    Help! 500w/750w Ebikes in the UK

    36v doesn't mean anything. It's just a reference for the speed. You can run on 100v if you want. It's the current that burns the motor.

    The title says freehub, but direct drive motors are normally freewheel. Do you know the difference, or do you actually have a freehub motor? Either way, it's probably the back of your bottom gear rubbing on the motor. matbe something has got jammed in the gap or your bearings in the freewheel...

    Evans Pinnacle Mercury E-Bike

    10 to 12 miles would be about right for a 5Ah battery. You should test it to see if you've been cheated. It can also happen if your LCD is set to 48v instead of 36v, so check that.

    3-in-One oil is what you should use, not motor oil. Drip it in where the free-hub meets the main part of the motor. Try and get a good amount in...

    You won't get one in the UK at a sensible price. there was someone recently selling rebranded kits at an extortionate price, but I can't remember the brand name. There's no problem buying from China. You just send a message with what you want and they send you an invoice. If your motor is...

    Help! 500w/750w Ebikes in the UK

    Easiest way to get more power and speed is to swap the battery and controller for 48v ones, which will give a 30% increase in both. Look at your controller to see how many amps it gives and use the same for your 48v. The motor will manage that OK as long as you don't let it go too slow up steep...

    Suspension seatposts question asked by oldie

    The only type worth getting are the parallelogram type, like the Suntour NCX or Thudbuster. When I tried a demo bike with the NCX, I literally thought I was riding a full suspension bike. I was so impressed by it, that as soon as I got off the bike, I looked at the frame to see what type of...

    Used Yamaha or Bosch?

    The biggest risk is the bike packing up for whatever reason. That should take considerably more consideration than the type of gears or the details of the power characteristics when buying a 5 year old electric bike with no guarantee. Anecdotally, Bosch batteries are easiest to deal with and...

When the display goes off at the same time as the cut-out occurs, it means that the voltage from the...

    They're rivets. You lever out the other end. There's a peg holding it in that comes out with it if you lever it enough.

    Hello from Bristol

    You have a sensorless motor and special connector, which limits your choice of controllers or you'd have to cut the motor connector off and solder all the wires. That's probably a PAS connector. Avoid any sensor with 12 magnets. 5, 8 or 10 would all be OK.
