    Fitted eBike Alarm Today

    We've all done it.... :) For sure its another deterrent, I don't take bike out if I know I'll need to leave it out sight or earshot (now) for more than a few mins. The Kryptonite D-lock, 2 cables and the alarm gives some peace of mind, you would be very unlucky if 'Angle Grinder Joe' happened...

    Fitted eBike Alarm Today

    That link is pretty much same device as you say, your's has some additional fittings though. I suppose it depends on what type of seat you have, I managed to get some cable ties around it pretty tight under seat metal bars but you need to make sure the speaker is not restricted. The padded...

    Help! Would like have a professional consultant please

    It's kinda hard to tell from the photo but it's probably a 250W motor or was advertised as that when new. I doubt a new controller or higher voltage battery will make much difference top speed wise, I would just enjoy the ebike for what it is and look at buying a more powerful...

    Regarding the controller, what kind of motor do you have, is it a rear hub, what is it rated at in Watts?

    You battery pack is 48V however most batteries in this world when fully charged are actually at a higher voltage, for instance your 12V car battery will show normally 14+V when fully charged. Similarly: A 48V pack fully charges at 54.6V A 52V pack full charges at 58.8V If you're not getting...

    Have you checked in the display software that a speed limit hasn't been set? Google how to access settings and what they mean. GL!

    A good 48V 13S battery should read 54.6V after full charge so you're almost there, I would assume the battery is still in reasonable condition, hope you are using the charging power adaptor that came with it though and not a 3rd party. The issue you might have is the controller in pic is 10A...

    Battery switch playing up

    What type of battery pack do you have, removable, for example a Hailong with a rocker on/off switch? If it's removable then when removed it will draw no current as it has no load so no discharge. Unless the switch shorts in which case you may well have a fire... If the battery pack has a...

    Do you leave your display attached to your ebike, when leaving it locked in a public place?

    If you want a truly 'removable' display then really it has to be Bluetooth with a suitable controller and twist off mount or the like, um but you still need power. But would you feel safe in heavy traffic relying on BT or BLE....what if it drops when you need to get out of there, no power so...

    Do you leave your display attached to your ebike, when leaving it locked in a public place?

    Would be interesting if there were any stats available on how many ppl have had their ebikes displays vandalised/stolen? It's also a good point that your ebike is crippled without it. I can't see anyone bothering with the small LCD ones however the colour screen I have could be construed as...

    Do you leave your display attached to your ebike, when leaving it locked in a public place?

    If you look at the image you can see the KT colour display, it isn't the smallest however what I do is tighten the two connectors so that I can still move rotate it back/forward, so if I'm recording video on phone in orange cradle I rotate display forwards underneath so not blocking camera, I...

    hidden throttle gas needed?

    Interesting, my rear hub 1500W brushless/gearless motor kit is advertised at 45 NM torque, I wonder how realistic that figure is?

    hidden throttle gas needed?

    1. cut the throttle cable near handlebars and install a waterproof motorbike connector for quick disconnect for wiring. 2. you will need a 'quick release' mechanism to quickly remove the physical throttle, maybe a custom 3D printed one? Then you can still use it as normal. Are you using an...

    Another Ebike conversion kit death

    He makes a good point that even with loads of new heavy duty laws and standards to be met that most manufacturers will simply lie that they are compliant and how does this address fakes/counterfeits? Remember Volkswagen emissions scandal and others?

    Another Ebike conversion kit death

    I live on second floor of an Edwardian Glasgow tenement, with two kids flown (one moved to Australia at 19), one of spare rooms has been storage/bike room for over a yr now. Outside there is grassy bank that drops by 1/2 metre so anything falling out of that window will bounce down the lawn and...
