    Squeeking Help needed. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGewmJynA/

    have you used a power washer on the bike? Im sure you have ruled out tyre rubbing and brake rubbing.. but it sure sounds like squeaky brakes.. perhaps its dry bearings perhaps flushed out with a pressure washer?? (just guessing)

    help with brakes

    Be careful to 1) line up the plug/socket correctly, and 2 push all the way home.. afaik the 'waterproof' connector option for ebike controller/peripherals is a real pita if/when any fault finding/fixing is involved, and the tiny pins are Very fragile.. (It seemed like a good idea/option when...

    S866 head unit - new version?

    No manual links via the supplier? if not check the available manuals for manufacturer details and try that route? If with a bafang mid drive - look via bafang etc.. Displays are often f/w paired with the controller, So details of the system and bike would be useful, pictures may require a...

    Got a link to the kit your considering? google suggests a vapourware friction drive ?? if so why? whats the motivation? afaik all such solutions only deliver a fraction of the performance of hub or mid drive options?

    Help! Decade old Diamond (Batribike)

    Cheers, Talk of deterring thieves , only needing a switch on/off, and not connecting handlebar controls (throttle brake cut offs) made me think you wanted a display free (headless) handlebar, as a stealth precaution? wasnt sure tho?

    Help! Decade old Diamond (Batribike)

    I think your looking for problems.. ;) If the linked to manual pictures correctly indicate the current controller is housed in the current battery base in the rack? you need only source a similar rack style replacement battery. This will arrive with its own empty base which you should have...

    Oxygen S Cross CB MK11

    Ok i missed the bike full id in the title and searched for freego oxygen doh!, That bike sure looks more 15mph capable ;) Yeah, probably not the bike you would have bought if you expected to want to upgrade the control system.. If applicable a return might be worth consideration? if looking...

    Oxygen S Cross CB MK11

    Got any pics of or links to your bike? google suggests a rigid step thru shopper which sounds unlikely to be shifting at speeds over 15 mph comfortably?? (tho i could be letting the limitations of my local rds colour my perception) A controller upgrade should resolve most of the issues...

    Bosch motor after 4 years

    Why so loyal to Bosh and how can they stop you fitting an aftermarket compatible motor on a 4yr old bike? If the bike suits your needs and the bearing issue is unlikely to spawn countless knock on issues and problems involving further hassle and expense?? £275 spread over the extended life of...

    Help! KT52ZWSRCLD is it square or sine wave?

    the 6 pin hall sensor connector is an indicator its a sensor'd controller, and to the best of my understanding having read similar guides, after buying a 'great ebay deal' its probably a square wave controller. Its supposed to provide a rougher noisier ride than a sinewave controller, Mine isnt...
