My guess is: Red = 5v Black = 0v White/green = signal So (from connector on controller to new throttle) you need to go: Yellow to black Red to red Green to white Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

The torque simulation controllers (from BMS and probably others) are very good, not quite the same as a torque sensor, but a vast improvement over the old speed type. The big advantage of building your own is that you can easily change bits around if you don't like them. Sent from my HTC...

I'm a big fan of the continental tubes. They are thick and perform well. They have a threaded steel valve with a nut to hold it in place, making much easier to get a pump on them. I just bought 8 for about £20. Sometimes Halfords have them on offer for about £2.50 Sent from my HTC One_M8...

I have messed around with wiring in lights, but these days I have a couple of these with some 18650's. Last about an hour. The light they give is plenty enough (I'm riding Devon country lanes, potholes the size of badgers, badgers the size of cows). You could easily wire them in with a DC-DC...

Yes, it's about weight distribution. Lower the better. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

This sounds more like a battery problem to me. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Towbar for me. Then any old eBay rack will do it, although I also have a Thule hangon which is good for 3 bikes, so fine with one e-bike. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Yes, but it's important for the OP (and others) to understand why. You don't need to be using the throttle for it to fail wide open. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I wish I could un-see that thing. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

The cut out switches are very useful when the throttle fails, as they can do so wide open. That said, the brakes should easily overpower the motor, so it's not a massive safety thing as long as you are aware that it could happen. I don't bother with cutouts these days, just take the risk that...

None of it is hard, especially if you have an understanding of engineering. For a front hub in steel fork, you just need to file the dropouts a few mm deeper. 8mm round file and 5 mins work. In a ally fork (most suspension forks) a torque arm is recommend. Same goes for a rear hub, but you...

Yes, that would do it. The formula is L = 2 (C) + (F/4 + R/4 + 1) L = Chain length in inches. Round the final result to closest whole inch figure. C = Chain stay length in inches, measure to closest 1/8". Use chart above to find decimal measurement. F= Number of teeth on largest front...

It's pretty simple and clear. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre. Had the car driver done either of the first two the accident could have been avoided. The pedestrian has no idea what he's talking about, and does not know the difference between outside and inside.

The third option is a hub motor. A front hub motor can be a very easy conversion, probably slightly easier than a mid drive as you don't need any special tools. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

You'd be better off going to the website. They will pick it from you for a few pence more. I've used my Hermes for a lot of stuff now, never had problems. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

That's quite a poor bike for a conversion in my opinion. No triangle and no easy rear rack (full suspension) limits your choice of battery. You'd be better of starting with a hard tail, preferably with disc brakes. Should be able to pick something up for £100 or less on eBay/gumtree Here's one...

It's not right, that's for sure. Could it be all spokes taking up the slack as the motor spins up? I'd be inclined to either remove or tighten the spokes then try again. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

When it comes to Manilow, compression and removal of both extraneous and audible data is my preferred way to listen. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Isn't that the same as the UK one but with commentators shouting louder? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

The problem goes away if you can de-restrict it. It wouldn't surprise me to find a standard Chinese controller in the bottom of that battery. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
