The bit about separate controllers dangling in a bag is not true. There are plenty of ways to make a neat controller installation. Also, it's possible to get Chinese kits with the controller integrated into the battery case. These controllers are a standard fitment with more or less standard...

For a DC motor, torque is proportional to current, so you control the torque with how much current you give the motor. The cheapo controllers use speed control on the PAS, which gives maximum power when you set off regardless of the PAS setting. The torque simulation ones have adjustable...

I'm sorry, i can't agree with that at all. These cheap bikes are fine and they don't need frequent adjustments or anything like that. The two examples I'm talking about are both very old and have probably had no maintenance in their entire life. Caliper brakes are horrible on any bike and always...

This is about non-electric bikes, but could equally apply to elctric bikes. My surrogate daughter and her husband both have cheap MTBs - the type with that pogo rear suspension and a Y shaped frame that you can buy new from Argos for £140. His had a bent crank, which stopped the derailleur from...

That's a bespoke item. I'm surprised Gocycle can't help you because you won't get one anywhere else. Who did you talk to at Gocycle?

There are loads to choose from. The things you should look out for are. 1. How long the battery lasts or whether you can record while charging. 2. Resolution should be at least 2K 3. Image stabilisation. 4. How to fit it to your bike. 5. Waterproof. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get...

Get a new one or any other KT LCD that takes your fancy.

Show us what it looks like.

Yes, it's out of the way.

If it really is locked, you can buy a replacement, which will be unlocked. How did you try to access the settings?

You can turn the cap screw to any torque you want. You can even strip the thread. It makes absolutely no difference if the stem is still clamped

Why didn't you repair the switch if it was faulty?

Air forks make a big difference to front suspension and a Suntour NCX seatpost should look after your rear. fitting those two would be a lot cheaper than changing bikes. You can usually find plenty of suitable used air forks on Ebay. Ones for 26" wheels are very cheap now because of the fassion...

For rides like that, a slower wound hub-motor would be better. At 40 amps, something like 240 rpm would work really well. What speed and voltage does it have?

Just in case you don't know, it's illegal for anyone under 14 years old to ride an electric bike anywhere except private land with the owner's permission, which makes all other points of legality moot.

Which Chinese supplier?

You haven't told us anything useful about which bike you have. There are a lot of different Pro Rider bikes. If its the old type with a brushed (2 wires) motor, you've blown a mosfet in the controller.

If the LCD goes off, it's a battery connection issue, in which case realign the contacts in the folding hinge. If the LCD stays on, check that the motor connector is in all the way to the marked line and that the gap between the pedal sensor and the magnet disc is an even 1 mm.

Or the motor cable damaged or the controller wires melted.
