The state of the battery case makes me wonder if the battery is loosing connection when bumped about, this may be evident if the battery connections show any spark or arcing damage?? and would result in post bump cut outs, similar issues in the past have been resolved with shims and wedges to...

Speed bumps and some road conditions when you come across them at 15mph can be very shocking and could be the reason behind your battery case damage and the cut outs for sure. the phantom rubbing and a short trip resulting in jelly legs however might be a different mechanical issue with the...

Perhaps, my direct experience is with cadence sensors , hope i wasn't misleading, or shooting too wide.. Also in my ignorance i missed the fact OP has a mid drive not hub.. whoops!! However sensor/bike response should be noticeably different between levels and on hills Mrs OP may have the start...

However, almost forgot to add.. IF the difference between levelse of assistance selected at the handlebar interface is not vast(from one end to other) or noticale when stepping up/down, your torque sensor may be faulty. Even with a torque sensor with the highest level of assistance and the...

more expensive and sophisticated bikes can have torque sensors for the motors which let the control systems provide assistance depending on the input from the pedals, while cheaper systems tend to use simple cadence sensors that just detect the pedals moving around, to engage assistance. you...

btw i am fully aware my budget priced ebike conversion is not likely to be the target of those focusing on high value bikes..

I must be a 'wrong un' when i see the pics of gangs mugging an ebike like above i see an opportunity for a free upgrade as at least one of the muggers is ridding something more expensive.. my dlock would be round that wheel faster than they could notice.. Yes granted if in the actual...

Google shows me links to bikes with 1000w motors??? can you provide links to the dealer and bike you bought? If the dealer is a UK bricks and mortar business you should be OK.. Many bikes sold internationally have a EU/UK model or variant which is often legal some can be iffy, and some...

I didn't pay the dollar for access to the kickstarter or a reserved offer place if/when it opens? but the ad page suggests both 36 and 48v versions will be (are?) available.. The $330 price tag would relate to the 36v and 48 would be higher but my reading of the ad suggests the offer is not...

The above link https://get.gouach.com/ takes you to an ad page for the promo but the 'reserve an invite' links which suggest access to the kickstarter offer takes you to a $1 via CC to secure your offer place page which raised my eyebrows..

Certainly shows promise.. even tho it has an app :( its NOT App Dependent (so far) the $1 buy in to get the deal is as fishy as a fish.

one of these?? #1 check the battery voltage, after fully charging. #2 ensure all cables are intact and fully connected, #3 and ensure battery contacts are clean and make a good connection when the battery is slid home. #4 check the crank axle for a magnetic disk and ensure its aligned...

Is an e-trike a good idea, I have only had very limited experience with rigid frame trikes, but the outstanding memory is how BAD it was at cornering.. If determined i would consider investing in a kt brand controller so you can not only configure the bike to run without the need for pas input...

thank goodness both this and the £245 folder are finally out of stock.. I dont need another ebike but the bargain hoarder in me was itching for a fix.. Hope all that got a bargain are happy with their new bikes and thanks for removing the temptation ;)

Sympathy.. I recall how i felt on finding my last bike missing from where it had been left..

An interesting vid on youtube from linus tech tips recently where they attempted recelling a couple of significantly smaller 18650 packs 8x and 4x iirc.. It indicates that learning to weld batteries could be both hazardous and expensive - tho the welder used seemed to be a bit overpowered...

Interesting pic.. Thats what i call a Butchers bike, probably because i recall a city Butcher using one as an eye catching prop for the daily specials board when i was a lad. Looks like your shops are safe from the faridge thugs.. ;)

Probably the best solution to travelling at 20 mph on an ebike would be to use the motor to assist you upto 15mph, drop into a suitable gear and push a bit on the pedals.. 20 mph is quite speedy on the best condition rds, could be worth getting an ebike and seeing how you go at 15mph first...

I'm not arguing against the KT brand controllers being superior just that for some the 'Kr@p' controllers can be sufficient for pottering around. I think my yose kit was shipped with the 'worst' controller (Lin brand?) Its worked fine however even if i cant make any config changes beyond...

Hi and welcome.. +1 to what @az says.. I would fit and experience the kit you have before making any firm decisions on the next build tho ;) List any deficiencies in the kit you have and im pretty sure the guys in the know can advise on kit and systems within the regs to meet any criteria...
