DIY Battery voltage display
Uses one of these, with a slot cut in the case, piece of acrylic on top. Meter is powered from a button cell, to save space. No external switches - to avoid water ingress - just hold your phone case close to switch the display on. Reed switch inside the case is operated by the magnet on the phone case clasp.

Mosfet question
It's asymptomatic. As I've sent the battery away for new cells, I thought I'd check things over. Hence the puzzlement.

Mosfet question
Controller disconnected from battery, and motor. Multimeter set to 200kohms. Readings taken between the negative anderson battery connection and each of the three phase wire pins on their connector, then repeated using the positive anderson connection.

Mosfet question
Checking them on my eZee conversion controller I got the following values in k ohms. Green Yellow Blue + 120 70 50 _ 90 60 30 Looking at stuff on the web suggests they should lie in a similar range of values. Do these values suggest anything abnormal? Thanks

Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Sorted, faulty Hall Sensor on the throttle, replaced with a Bafang throttle, just had to swop connections around for the Juliet connector.

Throttle, which connection is which?

Do the brake lever connectors follow the same pin configuration as throttle connector?

Thanks, I 'll take the cover off a new one and check the wire colours.

Would this be a suitable replacement for thumb throttle on Ezee kit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/13018637334?iid=255361998656

Perfect, reads 5V. Many thanks.

Throttle, which connection is which?
Lots of videos on this but they all have stripped cable showing wire colours. But I don't want to cut into my connector(s). So is there a safe way with a multimeter to work out + - and sensor? Using either the male or female (throttle end) connection. I don't want to short or damage anything. Thanks

Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Yep, I'll check brake levers, throttle function, and motion sensor. Though I would not be surprised to find no faults as the problem is intermittent. May have to resort to carrying a multimeter to capture the moment.

Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Sods law; I take the bike out 3 times and no fault. This will be a slow process of elimination I think.
-
Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Thanks, yes the motor will stop after a longer hold on the brake. The motion sensor and disc seem ok. I think I'll try disconnecting the sensor (instructions did say fitting was optional, as you can always use the throttle) and see what happens just using the throttle.

Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Yes, came with the kit.
-
Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Throttle function seems ok. I was thinking maybe something with the crank sensor.

Motor still runs when I stop pedalling
Happens occasionally, but becoming more frequent. Applying a brake has no effect unless I hold it on for about 20 seconds then release. Any ideas on the cause? Is it simple to fix? Thanks. eZee Mk2 700c rear wheel conversion, 8 years old.

16g spokes
I’ve now discovered that I was misinformed by the young sales person in our local cycle shop. Higher the gauge, thinner the spoke, he got it wrong way around. I visited another experienced repair shop and found out it’s 13G, which I can buy locally. Sorted, thanks for the info.

16g spokes
Thanks, I'll get in touch with them.
-
16g spokes
The rim and hub motor came fitted with 16g, so I guess I can't go mixing sizes.
-
16g spokes
Thanks for the tip folks, it worked but no suitable results.

16g spokes
Needed for my eZee conversion rear wheel, 223mm length. Can't find a supplier. A forum search was no good as 16g was rejected as too short a word.

Weinmann XTB26 rim
My ezee rear conversion came with the above rim. It now has a flat spot so I'm looking to replace it but can't find any. Does anyone know of a suitable substitute? Thanks

Wooo, done me conversion.
Dunno if this may be of use but I found that a round Surform was really handy opening the inner diameter of the magnet disc so it would fit the crank.

Great stuff, rear wheel eZee conversion on Ridgeback Supernova. Cycling is now fun again!
