Yeah I had similar problems with those tyres. Think I went through three inner tubes replacing two tyres. Very stiff and tight, didnt help that the beading didnt seem to want to fit in the valley of the rim at least when the two edges were trying to get in. Cant say Im too impressed with them on...

A couple of years ago I had a Kudos Typhoon 29er that introduced me to ebikes. Unfortunately that bike got stolen but it had done some good by proving my little commute was easier by bike than by car. At this point I decided to buy a Whyte Shorditch a non ebike. Its described as having a fast...

lol, not long nor that steep, but without power the typhoon seemed quite hard to move, big fat tyres and heavy bike I suppose. Seemed to need dropping to one of the very low gears to go up it while my ordinary bike feels like it flies up it in comparison.

Had my Kudos Typhoon taken from my locked shed a couple of months ago and have been using an ordinary hybrid type bike but have started missing the fun. One thing i like about my ordinary bike is its weight feels half that of the typhoon plus easy to pedal (typhoon took effort to get up the...

Got my bike working. Appears to have been the controller (thing in the black box on the frame), opened it up and noticed one of the fets got very hot rapidly even without using the motor. Paul at Kudos supplied me a new one, I fitted it and everything now works so smoothly and responsively I...

Over in Suffolk. Waiting to see if Paul over at Kudoscycles has any idea. The good thing at the moment is that the only time I really like to have the assist is going up the hill home and for that it seems to work.

Must be counting motor pulses as there's no other sensor. Just tried the bike with the battery fully charged and even power level 1 is no longer working properly. Battery now putting out 42v.

No the lcd works. The only thing that appears to happen is that the speed reading drops to zero. Disconnecting the wire that appears to feed that to the control box and thus to the lcd doesn't appear to have any effect.

Once I'm going over around 10 mph it seems ok and I go up the small hill outside my house ok and usually I'm using level 3

battery's one year old. would have been charged every other week given my usage so around 25 times. Seems to last the same as it always has, takes a similar time to charge and a simple voltmeter check shows it putting out around 40v

This weeks instalment... Paul@kudoscycles supplied me with a new sensor (thanks Paul) I've fitted it and...it's still not working. Tried suspending the bike and turning the pedals slowly and the motor kicks in so I now believe the sensor is ok. I've disconnected and reconnected the cables that...

The bike used to work correctly plus it looks to have 12 or more magnets already so not really a solution to the problem I'm having. One of the things I checked was the magnets as I had noticed one had gone rusty but as far as I can tell the rest are ok and the rusty one still seems to be...

Hmm, that would be a bit of a pain to replace if that was the case.Ive only had that error once. I will ask Kudos to see what they say. Using the bike today I've found that the thumb throttle does work in that it gives a boost when pedalling. The thing being that I need to pedal at a reasonable...

Think I disconnected the display at one point but then it wasn't obvious how to turn the bike on as the switch goes to the display. I had wondered about the display but it seems pretty much a tightly sealed unit with no condensation visible. Surprising though this may seem given the weather it's...

ok a bit more experimentation aka poking around. Thumb throttle powers the bike at walking pace if you don't pedal. if you do then it surges cuts out, probably back to walking pace, surges etc. Disconnected brake sensor no change disconnect thumb throttle no change, disconnect what appears to be...

I've tried undoing the box and checking the connections. They all appear to be well fastened together and fine. The fault only tends to show when starting off once going it seems to work. The thumb throttle seems to only give a very weak amount of assist, seems to pulse.

thinking about the speed not showing, that won't be down to the sensor as it shows the speed even when I'm pedalling so does this indicate it's actually the meter, the controller or the hub?

Just went around the block on the bike and the thing I notice is that the meter reads 0mph even when I'm moving, then it starts displaying a speed and the power kicks in. Once I'm moving reasonably quickly it's as if the power stays on as it should up to it's limit. Also when I suspend the bike...

I've put the sensor even closer, no improvement. Tried the thumb throttle more and find that's putting hardly any power out, go on to grass and the bike comes to a stop.
