I think that is standardish behaviour from cheap, speed based controllers. I set my Bafang rear hub ( G020 / SWX02) kit to 9 PAS levels. The lower power levels kick in after a small amount of pedal rotation and do help you accelerate, but on the flat, I am cycling using my own pedalling...

Hi All I am new to all things ebike, I fitted a Yose Power 250w rear wheel kit over the weekend while taking the opportunity to upgrade from 6 to 8 speed at the same time. Having been screamed past by overpowerd ebikes for the last 5 years or so only to se the rider walking the next week made...

Controller removed from crank motor. 29V enters controller 0V comes out. On/off head (handlebar) switch now not lighting up & has 8 multicoloured wires. Anyone know which 2 colours are the power on/off?

Normally, you'd remove that cable guide arrangement and run the cables in outers around the motor, but that guide on the front of the downtube looks like it might interfere. You could grind it back , or it's possible that the motor would fit vertically downwards, which might be OK for commuting...

There are two versions of the Wayfarer. The OP of ths thread is about the H7, which is the rear hub-motor version and the one you said your wife has. It has a bolted on axle, not quick release nor through axle. The M7 is the crank-drive version, which has a QR rear axle.

Brighton Bikes too. They do a lot of crank motor conversions. It's not exactly difficult to do it yourself. Why pay someone else?

I was quite liking it until I saw the price. That's much too much considering the measly 360wh battery. They charge £40 for a throttle that you can buy from Aliexpress for £5 including delivery. If that kit were £600, I might try it, but three times that price is ridiculous. You can buy a...

There's chain drive too from Cyclone as a possibility. GNG do a range of crank and chain drives that don't wrap around the bottom bracket. https://gngebike.com/mid-drive-kits https://eclipsebikes.com/cyclone-c-4/ You can use any hub-motor you want in the front, but you need to get one with the...

It definitely sounds like my riding style with this bike is more suited to a mid drive, I would never want to cycle with the kids at 20mph around little streets.

Oh wow, yeah that really makes it clearer. If only I had asked some questions on this forum way back rather than taking the torque outputs at face value! Do you know if there any decent but cheaper alternatives to the Bafang, are Tongsheng recommended?

When you choose a hub-motor, it's speed is very important. You should get one that spins with a naximum speed that's approximately 1.3 times your modal speed, so if you want to ride slowly, you choose a slow motor. Motors, like the XF08 are mainly a one size fits all. It spins to 20 mph at 36v...

That's because your motor is not working in its sweetzone under 10mph, the yield drops, more battery turns into heat. There is a tool on the ebikes.ca website to simulate your motor. XF08 is a tiny bit beefier than XF07, for simulation, just use the XF07 in their library...

Bike is a 2023 Gazelle Grenoble C5 HMB and I need to check that mounting bolts are tight. Question is, how do I get at them? I guess I take off the left-hand crank then undo the screws holding the plastic cover on, but if anybody knows what happens next that would be helpful! And while...

Hello Folks. I have just joined Pedelecs, because it seems like an excellent technical resource/forum for electric bikes. Erm, I suppose that was obvious! Anyway, I have recently bought a Stella Livorno Premium, with a Bosch Active Line Plus motor, a Bosch Purion BU215 Controller; and a...

9yr old Gepida Berig with Yamaha crank motor & re-celled battery shows 29.2V on bike but head control switch on handle bar shows 4 full red lights for 1 second & then reverts to one light only flashing ie no power. Cables look undamaged & connectors are as if new. Any suggestions to rectify...

Hello again, I'm back regarding my Kildemoes egoing citybike 2017 36V. The problem was the assist falls off after approx. 6-8km of fully charged battery. the battery has now been tested and here is the answer to the test. Hello Lars. I have looked through the battery and the cells are ok, and...

Thanks Woosh, good point and thanks for the tip. Actually there wasn't anything about axle diameter in the fitting instructions (it wasn't a Woosh kit). I was actually thinking of a different kit (which was a Woosh one) that I fitted for a friend, where this was not an issue. Woosh's...

Hey there! I have a Motorino CTe (which is sadly discontinued and has no manuals online!) and recently the PAS propulsion has been cutting in and out (on various levels of assist). Throttle propulsion is fine, so it's not the motor. I've watched various YouTube videos on how to clean the sensor...

Yes, read it a couple of times. It's a lot to take in at once, but eventually everything will click into place. Your TSDZ2 motor turns the cranks at a maximum speed of 95 rpm, but it only makes max power up to 71.5 rpm. Don't forget that's with a half-charged battery (36v). If the battery is...

No, on the Ancheer it's a direct connection from controller to motor. I tried a few more things after watching some videos - I have 5v at the Hall Sensor board in the motor and as I rotate the wheel, the voltage on each of the sensors cycles from 0-5v so looks like they are working. I removed...
