    Ebco m45 help please

    CANbus is brilliantly simple... when it's working. Just like in all modern cars, it saves the cost and complication of long unwieldy multi-stranded wiring looms.

    TranzX 2021 catalogue introduces Bluetooth to their handlebar displays - models DP29 and DP30. These allow a user to self-diagnose faults without the dealer diagnostics system using a LogiX 'phone App. AFAIK, the new displays are 100% interchangeable with the older (still current) DP27 model...

    Ebco m45 help please

    As vfr says, both the electronics and form factor don't lend it to change. What about calling Ebco themselves? They'd been selling Tranzx driven ebikes for donkeys years and their range included (amongst Bosch and Shimano driven ebikes) 11 different models using Tranzx systems right up to the...

    If we're buying into the heat-stress theory, I accidentally omitted a bit... It actually says ""the motor can overheat on very steep hills and under heavy loads, but the built-in heat sensor will automatically shut down the system before any damage can occur to the internals of the motor"...

    Lockdown boredom... I'm still here! Your mates' wife may be in luck... This page says the M45 was only introduced in 2018, so it can't be too old - maybe under 2 years old?: Products | EBC Bikes (ebco-ebikes.co.uk) Rifling through my draws, I've found an Ebco manual that includes the M45...

    Ebco m45 help please

    Other than talking to Tranzx or hooking the bike up to the diagnostic software, I'm out of ideas. But I wonder if your DP27 does the little boot-up "dance" first before displaying "0Hot", or does it just go straight to the error?

    Ebco m45 help please

    At the risk of asking the obvious, did you check the battery voltage (in case the bike has been unused for a while), and the motor connector etc is properly inserted? It's an F15 front hub isn't it? I'm personally doubtful that you're going to get any useful diagnostic info from the limited...

    Porsche launch $10,000 electric bikes

    What back seat? There's naff-all room in the front of a 911 never mind the back - couldn't get an Easter Egg in there!

    Pretty sure those codes only apply to the DP15/16 LCD display (not the OP's DP27), which can be used to run basic diagnostics on the display itself without the laptop. The Tranzx laptop diagnostics are very Bosch - display, motor, controller, pedal/speed sensor, battery BMS and it prints out a...

    Ebco m45 help please

    That looks like a Tranzx DP27 display; it's a CANbus system. Apart from the mini USB socket on the display, there's a fault diagnostic socket behind the end panel on the rack battery for connecting to a dealer laptop. AFAIK, the entire bike was made by Tranzx (IIRC part of their "Mavis" range)...

    Help! I'd like to get Fiido D4S

    Fiido warn that only fiido.com is a genuine supplier (Dec 2020 they were trying to close unofficial suppliers down - see notice on their website). Having said that, they have just appointed a handful of "official" sales/service centres in NI, UK, Spain and Italy, so you'd need to check on their...

    Mmm. In fact, large tracts of both Norfolk and Suffolk are particularly light and sandy, but notwithstanding, hedges form effective windbreaks and that's still the (main) answer wherever you are in the Country (the farm I worked was in Hertfordshire). Hedges are by far the most expensive and...

    Porsche launch $10,000 electric bikes

    They're a carbon frame though, aren't they? Even Wisper were charging £5,800 for a carbon framed dual suspension bike with a Shimano (E8000) drive. In that context, is £7,650 too much for a "premium brand" cross e-bike?

    Help! I'd like to get Fiido D4S

    Fiido used to ship to the UK from a warehouse in Poland, but since Brexit they can't do that anymore without a lot of faff. What has happened since Brexit is Fiido newly showing a sales/service centre being set up in Bath for the UK... so it seems you may just need to wait a little longer?

    No, they're only used as a temporary measure to confine livestock to part of a field. Tis true that I only worked on a farm for 6 years back in the 1970's, but talking to farmers now in local Breckland pubs, wind-breaks to prevent erosion is what they say. Go ask them yourself.

    Lost Vistas

    I'm sure there are (or at least were pre-Brexit) subsidies from the EU for farmers to plant hedgerows and leave wide boarders around fields to encourage wildlife and indigenous plants. But my discussions with several Norfolk farmers in the local pub - after many pints of local brew - suggest...

    If you're in Northampton, there's no better place for your sister to see and try e-bikes than Rutland Cycles at Pitsford Water just north of the town (I'm sure you probably know it). I've ridden there a few times: There's a huge selection of e-bikes to hire, try or buy in the shop there, and...
