    planning a 700c commuter

    It's tricky comparing kits from different suppliers, there are always parts you would prefer from all of them. The alternative is to cherry pick parts from different suppliers and build your own kit, but this does take a considerable amount of time if your knowledge is limited. What I would say...

    Motus Hub, rear wheel slipping forward

    If you have horizontal drop outs, you would benefit from fitting a chain adjuster on the drive side or both. These cheapies work OK on my Sturmey Archer hub with BBS02 mid drive...

    More current wanted, best/cheapest controller with LCD?

    I'm not aware of any other brands that are in the budget range you require. You may find some that appear different, like the range BMS Battery sell, but these are rebranded KT's. Infineon are a solid brand, but prob. more than you are willing to pay. This one will run upto 72v:D...

    Does getting an e-bike mean you eventually give up "conventional" bikes??

    I haven't ridden a conventional bicyle any distance for about 40 years and have no wish to do so, but really enjoy my electric bikes.

    Motor + Pedal

    If the motor cuts at 19 mph or has reached the max. speed it can physically turn at under electrical power, then you are providing all the effort above that speed. On the flat or slight downhill you may find it fairly easy to maintain your higher speed, but a slight incline will need...

    Sanyo NCR18650GA vs Samsung 18650 Cells

    I would make my choice based on the max. output of my controller. not much to choose between the GA and 35E, the GA fairs a little better at higher load. Anything over 30 amps, i would go with the GA's.

    planning a 700c commuter

    I don't consider BMS battery to be quite as popular as they were a few years ago, as there is now more choice available. I have bought bare hub motors from them in the past, but I think if you are looking for a complete kit, there are better options. I would rule out Cyclotricity simply because...

    Best seller for the Bafang BBS01B?

    From what I've read, the TSDZ2 drive sounds like a nice, well built unit, although i havn't tried it myself. It's 48v and torque sensored, so similar to the bikes you have tried. Woosh has only recently started selling it, and I think he's quite careful in his selection of products, which...

    Troubleshooting dead battery?

    There's a very good chance that if the battery is older and has been left lying around uncharged that the cells are not in great condition, but I would have expected some voltage increase after 2 hours. I don't see any point in trying it for longer. 30v would suggest some hope of recharging, any...

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    You can't access the 1000w power level unless you are running the Cyclotricity LCD1 and controller, it has custom programming with the P6 function.

    If you can't see it, it's prob. missing, which will lead to the problem of the wheel falling off.

    Best seller for the Bafang BBS01B?

    Eclipse can be a bit slow to respond, but do get back to you, prob quicker than any chinese vendor, apart from EM3EV, who are excellent, but no longer sell the 250w. Woosh sells the BBS01 with various battery options and his CS is spot on. Everybody is looking for the best deal they can get...

    Cyclone vs Bafang - key differences, reliability etc

    The flip side of on show and easy to maintain is that you need to ride with an oil can in your spare hand.:)

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    Cyclotricty is the only place you will get a true plug and play replacement, but there are other sources of KT 30 amp controllers that may need some connectors changing. If you fit a replacement you will lose the 250/1000w function if that matters to you. This one will work with your LCD3 as...
