Photos are ALWAYS a good idea for anyone needing assistance! regards Andy

Which is why you may need to buy some test "clip" connectors on ebay as well, so that you can bridge any connectors that do not "fit". Its a common problemk that some testers do not "fit" all e-bikes..... Regards Andy

It may have a simple wire/cable connection problem, or a sensor problem, both difficult for an amateur to find and isolate! If you are not an avid DIYer (electrically), then you might want to invest in an e-bike tester, which may help further in discovering where the fault may lie. I have...

You need the sharp metal piece ton your lollipop (sounds really unusual!!) to mark his paintwork! regards Andy

I completely believe you, as when I have mentioned in the past, the state of the wiring to colleagues on their e-bike being possibly the (future) source of problems, the same sort of answers come back:- "don't touch a running machine!" or "it works, don't touch!" So I don't! Some of them have...

Maybe I have been just lucky, but I also try and take care of the wiring at all times, and I do not remember a brake cut out problem for a good many years on my own e-bikes. But when I see the state of some e-bike's wiring, all loose and pulled about, it is no surprise to hear that problems can...

Glad I could help, but remember, huge increases in supply voltage can also cause permanent damage in some equipment..... You were very lucky in my view. regards Andy

You may have "over cooked" it with the battery voltage increase, or possibly some safety feature has cut in, because of that voltage increase. Put the original battery back and see if it works again. Some controllers have voltage settings as well, though I have no idea if yours does. best of...

I know how it works, but I don't have to accept being the best system, simply because probably many are simply not fully informed, but IMHO the brake lever cutouts simply work faster, and work, even if you haven't quite managed to stop your feet moving!! I am, like many here, one who manages to...

The higher the charge current, the more early life damage you cause in your battery. So if you want it to last a long time, keep the charge current low, 2 amps max or even less, for the longest life span. You may find this article interesting:-...

Without spending any money, you can only estimate, as several kind folks have already done for you. Job done! regards Andy PS. Those power used devices are not expensive (as already pointed out!), and can generally be used for most mains driven drevices.....and will probably be more accurate...

Other (cheaper) makes are available on ebay. Do not give Swych any money at all. You may even find something better than swych, but certainly far cheaper! regards Andy

I have had working motor cutouts on the brakes of both my e-bikes, and I do prefer it that way for smoothness. When on my first e-bike, a brake lever problem caused me to get a mild shock, when suddenly trying to brake against the motor - never was a problem so swiftly repaired with new brake...

Impressive trailer, power performance and photos. Very well done, the best and most interesing post(s) on Pedelec! Regards and many thanks Andy

Many believe that storing fully charged is not good for the battery. I myself "believe" this, but I haven't seen it to be bad for fully charging, but my batteries are used daily..... The LED on the charger, when showing green, has (at least!) two different meanings:- 1) Fully charged 2) Battery...

Have you kept it at a mid voltage level charge, since you bought it? If its a Li-ion as I believe, they do not like to be ignored for very long periods..... They need to be checked and at least partially charged, say once a month or so.... Yours needed to be kept at say around 34-36 volts...

Insulate the lead tips with insulation tape so that only the last millimeter of the metal tip is visible, as it is easy to create a dangerous short circuit. Make sure that the leads are in the correct holes on the meter. Ask us any question first. No questions are stupid, but sometimes the...

I really hate to be in anyway negative, but rely on the fact that battery problems are never an easy (ish) fix. Sorry to have to say that. But it might be an easy fix if it has nothing to do with the battery, for example, maybe the charger is defective, or a connector somewhere is...

You also need a "Long Vehicle" sign I feel, joke and fact!! You also need a couple of those bike width reflectors on your bike.By the way, you could get your solar cells damaged by one of these idiots!! Maybe move them slightly to the nearside? regards Andy

You need some cheap extra trailer reflectors, on (strong) spring mounts, with a metal (sharp!) edged frame(s), that exceed 2" in extra width, by say 6" at least, both sides. Movable, but not strong enough to deflect the trailer. A few scratches on his car may may him more careful in the...
