    TopBikeKit

    Replacement arrived today (14 days) so not too bad. They haven’t asked for the other wrongly supplied display back so looks like I may now have a spare !!

    TopBikeKit

    Received my latest TBK order yesterday by fedex (a week from order to delivery by premium shipping). The plug on the LCD supplied is the wrong type to what I ordered. Have emailed them. We will see how they respond to their mistake !!!

    Scott ebike cafe lock

    There are two types of these locks, one where the key is captive until locked and the other where the key can be removed. There is nothing wrong with it, you have just got the first type.

    Replacement for CK-1 display

    Have you tried putting it somewhere warm (airing cupboard), possibly in a bag of a moisture absorbent (rice / silica gel)? This may bring it back to life if left for a couple of days.

    Sheng Yi clutch replacement.

    I'm struggling to source a replacement clutch for my sheng yi rear hub motor. The vast majority available seem to be for bafang and have 36 teeth on the nylon gears. Mine only has 31 teeth and I have yet to see one available as a spare part anywhere. Does anyone know if the metal clutch bodies...

    Help identifying a motor clutch

    @Cobblers66 did you get this sorted? I think my clutch which looks to be the same as yours (Sheng yi motor) may be developing the same issue.

    Drilling for oil ( Hydraulic)

    Brake Discs are normally on the opposite side to the cable. I doubt it would work well with a sharp spinning disk close to the cable !!!

    Is this all I need?

    If this helps with your application:- The T06S controller is:52*31*81mm. I asked topbikekit the question when I ordered mine. You need a little more length on the 81mm side for the cables though.

    Volt Metro

    Anyone on here using a volt metro. I have a chance of a clean used one (for the other half to pootle round the village) at a good price. It only has 300 miles on the odo. The owners son is selling it after a death in the family and is not sure of the age. The battery is my main concern. He...

    volt pulse ebike

    It was quite straight forward. this is the controller http://www.topbikekit.com/t06s-24v36v250w-torque-simulation-sine-wave-with-julei-waterproof-connector-p-732.html You can use any compatible screen from the KT range LCD3,4 etc. I used the colour LCD 8 but the firmware seems a little buggy...

    volt pulse ebike

    Unless anything has changed the controller and LCD are locked down. I did manage to get the passwords to open the settings but there was little you could change. Do to another fault I eventually changed to a KT sine wave controller and LCD which has proved to be far better than the volt original...

    "ebike battery fire"

    So which is better and a lower risk? (1) Storing the battery and charging on the bike in the shed where i have seen it get up to 48oC in the summer. (2) removing and charging in my home office which never goes above 25oC. How will charging at 40+ oC affect battery life?

    "ebike battery fire"

    Going slightly off topic. How likely is a battery fire particularly as the battery ages? I've had several emails from Volt advising I replace my battery if it is over four years old, done 1000 charge cycles or gives less than 80% of its original capacity. Quote: Keeping your battery beyond...

    Council recycling centre bike access

    I wonder why fly-tipping is so prevalent at the moment? You would think that they would be falling over backwards to make it easy to dispose of your waste legally!!

    Bottom bracket

    My sealed square taper bottom bracket has started getting noisy and has a little side to side play so may need replacing soon (after 12000 miles). I’ve removed it and it seems to be an uncommon size (135x84mm). Anyone know of a good source where I may find a replacement unit? It’s a Volt bike...
