    Is it me or the bike..?!

    The pedleton uses a basic simple speed controller with simple pedal assist vs the more sophosticated torque censor controlled input. The pendleton will deliver max current up to the speed cut off so will waft anyone along with ease, the TS cube is the opposite and is dependant on the rider...

    Want to learn to restore batteries. Where to start?

    If the case is aspecific type or one that one can't find to replace then yes one can simply recell the case. As to whether the BMS is worth reusing is dependant on the cause of any cell failure. If they drained then the BMS might be at fault.

    Bezoir XF200

    Some unscrupulous dealers will sya anything to make a sale, some dont't understand the law and will claim anything. If it is a 1kw bike derated to 250w then it is illegal and so any derating has no effect on it's rated power. Simply the motor must be rated at a max 250w, however it doesn't...

    Review of Argos £245 E-move folder

    This spring I swapped out a brain power controller for 17a KT from a similar rack battery with controller in the front section (As all are ). The only wiring I had to solder /change was the brake cut offs and the battery bullets. With KT if one uses a KT supplied PAS/Throttle , they are plug...

    Swytch Battery Questions

    IMHO any cell sub 2v is scrap , high IR and teriible sag can be expected. Above 2v and one may be ok mothering them for other uses such as torches or in a small power bank. What ever switch were thinking of using 1p of 50e, god only knows. That config is sure to fail fairly soon. For that...

    With a KT upgrade one could extend that 22/23 mile range to over 30 . The speed controller will draw mostly max current up until the max speed for each level, with a KT one would have to ride in PAS 5 contantly. Ride in PAS 1 or 2 with KT and one is drawing 13/20% max.

    How much battery sag is too much for a 3 year old battery?

    Fully charging to 4.2v per cell isn't an issue , it is the leaving them at that level for prolonged periods without use. All my batteries are fully balance charged a few hours before use.

    Swytch Battery Questions

    1p of 50e cells isn't cutting the mustard, they are only rated for 10a and one ideally doesn't want to draw more then 6.5/7a from them for longevivty. One will need at least a 20a if not a 25a /30a cell for a 1p config. One will have to use Fogstar retail if only buying ten cells as the...

    conversion kit

    One could use a thumb throttle or twist action throttle, though they are illegal it is highly unlikely as a disabled person one would be prosecuted. Beware though that some plod forces may confiscate the bike if caught or my get a way with a warning. To be legal one can have the bike put thru...

    Review of Argos £245 E-move folder

    One reason why I didn't bother ordering one, after one ride I would have had to rip out the the elctronic system for a prorper one and replace all with KT. Speed control I find aweful.

    bafang suddenly cut out today

    Magnet gap is critical and can cause cut outs. Better still buy a nice reliable TSDZ2/8 , I have had more reliability from mine then a BBS.

    Batteyr replacement will be easy , they are generic so simply buy any battery with a integrated docking unit or upgrade all with a Kt controller system .

    How much battery sag is too much for a 3 year old battery?

    My pair of 14.5ah Dolphins ex Woosh celled 29E's are now in their 10th year , both still capable and used for power on my centrifuge honey extractor . I use them lightly now and only draw 4.2a max but they will see me at least another three or four years.

    Battery Fires

    The locked systems will just mean more land fill junk, us sensible guys won't bother with it. Us sensible knowledgable ones will simply continue as we are and ignore the nanny state, we will continue building safe bikes /batteries as we have done so for the last 10 -15 years or so.

    Battery Fires

    Before lion batteries I was running multi lipo set up's and they were far more volatile then lion. d8veh and many others likely the same. I was running 12 lipo packs or more in parallel and series to get the voltage and WH's I required.

    Battery Fires

    You guys running BBS mid motors will see more comm's restriction before hub kits. The main issue with kit /battrey fires is as we know the dodgy set ups we all see from the fast food boat riders we see riding around. 25 /30 mph with no pedalling , riding paths and constantly red...

    I doubt it , unless all of the china producers fall in line to keep the UK & EU happy, their biggets market is USA and other countries who have little ebike restriction.

    Battery Fires

    They will have to legislate to ban any kit bikes or alter the EAPC legislation to do so. Those who already have kits will be unaffected as any legislation will be post dated so us guys will simply buy or make sure we have spares pre any legislation that might take effect. It simply won't...
