You shouldn't use sheet aluminium unless it's very substantial, say at least 3mm thick otherwise it'll fail due to metal fatigue. Steel would be many times better, and you could go much thinner.

He knows.

Death would be imminent.

Are you talking about the number of pins on the main harness at the controller end or on the display. I've never seen 6 pins on a C500. If it does have 6 pins, the 6th would be for the lights.

When you run with two motors, the torque from the back one lifts the weight off the front one, so when you put power on the front one it loses traction and spins, so you shouldn't go too high on the power of the front one.. If you want to run with two motors, you only need one throttle and one...

The springs were probably the wrong way round. The thin end should be against the axle facing inwards.

Watch this channel if you want to know what's going on in the Russia-Ukraine war:

Probably, it depends which one you got. £70 is OK for one with disc brakes and a 1 1/8 steerer.

15,000 wh 48v battery for £2,000. That would give a range of about 1,000 miles. Seriously though, one of these would be really useful as a standby power supply in case of power cuts. It can be charged from a generator, a large solar panel array or from the mains when you have power. If you have...

You're completely deluded from watching too much MSM. The Russians have been winning that war since the day it started. TASS reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 906,500 servicemen—killed and wounded—since the beginning of the special military operation. The number of military personnel...

Or go down to the tip. There are always loads down there. One time when I wanted a cheap bike as a donor for conversion, I asked the scrap men to look out for one. A couple of days later, there was a knock at the door and the scrap man was standing there with a new looking catalogue bike for £10.

You can buy a whole bike on Facebook for that much.

Sinewave controllers make the motor run smoother and quieter than with squarewave ones. Remember, there's input power from the battery and output power from the motor. The difference accelerates upwards as the speed goes down. The difference becomes heat in the motor. More heat is also made in...

What do you mean by partial failure? KT 15A controller is smaller than yours. They do 17A, 20A and 22A ones that are around the size of yours, though you have to hunt them out on Aliexpress and the Chinese resellers. My 22A one is quite small, but that means it can't lose heat so easily and I...

The display works independently from the controller. All it needs is power, which it gets direct from the battery. Its power wires take a branch off the main battery wires inside the controller. It communicates with the controller regarding speed, power level and some other things.

Yes, any one should be OK. There are two types of axles - bolted on ones and quick release. They're interchangeable, but you need the Q/R skewer to clamp the Q/R wheel. The Q/R axle is 9mm dia with a hole through the centre for the skewer. The bolt on type is 10mm and solid. If your bike has...

Most LED and LCDs have nothing to do with the throttle, so if the throttle isn't working, you need to look elsewhere for the cause, though it could be that there's a common cause for both issues.

The problem is that small controllers are not very good at dealing with heat, and the higher the current, the nore heat you get. It might be better to go up to 48v, which allows you to get higher torque at a lower current. 15A at 48v gives about the same torque as 20A at 36v. The heat generated...

"The product presents a risk of fire as it has been identified that when the electric bike is being charged, it is possible for the lithium-ion batteries to go into failure mode, potentially leading to a thermal runaway and fire." That doesn't sound like whoever wrote that recall notice had a...

Isn't that the wrong time period? The vaccine didn't really take off until 2021. When in 2021 does your data finish? I think you'll see a different story in 2022.
