    Think i might need talking down..

    Project shrink. .with circa 123 leds I did a rough wrap round to estimate the number of leds required, the final leds will sit under the box lips front and rear, hopefully providing a flood light effect?? so final count could differ, but its enough to determine power requirements.. While...

    perhaps someone should mention the price premium charged for replacement batteries in a custom form to fit an integral frame mount if available at all. The extreme example being the recent post regarding a ktm battery circa £1.5k with 20% off iirc..

    new to kt controllers ive just read the manual a little but the last entry is about settings to another headset, could OP's 880 display receive the settings from another lcd headset? or is it a feature available only with lcd headsets ?? it would be great if you could program a less...

    fwiw with V brakes your wheel rims could be showing signs of wear within a month .. yes RIM WEAR!! it freaked me out to find the ridges gone on my front wheel after only a few weeks of ebiking.. when your stopping from 15mph virtually every time your brakes work A LOT HARDER.

    Think i might need talking down..

    About a day after first installing my hub kit I was chatting with a chap over on pedelec.de who suggested a new controller would be a good idea and i bought one.. well it turns out my bike performs just fine and after an initial pas hicup (wrong sensor type for my bike) I cant fault it beyond a...

    48v 15ah hailong battery options.

    No guarantees but without wanting to deep dive on every company officer before any purchase a few easy to tick checks help ease my peace of mind, but its still a punt at the end of the day just one i hope with better odds. Im not suggesting the criteria i employ to ease my own mind are the best...

    48v 15ah hailong battery options.

    Indeed my first browse round to set expectations was leading me to think i would need to spend £400ish (20ah 48v rack mounted target) from a UK supplier standing behind quality cells, Ali-express ads often promise quality cells for too little. which leads to blanket doubt since even crappy...

    48v 15ah hailong battery options.

    its very wobbly atm no tight spokes, many broken and its no wonder why the bike it was fitted to had only a throttle speed control and NO brake sensors.. its amazing how well the bike survived.. the rim isnt perfect but then its not too far gone either, well within a skilled wheel bods ability...

    It may seem a tad pedantic but its the difference between 'rule' and rule. Your 10% 'rule' is a guideline @Saracen not a rule.. Sometimes language is very important and in a technical arena the difference between a rule and a guideline is Vast. but we all get it so,, all good ;)
