    Hi! I'm David and I've got a conversion kit on order (just ordered today)

    So, in 6 weeks we're going to learn what easi-fit means. In the meantime and to save delays after the kit arrives, show us a photo of your bike from the side and another one from the front at axle height. In principle, that kit's not bad, but there can always be unforseen problems when it...

    help with Charger

    As I said, the arcing isn't a problem for your type of jack. It's only the 5.5mm coax type that gives problems.

    Freego hawk controller

    Can you show us what's the handlebars - throttle, any control panel and switches? Am I correct that there are only the three thick wires that go to the motor, and that there are no 5 thin wires in the motor cable, or does that flat 5 way connect to the motor cable?

    kudos tornado throttle

    After another think, It might be done with a couple of wires at the controller. Open the black box on the seat tube and see if there are two single wires either joined by a connector to make a loop or not joined, or their might be a loop of wire that comes out and goes back in. The colour will...

    Yes, there's a setting in the LCD IIRC. Show a photo of it to remind me which one it is.

    TSDZ2 Alternative

    You should tell us about the issues you had, which might help other forum members with their decisions. Also, it might help us make recommendations for alternatives. Was it not powerful enough, too noisy for you, too heavy, to inconvenient or what? Also, tell us what you want to do with your...

    Can anyone recommend a good ebike repair and battery construction book(s)?

    He'll be OK as long as he doesn't go over the event horizon. That D8veh isn't deleted on Endless-sphere. He still posts there occasionally. The problem there is that when somebody posts about one of our type bikes, or someone wants a bike that they can actually pedal, all the regular brain dead...

    Long commute question

    I had a catflap in my house, so my cat could come and go as he wanted. I was working, so no idea what he got up to during the day. When I got home from work he was always keen to see me because it was feeding time, so I would pick him up and stroke him while carrying him to the kitchen. One day...

    help with Charger

    That is incorrect for a normal Chinese battery and charger with a 5.5mm jack. . You only switch on after inserting the jack when the battery has comms with the charger, like Bosch, Suntour, Shimano, Yamaha, etc systems - basically, any charger that has more than two conductors in the charge...

    help with Charger

    You must plug in the charger to the mains and switch it on before plugging into the battery to avoid the inrush that causes the spark. It doesn't matter whether you charge with the battery switched on or off. That doesn't normally affect the charge socket.

    Help! Faulty Bafang BBS01b

    It's possible to wipe out a controller when the motor is stuck due to a faulty hall sensor or something like that. When you open the throttle, you don't see anything happen, but the current is rushing through the motor coils the same as it would if you put a stick through the chainwheel to stop...

    HSEC HUB SUBSTITUTE

    The motors are very good and very reliable. that's the last thing you should change. Instead, you need to get rid of the crappy motor connector (solder the wires directly) and the unreliable torque sensor arrangement. To lose the torque sensor, you need a new controller, LCD, motor cable, and...

    P settings info reqd

    P2 is the number of pulses per revolution of the wheel from the speed sensor. You can't have 1 and 5 give the same result. If you have a wheel magnet sensor, P2=1 If you have no speed sensor, P2=0 and it will use the motor pulses to calculate the speed, but that will be zero when free-wheeling...

    Battery question

    Probably not. The only way to be sure is to open it up and check the voltage on the main capacitor/s.

    Falcon Flo Replacement Battery

    That's not a standard silver fish battery. i've never seen that connector in 10 years on this forum. Also, the aluminium is a different shape and so are the top and bottom plastic parts. There are some options for fixing it if you can use a meter and solder. What exactly is wrong with it?

    Different tyre sizes front and rear on road Ebike?

    The weight on the tyres from the battery and motor is completely insignifican't compared with a heavy rider without those things. weird handling is most likely due to pendelum effct of non-central mass. If there's any adjustment on the battery, move it as far forward as possible and get it as...

    Need HELP !

    You've broken the throttle. the high and low stops have to be in exactly the right positions for it to stop and give maximum power. They're only thin plastic and easily broken. You'll need a new throttle. If you have a pedal sensor, you can run with that while you sort out the throttle. To stop...

    Viking bike bottle battery 24 volt

    The controller is in the base of the receiver. in theory, you can use any battery you want because it's a simple two wire connection, but you need to think about what you can do with the controller. If you don't mind the untidy look, you could keep the receiver and mount a different battery...
