Thing is there is no separate on switch , just the pot itself ?

Yes, it works perfectly

Possibly, in which case is there anything I can do to fool the controller ?

Strictly this is an electric scooter question but applies to Ebikes to (old brushed motor ones anyway ) So my dad has a very old electric 24v brushed motor scooter (500w) he uses it with his boat for zipping around marinas The controller went and he bought a new one.(without speaking with me...

I’m not sure they supply enough amps for lights However , I’ve used these with phone backup battery packs which supply 5v at 2.1a...

Please take this as constructive but those battery prices seem rather high. I compare against .uk companies with solid reputations, good customer service and a one year guaranty....and , well I wouldn't buy from a man leaving the country in a few days !! We are very much in "take a punt "...

I always wear cycling overtrousers which keep them perfect for the top half, best tips I have are -buy cheap shirts. The more expensive, quality cottonn ones will look a mess compared to a 10 quid primark one ! (I have a wardrobe with loads of quality shirts I rarely wear now). Sounds daft I...

Welcome ! You can still be old school. I have latest bafang tech on a 26 inch wheel , hardtail, 1 1/8 straight steer, external headset with quick release wheels ! Which was built from scratch less than two years ago ;)

Blimey Flecc, that's a great bit of engineering and effort I have neither skill nor time to achieve ! As a general rule, the answer is no really much easier to sell the rear and buy a front. Or vice versa (Says the man with three hub motors in the shed which are either in wrong size wheel...

Thanks for heads up

I buy mid range chain on a deal. On my mid drive mtb I am on my second chain at 3500miles on the odo. But it needs changing again really

Depends who you ask to be honest. Manufacturers claim they are as effiecent as chains. Chain manufacturer claim 99% efficiency However in reality , chains are not that good. That's almost perfect lab conditions to achieve it.A bit like emissions and mileage quotes in cars ! My own view as a...

Certainly mine is less noisy than a chain. I can't imagine I can pedal fast enough to produce any heat ! Edit - I should add I mean this before I added a motor. Any sound heard is from motor not the shaft drive There is a little hole to add grease to the shaft system occasionally (far less...

The bike is now my regular commuter. The PAS issue was fixed by use of Sugru (and Woosh's drilled out PAS ring) The speed was a bit slow so I gave myself options. I opened the controller and splice in a loop ending in xt60 connector. This means I can add lipo packs to increase voltage. The...

Conti travel contact is my favourite to date for a fast rolling tire that is still good for .uk roads and regular commuting with a great balance of fast rolling, grip , weight and puncture resistance smart sam are my favourite if commuting and off road trailing

Sounds like a bad translation on the old charger then, no issue at all

I'm not totally sure they are The photo details 48v output (not that it is for a 48v nominal battery) The eBay one is 54.6v output for a 48v nominal Could be a case of chinglish rather than an actual issue ! What battery does the old one charge please ?

I had the same code. Long story short - the bike worked intermittently. Generally well after a decent period of shutdown and then went after anything from 100yards to 6 miles Over time (about a week) it just Got worse. It just didn't feel like a controller issue. But Brighton ebikes in...

Lithium cells wrong way round is rarely a good idea ! But point taken. Great idea, poor execution

I am one of few , it seems, who quite like a front hub. For touring I see no issue - you may argue it better balances weight and is certainly more reliable than mid drive Speed is your issue. Mid drives can easily exceed 15mph limit with a few button presses and sensible gearing. Hubs require...
