That looks like a 6-speed freewheel. Instead of unscrewing the complete unit you have removed the lock ring and inadvertently disassembled it - hence the ball bearings falling out. The part that is still on the wheel needs removing anticlockwise. There is a video here about removing...

I asked Yosepower a while ago about the AKM95 motors that they supply. They said their 95RS 350w freewheel motor is 230rpm with 4.4 gear ratio. Their 95RX 350w cassette motor is 240rpm with 8.15 gear ratio. The 95RX 250w cassette motor is 205 rpm with 8.15 ratio. From that I concluded that RX...

Yosepower kits are very good value for money. I fitted 250w. and 350w. rear kits on my bikes. The 250w. is restricted to the legal 15.5mph and throttle to 6km. Top speed and throttle can be configured on the 350w. Top speed was in the region of 23mph, although I don't ride that fast anyway. In...

It looks like the display in the kit is LCD5, but they sell others separately. I just bought the controllers and got an LCD3 and the new KT-TF01 from Topbikekit - mainly because their KT displays have a longer waterproof connector cable than from others - which suits my handlebars better. I...

I bought my KT controllers from PSW power:- https://www.pswpower.com/products/kt-kunteng-electric-bicycle-motor-ebike-controller-24v-36v-48v-250w-500w-1000w-brushless-dc-sine-wave-sensor-controller-331 The waterproof Julet plug versions have a 3-pin plug for rear and brake lights. I have...

I bought a set of Zoom HB-775E hydraulic brakes from Aliexpress. These come with cut-out sensors already fitted. https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006310208557.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.15.7a431802qOlrON&gatewayAdapt=glo2vnm The above is just a random link as I can't access my...

The Boardman appears to have a longer stem, which will make the reach longer and make the handling different. You could swap the stems over and see how it feels then?

I'll be very interested to see what the forks are like. Been searching for a 26" wheel rigid disc fork with a 1" steerer for some time without success.

Yes, I am consciously aware that fitting a hub motor accelerates rim wear when using rim brakes. Unfortunately the bike I mentioned above is a 90's Giant steel framed MTB so I'm stuck with v-brakes. I deliberately use the front brake only most of the time as it's easier to replace the front...

I'm running 26" x 2" Schwalbe Big Apple tyres on one of my bikes that has a Yosepower rim on the rear and a 19mm front rim. Pressures for both at 35psi and not had any problems in over 500miles. Easily the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

Yes indeed, and it is the potential difference in interpretation without a definitive, unambiguous legal statement that concerns me if engaging with a uniformed human life form! :confused:

Exactly, so where is there a comprehensive definition of throttles and "walk assist" function?

It's still not crystal clear though - at least to me anyway. It doesn't refer specifically to conversions, but my converted bikes don't have a "plate", and the Yosepower motors do not have the maximum speed marked on them, so they don't comply? The section on throttles is vague. It's obvious...

You haven't said if your Yose 350w motor is a freewheel or freehub (cassette). The freewheel version number should start with AKM95RS....... and the cassette version AKM95RX...... - They are geared differently. The Yose UK website lists clutch and gear assemblies for both versions, although...

I have a Topeak D2 pressure gauge, an XLC track pump with a gauge built in and an old Smiths all-metal dial pressure gauge that belonged to my father. The Smiths gauge would have been expensive when new (early 1960's) and is capable of being calibrated. The Topeak and Smiths are within 2-3 psi...
