my not at all sporty boneshaker of a donor bike had zero bottle holders so i had to add them all :) without securing the riv-nuts a big cable=tie came in handy, when the lever tool arrived it took seconds to fix what i had spent hours bending allen keys attempting.. when hardware shopping i...

in order to get more speed you need to 1)remove the limit set, and 2 provide more power to the motor. since power in watts is derived from voltage and amps supplied increasing either will increase power output. so to overcome the speed limit an alternative more configurable controller and...

when you have a m5 hex headed machine screw perhaps, all mine are 3mm hex key screws, neither me or a manual or an electric impact driver could exert the required torque, I even started looking at the car and motorbike looking for a donor for a hex headed screw.. ended up embellishing the...

There must be some mechanism in place considering the volume of business this scheme generates. hopefully it will be hassle free,,

In which case it wold be a pleasure to sign up.. Cheers.

And testing the voltage output from a spinning motor, Is.... Very disappointing fun and games reinstalling the wheel, so i pulled the back brake calliper and stand to get at the back brake calliper.. I popped the wheel back in and locked it in place. dug out some crocodile clip leads trimmed...

Thanks for the tip on the bigger motor and controller/battery hookup.. And as for the easy way to test a motor ... ;) well i had not yet opened a motor so it had to get done sooner or later, and i really wanted to fight with that one bloody screw that rounded off its cross head indenture for...

Thanks @lenny, No where close to testing the unknown battery beyond the press of its self test button. However thanks for reminding me to check it out thoroughly first, any testing with a battery i may mention will be carried out with my known good fuse protected battery Cheers, this is my...

Yellow Bike motor RIP, i think at least. opening up and inspecting the controller housing was a pita due to it being held together with a messy wrap of gaffer tape. Although i had 'cracked' the case to drain and air, moisture was still present, so i stood it in the sun while i brewed a cuppa...

Thank you, just the confirmation i needed to stop a catastrophic experiment.. Google suggests that a 48v 250w direct drive hub motor could be similar in size to the hub motor pictured with the red/orange bike 6-7" diameter? while the 28a power rating of its matched controller does indicate a...

Unfortunately the Whoosh Santana seller backed off packing the bike for a courier, I dint press it as it was pretty cool of him to consider it in the first place so 1 down ;( ...And.. 2 new arrivals at the bodge it garage this oh so HOT afternoon.. .. Both with signs of rust all over...

The key word here is "pinout" a google search for 'ebike julet pinout' should get you started.. 'ebike higo pinout' looks equally fruitful

The longer the mystery lasts the more sinister the petition appears.. Its possibly for something completely reasonable like a 'Proper Brexit':) only @Saracen knows..

Gonna give us a clue as to what the petition is for before anyone clicks?

Welcome to the dark side hehehehehahaha!

Only thing i am sure of is that as soon as i decide to push my chances and slap a bigger motor in/on a bike and hop on Plod will start to take a keen interest.. and a toddler will wander under my front wheel while a local yt influencer videos it..

While it lacks the immediate response of real throttle control, 'virtual full throttle' can be obtained via setting pedal assist to max, Ghost pedaling, and rear brake lever micro control over motor on/off. Probably even worse for battery consumption than a standard throttle and you dont have...

Pretty much the same this end, However when inquiring about insurance I actually made a couple of phone calls I wanted to confirm my kit built ebike was covered and i wasnt gonna pay premiums only to not get a payout when the bike gets nicked.. Both agents i spoke to were explicitly clear that...

Check out front wheel hub dynamo systems perhaps, mine came fitted and must use capacitors as lights remain on for minutes after movements stopped.. its called the parking light feature.. 6v and leds make for a good front beam too. more than satisfactory for city urban and residential cycling...

Amazon dropped the ball, but the grease arrived this morning so i attempted to pack as much as i could around the flex feeding into the wheel hub using a small a small flat head screwdriver as a spatula. I then as suggested thread-locked the screws on the disk brake fitting too. Cheers.
