    Front hub motor with suspension forks.

    Thete are a lot of different types of forks. Some strong and some weak. You have to tell us or show us which ones you have. If you have a choice, always fit a rear motor It's safer and gives a more pleasant ride. If you have decent front suspension, you can ruin it by putting a heavy motor...

    I wonder what the professional training was. Maybe they would rather spend time training their staff in customer satisfaction rather than doing customer satisfaction.

    Anderson adapter

    Not difficult. All you have to do is join three wires in the right sequence and thread the cable through in the right direction. All you do is cut 2" off your outer somewhere and replace it with the sensor the right way round. You normally need a new inner because the frayed end won't pass...

    Suntour hesc freehub body replacement/repair advice

    You should search Endless-sphere for threads about running those controllers on 52v. I know there were some problems in the beginning. nothing burned, but the software didn't work right. I can't remember the details. I can't see 60v being OK, unless you switch to the open source firmware, which...

    8fun hub motor making clicking sound

    it won't do any harm. That gear sort of noise you get at high load and low rpm is the commution (controller pulses). You solve that with a sine-wave controller.

    In that case, there's a fair chance you can wire a throttle to the three wires instead.

    Q100cst from BMS. I requested the 201rpm motor but they have sent the 328rmp motor

    At 36v, it'll only be OK if you power it above 15 mph. Below that it'll definitely overheat the controller because I tried it. if you're forced to use it, you'd have to go down to 24v, which would change it to 230 rpm, but then you'd need a 20 amp controller and I don't know of any decent 20A...

    Controller for viking freedom ebike

    Everything is as it should be, but for whatever the reason, the controller doesn't seem to be getting the instruction to send power to the motor. That could be because it's not receiving the PAS signal or there's something wrong with the software. I can't see either of these problems coming for...

    No, they just make a lot of mistakes in their listings, especially ebike stuff. it'll be great if you get a cassette motor.

    Controller for viking freedom ebike

    In the means that your pedal sensor is probably working, but we can't say definitely. We now know that your motor works, the pedal sensor probably works, you motor cable is OK and properly connected, the controller has power and it's switched on and it's powered the 5v rail for the pedal sensor...

    KT sine wave controller- how to make unrestricted??

    It's because he had no wheel speed sensor and or the wrong setting for P2, which should be 0 for no wheel sensor, 1 if there is one or the motor has a single magnet one inside the hub, or 6 if the motor has 6 magnets. If the hub has a speed sensor, there will be the qhite wire in the motor...

    Yes, loads. There are other motors to, some of which are better. You don't see Bafang motors in kits these days. they're more OEM. Most of the resellers deal in smaller quantities so buy the motors from factories that make clones. If your kit is this one, the close up of the motor shows a...

    Where there's a will theres a way. Incidentally, it is possible to fit the kit's pedal sensor on your bike to the left side crank as long as you have a 68mm bottom bracket, which you probably have. Assuming that you have a normal 25mm Hollowtech crank, You take the crank off and remove any...

    It's a KT controller, so no problem. You can forget about brake switches if you want. If your pistons/calipers are knackered and you want to replace the brakes, those ones with switches above might be worth a punt - definitely better than cable ones. The kit looks OK, but it wouldn't surprise...

    8fun hub motor making clicking sound

    OK, it's a freewheel, not a cassette, which makes things a bit easier. I see it's 8 speed, which is a bit unusual. You should replace it with only a DNP freewheel that has an 11 tooth top gear, which will give much more comfortable pedalling at high speed. That's unless you have an extra large...

    Your hope brakes are the best thing about your bike. it seems a shame to have to replace them, especially for cable disc brakes, which are generally pretty useless. It sounds like you haven't bought the best kit for what you need. A cassette motor kit only costs a few quid more and would have...

    These type of hall sensors supplied with 5v would give 2.5v when no magnets are around. When you apply a S magnet pole, it pulls it down to 1.2v and when you apply a N pole it pulls it up to 3.8v. Look at your magnet arrangement or better still, show us some photos. The contoller normally would...

    Controller for viking freedom ebike

    OK, I'm with Neal on this one. Let's make simple steps. I'm just changing the words a bit to make it nice and clear: 1. Your bike should have brake a brake sensor on either or both the brakes, in which case a wire will come out of the brake somewhere. Follow each one until you come to a...
