, I’ve seen quite a few delivery riders bikes with disconnected front brakes I’m not much of a fast rider myself, I rarely go over 15mph and when I do it’s often because I’ve got other cyclists stuck behind me!

Yep, mine wouldn’t work, ordered a kt compatible one from AliExpress.

Did you remove the plastic disc thing that goes on the disc mount on the wheel? That will set the disc closer to the wheel and might give you room.

I’ll probably go for a lcd3, keep it simple! I know the c500 from my yose power front wheel kit doesn’t work with the kt controller, neither does the PAS sensor, so I’ll have to pickup a kt compatible sensor too. Good luck with your build!

I’m about to do the same thing as I’ve managed to get hold of a yosepower 350w back wheel for cheap! I’ve already got a 22a kt controller and 48v battery. The motor connector is also a Juliet, so my plan is to get a motor cable extension lead chop it in half and go from there. That way the connector on the motor and controller stay intact.

Yep the super Moto x, there actually quite grippy, I’ve never had the front wheel wash out or slip on power even on sandy roads and towpaths. I’ve never used them in the wet though.

They are brilliant tires! To be honest it was a toss of the coin whether it was the Land Cruisers or the marathons. I really like the big balloony moto x tires so was debating whether to fit a set of big Apples to my commuter, can’t beat that plush ride but I’m unsure if they can handle the grotty roads in the cold and damp.

Hi! The silver bike has super moto x tires and the black one has Land Cruisers, both by shwalbe and both the in 26”

These yousepower kit’s are fantastic value for money! While they could do with a bit more power I’ve found them both (I’ve a front wheel kit and a back) to be reliable and hassle free, I just wish I could find the front kits battery/controller plate separately as it’s much sturdier then the rear kit’s battery/controller plate.

Hi all, lol sorry for abandoning this post been too busy riding! I’ve made some changes to my bike, I’ve converted over to a youse power rear hub as I wanted to use my bike as a all weather bike as I found the front to be much better suited to summertime. I bought a raw version of the frame for £40 on sale and rebuilt it as front powered.

That's brilliant! I'll copy the way you did it when mine arrive.

That's the same one I got, it's brilliant for the money! The manual for the LCD kd21c is a pain to find though, lots of manufacturers use the same LCD but with different stock settings and slightly different menus. I'll upload the one that works with your LCD.Specification-KD21C-EN-JOBO LCD display.pdf

Any chance you could take a picture of the damage? It'll be easier to help you then.

Nope I didn't use them, I tried them first but they gave me too much offset so took them off and the discs lined up perfectly but that's with the Clarks hydraulic brakes, I dunno if you'd need them for other brands.

I'll check them out. I went for a nice long ride today and it was brilliant having that power to help zip me up hills like it was nothing! But there's a few things I realized when I was out like I actually didn't need the throttle like I thought I would, so I'll remove it at some point also I think I'm going to need those cut off sensors, there were times I stopped pedaling yet the motor continued for a split second, caught me out a few times, especially on junctions. Also the pas settings were a bit too much, I think I only need three instead of five, so I'll change those too.

I've tried the throttle but it only gives me push assistance, I know there's a setting in the KD21C lcd somewhere to change it but finding the right manual is a pain. I think you can use invisible wire brake sensors with those Shimano brakes, (pic above) wether it works with the youse power kit I don't know.

Hi! Nope,I didn't bother with the ones that came in kit, I had some old Clarks m2 hydraulic disc brakes hanging about so used those. I should probably get hold of some separate cut off sensors to use, but without them I haven't had a problem.

You've done a great job on that Matthew, some amazing scenery too!

Your absolutely right AZ it should point downwards, the reason I have it upwards is because I couldn't get the nut cap to stay on, also I was concerned that the small wires inside the spring thing could get broken when I'm parked up at a bike park and somebody slams their front tire into my forks. I may redo the way it should be once my velcro arrives in the post.

Hello everyone, I'm leeroy and this is my first foray into the world of ebikes! I have to say I've enjoyed reading the many posts here and gained quite a bit of knowledge! This is my planet X jack flash 26" with a 250w yose power front hub kit, I've had a spin around the block and it's a lot of fun, I'll only be using it for on road in the dry. I'm just waiting for some more velcro so I can get rid of the (temporary) tie raps and hold the battery down better. I'm also waiting for a longer wolf tooth mount as I decided not to use a rivnut, maybe I should?
