Im looking to buy a 48v 15ah battery, hailong style with flat blade connectors. Any reasons not to consider the Yose power option at £233?? I fitted a Yose-power kit and am very happy with it for the most part and my gripes have little to do with the kit battery or its performance.. but...

when its necessary to leave a bike exposed in public I strongly suggest insurance is the only guarantee and if you have invested in good locks dont forget to include their value in your bikes total evaluation.

If up against a determined thief who has targeted your bike nothing really works beyond standing over it and trackers. but the better the lock the more opportunists it will deter and 2 locks is better still and even i wouldn't object to a 3rd perhaps frame lock too ;) You need a strategy for...

the £30 gold rated dlock linked to earlier is a Bargain hung over your handle bars may take 20 seconds longer to fit, but is at least solid.. ive lost too many bikes to theft (3) its a hassle best avoided and insured against. locks/security should represent a reasonable percentage of your...

I think i get it, its the aesthetic of the frame lock thats appealing to you perhaps? And if so knock yourself out fitting one for the look. Just dont use it as a security device, because if you do and become comfortable using it you will loose your valuable bike sooner or later. edit btw the...

So you dont just look like a mad max-esq ebike road warrior, you have the moves too .. forewarned n all that ;)

yes its an electrolytic cap since it needs to have a higher voltage capacity than the battery source doh! its late ..

You Star, exactly what my google skills failed to find for me.. Im sure i can find some perfboard for the job. trigger pulled on mosfets and a switch.. is that an electrolytic capacitor or isnt it relevant

Well initially it was a simple plan to isolate the battery but that works too i guess and should be A LOT easier and cheaper too which is never bad.. let me sleep on it ;) Cheers.

Not a feature supported by the controller i intend to use a but i would like to implement an ignition style on/off switch. But i somehow suspect such a thing as pictured above would not hold out very long turning on and off the battery power. I have googled for 'ebike contactor circuit'...

Thanks for the correction, not my intention to mislead.

Probably a better choice than "IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOUR TOO EFFIN CLOSE SO F' OFF!!" Better visible then hearing "sorry mate i didnt see you.."

Just guessing but if the controller is configured to use/look for a throttle and its not there, could that be the error?? if a kt controller check the relevant P and C parameters are set correctly for no throttle..

Good to hear, you should be sorted..budget smudget eh? think of the fun you will have scrapping your knuckles etc... Next time you will be better prepared too ;)

Is the controller light enabled?? if not it might be prudent to get a 1 to 4 cable too from ebay or amazon so you can return if necessary. The 1 to 5 cable has more pins including a low current light circuit at the controller end If the controller has no light feature advertised and no 2...

Am i psychic?? i have a feeling someone wants to sell stuff on ebay ooooeeerr ever so eerie

Indeed thats why i went for a step thru when i bought my last bike. 4yrs on with it and i still have fuzzy moments when i approach the bike and my body wants to throw a leg up and over but my mind is set on being sensible and i pause for what seems to me to be way too long.. What finally...

black is the common and the red/yellow wires are the signal the difference is for you to tell left from right brake wires at a glance without having to trace back.. not a problem :)

tbh first i heard about crank spacers was in @Waspy 's post above, a more standard cycle would have a round 'axle' with square tapers onto which you mount the crankset

not much visible taper to the square keys so with spacers you should be able to position a replacement where you want it
