Was the order shipped from China? The links posted above look like genuine UK stock, so likely will be quick delivery.

It's the CAv3 you need, NOT v2. Firmware v3.1+ is highly desirable due to improved ease of configuration. Make sure it either has v3.1 preinstalled, or includes a programming cable so you may update the firmware yourself.

Yes, that is correct. For further information, see the following post over at Endless Sphere: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=62809

A Cycle Analyst does require that a controller features a specific 6-pin CA connector, but this connector can be added to any controller if you're handy with a soldering iron and not afraid of a little DIY.

Kinda looks like an over expensive Grin Phaserunner (also ASI BAC800): https://www.ebikes.ca/c-phaserunner.html I know which I'd rather spend my own money on. Even adding a Cycle Analyst works out cheaper and I imagine would give a much more flexible setup.

At risk of sounding somewhat of a pedant, a lithium chemistry charger will never output what is commonly known as a “trickle charge”. Due to the CC/CV nature of a lithium charge profile, the charging current will always taper off to zero if the charger is not switched off, or disconnected from...

This thread is a great example of "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing". Andy, are you aware that the majority of advice that you offer on this forum is at best, out-of-date and at worst, just plain wrong?

Hey folks. I've made a small batch of combination 2 button digital aux input & 3 position auxiliary input switches for Cycle Analyst V3.1. Please note that this switch requires that the Cycle Analyst is running firmware version 3.1 or above. If anyone is interested, they are available for...

If legality is a concern, you'll also have to conform to a 15.5mph assisted limit. /fun FYI, 250W stickers are available if you catch my drift...

Traders on Alibaba will likely not be interested in discussing business with you if you only require a single frame. Try Aliexpress for single quantities and a better indication of the landed price. I don't think you are a long way off with your estimate, more in the £1500+ region.

Short answer - no. The 68USD price depends on a MOQ (minimum order quantity) of 50 frames (just the frame, mind you - doesn't include any additional components) and doesn't include shipping. You're probably looking at closer to 150USD for a single frame and then add the same again for shipping...

Real limit?... How big are your balls? If you're building the bike, the limit is what your budget will allow (ignoring legal limits of course). You need to define either your budget, or your requirements. Deciding on one will sort of decide the other for you. I wouldn't get too hung up on top...

Mid-drives tend to require a chain replacement around every 500-1500 miles, depending on the amount of power and the type of riding (muddy off-road riding covers the drive chain in what amounts to a grinding paste). Direct drive hub motors fall at the other end of the maintenance scale and...

Isn't there already a China clone available?

As a cycle courier, how many miles do you envisage riding per day? I can't help but think that a mid-drive is a really bad idea due to the increased maintenance requirements.

The best way to minimise TCO per mile of any bike is to run it into the ground until it's no longer economically viable to fix. Then sell it.

The only thing that makes a brushless motor rated for a particular voltage is the fact that its winding pairs nicely with a commonly available battery voltage to give a specific legislatively limited speed, e.g. 25kph in the EU, 20mph in the US, etc. This voltage rating is purely for the...

Andy. Is it possible that you are confusing 'brushed' and 'brushless' motor theory? Some of what you state is true in the context of brushed motors, but not when applied to brushless motors.

Has d8veh come back as a forum troll?
