    Carrera Vengance v36 speed hack (HELP)

    Is it a new bike with a warranty etc? if so you may wish to hold off as any mods could invalidate your guarantee etc.. If brand new and you need more speed return it and buy a more suitable bike. Your pics indicate the controller talks to the battery via the canbus protocol which could...

    Aikema 250W hub motor opening problem

    Im a strong believer in ' if it aint broke dont fix it', unless your 100% confident in the dis/re-assembly procedures.. threadlocking the disk brake screws was the only waterproofing/weatherproofing advice given to me for a new kit install..

    File drop outs to fit nutted axle (Swytch ekit)

    I would probably err towards new forks, with suspension.. but if the budget jar is empty after getting the bike,,, drilling and chopping out the back of the slot is your only option, it will weaken the metal since your removing some but i doubt it will be significant enough. Perhaps a scan of...

    carrying too much on the front (mass) can have a negative impact on steering creating a strong bias as soon as you leave the straight ahead path.. (see profile pic) For lights etc amazon/ebay/aliexpress etc or your local bike shop can sell you an accessories bar to bolt onto your handle bars...

    Which PAS sensor for octalink?

    If your crank is 16-17mm in diameter the cheapest type should be ok, This type will fit a standard bottom bracket and can be fitted either side. NOT recommended sellers just google links with pictures

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    goto any car spares or h/w shop and ask for 'steel' or metal putty.. branding is not crucial, its not the strength but the putty like quality allowing you to mold it to a shape thats attractive for this use case. rubber is a tricky substance to glue i would avoid, drilling a thru hole where...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I urge you to reconsider fitting brake cut offs, the delay between stopping pedaling and the motor/controller reacting and cutting off power to the motor. Will significantly increase your stopping distance. Your brakes will wear significantly faster, they will anyway but braking against the...
