    Another Swytch Gen 3 battery adapter on eBay

    Hi all. Someone is selling a Swytch battery mount converter on eBay. It’s not cheap, but some swytch owners might well prefer the simplicity of fitting it. You just clip it in where the battery pack normally goes, and then add your new battery somewhere else on the bike. I know that some here...

    Just seen this on ebay to replace your Swytch gen 2 set up

    This seems to be a neat bit of kit, that could be a solution for those with gen 2 Swytch setups that need a replacement (or better) battery...

    Celcapz - no spot weld battery kits

    Hi. what’s the expert opinion on these kits for assembling a battery pack with no spot welding required? Certainly not a cheap solution...

    Battery charging puzzle

    Hi. I’ve inherited a 10S 2P battery pack that won’t charge to 42v via its BMS. The charger is giving 42.5v at the charge port of the BMS, and thinks that the battery is fully charged (green light on). The cell pairs measure 3.9, 3.8, 4.1, 4.2, 3.9, 3.9, 4.1, 3.9, 3.6, & 3.8, with a total value...

    Increasing the charge rate.

    Hi. I’ve gained a number of swytch 2A chargers which are of good quality. 2A is great for my 5Ahr swytch packs as I can top them up to full in less than two hours if the weather looks good and I get the urge to go riding. On my 16Ahr Yose pack, I’m now thinking of charging it occasionally using...

    There’s merit in having small batteries. Don’t necessarily go large…

    Having spent a few months using relatively small Swytch battery packs, I bought a rather large 15Ah Yose battery pack. I can now see merit in having smaller packs available, as firstly they charge a lot quicker - I’m conscious that it’s best-practice not to keep partially charging as the BMS...

    Max speed setting on KT controller/LCD5 display setup

    Hi. This has me puzzled. I’ve got a KT 17A controller, LCD5 display, 8 magnet PAS, Swytch 250w hub. If I set max speed to 25 kph (legal limit) I get assistance up to 7(ish) mph. To get it to assist up to 15 mph I have to set max speed to 50kph. So something seems to be halving my max speed...

    Inter-bike charging

    My wife has piddly Swytch battery packs whilst I have plenty of capacity in my Yose pack. I’m thinking of making up a jump lead that goes from the power output socket of my battery, and connects to her charge port on the Swytch battery - for when we are out and about. All I need to add is a...

    KT controllers - C1 parameter

    On my KT controller for C1, I get the gist of settings 00, 01, and 02, and for the opposite waveform pulse, 05, 06, and 07. No one ever mentions setting 03 and 04, and yet I find 03 works the best for me. I should just be happy that it works, but I don’t like not understanding why I have a...

    Hub test box - worth doing?

    Hi. Still (slowly) working on getting a swytch wheel to work with this Lishui 17A controller. Still dogged by the error 9. Everything performs ok (brakes, pas, throttle, etc.). The only thing that doesn’t yet work is the speed sensing. Either the controller is faulty or it just doesn’t like a...

    C500 display - Speed Sensor Selection (SPs) setting

    Hi all. I think I’ve figured out all of the settings available in the C500 display - except one. In Advanced settings, what is the setting for that is called Speed Sensor Setting (SPs) in the manual? I’ve got two available possibilities - either 1 or 6. Neither setting seems to have any...

    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 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...

    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...

    No 3D printer…

    Hi. Quite chuffed with the result. I can’t justify a 3d printer so I used silicon mould compound, and resin for the actual item. The each of the four spades are two 4.8 spades back-to-back (to give the thickness). I wanted some of the special plugs that swytch use to connect to their gen 3...

    Makita Power

    Hi. i’ve been mulling over using my Makita batteries to power the bike for a bit of fun, so here’s the result. Four makita 5.0Ahr packs in series/parallel, hopefully giving something near 10Ahr at 36V. It weighs just over 3kg, and cost about £250 all-in - although I already had the batteries. A...

    Alternative to KT for Swytch gen 3 (Air & Max)

    If Swytch gen 3 users want to retain there front handlebar battery holder to leverage their investment in their Swytch battery packs, then unfortunately fitting a KT controller in the handlebar module that the current Lishui controller lives in, would seem difficult/impossible! Attached is a...

    Not strictly related…

    Not exactly bikes, but associated. my wife trails behind when we go riding. It would be nice to be able to say “Everything ok?” or “Nice Autumn colours!”, but she wouldn’t hear me. I saw a couple cycling the other day that seemed to have two-way communication, and were chatting as they cycled...
