    controller replacement advice wanted.

    My life history would be far more exciting I can assure you, even the censored version without the pictures! The controller is ancient, has a Dutch label on it. Kit may well be around 2010. DD motor works on the throttle, pedal assist doesn't work. Can a throttle be fitted to a KT...

    V-Brakes grabbing question

    If you are replacing the brakes, try magura hydraulic rim brakes, I recently swapped the v brakes on my hybrid for maguras sourced on eBay. There are some copies available too, as well as s/h ones.

    Supplementary Battery Question

    I'm trusting that that is the case, cheap enough mistake if not. I just saw something very similar on fleabay for £139!
