    Cheap Comfortable Saddle

    Thanks for the links. Both wide saddles look nice and wide. What complicates matters is that the support that runs across the rear springs has to be arched as the seat post on the bike has a lever that is lifted upwards to tilt the seat forward so the battery can be removed. The solution might...

    Adjusting PAS levels of assist on Engwe EP2-Pro

    Hi paul, I’ve read these posts with interest as I’ve not long purchased an Engwe L20SE, 250 watt and I’ve the same issue with not having an option to change the PAS power output settings. In fact there isn’t even the option to change the default 5 PAS settings to 7 or 9 levels but only managed...

    Specify best conversion outcome for same cost as Argos recent bargains

    My brother in law bought an opollo 26” mountain bike for £160 from Halfords as he wanted a bike he could convert to an E-bike. Bearing in mind he just wanted to cycle from a-b for some exercise, this bike did him as he wasn’t going to do any actual mountain biking. he bought the same e-bike kit...

    Specify best conversion outcome for same cost as Argos recent bargains

    On the subject of gearing I have 14 teeth on the cassette, 48 teeth on the crank with 26” wheels on my trike with e-bike kit and pedalling in top gear is ok at 15 mph, you don’t want to be doing more than 15mph on a delta trike. with the same cogs on my 22” wheeled e step thru I’m ghost...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    Yes I have, but get challenged by security the 1st time they see me. It meets the UK‘s requirements for ‘a vehicle constructed or adapted for use by a person with disabilities’. Various size and weight limits apply which the trike meets easily. Other requirements are: must have a form of...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    I think it was on here somewhere that I read that the throttle operating only when pedalling and being limited to 4 mph only applied to distributors and sellers and not a bike or trike that was 1st used as a bicycle or trike then had an e-bike kit fitted to it. I don't know how true that is. If...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    Plod can definitely do you for riding on a path and if it’s deemed to be reckless riding you can end up in court as happened to a cyclist in London who struck and injured a pedestrian on a footpath in London. if found guilty you can’t get points on any licences you have but you can get a ban...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    Thanks for the guidance. The KT controller seems to be the way to go but my controller is built into the battery housing so would to change both and the display to suit. With hindsight I should have bought the kit with the KT controller. I also ride the trike on footpaths and in my town centre...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    I’m well confused reading all this. i have a Yosepower Kit and went for the 250w front wheel model in an attempt to be road legal when i fitted it to my trike myself, but from what I’ve read it not legal as the thumb throttle can power the motor to 15mph without pedalling. Having read the...

    Yose power 36V 250W 6km/h limit

    Did you find out if the throttle can be set to a limit of 6kph/4mph? I didn’t see this covered but I did come across a setting in my display giving the option of throttle y/n which was full power of walk mode but it didn’t get up to 4mph with my fat @rse on the trike.

    Help with Pedal Assist settings

    I personally found the 0-5 setting too aggressive so have changed mine to 0-9 with the power settings starting at 20 for PAS 1 and increasing by 10 for each of the next 8 PAS modes ending at 99 for PAS 9. This means more pressing of the +/- button to change the PAS throughout its range but the...

    On the subject of motors, and forgive me if this isn’t the right place to ask , but ’m looking to replace my existing yosepower front hub, 26v, 36w, 26” rim Juliet connector with a hub of the same specs that I’ve found on Amazon and eBay. My layman question is, is there any guarantee this will...

    Good points made. I’m not objecting to them, they came with the kit so fitted them anyway.

    New to electric bikes - advice

    On the subject of motors and controllers and with the wealth of info here, could anyone tell me of a front or rear hub motor that would be the same as my current yosepower front hub which has part number AKM20153120066 95RS. F250-3626 and is set in a 26” wheel. I ask as I intend to mount the...
