    BAFANG BBSO2 MOTOR PROBLEM

    Any idea how much replacement controller is? I've priced LCD at £60 so controller is likely £100 plus so not being sure motor is not fried as well, it is looking like a complete kit at £387 maybe safer way to go. Would you agree?

    No I gave him three sets of 2 times 5 cell Lipo's, to be honest, the sale happened so quickly, he was mad keen to get on the bike, I am not sure what charge the batteries had. His experience of bike electrics is very limited. Thanks for your later post, that's my job for tomarrow Cheers

    Rear sprockets have a load of play.

    Have you had the wheel off and checked the locking nut that holds the cassette in place on the freewheel splines? Obviously you need the splined extractor nut to do this.

    Thanks, sounds as you what you are doing, unlike me pushing my limited knowledge to the limit. No idea what HK XT 60 premade' s are? Like the watt meter idea, do you have a link to them?
