The website quotes the batteries as weighing 3.5 and 4.5k, which is about right for 12 and 16ah at 36v. I'd say a real world range of 37 and 48 miles. Another example of a manufacturer giving all the detail but seemingly 'forgetting' to include something as important as battery capacity...

Hi, and welcome. First off, changing the motor for a bigger one won't make any difference, unless the one you have is broken. The amount of power is regulated by the controller, by modifying the current (Amps) It's possible to modify the controller to give a bit more current by applying...

Most (perhaps all) hub kits these days use a brushless DC motor (BLDC). Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

There are lots of things can be done to increase power AND stay legal. If you start a new thread we can help you. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

It's not sport, it's transport. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

In my opinion, if you haven't ridden a bike for a long time you will be happy with just about any pedelec. If you don't know why you would prefer hub over derailleur then it doesn't matter too much. Either will be fine. It's true you get what you pay for, but Woosh (and others) make sub £1000...

For the battery to go to 0.6v (practically 0v) it must the BMS (Battery Management System) cutting it out. When you measured 38v was that fully charged? It seems a bit low. Possibly a duff cell, or it's out of balance. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

As d8veh says it's important to understand that the legality is about the motors rating (BBS01 is 250W) not the actual VxA. You can pump 100A through it, still legal. (although your motor would go a little bit melty/on fire) Anyway, down here in the wild west no one's checking. Sent from...

I wouldn't worry about that, as it's specifically outlawed, making the bike illegal anyway. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Car batteries are lead acid but not designed for deep cycle. SLA's are basically the same thing, but with thicker plates so they can be discharged further. And sealed. On paper SLA is a cheap alternative. In practical reality though you can only use about half of the stated Ah, as most are...

30A peak is normal for a 500w, 12 fet controller. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

If it's easy, put the throttle back on, and test it with that. The throttle should override the PAS, so you'll be able to determine if it's a battery/power issue, or a PAS issue. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

How old is the battery, and am I correct in assuming no throttle? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Sounds like a battery problem at first, but I'm confused about 'if I only put light pressure on pedals'. Do you mean less or more pressure than normal? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

The 10ah one is the best value for money. I'd buy that, and take two when I needed giving flexibility. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Yes, hydraulics are much better. Because they are self adjusting they need virtually no maintenance, where as mech disks need a lot of fiddling. You can get a pair of Shimano ones for £40, so expect about £20 for a single. Make sure you get a long enough hose and a spare olive so you can cut...

Now I think about it, the controller I had that consumed power had no display, and no connection for one. Also, no facility for a switch, so I guess it was always on, and consuming 50-100mA. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

OK, so I put my meter in instead, and the previous result must have been down to the watt meter (either it's out of cal. or it consumes a lot of power, probably a bit of both) The current draw in standby was not really in the measurable range of my meter, less than 1 uA. When switched on but...
