Yes +1 for what @Nealh says

Before I needed the assistance of a motor to continue cycling, I had a variety of unassisted bikes, each with it's own characteristics and it was a pleasure to have the different bikes to enjoy in different ways so why when going 'e' should it be any different? My first ebike (a TSDZ2...

Hi @Woosh I love the simplicity of that freehub body but out of interest, how do the torque signals and PAS sensor signals get to the controller that is housed in the battery compartment? Is it via bluetooth or other wireless method or is the speed sensor connection in the multi-way motor cable...

When attempting to understand the meaning of the various KT controller settings I trawled through this forum and Endless Sphere and from my notes made at the time, wrote down my understanding of C12 settings. As can be seen from the extract below (for which I can't quote the ultimate source)...

Durgh - silly me - Spec Savers tomorrow then :rolleyes:

Ah, I see - I have had 'ignore' against that particular member for a long time now - inane comments tend to get up my nose but each to their own of course.

Hi Peter, apologies if I missed it, but you haven't put a price on the listing.

That's understandable but TBH in the absence of the necessary knowledge that is most likely why you were unable to get the X35 motor working rather than the motor won't work with a KT controller. I had a not too dissimilar experience when I acquired a Swytch front hub motor from a dissatisfied...

Hi @stevebry I don't know if you've seen the YT vid by 'Ebike repairs' (link) in that after Mahle X35 problems he successfully re-used the rear hub motor (although some in the comments were unsuccessful) - without know the motor parameter like the number of magnets plus the type of PAS sensor...

As I understand it this stems from BS EN 15194 which is the European and British Standard for EPACS and defines the max voltage for an EPAC as 48v, thus running a bike at 52v puts it outside the definition so if riding a nominal 52v machine then it's an electric motor bike I'd think. But I'm...

Good to know - I had the 'slipping clutch' symptom on a TSDZ2 as per the vid. I was able to press in a replacement, no problem BUT still the same slipping. Turned out to be the cassette free hub was knackered just as @saneagle had mentioned up thread.

I've read through your listing and just a few constructive comments if I may (all with a view to helping you sell): The big thing with any used ebike (kit in this case) is the potential buyer needs to factor in the possibility of having to buy a new battery In the Cytronex C1 case, a new...

I think the vid has been published early and was meant for release on 1st April :rolleyes: . Somewhere in that vid the inventor says something about an ebike that 'you shouldn't have to recharge it'. So even as a basic principle if you are getting power somewhere in the ride to assist then...

That's a shame in that you can't walk away now as I'd also recommend you or anyone spending that sort of money to consider the kit from boostbike.uk whose rear wheel conversion 'contains' the PAS sensor in the motor so just one cable between the battery and motor. There is an option for a...

Silicon lubricant makes pushing plugs/sockets together easier but given that silicon grease has electrical insulation properties, any application on plugged connectors needs to be applied carefully I'd have thought?
