    Chances of marrying a Swytch front wheel with a Yose (Lishui) controller.

    Did you try the '350w display' with the 15a controller? like op may have? Yose-Power may compound the issue by selling 2x brands of 15a controller, with the cassette kits its a JYT brand controller supplied, this may be the one with problems?? Its the type i have and after reading about issues...

    What's new?

    You can buy a backlight thats 'smart' and can detect slowing down due to braking and shine a bit brighter to emulate a brake light.. ;) Other than bleeding edge sports enhancements and an eventual trickle down I think that about sums it up ;)

    What's new?

    Not knowing the 2014 Freggo bike and too lazy to google, probably not a lot, possibly better hydraulic brakes, perhaps a bit of a nominal upgrade in the gearing, up to date colour scheme/design? but if the 10yr old battery is getting tiered, your best bet is probably just to get a new battery ;)

    Chances of marrying a Swytch front wheel with a Yose (Lishui) controller.

    If you can change settings beyond speed metric and wheel size its not a 'restricted' 250w kit display but a 350w/18a kit display. there may be a compatibility issue down to the f/w implementation? I seem to recall reading reports of failure attempting to use a 350w kit displays sold as an...

    Why Ride Rad?

    In order to travel south, south east out of town from here i need to take bendy 2 lane b unlit country roads with tall hedges and national speed limit, Not really an option on my 'city bike' and at night simply a frightening prospect, a comparable speed to other road users is a must for safety...

    Oxygen S Cross MK2 Display Compatibility

    The 'trick is to feed new wires in 1 at a time, the biggest plugs first as plugs present the biggest problem, then use tape to form a conical shape over the plug and around the feed cord to help guide, gaffer tape is the best but a pita to remove.. and ensure the knot in the loop is always far...

    Oxygen S Cross MK2 Display Compatibility

    or tie a cord to one end of the wires you pull out to pull the new wires in with, use a long enough length so you can tie the ends together as a loop and cable tie new wires to it as needed, only cutting and removing when done. the loop also ensures it stays in place, without it you will stand...

    Why Ride Rad?

    So Op's Motor could be 500w, OP- your aftermarket display should have enough bells and whistles to display watt expenditure under load? so how many watts does your motor consume when pushed under load, iirc a 'legit 250w' motor can consume 7,800w+ with a sufficient controller and battery if...

    Why Ride Rad?

    I never realised it was quite that blatant!! but if rated at 500w in one market they are defacto 250w safe too. so its not wrong.. just highlights the problem using power rating as a limiting metric.

    Why Ride Rad?

    Clarity please, is it a 250w 'mislabeled' motor flying under the regs with a hobbled f/w in the off the shelf display that you have over-ridden with a aftermarket display? or something else?

    Hall wires in sparta ion hub motor

    I woulds start with a google search for a pinout diargam of the motor to controller connection, and connect up accordingly, you may need to trial and error the 3 signal wires for the right sequence but as long as the 5v and ground are clearly identified the only thing that should get fried is...

    Motor Controller Not Working

    Do the 'self learning' display free controllers work out of the box without going through the 'learning' procedure? I dont know not having used one.. But i would imagine not. Hook it up to the motor and battery and follow the learning procedure for your controller and then test the...
