    Charger with ability to undercharge / change charge speed - UK Based

    +1 you need a basic segment timer voltmeter and alarm on your phone/watch.. forgive the lesson in egg sucking.. you will have been given some charging performance info such as it will take 2,3,4 or X hours to fully charge your battery, We can assume that this will be from a 'fully'...

    Think i might need talking down..

    @guerney Some solid potting compound seals the rear of the battery socket and controller pcb connections, and the enclosure fits together with steel 'guillotines' to chop/cut into any unexpected wires in the cramped space housing hot pcb components clamped to a steel base plate. not a luishi...

    Think i might need talking down..

    Thanks for the pointer/link @AntonyC ive got a small 1 or 2a constant voltage converter thats sufficcient to power the switchset and relays, the switchset is wired with the thinnest wires drive 2-3a of leds through them and it will tun into a short lived hand warmer i suspect

    Think i might need talking down..

    Cheers and Yes thats covered with avoltmeter, though a lipo alarm could be useful in addition just in case i dont look/check.. @guerney its do-able but would involve significant plastic surgery and compromising isolation and waterproofing measures. every time i unhook it open up and have a...

    Think i might need talking down..

    I may have stalled/paused this project but its not forgotten. I hit a bit of a snag with the initial plan as branching off the main battery feed proved tricky with the in sled controller set up, leading me to consider a secondary independent battery supply for the lights etc. Also providing...

    Wisper Wayfarer M7 age and granny gearing

    As long as the chain ring swap over is a simple mechanical job, i say job go for it, it will give you an instant appreciation of the change in gearing and if you dont like it you can switch back easy enough. Fwiw my not in the same class cycle is fitted with a 36t chain ring with c700 sized...

    how to engage electric only on YL20C

    Hi welcome , Thats a long sentence.. the most basic way to ride without pedal assist is to simply turn off the battery. that way you dont waste any valuable battery power running the controller leds etc. Not quite sure what you mean by 'engage pure electric' or what exactly you want? while...

    Help! Used E-Bike pricing and selling suggestions

    Perhaps Mr @Woosh may care to comment, my perception is that virtually everything looses 30% when bought? and when it comes to ebikes, unless you have a smart app generated history of charge and discharge for the battery since bought you have to accept many buyers will have low expectations and...

    Help! Mid Hub motor or front wheel motor?

    I have a rebuilt conversion you can buy for £250 without the battery (that, i bought new and would want full reimbursement for) Not a quality bike, steel frame, sprung front forks in not the best condition but working, mechanical (cable) disk brakes 1000w rear hub direct drive motor 48v 28a...

    LCD Display.

    I had problems when replacing my front brake blocks a few months into ebike ridding after about 3 years on the bike with the original blocks.. I simply didnt know to look for the tiny circa 1or 2 mm hex screw on each brake arm to adjust the springs so the gap between block and rim could be...

    ahha .. just read this after the long answer to your other post @pip48 yeah the lack of 48v battery option is just because your using a 36v controller and not a dual voltage controller ;) Be mindful of just how bumpy some rds will be at 15mph so only use pas level 5 when its ultra smooth...

    LCD Display.

    An alternaitve yose controller upgrade is the yose power controller /battery sled for the 350w kit and its matching c500 headset (the 250w kit display will not work fully with the 350w controller). if you have the 350w kit wink wink scrub all the above the controller should be 'international'...

    LCD Display.

    Sounds similar to my kit differing in the controller brand alone, first place i landed looking for controller info was pedelec.de where some controller gurus have alternative f/w for some controllers possibly yours? but not mine. Generally speaking the option to change voltage would only...

    LCD Display.

    Is your controller not recognizing your battery as 36v or giving you an error code?? or are you diligently following the international manual? If plugged in and showing a healthy voltage (close to 42 fully charged) and no error codes, and all sensors brakes and pas are fully plugged in ? you...

    LCD Display.

    The yose-power 250w kit i fitted over the summer came with the same display. Your limited by the eu/uk compliant controller firmware.. It limits the settings that the end user can change to just the speed display metric km/h and wheel size, though this effects only the speed display and not...

    Conversion costs

    Is there no other route than the one that requires such speeds I assume for safety reasons?

    Are Ventura chains any good?

    My hands on experience with cycle stuff is limited, so the above 'translation' was just a poor joke.. .. The Packaging is simply reminiscent of the cheap market sourced stockings that a particular ex willingly offered up for rough hand treatment.. ;) Warm memories for a cold Sunday, and...

    Would certainly have been beneficial for @apwb to land in here when first having problems with the original kit, but it shouldn't take too long for exposure to this place to rub off and the old kit could get revived for a family members or friends bike in no time.

    Are Ventura chains any good?

    I put "fahrradkette" into google translate and it came back with "sheer nylon stockings"
