    Choosing a headset.

    Haha, I genuinely believed you had an antique bike that needed a new headset. I should have thought a bit harder, 4k m/year, over 400,000 miles! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Warranty advice

    IIRC the Bellili (thinks how you spell it) ones from Halfords are like that. Only about £40. I've still got the bracket, I'll dig it out in a bit.... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    where to buy a 42V DC 30A on-off switch

    I measured it today, on a brand new S06P controller with 890 (LED) display. It's possible that the 6wh consumed was down to the watt meter itself. Perhaps I should stick my DMM on there and see if I get a different result. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    where to buy a 42V DC 30A on-off switch

    Does the on/off button on the display not do this? The current I measured was with the controller switched off from the display. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    where to buy a 42V DC 30A on-off switch

    The problem is that a controller will consume a standby current. I just put a watt meter on mine, it's consuming about 0.5 wh/h (I'll confirm a more accurate figure later). Not much, but on my battery that's nearly 10% every day. Edit: just checked after 6 hours it's consumed just over 6wh...

    where to buy a 42V DC 30A on-off switch

    Suitable switches can be found, but the biggest problem is the inrush current when switched on. That said, I have fitted 16a switches that have lasted years, and been used every day. Basically, the bigger the better but you will struggle to find anything rated more than 12v. I don't bother...

    Woosh CD kit issues

    Sorry to butt in, slightly off topic. Why have none of the UK suppliers ever got any stock! Panda and Eclipse both OOS of the battery I want. Are there any other UK suppliers? Until now I've been using BMSBattery. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    printer advice

    In my case I need to print A3, so I use Canon inkjets with compatible inks from eBay. Last set of cartridges was £10 for 15 (I was able to chose what colours, so I got all black) I have used compatible carts for 10 years now, never had a problem. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    36volt BMS board help

    Those are some very strange results. I'm wondering about your meter. Can you check it by measuring something like an AA battery? I have seen 18650's giving out high voltages before when faulty. I had one that was giving about 7v. Perhaps the pack has suffered some kind of electrical trauma...

    If you build you can have throttle and pedal sensor. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Controller wiring dilemma

    Where did you get a brushed motor from? Presumably it's an old one, or taken from something else? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    That's not correct. In the UK the power limit is 250w. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
