    LED Display Alternating Top/Bottom blinking, Bike Not Working

    The information you give will point to the cause of the problem. If the control panel intermittently started doing that, the probable cause is either burnt contacts on the battery connection caused by connecting the battery when the battery is already switched on, or there's a short in the...

    Elon Musk just posted this. Why can't we have a DOGE? This new regime is going to be very entertaining. "All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something...

    Help! Need new Controller for colorway ebike

    If the S866 won't switch on, it's normally because it has no voltage. If it goes faulty, it would still flash or switch on but not work properly. Motors are very reliable. Even if completely burnt out, you'd still see activity on the S866 since the S866 Is connected directly to the battery...

    Interesting Bike Stuff

    I have nothing/no one to spy on yet. They're not so good on my main bike because I'm in a leaning forward position and the glasses point slightly downwards, so it hurts my neck to point them high enough; however, I've started using my other bike now, which has a more upright riding position, so...

    Help! Need new Controller for colorway ebike

    Here's how it works: the battery is connected to the controller, but the controller does not take its power from those wires. Those wires go straight to the motor but are blocked by gates. When powered, the controller opens and closes the gates to let the battery power into the motor. A branch...

    Help! Need new Controller for colorway ebike

    Are you saying that you didn't check the motor, the battery connection to the controller and the control panel? Surely, if you swapped the controller for another, which also didn't work, it implies that the problem is not the controller? What was the full voltage of the battery? BTW, if your...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    If you know an electrician, you can have a socket connected to the inverter added so that you can get power when the grid goes down, though that only works if the panels are generating or if you have batteries, otherwise you can get one of those portable power stations.

    replacing Ananda MC5-B0 controller and display

    I doubt that you'll find any replacement that has matching connectors, so you're going to have to do a bit of soldering. Are you OK with that? Otherwise, show us which connectors you have.

    Revos Controller

    it might be simple, but that doesn't mean simple to replace. With only three wires, it's running without sensors. Only ebike controllers have connectors for pedal sensors, but I'm not sure that your average sensorless controller would be able to commutate fast enough for that motor. You could...

    That's OK because Anthony Faucci said that he represents science, and it looks like he'll be going to jail soon, so we won't have to worry about science any more and everything should go back to normal again.

    LED Display Alternating Top/Bottom blinking, Bike Not Working

    Firstly, it's showing very low battery level, so the battery might need charging. Next, it shows a communication failure with the controller, which is probably related to the low voltage. There are some scenarios where that can happen, like a blown MOSFET in the controller, but in order to...

    New ebike advice required

    You can get any one you want then. They all have enough power for 75kg and they all do 15 mph max. You don't need any fancy gears on an electric bike, nor any of the other things that make an unpowered bike good. The Argos ebikes are fine for a 5 mile commute and generally riding around on...

    Have you got somewhere secure to park it while at work, otherwise it's going to get nicked. Can you tell me which city - I'm looking for a new bike, but I only had enough money for a used angle-grinder from Cashconverters?
