    Giant FSA "custom" crankset.

    It'a a chainwheel on a spider, you should be able to use any 110 BCD chainwheel to replace it.

    Newbee needing some advice

    I think a "cheat sheet" listing different motor types, power, voltage and wheel size would be a great ressource. You are comparing torque with a 700C wheel?

    error code o3 lcd3 yosepower 350w kit

    I also learnt to heatsink the silicon wire when I used heat shrink. Now I use the HK XT60s with built in insulation. The grey colour is because you have gone too hot, doesn't seem to alter the quality of the solder though. A wide 60-80 W iron is the ideal tool.

    error code o3 lcd3 yosepower 350w kit

    It is an art form isn't it :) - tin your silicon wire, use lots of solder - use a third hand to hold the XT with the cups facing upwards - heat the cup with the solder wire touching it, as soon as it fuses withdraw the soldering iron - present your tinned wire to the cup and re-heat until it...

    Losing power

    Should be printed on the label. Or the bill when you bought the conversion.

    Losing power

    How often has it been charged? What sort of distance have you done?

    Losing power

    Is there a voltage reading on the LCD? Your symptoms sound like battery sag which means as soon as you try and use some power it trops below the 33v LVC.

    Losing power

    What is the battery voltage? When you say 3/4 full are you relying on the lights on the battery or bars on the LCD?

    New Yose power 350 watt kit snags

    If the throttle gets stuck open a brake cutoff can come in handy... otherwise with the KT controller and a hub motor you don't need one (I had 3600 trouble free km with my first bike). Mid drives tend to have a bit more run on so my GSM has one of these on the rear...

    Length

    The question wasn't stupid, it wasn't well documented with a link to the bike in question that's all. Sorry for being cheeky but life is too short to not have a bit of fun once in a while...

    Length

    Maybe a Smarta LX? In that case I would say it is a bit shorter than the bench it is leaning against... :D

    Parallel Batteries

    I have been using the same XT60s without spark protection for well over 2000 km. They are a bit black but so far no problems and when there is I'll just solder a new one on.

    250 W-350 W then should do, the torque can be controlled by the sine wave controller.

    PDQ wheelchair trike direct drive advice

    I would tend to think that a 500 W geared front hub motor wheel with a sinewave controller and a twist throttle might work for you? What are the dropout dimensions of your fork?
