    Higher watts advantages?

    If one wants to reduce the C5 value then one needs to know which calcs the LCD uses. Older firmware LCD's decrease current by 0.5a for each lower value chosen up to 5a max , newer firmware LCD's use a % value and can decrease current by 50%. If using PAS 4 or 5 , then decreasing current...

    Higher watts advantages?

    One doesn't need to sacfifice any up hill grunt to save battery power atbh it is here where one does need the extra oomph , the motor will be happier with more power up hill as long as one isn't riding too slowly. Use the lowest PAS level one can manage with. Typically this the the power one...

    Higher watts advantages?

    Greater wattage means more power if one can supply that power by current, downside is battery needs to be able to deliver the extra current /power. Most 250w motors can handle 1kw if not abused. With greater voltage one can use less current, less current is less heat. 48v /36v equals 33% more...

    Was your other display a KT LCD 7 ? Personally I doubt it as KT Kuenteng rarely use TS PAS.

    Ebike battery renewal

    KT LCD7 display is only compatible with KT controller. Does your bike system use a KT controller ? Fwiw the lcd display is not a controller , it is a display. A switch which sends and receieves signals form the main controller.

    Ebike controller wiring

    S usually is an indicator to speed or speed sensing. Can be restriction , motor signal, PAS , brake or throttle related. Various boards use differing S indicators so ideally one would need to show a pic of the board . #2 as said is 100% correct.

    KT controller compatibility with Mahle

    If the hub has the same julet 9 pin connector then most motors should work, one isn't guaranteed wire matching colour will be 100% though I have had no issues with Bafang , AKM, MXUS and other hubs . If a motor doesn't run 100% then one has to go thru the 36 possible motor/hall combos to find...

    Drum brake

    Mike Burrows designs were unique , all his designs used the single sided axle versions and as time went on they becames scarcer to procure so he stopped his production at about 100 units . Also his halfway folder and other designs used the same brake type. Minimilist and lightweight was his...

    Drum brake

    There not common, Mike Burrows liked them because they were simple & pretty much uncomplicated and needed no adjustment. He used them on many of his designs and the 8 freight comes to mind. Issue though is they haven't caught on and spares are hard to find for some of them, Sturmey...

    Help with square wave 36v 15a kt controller

    By the way if you are not careful you will wipe out the display and likely the controller as well if those bare wire connections short each other.

    Help with square wave 36v 15a kt controller

    Hello Monov and welcome, One doesn't connect the throttle to the display, the controller should have it's own throttle connector, uusally wired red/black/blue. Red/white/black is for wheel spd sensor & brown/black/yellow for PAS. If you don't have the throttle wiring then it is likely not...

    ALWAYS REPORT SCUM DRIVERS

    Matthews sticky out thing is just a piece of foam pipe insulation. On one of his rides the plod spoke to him after some knob in car reported him because of it. The thing is if folks think it is solid or will scratch there metal tin they will keep their distance so the illusion of it is...

    No idea , very strange. All I can think is to disconnect the display and reconnect later on.

    Bike Locks

    My Oxford cable one has lost 80% of the outer covering from UV deg, the s/s braided linked outer is nice and shiny, the lock is still a deterrent when used with others as it adds more security to get thru. For the price it looks and feels a good deterrent, quite a heavy chunky cable lock...

    Bike Locks

    I now have two heavy duty D locks and this heavier duty cable lock, as has been said it is about deterring and passing/waiting scum should turn their attention to easier targets. I have no issue carrying the three locks if I need them as they go in the panniers , all my trips under 2 or 3...

    For Sale Bargains

    Rear C of G is too high to be considered a stable cargo bike , ok with larger rear panniers. I still think Mike Burrows 8 freight is the best design low down C of G , would be immense if one could add a tow hitch. Someone had a BBS01 converted so one expects a tsdz would fit as well.

    There’s merit in having small batteries. Don’t necessarily go large…

    P28A is a nice cell and a 25a rating not to be sniffed at. Other cells one could consider are; Sinowatt 30SP 15a rated , Sam 30Q gives 12% more run time though is some what dearer. For those on a tight budget then there are three cells that are under £2 a pop. Sinowatt 25SP 20A nearly as good...
