I just found this adapter on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006861987045.html AFAICT, it should let you power any device with a UK plug (BS1363) using a public Type 2 EV charger. See 2nd product variation for UK compatible plug. So, who's going to be the first to try it out?....

No harm done. You just discharged the controller's input capacitor when you bridged the battery connector with your screwdriver. A flash and a crack is perfectly normal in this circumstance.

This is Unit Pack Power's new store.... Possibly a rebranding exercise following their recent unwanted press attention.

Do you have a link to the specific Amazon product detail page?

Total utter nonsense based on nothing more than fantasy!

Absolutely pathetic! All that fuss for 1.5mph over the maximum allowed speed limit variance. No wonder respect for the police is at an all-time low.

Yeah, I miss him! I seem to remember that he was widely disliked on Pedelecs, but brightened up this forum with his unique brand of humour.

It contains two hall sensors. All the rotational logic is handled internally and the signal is output through a single wire.

I can confirm that the KT-D12L is a dual-hall PAS sensor. I would usually set C1 to '5' when using one.

I used to have a Honda S2000 for fun, but eventually realised my e-bikes gave me more smiles per mile. Ended up getting rid of it and bought a Volvo V70 instead.

KT controllers are definitely the best of all the 'budget' options available, but there's certainly room for improvement. The PID control required for torque throttle control is more complex than that needed for discreet fixed torque PAS levels. I've never tried the open source KT firmware, but...

I've always been puzzled about the throttle implementation when it comes to KT controllers. If the throttle also operated as a current (torque) throttle, it would give a huge boost in usability and also make them more marketable too.

"Wet winter roads, leaves, manhole covers, and off road, gravel" So a bit of everything really?

Best grip on what though?... As you correctly stated, there's no 'perfect' tyre - they're all a compromise in one way or another. The Maxxis Holy Roller is my favourite 'all-rounder' - pretty much what the OP was asking for.

This has been my preferred 'all-rounder' tyre for many years: https://www.maxxis.com/uk/tyre/holy-roller/ Enough tread to cope well off-road, minimal rolling resistance on pavement and hardpack dirt.

Not necessarily. Depends whether they're talking about a 750W rated motor, or 750W of output power.

Who do you think funds the site?

May I suggest that it is more of a reflection of ebay as a failing (declining) marketplace, rather than the used ebike market as a whole. Buyers have begun a mass exodus of the site in the last year, so there are bargains to be had with listings that struggle to gain views in the double digits!

You'd need a fair gust to make it worthwhile, but it's not a bad idea. Do you have any more information about this specific implementation (photo, link, etc.)?

You can lead a horse to water...
