    So that is getting close to the min level I should be aware of. No lower than 44.2v ? 3.4v per cell. Figured out the C12 @4 meaning.

    Yes very. Good to hold onto too when you want to situp and relax a little.

    I was enquiring what my LCD was set to, so I knew at what point is would cut out at, or does it not cut out and just carry on discharging? Didn't understand what you meant by C12 & 4. Despite 'using my brain!' Did a longer ride today of 37 miles. 2 degrees and wet! The battery meter on the LCD...

    So going on the settings from post no 1 what does it look like my lower voltage setting is set to? Shall I leave it at that or alter it as I would like to prolong the life of the battery as much as possible.

    As I have now finished converting my trusty old Specialized Bike and given it a new lease of life, my Carrera crossfire-E is now up for sale. It is in very good condition with the later spec display etc so doesn’t suffer from the cutouts from the first gen bikes. It is a great bike with battery...

    No I copied the idea from Dave etc on here. I put it in a drinks bottle. Cut the bottle in half and then used a heat gun on the top section to expand it slightly so it slides nicely over the lower section making a weather tight seal. So on a 48v 17amp controller, what would you say would be...

    I didn't use PAS 5 much. I will try not out on the next trip. What voltage will it drop down to before it stops working? I know the battery status indicators are not accurate. Is the voltage readout a good indicator? Is P1 at 212 a suitable setting to leave it on? The numbers mean nothing to...

    Took the bike for it maiden electric voyage today. Did 24.5 miles, all pedal assist at various levels. Didn't feel much quicker than my Carrera-E but it was as I got 19 personnel bests on Strava ! With P1 set to 87 it had a limit of 15mph ( possibly set at that for uk market) changed it to 212...

    I am happy with 20mph. Will give it a go tomw and see how it performs. P1 is now at 224.

    Speed cutoff is set to 50kph. Tried P1 at 212 and 224 and it increased the displayed speed to 21mph. This is only on a bike stand so will need to finish putting it together and try it on the road. with GPS to test speed. I was just expecting 30+ mph on the bike stand..

    Thumb throttle came today. Bare wires on the end and no connector. Just pushed the contacts together as I only want it for testing. Will try and get a connector at a later date. Even with that fully open it is still maxing out at 15.2mph . 14.3mph with white wires together and 15.52 when pulled...

    Think it is all sorted now. The yellow and black wires on the new sensor were reversed. Removed the heat shrink to find the problem. I assume it was a fault in manufacture as can’t see why they would not all be universal. Not tried it on a ride yet but at least it now engages the motor up to...

    I have the following sensor fitted which does not respond. Have tried all directions and reversals etc. Do you think altering any settings will help or is it duff...

    I think the PAS sensor is duff, as I put my original one on that came with the kit ( doesn't fit ) and worked ok. Is there a way to test the sensor off the bike before I return it?

    As I am on the home run of my e-bike build I thought I would start a thread with the final touches and setting etc. Everything is together now with 48V 201rpm Q128C motor and 17A Controller and 48V 14.5AH down tube battery. The below are my LCD3 settings. Do I need to alter anything from...

    Thanks. Ordered. Asked for black, but may have to get my own paint out !

    New Q128C Motor locked..

    Ok will get me for the disc side. Any recommendations for a good one, as not keen on making my own !

    New Q128C Motor locked..

    Yes no screws or spacer from BMS. The motor had a circle of sticky tape over the disc holes. I have used washers as a temporary measure and ordered some shorter screws. 8mm. Will order the spacer above if still too long. Do you think my dropout is deep enough? Will it need a torque arm?

    New Q128C Motor locked..

    The motor did not come with any screws so I will try and find some shorter ones but they all seem to be 10mm. Or use washers/spacers. Which plastic spacer do you refer to?
