Me...... I think not...... but I have been known tgo be wrong before lol Power both wheels, i'm having trouble figuring out how to power one wheel! All i intend doing is just to test the new wheel to see if it works, after that I can go about seeing what I battery and controller I need to go...

Be kind.... I am still learning! Right so if I disconnect the wires from my rear wheel in my bike controller, put the new wheel on the front and connect the controller to that it should test it?

The controller has all those things yes, throttle etc. I had thought of doing something like that to be honest but it's a front wheel motor my bike is rear wheel motor so no that will work. That's why I was asking is there any way to test "off bike" I have another spare controller, 36v Actually...

That does help yes, the DC part, thanks. I have a controller, would I then be able to test with my24v battery on my bike, or would I need more parts? I was not getting confused, just mistaken, I thought frog batteries had the controller in the casing with the battery, I was wrong. Thanks again.

Right thanks. As to earlier. Is there any way I can test this new wheel before I start paying out for parts to match it, just to see if it even turns. I have my cyclomatic 24v bike could i use the battery from that just to test, bearing in mind what connections I would need. Or any other way to...

Ok What about when they connect to the controller, the wires on even that are thicker?

Just one more thing. As I mentioned much earlier I got this wheel off ebay cheap, new but cheap. Just looking at the of wiring coming from the motor, it appears very thin, compared to even my cyclomatic 24v bike. That includes the phase wires and the sensor wires, any thoughts? This is just...

Oh dear, My apologies for thinking I was replying to d8veh, think it's past my bedtime! And thanks for the advice.

Thanks, I thought you said the motor wires did not match? Anyway looks like the frog battery idea is a non runner, I would have to raise the seat post and I am too small! Will have to be a rack type battery. Thanks again.

Sorry but if you could clarify a little please. Do you mean cut off the connectors from the new wire end and also from the motor end then solder each of the five small wires colour to colour then solder the other phase wires colour to colour. I could do it just need to be clear that's what you...

Sorry, Cut which ends off? The lead end? Lead and motor ends? Solder all the wires together? How would they connect? Keep in mind you know what you are talking about lol

Just two things if i may. 1. I thought frog batteries had the controller inside? 2. Did you happen to look at my two pictures of the wheel on the previous page, it has the motor wire, 60cm As I am starting from scratch my first thought was, because of the shape of the bike to use the frog but...

Thanks D8, My initial thoughts were correct then, asking how to connect the battery. You have given me the answer I was searching for, thanks. If, for example I bought a frog battery, and this being a front wheel motor with only 60cm of cable what do you think I would need, bearing in mind the...

That's it I got it. I was not clear if the battery would come with the 2 wires to connect the battery-pack to the controller. Now it all makes sense, finally! Thanks everyone.

Thanks for your patience. My cyclomatic is rear wheel motor. The cable from the wheel connects then to another cable which I always assumed was going to the battery. The battery then has the controller housing underneath where then ALL connections are made. I am just trying to compare that to...

I am missing the point somewhere. When I connect all the power leads and hall sensor from the bike cable supplied with the wheel to the controller where does the cable from the battery to connect the power to the motor come from..... Sorry for being an idiot

Thanks, I get all that but when I get a battery they don't come with a cable, do they? so how do I connect the battery to the controller, don't worry I will have you confused before long lol

Good advice. To Fred there will be no chainsaw activity anytime soon. The reason I started this thread is because I was thinking of using my normal bike to convert to ebike. I have just bought a new 36v wheel 9.5 amp 250 watt new off ebay and am now searching for a 36v battery. The wheel was...

Well, you won't believe this..... I had been looking at utube videos of guys making their own batteries from lithium batteries soldered together. Bright spark that I am (no pun intended) I thought I could break the casing on this and the two others I have and use the batteries inside to do the...

Ooooops! Thought it was a brand name, I got a very, very long way to go!
