It's reported the Alfine 11 isn't all that robust with mid-drives. I'd use saneagle's method but add a capacitor to ramp up the torque until it's just enough, as set by a trim pot, and of course brake sensors. Can you give us an idea of what you can operate most easily and whether you'd find a...

I thought you only had to look at them....?

I think it's sensible to discuss the fires we see in the media and what we think are the best responses to them. It's easy for some to abuse the present situation for competitive ends and promote needless restrictions, we should make our voices heard just now.

Of course, the Lithium extinguisher's in the pannier, wrapped in the glassfibre blanket. That's just weird though isn't it? Speed sensor idle > 0.5s => cut out, what have I missed? Maybe the flimsy battery extension has saved my controller by restricting phase current, it's certainly survived...

I stand corrected! I'd assumed all controllers would behave like mine, detect a stalled motor and cut out (it's programmed to after a second, it's not due to overheating).

Cutoffs are also meant to be a safety feature in the event of a throttle stuck open fault through rain ingress etc, although I imagine most people would have the braking strength to overcome the motor.

@flecc That was my understanding too so I'm sorry to dredge up this old chestnut but it makes me nervous. What do you make of this line from the policy in the context of an offer to insure, where it seems to exclude all retailed electric bikes? Myself I'd ask the broker to get the insurer to...

Perhaps that's the nub of it. Many people just want the theft not to have happened and the nearest thing is to get back the bike they know, preferably with their accessories, carefully chosen or no longer available. Insurers deduct excess, they can make lame offers for current value, disregard...

To be fair Backpedal was described as a bike recovery service, the new for old element is Wisper's unique offer to replace if not recovered. Insurance terms are never good reading. Would @Wisper be willing to accumulate clarifications from the insurers and provide them when offering the...

@saneagle You hit the nail on the head there! Which controller brands / sellers / listings have been OK and don't have these delays?

Good luck and let us know how it goes, I can't be the only one with the exact same problem.

Other than Luna (~ £100) and similarly priced ones on AliExpress, and the excellent Satiator (~ £250), you could ask a favour of this seller: 48v Adjustable (97% 90% 80% and storage charge) (1AMP to 3.9AMP) Fanless waterproof ebike charger. He's basically giving them away (I'd offer more) and...

Easier still is to reduce your 2A charger output to 80% with a couple of diodes, no time estimation needed. They'll need a heatsink and a switch to short them for a full charge, which is preferable because fast charging shortens battery life. Fast chargers make most sense at cafe stops I...

Piccy? Heard and believed but still curious.

:D:D Just enter the desired quantity of the fuel you need, and we'll package it up and send it to you in the post, first class, delivered straight through your letterbox. No hassle. No worries. Unleaded Petrol (95 RON) @60p/litre [____]

"i may have both 36 and 48v batteries".... you'd need 55V to 29V. Woosh suggested this style and it's been reliable in all weather: 48V/60V(10V~60V) to DC5V 10A 50W Waterproof Power Converter Regulator Are you sure the controller won't come out of the sled and expose a take-off point near the...

Lots of good bike info upthread, and then there's the rider. If road rash at 22mph isn't pretty, at 30mph you've twice the energy to dispose of even without impacts, so really you need better but sweatier gear. What he said:

This might help: link. " I also tried replacing the batteries in the Purion [snip] (also verified healthy batteries with a multimeter)" If that's the issue the On button probably works while the display's lit up.

I think the key thing is that it's intermittent and seems centred on starting up time. I don't know Bosch stuff but I'd suspect the On button itself, or possibly the display cradle contacts if the display's removable or the display to controller plug/s. Some spray contact cleaner on all the...

(Obligatory advice to don washing up gloves when opening an unplugged charger in case of stored mains voltage.)
