What's a cycle path ? Round here we don't even get paint on the road. There has, however, been quite a few big blue signs put up teeling motorists to leave 1.5m to a bike. Got to say they do seem to be working - mostly.

Tried it both ways (careful !), when going down a main road, good surface straight bit at 35mph, one is certainly not pedalling. Having read the C14 notes again and trying to decipher further, it seems to be referring to the relative strengths of assistance levels 1-4, with 5 still being power...

Leaping sideways, like a top flight goal keeper, and plucking at this straw as it wizzes by in a gale force wind - there is some sort of regen setting in the display (instructions written in chinglish of course), however it's an AKM geared hub so there can be no regen.

Nah, stops pretty much straight away, almost as quick as a new government drops it's manifesto promises..........oops! I think I should point out that the WTF PLC programming on KT is carried out by button pushing alone without the need for a programming cable and laptop :rolleyes::cool:

Pas is very quick. When mounting it has kicked in before ones even got ones leg over ! Pretty good for a septegenarian me thinks.

That's right, that's the problem. Nothing at all until it decides, in it's own good time (and without apparant pattern), to slowly ramp back in.

I'll give it a go and report back.

I can confirm this. Been up one of my longer climbs at a surprising speed. Speed registration is now consistant and seems accurate. Power cut off and back in is smooth and subtle. I do still have one issue, however. On my ride there's a long descent. I reach 30-35mph going down it. The...

Back of the net ! Somehow I'd got the info that AKM had 6 magnets. P2 now set to 1. It's sorted it all. Coasting speed registration now correct. Power pick up also now correct. Thanks once again Saneagle.

I'll try on next ride. On the stand 6 seemed to be giving an odd reading. I fitted an external sensor that I bought with the motor. I couldn't get any reading from it on any setting. May have been too much space between wheel magnet and sensor. Zero seemed to give the best. It's this power...

Got my new motor, 36v 201rpm, built into wheel and given initial test today. This motor is much happier on hill climbing. Just did a fairly long, gradually steepening climb on full power. A lot torquier than the last one. Stopped at the top of the hill to check controller temperature, it felt...

No. It seems to be a test that requires you to have certain things. Usual eapc stuff plus, I believe a side stand, mudguard edge protectors and ball end brake levers, are part of it. At the end you get a certificate that exempts your full throttle bike from being a motor vehicle.

Kunteng (KT) controllers can be programmed for the throttle to act in different ways. The legal way is as above. The throttle acts as walk assist (6kph) until the pedals are being turned, then it will give full power. The pedal rotation needs to be just that, a rotation, with no effort being...

Just looked up the GrinTech test instructions, I'll give it a go. This is what I got: R-Bla 4.3v constant W-Bla 5v constant Bla-Blu Bla-G Bla-yel All switching 5v-0v Couldn't get 03 error to come up whilst on the stand. Tried powering the wheel under a braking load but no error.

Thanks guys. System did work with some glitches that I was trying to get to the bottom of. The 03 error was new. Meanwhile the weathers a wasting and I'm without a reliable ride. So I've bitten the bullet and ordered an new 201 rpm motor, and 8 magnet pas sensor and a speed sensor. With this...
