    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I will try that, the battery is in place like normal; what I noticed is that when I tried to slide it off the cradle, I couldn't do it. But it's always been a hassle to remove it, but I rarely ever do it since I don't need to where I typically park it. It's a safe, indoor area.

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    The one thing about the battery is that I couldn't remove it from the cradle yesterday when I read saneagle's post about the battery cradle possibly being an issue. Even when I first installed the battery removing it was a struggle, but yesterday I just couldn't get it off the thing. It's very...

    I did not change the LCD. Yose sent me the controller only. Just now I went down to the garage, pressed the button and the bike/system turned on as normal, I lifted it and held on to the throttle for a good 3 minutes. It got to 37.2 km/h, the battery read 41.2v, no error code on the LCD...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I cannot recollect ever doing that. My battery stays on the bike as I use it mostly for commuting and I never remove it when I park it there. And I'm always paranoid and double check I flip my battery switch to 'off' whenever I'm not using the bike. -- I was so hesitant about fitting the new...

    News just in! Yose sent me a new controller. Just now there was a delivery guy knocking on my door which I found odd since I hadn't ordered anything. They sent me the thing without even saying anything other than that they were going to have their engineers simulate the fault I'd described...

    The one on the LCD display, the button you press and hold to turn the bike on. Looking back, I meant button and not switch. - I still haven't heard from Yose since they said they were going to simulate the issues with their engineers.

    Update: I charged the battery to its full capacity (green light on charger). After many attempts to switch the bike on, it read 41.4v - which is what it normally showed when the battery was fully charged previously. What caught my eye was, as I was repeatedly pressing and holding the button...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Hello everyone, I took a bit of a hiatus because I've been really busy with other matters. I contacted Yose 2 days ago. And they have been replying to my queries. Last they said they will have their engineers simulate the symptoms I've described to find the fault. First of all I haven't done...

    Yes, the thing is I ordered my kit from one (of the two) Yose Power stores on Ebay. So I assume I'd have to contact them via Ebay. Also for a second I thought it could be the battery - which I purchased separately from Greenlance. Not knowing what the issue is, is the reason why I haven't...

    Good morning (just about) all. I unfortunately bear bad news. I will try to be succinct. Last Thursday, about half way through the first part of my commute the bike started losing power and stuttering, despite me pedalling it kept slowing down. That went on for about 3 minutes so I stopped...

    Thank you Wooshie. From my research back then, I only heard good things about both, provided you picked the correct motor for your needs. Duly noted. So it's 36v 260 rpm or 48v 328 rpm for 700c wheels. Would that be the same for 27.5 also? I reiterate this is just an abstract, non urgent plan...

    Sadly I have to agree with you. It's probably just the little boy in me wanting to see what a bike of this kind would be like but it would probably end up being a bad purchase in terms of fit and utility and possibly even maintenance. And I reiterate I don't even like these fat tyre e-bikes...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Because by looking at pictures of said Fiido T1 Pro, it looks like it can be adjusted like most bikes. But upon watching reviews and seeing people in real life as I ride - especially men of taller stature - it doesn't seem to be the case because they all pedal with the same awkward style, with...

    Another update from me: Both my Yose power kit and my Greenlance battery have not missed a beat and have been working faultlessly. Fingers crossed they remain that way. I'm really impressed with them, and pleased with the investment I made. So if there's anyone still on their research phase...

    Battery Fires

    That's what I've been doing with mine, which is why I found it odd. I will re-read the Greenlance instruction sheet tomorrow to make sure I'm not mixing things up.
