    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    There's no way to get any voltage on the PAS when it's disconnected, as it has no power supplied to it. There's either something wrong with your measurement or your meter, or do you mean that you measured the connector on the controller with the PAS disconnected? Try removing the blue pin from...

    Need help with a voilamart controller 48v 1000w

    Only buy one that says "max current 26A continuous" or more. The word continuous is important. It won't be a cheap one. Read the listing. It says up to 250w. That's 25% of your 1000w motor.

    Yosepower hub kits.

    You can use the motor wheel, but that's going to work out expensive. KT controllers only work with KT displays, and I'm not sure of the compatibility with that kit's harness. Also, you need to look at your motor cable connectors and cable lengths to make sure that they reach, otherwise you need...

    Help! Himo z20, Fido d4s/d2s or second hand Woosh Rambletta? Budget Folding E-bike advice wanted please!!

    If you want to keep a bike indoors, you can make an ordinary bike very flat and unobtrusive by fitting folding pedals that you can get on Ebay , and, assuming a standard 1 1/8 Ahead type clamping stem, fit quick release screws to the clamp, so that you can turn the handlebars in line with the...

    Problem with my Bafang HD

    Check out the motor connectors in the controller compartment. a loose one would give the symptoms you describe, and so would a dodgy mosfet, so it would be worth testing them while you have the cover off. It's probably also a good idea to make sure that the phase wires aren't nickeds where they...

    Conversion fitters in Liverpool

    I doub't that you'll find anyone. If you do find someone, how will you know if their an expert in bodge? I've seen some terrible conversions done. You should either do it yourself or buy an OEM ebike.

    Need help with a voilamart controller 48v 1000w

    You need a battery with a relatively high discharge rate, which means buying one from a reputable supplier. have a look at Eclipse Bikes batteries. Pay attention to the maximum discharge rate in the listings. Tou can do about 15 miles per 10Ah, so if you want to do 30 miles, you'd need 20ah...

    8 amp charger for a 34 aH battery?

    C is a factor for expressing the current flow rate for a battery based on its capacity: For a 10Ah battery 1C = 1 x 10 =10A For a 20Ah battery 1C = 1 x 20 = 20A For a 5Ah battery 2C = 2 x 5 =10A For a 34Ah battery 0.2C = 0.2 x 34 = 6.8A.

    8 amp charger for a 34 aH battery?

    As a general guideline, you should charge at 0.2c, which would be 7A, so 8A should be fine. If you don't discharge it too far, 5A would be OK too, but would take 7 hours to charge from empty.

    Help! Woosh bike battery, need help with mounting frog battery, somewhere somehow, safely

    Cantilever racks, like the one you suggested are fine at first, but being aluminium and with the weight of the battery flexing them up and down as you go over bumps, they suffer from metal fatigue, which causes cracks then sudden unexpected failure, probably when you're in the middle of nowhere...

    To build or buy? Trying to make a shopping list

    It doesn't make sense to buy a new bike to convert to electric. There are plenty of used ones on Ebay, Gumtree, Scpock, Facebook, etc, which would be substantially cheaper and you won't worry so much when you have to drill or file the frame.

    Crystalyte hub kit on tandem

    Rather than replacing random parts, it would be better to do some tests and measurements to find out what's wrong. If there's no clicking, humming or movement of the motor of any sort do the tests below 1 to 5, otherwise check that the motor connector is all the way in, there's no damage to the...

    Wow just Wow

    Even if you could get one, who's going to fix it when it goes wrong? You'd have to ship it back to Holland, which would be very difficult and expensive. Unless you can fix an electric bike yourself, you have to buy one from a local shop or a mail order company with a proven return service.

    If your hall sensors aren't switching, you can only use a snsorless or dual mode controller.

    There's just one thing wrong with those bikes: When somebody asks you which bike you have, how are you going to pronounce it without them thinking that you're spazzing out? When you start to ride it and get that fixed ebike grin, that's sort of going to confirm to them what they were thinking.
