    Confused by Mudguards...

    Mudhuggers fit without stays and have a useful downward-facing lip at the front. @saneagle how have your stem levers worked out in practice? Have they seen much use, any unforeseen niggles? Are there weaknesses to look out for in some stems? They look OEM!

    Confused by Mudguards...

    Perhaps your front mudguard is set too high off the tyre? As a point on the tyre reaches 12 o'clock it's travelling forward, the water's flung forward and meets the mudguard at 10 past twelve if the mudguard's close or 1 o'clock if it isn't. So if your mudguard stops at 12 o'c but sits way off...

    E-Bike Type Approval

    Think what'll happen to your face if a blinded dog walker calls their dog back but can't see to control it and it takes you down, possibly injuring the dog. Hint, I don't mean gravel rash. Sorry if you were trying to be funny with not a grain of truth in it. Getting better acceptance of...

    Installing a USB Socket on eBike 52V Battery

    I like your first idea much better, the cheap one isn't water resistant, has unprotected wiring etc. Fuses can compromise as much as protect. Stuff that shorts often fuses itself - cable damage is more of a risk. You need a blanking plug for the second XT60 socket when it's not in use. The...

    Hall sensor connection

    When the wheel has twitched does the power display frame flash (p12 of the manual)? Both the battery and the halls seemed to be flaky connection issues, not ideal for your 3 wires x 36 permutations tests. If both brake levers act one way in one controller connector and another way in the other...

    Hall sensor connection

    Just checking... Wouldn't walk assist help to get it working regardless of PAS and throttle settings or connections, even with PAS level 0? Or does it already respond to walk assist? I assume brake sensors are never NC are they?

    Hall sensor connection

    For now check the +/- power bullets on the controller resist a good wiggle (and re-test bike), re-visit if sequencing the phases doesn't help. Whatever size matches your battery should be OK and fitting new ones is easier than testing. That's because a poor contact can make the voltage dip at...

    Hall sensor connection

    Probably harmless but when the motor's fixed this should really be fixed too, because battery.

    Hall sensor connection

    You wrote "pressed walk assist...little man appeared on the display and then a slight noise from the motor as if it's trying then error code 03 appeared". Walk assist is nice as no sensor plugs are involved. It does sound like hall sequence, but if it isn't here are some pre-canal rites to...

    Hall sensor connection

    If the above doesn't nail it, a very long shot but voltage dip on load can give confusing symptoms. Was the battery weirdness explained, is the battery ancient? Does the bike still have all its grunt with the old controller? Is there any kind of enable connection on the new controller other...

    Some advice needed please...

    It would be less efficient and draw more current at normal pedal speed if it were driven at the new voltage, but then being a more powerful 48V system it would accelerate. To do the same work (climb at the same steady speed) as with the 36V battery you'd ease off until the motor operates at the...

    I am looking for a partner to produce an add-on torque sensor for the BBS01

    Ditching the usual assist levels has transformed my bike but for the rest.... Can you talk about functionality and benefits?

    I am looking for a partner to produce an add-on torque sensor for the BBS01

    "If I could sort out the sensors' inferface, anyone can write their own code using arduino tutorials or micropython to drive the PAS and throttle signals. There is no need to change the OEM firmware." Isn't this the low hanging fruit? The forum's full of ideas we'd like to try out if only...

    Some advice needed please...

    So long as memory itself doesn't disappear with it you're OK :) Less battery current it's true. With the motor doing the same climb and speed as before, it's getting the same phase current as before and just as hot, with the controller converting as needed according to the battery voltage...

    I am looking for a partner to produce an add-on torque sensor for the BBS01

    The throttle will expect 1.5 to 4.2V (and provide a 5V supply) and Micropython would certainly make life easy but I don't think there's a 5V MP board right now. I'd go with a XIAO and maybe pick the RP2040 version until MP on the SAMD21 is mature. A 5V PWM output using a FET would work for...

    Help! Street Machine GT conversion

    It's the same with my SMGT... I had Benjahmin's SMGT in mind when suggesting he try the fingertip test:

    Help! Street Machine GT conversion

    The T~ logo is for Terracycle, an Aladdin's cave for trike fittings. You can probably slide the grip down without cutting it, but unlike a trike the SMGT has banana shaped grips that you rest on lightly. Hence the cable being on the front side, and then having the mirror's bar end below the...

    Can we take a look at your side, is there a cutout for the cable like this? Oh and Congratulations!

    @saneagle: thanks for clarifying, with this many variables your experience with AKM is indeed what matters. @Benjahmin: would this PAS mounting work for you? (Not my bike)
