    Using UK 13amp plug appliance wire to connect controller to battery?

    I see. Will have to just see once i've put everything together then. Btw, do I need to buy a torque arm? The seller says i dont need one because the akm74sx 250w front hub motor is low powered but thought i should get one anyway just in case. Do I need a torque arm on both sides of the fork...

    Wow, didn't expect to get that much assisted range! That's pretty good. What do you reckon if throttle only? So the pair of 2x batteries won't have any problems meeting the 15amp max continuous discharge rate? Once the motor kit arrives from China I'll update everyone with the actual figures...

    If possible, 3 miles throttle only should be enough. It's mostly to help me overcome hills on my commute whilst keeping the Brompton light. Then I could leave another pair of total 36v4ah at work for the commute back. I've linked the controller in the initial post. It says rated 7amps with max...

    You're right. 2x batteries in series will indeed be 2p10 (total 20 cells and 36v4ah). That should be enough to get me to town and back on my16 inch brompton. It's mostly to assist with the hills. How do I check the batteries' continuous discharge rate? These are the power tool batteries I have...

    Apologies. I've attached a picture. The left grey cable was taken from a fridge freeze. The right black from a microwave. The middle is 10 awg. Thank you. By silicone do you mean the outer sheath? Does it matter if core is solid or stranded? Also can I mix 14awg cable with my already attached...

    Using UK 13amp plug appliance wire to connect controller to battery?

    Hi, Sorry if this question sounds silly but I'm still learning about ebikes. I got a 250w motor kit with this kt controller rated 7amps, max 15 amps. The plan is to use 2x power tool batteries in series - Each rated 20v 4ah, which will give me 4p10s = 40v 4ah (each cell is actually 3.7v...
