    Charging

    The best way is to find the individual cell model numbers and bms model number. For instance mine are Samsung 30Q cells which allow 4A max charge rate. Theres 6 in paralell so 4x6 = 26A max. However the BMS also needs to be able to supply the full 26A. My BMS is a JBD 80a model. Next is a matter...

    3-D Printer

    They can be had for £400-600 and just work. by that logic no one should press a button on anything they cannot fix.

    3-D Printer

    With bambu labs entering the market recently, 3d printing is more accessible than ever. Their printers are nearly as easy to use as inkjet printers! and are much faster at printing than anything we have seen before. You might want to consider one. Otherwise, be prepared for lots of maintenance...

    3-D Printer

    The problem with PLA is its very low glass transition temperature. lf you ever leave it in a warm car etc it will deform the part massively. I find printing ABS to be the most versatile. It has a high glass transition temperature. Superglue welds parts together seamlessly so its easy to join...

    Cruise control and retrofitting a throttle to a 2014 ebike legally?

    Excellent, thank you ever so much for this :-) Ill do just that! So the only reason to go down the L1e-a 250W LPM route would be if in the future i bought a more modern bicycle and wanted to power it solely via a throttle. :-) (Which i may do at a later date)

    Cruise control and retrofitting a throttle to a 2014 ebike legally?

    Still tempted to go down the L1e-a 250W LPM route too, just for the certificate in case the police try to take it off me due to ignorance of the law. When they seized my scooter i asked them what they look for with ebikes, they said a throttle.

    Cruise control and retrofitting a throttle to a 2014 ebike legally?

    I haven't had a good look at the controller yet. Im guessing i should be able to replace it with something similar, or programmable vesc. Legally i should keep it until 200w to remain legal, but i might bump it up to 250w. As long as i stick to the restricted speed limits i doubt they would ever...

    Cruise control and retrofitting a throttle to a 2014 ebike legally?

    Hello all, id like some advice please. I bought a pre 2015 small ebike, and its labelled as only 200w. So it seems to comply with the 1983 law. I have a few questions. 1) The bike goes into a cruise mode after pedalling for about 10 second, so i don't have to pedal once im up to speed. Is...
