    Traction problem with Big Bear

    We'll hide our eyes and look the other way... :rolleyes: About the fifth time I was passed (in a car) by a moped with no muffler doing 70 km/h (legal limit 45 km/h) I stopped worrying about "road legal".

    Swapping KT-LCD1 to LCD5 (with different plugs)

    I want to be able to remove the LCD easily and place it in another location, for that I want different length extensions. You really don't want bundles of excess wire on a trike, there is enough long cable runs as it is :)

    Swapping KT-LCD1 to LCD5 (with different plugs)

    Are you sure we are talking about the same thing? I need to cut the wire between the external buttons of a KT LCD-3 and reconnect with Higo plugs. That cable looks mighty thin for 5 wires. The reason? I want to put the LCD up front between my feet where I can see it and the buttons on the...

    Swapping KT-LCD1 to LCD5 (with different plugs)

    https://www.e-bike-technologies.de/index.php/en/connectors/higo/higo-mini-b-connectors/higo-b5-detail So I am guessing red, black and one signal wire for each button.

    Sparkle destroying my Powerpole 45A

    Nope, solder only for XT90. Solder on an XT90 no spark and never look back! :rolleyes:

    Swapping KT-LCD1 to LCD5 (with different plugs)

    <Thread hijack alert> I asked this question, which went unanswered, elsewhere: How many wires are there between the KT buttons and the LCD? I want to use a Higo plug rather than solder the wires. Ta!

    What's the deal with frequently broken spokes?

    Extra un-sprung weight on spokes that are not at correct tension. IGH bikes break spokes too if they aren't tight. Torque figures for 250 W crank drives are almost always given as higher than torque for 250 W hub motors. Whatever the number it has to go through the hub, motor or other, to be...

    What's the deal with frequently broken spokes?

    3600 km without a broken spoke on my Chinese built Mxus wheel. I put that down to tightening them before riding then checking after 100 km, 2 or 3 were quite loose so got re-tightened.

    Hi from Brentwood

    Unless you take them apart and modify the ports and increase the compression ratio by filing a bit off the cylinder head. Who would do that? :rolleyes:... You can also run them for a short time using moped 2 stroke mix which contains less oil and makes bigger bangs than the recommended...

    what capacity cells would be in 36v 17ah battery

    Because they are charged with specialized chargers and BMS that balance to a lower voltage as in the case of Tesla. On a bike you will get better battery life by using a much larger battery capable of higher discharge rates than those demanded by your motor and controller. For example: - My...

    Clip less pedels

    I think I might buy the KT LCD-6: vertical screen and cadence meter so uses the PAS to give cadence.

    Good Bike Tool Kit?

    Not having anything when I did my first conversion I got one of those cheap box sets and it has and is still serving me well. I did have to buy a couple of freewheel and cassette removal tools to complement the generic one. The tools I need on the road are removed from the box and in a tool tube.

    Clip less pedels

    I am going down the SPD route when I can afford to. I have more confidence and am spinning out on the trike sometimes literally spinning out of the pedal toe clip... :eek: I also need a cadence meter... :rolleyes:
