    Chances of marrying a Swytch front wheel with a Yose (Lishui) controller.

    Thanks Saneagle. The swytch wheels I have are all 9-pin so it should be ok then. Will post the result when I get the cable I’m waiting for.

    Chances of marrying a Swytch front wheel with a Yose (Lishui) controller.

    Well I suppose it’s worth giving it a try at least. I’ve seen that the PAS has the same number of magnets as the Yose kits (12) so I’m not expecting that to be an issue. Posts I’ve seen here when Swytch wheels have been used with KT controllers have given me the believe that there are parameter...

    Chances of marrying a Swytch front wheel with a Yose (Lishui) controller.

    Hi. In my “bag of bits” I have a Swytch front wheel, and also from a different source, a Yose(Lishui) controller (photo attached) with a C500 display. Do I have any chance of marrying these together - considering that there doesn’t appear to be any settings on the C500 for wheel parameters...

    Yose and Hailong

    Hi Peter. The contacts are too far towards the end of the mount for my battery. I've found something on Amazon that should do the job. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battery-Original-Electric-12-5Ah-Holder/dp/B0CC4MRZWS

    Yose and Hailong

    Hi Az. Yes, thanks. I’ve seen that one. It’s the right form-factor but it has an integral Lishui controller that I don’t want, as I’m keen to move to a KT controller. I know I could discard the controller but it would double the cost. I’ve since discovered that I’m looking for a Hailong Plus...

    Yose and Hailong

    Hi all. I’m trying to find another mounting rail for my Yose 15.6Ahr battery pack - so that I can mount it on either of my two bikes. There seems to be some “synergy” between Yose and Hailong when I look at the adverts. Do Yose use Hailong mountings? Anyone know ther best place for me to look...

    Swytch Pro/Max yellow battery connector secrets revealed?

    I’ve just finished modding my wife’s Swytch Max bike so she can have extra (non Swytch) batteries, and still use a Swytch pack if she likes for shorter journeys. The transistor thing screwed to the back of the Swytch handlebar battery holder is a twin 30A schottky diode (number visible in...

    How unique are the keys

    You've put my mind at ease. Yes, I can see that it would be easy to brute it off, but I should be ok to leave it during lunch at the pub. I live in rural Devon so don’t feel too at risk. thanks all.

    How unique are the keys

    Hi all. I think I know what the answer will be, but I’ll ask anyway! I’ve bought a Yose 36v 15.4Ah down-tube battery pack. It comes with a lock and keys to stop it being easily removed from the bike. My question is, how unique are these keys? Does everyone with a Yose battery pack have the same...

    Posting Lithium batteries in the UK

    Hi all. I’ve been mulling over selling a couple of Swytch Max batteries now I’ve moved onto bigger battery packs. The obvious choice for me is putting them on ebay. The problem comes in what to offer regarding postage, as Collection Only is rather limiting when looking for a big audience. The...

    swytch

    In my Swytch Max experience I’m down to around 28v from the fully charged 41(ish)v before one of the five battery LEDs goes out - long after my handlebar display has dropped a led or two. I therefore ignore the battery indicator leds and use the display leds as more truthful. When I’m down to...

    Charger recommendation

    I don’t think that there is a charger out there that’ll give you 42v smack on the nose every time. You might buy something “worse” than you currently have. What charger and battery arrangement do you currently have?

    Charger recommendation

    The thing is, the best chargers are now made in China, and the worst chargers are made there too. You don’t necessarily have a mainsteam manufacturer’s name to make the choice by, and the price is absolutely no indicator of quality either. Tread carefully!

    Charger recommendation

    I can’t think that 42.1v is an issue. A 0.2% variance on a standard multimeter (or anything else electrical) is nothing to worry about. Others might disagree though…

    Swytch Pro/Max yellow battery connector secrets revealed?

    I can’t follow your link, but anyway I would be very careful when buying any charger - it’s dangerous territory. There’s a few genuine Swytch chargers for sale on ebay. These are excellent quality and trust-worthy. Yes, they are around £30, but cheaper ones are risky.

    3rd Gen Swytch MAX Battery lights

    I use four Makita batteries on my Swytch Max setup. four are good for up to 20 miles of moderate assistance. Not worth doing unless you already have the batteries because a 36v decent battery pack is a lot cheaper than using Makitas. Makita batteries also are highly protected by the onboard BMS...
