Morning all. I recently had the bottom bracket replaced, but the shop just handed me the PAS disc with a shrug and told me i doesn’t fit any more, as they had fitted a modern replacement. There’s a long story there but what I’ve done is carefully shape the disc to fit to the drive side and glue...

Just checked the new YP eBay shop...(my mate wants to buy one, which is why I’m checking on stuff)...what are your thoughts on: ”1000+ cycles” for the battery, and ”120-142mm” hub widths? I really strained to get my chain stays wide enough and I measured them at 135mm...his are carbon(!) and...

Not going to gush, but do want to say I appreciate the help vfr and nealh and the others provide. I popped on because my rear Yose is coming up on 6000kms since I started on it in May and wondered about what might begin to go wrong and whether it would be terminal. Reading through this thread I...

My Lishui motor is speed controlled - it will give max amps capable of/limited to in PAS 2 if I go slow enough. So no need to change to PAS 3 or 4, it won’t help more than PAS 2, at that speed. These higher settings will help you to a overall higher speed before cutting out. Very roughly, PAS 2...

Perfect. Thanks vfr

Hello. I’m merrily using my 36v Yose kit daily on some longish rides, but try to get home with the battery indicator on 2 bars (from 6 max) and voltage reading 36.1v or so. My question is, how much lower could I go on the voltage without the motor cutting out? As I’m beginning to realise, my...

Yup that would be a lot of pedaling! This is my first ebike experience, guess I was just putting down how the Lishui was working for me...l only have PAS connected, and I kind of like not needing to touch the screen during a ride. No doubt this is until I shunt a car in a queue for lack of...

I’ve got the Lishui speed based controller and I really like it. I just leave it is PAS 2 always, don’t need to think. I prefer to be doing all the work until the hill gets steep enough and my speed drops below about 16kmh? Is that what you guys are finding? As I get slower, more power goes in...

Thanks Scorpio - yes mine is an identical kit. The 350w sticker fell off my hub strangely almost immediately ;-) I’ll drop the max amps as well if I can find the instruction booklet. If you ever find out an answer to the speed cut off points and whether they can be adjusted I’d be grateful for...

Many thanks both. There’s no indication of the brand on the hub, just an embossed Yosepower emblem. I’ll try to keep going quick enough so the motor doesn’t sound like it’s groaning slowly. So I can reduce the max available amps? And another question (sorry!) - just how waterproof is the kit? Am...

Just hopping in on this thread; seems like a good spot...my 350 Yose rear kit came with the built in controller which I like as it’s so neat; my worry from reading owners comments is that the controller appears to be a weak spot, and I’m a big bloke riding and loving steep hills and it’s heading...

I just thought I’d check previous posts for my latest little problem - unexpected motor resistance on my Yose power kit. And I find this thread, and feel like an idiot again, as it’s the same with me. I was convinced the motor was offering resistance in PAS 2 when I was going too fast for it to...

Aha! Thanks Jonah. We’re allowed out to ride here now in Spain so hope to be riding every other day. I’ve read on here about storing batteries (that thread morphed into a lockdown row, but I got the gist).

Im sure I’ll get to that point when I just ‘know’ when, but still wondered if charging is best done little and often, or deep discharge/recharge. For my Makita drill, the batteries just don’t care and I ve abused that poor thing and it laps up whatever I hand out. It’s 12 years old and they...

Coming in a bit late, but Is it better to top up a battery say after each use rather than wait until it is mostly discharged before charging? My ride seems to sap 30-40pc of the charge, so I was going to recharge after the second ride, but if the battery lasts better the other way, it is easy...

Ah ok. Yes it is Yose. So the LCD speed setting isn’t reality, and as the bars disappear, my assist is also disappearing, so no bars, no assist? Thanks for the speedy reply.

I got my kit days after the lockdown (in Spain) and I’ve only gone on 2 short shopping trips (carrying that much booze in a rucksack is no joke, believe me!). This ‘power meter’ goes up to full when I first accelerate but goes down to 0 when I get up to speed. I’m assuming this is the power...

But I did use my newly-converted bike for the first time to go to the supermarket today. I didn’t know what to expect, but my broad grin when I arrived was met with frowns from the other shoppers! Looking forward to some freedom - the latest here is that lockdown may last til June. Bah!

I don’t want to argue, as the only true way we will know what will happen is after it has happened, but the temperatures in Spain, other that the last two days, have been in the low to mid 20s. That is like mid August in the UK ;-) so you may need more time /an unseasonal heatwave to let the...

Wow. Is it always like this? Perhaps more interestingly, I read an article about lithium batteries that suggested only a 2% loss of capacity after 1 year if kept at 0 degrees C at 40% charge. Practically, they suggested in the fridge, in a ziplock bag, with a bag of dessicant. Thoughts? Here...
