    Why are the 9 speed levels set out like this?

    I don't think my setup is capable of it :p Tonight I properly tested every level: Here are the speeds the rear wheel goes at with the bike upside down and the wheel only pushing its own weight: Three Levels: 1 = 11.5 MPH 2 = 21 MPH 3 = 29 MPH Five Levels: 1 = 11.5 MPH 2 = 16 MPH 3 = 21 MPH 4...

    Can anyone identify this PAS magnet disc?

    Thanks but since it's not listed on their site I wondered if it's a commonly available part on sale other places.

    Is there any point adding a switch?

    That Marley guy building them on eBay uses a switch but I don't know what it is he's using, it's only a small thing. Note the fuse on the switch wire too... His listing doesn't show that image anymore but that's taken from a few weeks back, maybe he quit being silly vf400 :p I'm just not...

    Can anyone identify this PAS magnet disc?

    This PAS magnet disc has bolt recesses in it for a 64 BCD 4-bolt setup. Does anyone know where sells it or what to even search for to find it? The original video is also under the image where I took the screenshot from. The backside of it is only shown in the video for a split second. The...

    Is there any point adding a switch?

    Cheers folks. One thing I wondered is how long the (63v) capacitors hold their charge in the controller, because if that is holding enough of a charge, it stops it sparking anyway, right? At least, the 2nd time I connected (15-20 mins after the very first time) there wasn't a spark.

    Is there any point adding a switch?

    And a visual lol... but you said a 20A switch won't cope with it because way more than 20A can go through it on connection. How can it not give me a shock? After the first time connecting it I put rubber gloves on the next time!

    Is there any point adding a switch?

    I got a battery with no switch and the first time I connected it there was a spark. I assume that was the capacitor in the controller taking some current for the first time ever, because about 10 mins later when I reconnected the battery, there was no spark. Each time I had everything plugged...

    Why are the 9 speed levels set out like this?

    Cheers Nealh. By default the P850C was set to 5. I never even thought to try it on 5 and 3 to see what the MPH was.:rolleyes:

    Why are the 9 speed levels set out like this?

    I was testing my new kit and it's a typical Bafang rear hub with the P850C display and YCSV126-001-48T controller. Here's the speeds the wheel was doing at each power level 1 to 9 with the bike upside down and no stress on the wheel: Level 1 = 11.5 MPH Level 2 = 11.5 MPH Level 3 = 11.5 MPH...

    New VAT rules for overseas sellers supplying goods to UK customers - Any experiences yet?

    On a previous page I said... I meant Greenergy! Same here. If I bought it all on Amazon UK (from a seller importing it from China anyway) it would have been about £800 for the kit + battery and that's a 17.5Ah battery. From China (Greenergy and LiitoKala) it ended up costing about £560 - a...

    New VAT rules for overseas sellers supplying goods to UK customers - Any experiences yet?

    It took a while to find the review I was talking about where I worked out an average mAh but here it is. Others again have said they got cells that were around 3500 mAh, way under the stated 5000 mAh. Maybe it's hit and miss, I'll soon know if my pack is doing 30 miles when it's meant to do 50...

    New VAT rules for overseas sellers supplying goods to UK customers - Any experiences yet?

    Bafang BFSWX02 48V 500W G020.500.DC The battery pack took 9 working days to arrive - which is about the same amount of time anything else usually takes from AliExpress. I know from reviews that people buying the 20Ah packs have said it's more like 17Ah so I figured I should get 21.3Ah out of...

    Help! Stretching dropout s

    Yes I originally planned to set the caliper 5mm inwards, but then the (BB7) caliper would be touching the j-bends of the spokes, so I can't get away with it. I could get a thinner caliper, but it's more faffing than just putting the disc rotor spacers on. I am adding 5mm of spacers to the...

    New VAT rules for overseas sellers supplying goods to UK customers - Any experiences yet?

    LiitoKala battery (1200 Wh) arrived today, there were no customs charges and no handling fees. This came direct from China to UK. The VAT was paid at checkout on AliExpress. The store the pack came from is the official LiitoKala store that's been on there for 8 years, so I wasn't worried (VAT...

    Help! Stretching dropout s

    By the grace of god, my dropouts are 137.2mm when nothing is in them. Adding 5mm of spacers isn't going to stress them much. Put it this way, I was riding around for at least 1,000 miles on a 135mm hub crammed into a 130.5mm dropout (that was meant to be 135mm I might add) and never had any...

    New VAT rules for overseas sellers supplying goods to UK customers - Any experiences yet?

    Same here and I did choose China but they still shipped it from Germany, or from China > Germany > UK, either way it came from Germany to me on the last leg of its journey.

    Help! Stretching dropout s

    Sorry it's an old thread but, what happens on aluminium dropouts if you prize apart the dropouts on a 135mm and put (for example) something like a 148mm hub in there? I mean without opening it to 170mm and letting it spring back, just putting the wider hub straight in? The only reason is to...

    Are the wires swapped on some throttles?

    I know but that makes it a faff if I want to swap to a different throttle. I might do that once I have tried out one/the other. The half-twist arrived today. The plug has the same name on it and the same numbering in the same order as the original throttle that came with the kit. The only...

    When I ordered my hub kit from China, I chose China, yet it came from Germany.
