    Help! I need more power (not speed)

    I know folk are going to kill me on this but it's my experience so there you are I have a front 350w BPM in the shed and at 48v I'll take the xf07 all day long. I used that BPM for years with various voltages and controllers / amps and it never died. But I get double the mileage on the 07 with...

    Help! I need more power (not speed)

    This surprised me when I opened the controller. It was the first I’d seen without the classic shunt. Guess I’m outta touch these days

    BBS01 to KT controller mod.

    Wow, 17. 5ah empty in 22.5miles ? The torque must be immense ! I have just finished a 35 mile ride over the South Downs and used , maybe , half of my 17. 5ah battery. However , I tend to keep it drawing around 400w and yours must pull 1000 (guess)

    BBS01 to KT controller mod.

    Thanks for the reply, you have had more than your fair share of issues with bafang I feel ! Funny , I have had way more issues with hubs but then I tend to mistreat them rather badly!

    New tires.

    I agree with this 100% and stopped using them a good few years back. Personally I advocate schwalbe smart sams for mixed riding by which I mean proper off road but also tarmac. They have a centre line but knobby edges. I use them on my go anywhere hardtail . I recently bought 2.1 in error when...

    BBS01 to KT controller mod.

    Hey Nealh , may I ask why do this mod ? Is it case of why climb a mountain ?! Cos it's there ! Or is there a particular gain from using a non oem spec controller ? I know you have had loads of issues with bbs controllers. Perhaps. that ? (I've really not had this. I blew one bbs02 controller...

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    I've no idea about getting things classified whatsoever That said I have a small cheap geared hub motor (36v) that I can run with a 48v battery . That'll do 23/24 mph and has amazing torque for size (xf07 by mxus ) I also have a bbso2b (36v version ) . One can play with gears and controller...

    Decisions! Cheaper kit or the not so cheap kit for my requirements?

    I do agree with vfr on this 30mph really is going some and will kill any pack fast Plus your weight and hills climbing as stated make this harder still on the motor. Dd are utterly hopless at hill climbing too compared to geared - much better a flat speed . To be honest, especially if...

    TSDZ2 36 V AND 48V NIGHT AND DAY

    Not so long ago 48v wasn't really practicle due to the mah available on 18650 cells. These days it's no problem with decent 3000 to 3500 mah cells being readily available All my bikes run on 36v but I'd go 48v in the future too

    Speed removal 250w rear hub

    Vfr400 clearly knows this controller and given you some v useful info. If you discover the controller is restricting the speed then a new controller may give to a littlemore speed. I had a bafang 250 w hub from 8fun.uk that did 15 mph reducing to 10 as battery depeleted. A ku65 controller...

    Under 1k best buy cycle to work

    Or add a hub kit to any solid hybrid for that money. A decent spec Evans cycles pinnacle hybrid are freely available 2nd. Mostly by folks who bought them on ride to work scheme and never did. And add a woosh kit. I’ve been surprised by the torque on the xf07 which is tiny. The xf08 is the...
