Yes I have one. He forgot the programming cable/adapter initially and I've now just received it but he didn't include a link to the software. I've sent him an email asking for a link but I just thought someone might have the link so I don't have to wait. I didn't realise it wasn't publicly...

Does anyone have a link to the Ed Lyen's modified programming software for one of his controllers?

Thanks shemozzle999, I actually spotted these on Thursday and contacted him immediately. He doesn't have any left in stock and recommended I try St John Street Cycles or Avon Vally Cyclery.

Thanks Alan. I'd appreciate any advice/options you can provide.

Thanks Jerry - I appreciate the encouragement. I've just nipped to the local bike shop to enquire about some rims. He stocks the brompton rims but they are of course drilled for 28 holes rather then 36. He has reached out to one of his contacts who might be able to help and he says he'll get...

Well the kit was delivered but the supplied wheel is way too small for my Brompton. It has a 317mm/12.5" diameter rather than the 349mm/13.75" diameter. I think I've fallen into the BSD vs ISO/ERTO standards trap and I'm absolutely gutted. I now don't know what to do as I have a wheel which is...

Well the kit has been in the UK since yesterday morning but won't be delivered until Wednesday because of the holidays. Very frustrating! I decided I don't like the standard grey coloured stem and forks on my bike and am rubbing them down and respraying them black to match the bike. I'm...

Thanks guys. I think I'm going with the Lyen and his controller. I contacted him earlier today and requested the kit. I'm in OZ at the moment on business returning to the UK on Thursday/Friday after being away from my family for a far too long period of two weeks. I'm pi$$ed off with BMSBattery...

Actually - I think I can get the USB-TTL programming adapter for a bit less on ebay: usb to ttl adapter | eBay

Thanks Ben Given this spec of the motor Q85 36V 250W Front Driving V-brake, rim-brake EBike Hub Motor Specification: 1. Voltage: 36V. 2. Brake type: V-brake, rim brake. 3. Fork size: 83mm. 4. Connector: Waterproof Hall Sensor and Sensorless compatible plug. 5. For Hall Sensor and Sensorless...

ok - I've requested the KU123 controller be removed from my order and I've asked Edward Lyen for a quote on a 6x4110 Mini Monster Programmable Controller LYEN Edition shipped to the UK. The costs are certainly adding up now but its less than a Nano I suppose and I'll have a more flexible kit...

I've ordered a cycle analyst which I understand I can use to limit the current.

Thank you all for the explanations but I'm still a little unsure as to why the motor would get burnt with the more powerful controller. Is it because when the motor is under full load up a hill, it continues to pull as much current as it can and if the controller lets it pull too much, that's...

Thanks jhruk. I'd prefer to get the occasional extra speed through running it at 48v. I guess I don't understand the limits/calculations involved here but I'm hoping someone can educate me a little. The motor is rated at 250w and 36v but it's possible to run it at 48v in order to get a little...

Hi jhruk Its the 36v 328rpm version. You've got me worried now. I thought that controller would be ok as I totally missed the last sentence on BMS' site having probably stopped reading at 'It is suitable for all our motors'. I'm not much of an expert on the electrical side so I'd really...

Thanks Dan. I've actually gone ahead and ordered Q85 kit from BMS as recommended by jhruk, an additional KU123 500W controller and a 48V9.5Ah LiFePO4. I've ordered the 328rpm version and I'm now thinking I should have ordered the 201rpm for the better torque. I guess I'll just have to suck it...

Thanks very much for the advice guys. The prospect of a breaking my forks scares the carp* out of me so I'll have a rethink and let you know what I decide.

Hello All I'm Long time lurker, first time poster and I would very must appreciate any advice any of you have to offer. I've had a brompton for a couple of years now and hills are beginning to be a bit of a struggle and I'd like a bit of assistance. My initial thoughts when discovering...
