£40 p/h seems reasonable, 3 hours to diagnose is taking the yellow stuff. your bike is fairly modular, a battery pack, a control system, and a motor. A numpty in a well equipped workshop could Id the area of issue with simple substitutions within 20 mins.. Your in good hands now tho ;)

afaik yose-power have a good rep for supplying batteries, the one i bought with the conversion kit i fitted over 2 years ago holds a good charge and is used regularly. Greenlance.co.uk are another source members in here have used and recommended and have frequent discount codes. chances of...

Its probably cheaper and less time consuming to get a replacement lock and fit ( 1 x evening and 1 x shopping order) than faf about trying to get an extra key. You could try a local key cutter timpsons close to me are helpful and matched a slightly thicker blank to my post box lock key.

Roughly 70-80% of your braking is done by the front brake, so the rear brake is less crucial to upgrade. And the upgrade to the front will make a significantly greater contribution to improving your braking performance. But if your current brakes are sufficient to lock your back wheel when...

+1, start stocking the spares box ;) who knows where that may lead.......

halfords web page for this bike? details this bottom bracket spec? Sq taper, 68mmx126mm, If not its perhaps worth exploiting distance selling and next day delivery and buying one matching the above spec and measuring which if any dimensions are incorrect and return/re-order accordingly...

Probably not, though the pic would help, its possible its sold as a generic switch under a different 'name'? Some brands might cheap out and just fit hard to source connectors on generic parts, they pull every other trick they can get away with in the name of brand protection.

List your questions/uncertainties, Collectively im sure we can answer them all. You should be able to specify or select your controller with the battery connector you prefer and then buy a battery with a matching connector. If buying sale items ore?? and dont have the options? then its not a...

DIY a downtube /crossbar guard from abs guttering, a heat gun should allow you to form it over any shape to spread out where needed and a couple of holes should allow easy cable tie attachment in a couple of places. For more exotic shapes look in your recycling bin for any thermoplastic bottles...

Even if provided for, only fit manufacturer supplied lights for your bike Or confirm the switching capacity of the light circuits is beyond the draw (Amps or Mamps) of any light you fit. Otherwise you risk blowing the switching component loosing light control and possibly further unpredictable...

fwiw I will still on occasion, slam my shin into the black plastic box perched on my rear rack even though ive been ridding a step thru for over 5 years now..

When it comes to the pas sensor config settings my kt lcd manual is a prime example of oblique Chenglish. in the end i spent a fraction of the time i spent re-reading and second guessing just cycling through the 5 or 6 options until it worked.. -no harm-

You wouldnt benefit from the 350w kit much imho, i am no lightweight and the yose 250w kit on my bike scoots me upslope at 15mph no problem and real hills are climbed with comfortable input and me in the seat not standing and puffing.. The controller and its speed control is a bit meh! but...
