Hi there. Thanks for all the help. As I'm sure you all figured I'm very new to all this. Anyway, the new LCD display arrived, and it all seems to work OK. I've not been on the road yet though. But what is troubling me is that according to the manual I should have an option to set the voltage - which is 36v - the motor and controller. As I said it all seems to work - in the shed at least - so I assume that the desplay and/or the controller automatically can find the correct voltage setting. The reason I was particularly confused by this is that in the manual it seems to show how to set the voltage. The fourth option of five, but actually there are only four option, the voltage one missing. Any thought would be helpful. Thanks.

Ah great, thanks. JH.

Ah Thanks, and presumably brakes and pedal sensor and throttle are pretty general too - providing the plugs fit, but maybe the plugs can be changed as long as the wiring matches up?

Thanks Nealh - for getting back to me, much appreciated. That's good to know. JH.

If I might ask another question. With the the differing displays - is it a question of wiring in the right order for the controller or profounder differences. Even better, if someone could point me to some detailed info about all this. Thanks again. JH.

Thank you so much - will do. Much appreciated. JH.

Thanks so much for your help, here is a picture of the controller showing the label. I've attached the jpg file. I hope that's the right way to do it. Thanks again. I'm guessing that it is Lishui brand.

Hi, to cut a very long story short, I have lost my lcd display. I bought a yose power 36v 250 20 inch front wheel kit about a year ago and need a replacement display. I don't know the exact details of it but guess it must have been appropriate for the above specs. How standard are they, can I get any old lcd to replace it, as long as it fits the green female 5 pin julet, or is it more complex than that. are all 5 pin green julet plugs wired a standard way - and always for lcd displays. Any help and clarification would be very appreciated. Many thanks. PJH.

Thanks all very much

Thanks, where I was coming from was a friend of mine who recently brought a volt metro, I believe, said it was fitted with the sign wave controller that they sell separately. He reckoned, having tried an earlier and cheaper model, the the sign wave controller was much smoother, particlarly form a start - a much smoother start he thought, less of a jump forward so to speak.

I have had a cursory look at the BMSBattery site and it appears that it could be cost effective to by a kit, and a separate controller to use instead of the controller that would be included in the kit. Would that work, are the bits mix and match like that? Thanks for any input.

I understand that bicycles4u have recently brought out a 20 and 26 inch electric bike. Does anyone know anything about these. Does anyone know anyone who had bought one. ON the site they look good, and are a very good price. Thanks all.

Thanks for info and picture.

Hi there I have noticed in Ebay a 2008 ezgo ebike, the seller says that the brakes don't cut out the motor anymore as the leads have come out of the brake levers, but otherwise ok, and with a new battery. Would this be an easy job to fix, could I likely use generic ebrake levers, if I couldn't get izip ones? If so I'm tempted to bid. Thanks, comments welcome.

Hi again, well - another day, I had a looks at Sheldon's page, complicated stuff - this rim sizes thing. I do notice that I have a good bit of room to manauver with my brake blocks both larger and smaller than my existing wheel. My own measurments are very inconclusive as they seem not near 305 or 349 on the Dahon, the tyres are labelled though 16 x 1.75. However, I think there may be a real problem with the fork, given the limitation of trying to measure it with the wheel in, it appears at the end to be between 60 and 70 mm, notwithstanding that the forks get thicker and therfore even narrower as the go up. Comments welcome.
