Some controllers have the facility for brakes high or brakes low to operate. As an example, brakes high need 5v to the input to cut the motor and brakes low need 0v to the input to cut the motor. So that’s another thing to check if you have a multimeter. Are you able to post a photo of the...

Maybe someone has been messing around with the wiring and connected the throttle connector to the brakes and brakes connector to the throttle.

Are you aware of the main difference between a bafang and tongshen mid drive? Both are available from reputable uk suppliers and Woosh sells both kits. If you prefer cadence pedal assist go for the bafang, but if you prefer torque assist then go with the tongsheng.

The problem is if you use a front hub motor you will lose your front brake. And a rear hub motor loses both the gears and the brake. I guess it’s why Pashley recommend you to use the BBS02 mid drive.

For my motor I set P1 to 100 after looking up the specifications because the SWX02 motor has 20 magnets and a 5:1 gear ratio. Then I set P2 to 6 because the spec says 6 pulses per wheel cycle. I also set the wheel diameter to 29” because that’s the real diameter of the tyre when fitted, not the...

That’s funny, my front disc squeals like a pig also. I’ll have to have a look at mine to see if it’s on backwards as well. I do like your springer forks. But to upgrade mine to an S will cost £300 https://michaelblast.co.uk/product/greaser-springer-kit/

You will probably have a compatibility issue with all of the connectors to the controller. When I modified my Greaser I bought a JST connector kit from eBay so I could interface the existing wiring to the KT controller. This is what NealH is referring to as SM (small block) wiring as opposed to...

I have just been browsing eBay and there are a lot of nasty bikes being advertised. These companies are just laying in wait for unsuspecting people to hit the buy it now button.

Yes it’s not instantly clear if you don’t already know the legal requirements and you do have to scroll down to the bottom of the home page and then it says: “Our emphasis is on producing the best electric bikes and to keep the price realistic. All Wing eBikes are being sold as off road eBike...

I will fit them back as I had them originally then, when the paint has had a chance to harden.

This better?

Good point I made some packing for the bottom of the battery, but have forgotten to put it in. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll go and fit it now.

There’s no chance on the derailleur side because the derailleur hanger is in the way, but there is a possibility on the brake side if I drill and tap a new hole in the frame, but I don’t want to weaken the frame because there are already 2 holes in the vicinity. I have put a pencil mark where...

I fitted an extension lead for the charger and a 125v ac marine switch to power off the controller so I don’t need to keep removing the cover to charge the battery. I’m currently looking for an appropriate bung to put over the end of the XLR connector. I used the hole that was for the original...

Here is a photo with one of the battery covers removed. The original battery and integrated controller were slung underneath the top tube and I fitted a 4 mm aluminium plate to mount the new KT48 controller.

I ordered them a few days ago and they arrived this morning and I have test fitted them. I’m going to remove them again for painting. I had to file a small relief on one of them to clear the caliper bolt and file a flat on a couple of washers. I’m very pleased with them. They are a snug fit over...

I originally had a triple chain set, so I disconnected the front derailleur gear change cable and adjusted the screws to set it up manually as a chain guide to stop the chain falling off. Maybe you could try that or fit a real chain guide. Another option is to shim the motor in the bottom...

I will have to order some. I have plenty of grease in my cupboard, but not the right stuff for an e-bike motor.

The motor is a BFSWX02 (10) with a 7 speed freewheel. The date marked on the circuit board is 27th May 2015. I stripped it down today for an inspection to see what condition it is in and was pleased to find it looked as good as new with no apparent wear on the planet gears. So it’s going back...
