    Thanks. Got the same info from Dave and you are both right. Just took the bolts out and it is spinning merrily. Thanks.

    New Q128C Motor locked..

    I thought I would start a new post as the bike is near completion. I bought a Q128C from BMS and had the wheel built today. I put it on the bike and found that the hub would not turn in the dropouts. It appears locked and will not budge. This was before it had ever been connected up. I have...

    Well I connected it all up to the battery etc in case it just needed connecting to 'unlock' it. Still locked solid. Will not turn. Any ideas ?

    Carrera E replacement.

    Wheel built. I have put it into the dropouts but it will not turn ! I am sure I am doing something wrong and basic but cant see what it is. If I turn the rim, the whole thing tries to tun in the dropouts. It is as if there is no bearing and the whole central motor is solid and feels locked and...

    Thanks. I go for the first and the second is 3times the price. I will also order a better one from Ali E for a spare..

    Carrera E replacement.

    Shocking price! As I paid $3 for the last one... Any good eBay sellers you guys recommend. A link to a suitable sensor would be great.. Old one in spares bin.

    Carrera E replacement.

    So the one you mentioned fits to the drive side and not as this one I have? I managed to trim down the splines and get it to fit on ok, but as you say there is not enough room for it and the axle cannot tighten down fully. In the bin with that one ! Anywhere in the uk for one I need as I...

    Carrera E replacement.

    Started getting a few parts arrive now. Is this PAS sensor the wrong type ? I assume it is for square bottom brackets. Do I order a different one for Octalink or trim this one to fit?

    Well the Q128C motor has arrived from BMS and the 17A controller is in transit somewhere at the inward office of exchange ! 17-01-2018 23:19 UNITED KINGDOM Arrived at processing centre (inward office of exchange) I have done a little homework on the basic settings for the LCD3, ( wheel size mph...

    Ok thanks. I take it that is is worth the little extra for the better cells?

    Carrera E replacement.

    Thank. I think the ready made frame battery is the best bet for me at the moment. Are the 2 Hairon batteries mentioned above, different ? The eBay one at £250 is listed as 14.5ah and the direct one at $262 is listed as 13ah. http://www.pswpower.com/peng/iview.asp?KeyID=dtpic-2017-7M-D4MX.9PERW...

    That Hairon 18650 battery was the one I was looking at in post 78. How would that compare range and power wise against the Lipos listed above.? Think the easier option of the 18650 battery looks a good one with a lot less trouble..

    Carrera E replacement.

    So guys, what would be the best combo of 5S or 6S Lipos which is physically the smallest for my 48v requirement. Would two 22.2v Lipos be enough? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-graphene-professional-12000mah-6s-15c-lipo-pack-w-xt90.html I am not looking for super powerful, fast bike, just...

    Carrera E replacement.

    I was just thinking about the battery as there are more options at 36v. As the motor is 48v then I will look at 48v battery options. Lipo or otherwise. From my little bit of research, any useful Range Lipo battery for 48v setup would be a big unit, which defeats my main reason for using Lipo.

    Following on from another thread I am now looking what battery to get for this kit. Is it Lithium Ion as below, or go for the smaller Li-po batteries...

    There does seem a lot to the lipos. With that in mind what would be available in Lipo for a 48v hub motor. (Q128C) and 17A controller? I can start my homework then !

    Well that cost is a good incentive. I’ll look into it for my Specialised project. I’m tall enough to have the ‘under the seat’ number too. Any pictures of the inside of the bag?

    I must look into these Lipos. I know they are not as simple to maintain/ use, but got to be worth a look.
