    DIY Hubless MTB conversion

    Not electric but I'd love the chance to get something similar and add a kit to it :cool: The build looks very DIY'able, the reults are amazing from some simple engineering work.

    Tapered vs straight steerer?

    @AlejoBike - once you know which type of forks will fit your bike, I got some last year from seller "Bankrupt Bike Store" (they're on Ebay & Amazon), basic but very good and very cheap. I like them a lot...

    Yose 350 rear hub kit - transplanted onto Scott !

    @PC2017 thanks for the compliments - it's only the 2nd bike I've ever bought new (the other was before I was a teenager !). I paid £££ lots - slightly reduced as previous years model - and don't regret it at all :) It's so nice having good air forks, hydro disk brakes, and the drive line is...

    Yose 350 rear hub kit - transplanted onto Scott !

    I’ve been waiting for a parcel of bits for this bike, a mate in the uk kindly took delivery from a few different places, and put it all into 1 box then sent it to me in Portugal more than a month ago. It’s stuck in customs with no sign of moving so I’ve resorted to fitting a temporary luggage...

    Trial E-scooters in London - additional conditions

    The Met Police have concerns and have described E-Scooters as“Death traps”, it will be intersting to see how they implement the law in the new trial zones. (terrible accent but decent content) https://www.gbnews.uk/gb-views/dan-wootton-e-scooters-disaster-waiting-to-happen/107734 Ebike &...

    Julet connector and wiring bundle

    Hi, I have seen a (home-made) wiring diagram on this forum a few months ago, have just looked but can't find it for you. Beware if buying a replacement harness, there are at least 2 different types ( 9 pin connectors for kits with lights fitted, 8 pin for those with no lights?), anything you buy...

    Ebike yose power failure

    Hi, It sounds like your Yose kit is similar to mine (everything is built-in so is difficult to test with a multimeter). Does your battery have a push-button to check voltage, with a row of LEDs to show the charge? Maybe try that before and after it cuts out. The gauge is very basic but is...

    Another accident in the news

    Very true. I've been working in Southern Europe for more than a year, E-mopeds and (like photo above) E-kids-scooters are very popular - mainly for shorter trips near towns. The big differences are: very little traffic here compared to UK, a very polite nation who work *with* other road users...

    Another accident in the news

    Madness ! I've weighed 13-15 stone since I was a teenager, riding a 50cc moped limited to 30mph when new (low 20s when they've had a few years use and have a big lad on them) always felt dangerous. Plenty of cars in built up areas are doing 35mph. It doesn't sound a lot but the 10mph...

    Another accident in the news

    Thanks @flecc - I couldn't picture 2 people on that style of scooter so thought it must have been a moped-shaped one. I guessed wrong again. 2 up on one of those on out potholed roads with traffic has to be a recipe for disaster, a shame as they sound a great idea for portable transport around...

    Another accident in the news

    The report describes it a an E-scooter with 2 people on it, I suspect it means E-moped not kids scooter type but it's unclear. Serious head injuries, so no helmets...

    Cheapest source for kt controller and display

    @Nealh there is a way but it took me a while to find it and I had to change 2 settings together, My throttle now matches my power level, not 100% all the time. @Darthpaul My own notes are poor but might help: C4 = 4 throttle / walk assist ? (set to P4=0, C4=4 for throttle max to match power level)

    How should I upgrade a bike with a coaster brake?

    Good advice above from @vfr400 and @flecc - buying a different bike will be the easiest (and maybe even the cheapest) solution.

    How should I upgrade a bike with a coaster brake?

    Hi, nice bike, I have something similar and it's very practical. Adding a disk brake at the front isn't too difficult but you would have to use a front wheel motor as this has the fittings to mount a disc brake, expect to spend at least £75 on the extra parts. Don't order anything yet ( more...

    Still no response to my emails from BMS

    Glad you got things sorted. If anyone else opens a Paypal dispute and is asked to close it before the seller will refund you, suggest you look at what can happen (different company - same problem) https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/pswpower-do-not-use-them.41249/

    this is really a big problem. The electric motor touches the brake. Please advise.

    Hi, I think my Yose 350w kit is the same as yours, mine has a 160mm disk + axle spacer fitted and clearance is fine. Hope the photo exlains. For testing, you could remove the rear calliper before a gentle ride up your street to check the motor is working - obviously not to use further than needed.

    this is really a big problem. The electric motor touches the brake. Please advise.

    Hi, I think you have 2 choices... Like @flecc says, I use the thinnest washer I can that will give me clearance. Best to loosen your brake caliper bolts before fitting the wheel as adding a washer will move the disk sideways - I always end up having to adjust the brakes after I've converted a...

    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    Wow ! Not a company I've ever bought from but I came close a few times. Will be interesting to see if anyone else has an comments about them.

    Lightweight kit from MTB (9 year old)

    Hi, I bought a 36 volt / 350W kit last year from company Yose - they shipped from their EU (Germany?) warehouse. Not sure if they supply any kits with simple displays, mine came with a basic LCD display and has been very good for me. Website https://yosepower.com/ Looking at their site now it...
