Bar-Stewards!!!! Just check the motor for the standard 9 pin connection for a sensored hub drive . And just ensure the ad you buy from explicitly states its a Sine wave controller and not the cheaper square wave option.. (fwiw i didnt, and the squarewave controller woks fine.. but isnt the...

Insurers care if the motor is rated 250w or less and if the speed is limited to 15.5mph. (a kit conversion bike s insurance value is the original bikes replacement cost + cost of the conversion kit, and if professionally fitted any receipted fitting costs too perhaps?) Best VFM is a diy...

Yikes thats an unusual config. what hills terrain do you cover that needs the 2nd motor?? you can run some controllers headless (without a display) by throttle only by shorting the pins #1 (red wire battery voltage), and #2 (blue wire, 'start') to turn it on. if julet(waterproof)...

Aliexpress Search tactics!!! Am i crazy? whenever i search ali express for a specific item the options displayed are often NOT the cheapest?? in order to find the cheaper options an incidental search sometimes works.. For example i wanted some hydraulic brake sensors and magnets, but options...

Why not fill a tube with the 'tubeless slime' ? win win surely, no leaks no seals to make and instant seal of any puncture, but if it were that easy why no wide scale adoption??

Had a w/end cycling the ridgeway planned summer on 89 iirc.. got dropped off at a pub, hit the track and hit hawthorns on the track.. didnt make it a mile befor the puncture repair kit i had was devoid of patches!! got picked up a few hours later shamefaced and bladdered. ..

Why do you think its a faulty controller/display? what battery voltage do you have when fully charged? use a multimeter the bars/leds, on batteries/displays are rough indicators at best.. If @saneagle thinks your controller/display combo is probably ok? He is worth listening to,

which led display stopped working? if a kt brand led any of the KT LCD displays should work and some can reprogram a new compatible KT led display if that aesthetic is more your style. Post pics and detail any numbers/ID markings, including the controller (silver box) label if accessible, to...

Sure beats spending weeks with plans and balsa twigs ;) unless thats your thing ...

Years ago i bought a 'smart' cat flap that would let the cat in if it had a known rf tag chip. Powered by a 12v dc supply and fitted with a 9v backup battery ala smoke alarms.. So what do you think happens when the 9v battery runs out of power?? any beeps?? any flashing leds, any leds at all...

Had to replace hinges in 20 yr old pvc windows circa 12 x sets .. ground floor was ok. 1st floor was nerve wrecking and the very light powered screwdriver was the tool of the day so light that in an awkward position one handed aiming and unscrewing of the screws retaining the hinges was much...

Ali-express - Xtra cheap bargains Charged up via usb-c (nice touch) .. popped on the bike and went to the chippie 4-5 miles away, lights were off with drained batteries before i got home, and were turned off while buying chips.. so far i have failed to break open and check/replace the...

Be mindful very cheap rechargeable lamps may have batteries that last only minutes.. Or perhaps i just buy lemons..

Rim brakes? does the rim appear excessively worn? whats the front wheel condition? how old is the wheel? Not seen the likes myself?? the pics a bit blurey is it stranded wire? or perhaps a more structural piece of the rim itself? If necessary relacing a wheel is a doddle thanks to a...

And in 1891 the discovery that sand is pants for cycling on was confirmed.

imho Even if 2x pins are ajoined on the receiving socket, dont mirror that on the input, it will limit the safe use of the charger to just the one single battery.. **Double and triple check polarity ;) XLR connectors are fairly easy to solder but the larger sized male pins can be a bit of a...

You probably have a bit of a frustrating delay over the w/end with the support from yose, If you have the patience, skill, and suitable tools to connect probe/clips to the fragile connecting pins in the julet waterproof connector its fairly simple to test the pas sensor with a 5v power supply...

If an all in one sensor And your bikes crank axle is a shade wider in diameter than the expected 17mm the sensor can 'catch' and turn until the cable is pulled taught, this can result in a very inconsistent motor engagement.. (the problem i had.. if a 2 piece with a separate magnet disk...

Sure you know but with a Bench PSU Always start with power turned down and tune up the voltage/current Never Down..

Plenty of powerful options within the regs, perhaps the wheel size of the mirider was a factor in its disappointment off road? Im more than happy with my conversion which was no harder than changing a tyre, bolting on a few bits and tidying up the wires. A great option on a comfortable donor...
