It's a lot cheaper to buy a complete replacement than to get one re-celled.

Make your own bracket out of a bit of aluminium sheet. it takesabout 10 minutes with a Dremmel. Mark out the holes for the LCD fixing screws first, then draw a line through them and another that bisects it at right angles, then mark the centre of the whole for the cap fixing. Open up that hole...

Your analysis is completely bogus. Those nations introduced compulsory helmets because they had a high death rate before they introduced compulsory helmets. The death rate wasn't caused by the helmets. The death rate comes from the riding behaviour, driving behaviour, infrastructure, culture...

Freego used many different controllers and wiring. You have to get the exact replacement if you want plug-and-play, otherwise, it's better to fit a KT or Brainpower one, which give you a lot more features and options.

Try one and you'll see. They have very high torque "250w" motors and a lot of very nice features, like lights that light up the road, very good hydraulic brakes, nice suspension, exceptional comfort compared with a normal bike, built in security systems (Eskuta) and decent storage.

It's correct as long as the bike is a pedelec. To be a pedelec, the motor must be rated at 250w or less (tick), it must have pedals that can operate it safely (probably tick), it must have a max speed of no more than 15.5 mph (tick), and the power must stop when you stop pedalling. It all hinges...

That's ridiculous. Are you more likely to injure your head while wearing a helmet or not? Helmets in no way contribute to deaths. they only preven some.

You only need the tiniest amount of epoxy to hold the halls still, so none should get anywhere else. the glue is only to stop them from moving, not to fix them in.

Assuming it's a sensored motor, you can use any controller you want. For cheapness, we normally recommend the Brainpower one with the S866 LCD, which costs about £40, but if you want a rweally nice controller, it has to be a KT sine wave one at about £70 with LCD3. We stick with these because we...

Take the tumblers out if you can, then you can use any key.

There are all sorts of factors that cause cyclists to die. When you get run over by a juggernaut, a helmet isn't going to be much use. The above data, though interesting, does not prove any correlation between helmets and deaths. It would be very wrong to draw that conclusion. So, a helmet is...

The magnetic field is directional. The magnet has to pass in the correct direction to switch on the hall. It's like a sprung-loaded tap. It onlty switches on the water if you turn it in the right direction. When you let go, it would spring back and switches the water back off. If you turned the...

Buy loose hall sensors. They cost nearly nothing. You'll struggle to find that exact hall sensor board as a spare part. You can use any bi-polar sensors, but there is a caveat. The sensors come in different versions. Some have internal regulators and some have integrated pull-up resistors. SS41...

Aluminium, stainless steel and titatium stay shiny necause their surface oxidises in air. The very thin oxide layer that forms more or less instantly protects the rest of the metal from corrosion. Galling is what happens between the threads of the nut and the bolt. The friction and pressure on...

It only works on the cheapo single hall type. Those type of sensors work simply and reliably. I can't understand what the advantage in dual sensors is. They only bring compatibility problems

You don't have the connector that I mentioned before, so there is no line, no way it can be a problem and there's nothing to check with it. Next time you get a cut-out, look at whatever you have on your handlebars that tells you the battery charge state. If the lights go out at the time of...

It says 15A. It's the only non-Chinese writing on it.

One of titanium's weakpoints concerning the grade used for fasteners is its low fatigue resistance. When used in race cars and things like that, they're used as one-shot fasterners, i.e replaced if disassembled. Also. they're very prone to galling, especially if the thread is cut rather than...

You don't have the connector.

The controller only cares about the voltage. the battery needs to be able to provide enough current for it. As yours is a low power bike, that shouldn't be a problem. To be sure, look at the label on the controller to see what the maximum current is - probably 14A or 15A. The battery needs to be...
