    Electric or motor technie geek advice?

    i will be setting of in half an hour to work so will see if it happens again.. I turned the wheels to check anything sticking and they moved fine. What is also odd if the problem was / is the motor is why would the actual dial at front go 'odd' at same time? if the resistance was the motor...

    Electric or motor technie geek advice?

    Hi thanks. The battery was charged to almost full this morning. Tend to use just over 1/3 to go to work and just under to come back. Ahe dial showed normal use and usual reduction to about 3 bars near home and then 'dead'. i know what you mean by slsuggishness when unpowered but this was...

    Thanks the battery terminal spades (lower area) look fine and straight and no real dirt there. Does the top connector affect charge et al at all? The lock to release top bit is a bit tight.... i think that is just a lock area though?

    Can I clarify something? Does the sensor being misaligned also affect the 'ride' if power is say deliberately switched off? Will misalignment of sensor affect the 'ride' if a battery is removed completely?

    Electric or motor technie geek advice?

    Right .. It works again (for now) but am kicking myself as I slightly adjusted the very very solid sensor and put in battery agai, after putting on charge. I did both at same time so cannot rule either sensor or battery out I guess. having said that the dial thing did cut out after 6 seconds...

    Aha.. Now which part of sensor should magnet be 'nearest'? narrow end or blobby end? seems set well solidly in place and unlikely to have moved but worth asking? Any chance photo of correct position? Ta x

    Electric or motor technie geek advice?

    Hi Odd thing happened on way back from work today with my KTM Bosch bike.... I went over a speed bump in lane, as I do slowly every day, and within a few seconds I thought the bikewas feeling a bit odd. The dial thing was half full so battery charge not a problem and it still said 'turbo'...

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    Cornwall / Cerngw basically Welsh in olden days. Language is very similar as is Breton. in fact the Welsh to Cernyweg dictionary is a bit of a waste of time as it is more or less the same words?. Ditto Breton excepts for the zeds they like to add to the words plus the accent makes it more...

    KTM Macina dual hs - the eagle has landed!!

    BUT you must have been informed (Ladybird history books do that ;) ) but I am afraid that England joined Wales not the other way around ;) After all Henry was a Welshman from grand Welsh roots .. And even better pops was from Penmynydd on Anglesey ;) Ps.. no smoke without fire these ends ;)

    20mph speed limit -applies to bikes ?

    The irony is that the unionists in so-called NI really really want a bit of what they call 'British' empire spice then my Sottish cousins hopefully want some Mel Gibson Freedom and us Welsh (not the holiday home brigade) can only look on with envy in the hope (envy and hope don't often mix) they...

    Steep Learning Curve in the Peak District.....

    Hi and welcome. Your short list seemed to match my final (and ever changing 'final') shortlist.. I decided on the KTM Macina HS dual 400 from electrifying cycles in the end due to the reach position and varying customer service issues. Another one I almost bought from electrifying cycles was...
