Carrera Crosscity 790 LED Display Problem.

[Tortus]

Took it out today after setting up max speed to 72kmph, wheel size to 20 inches, and changed from kmph to mph.
It went great, better than a stock one I imagine. speed was nearly 20mph with throttle only and power assist worked great.
Did about 5 miles on the flat and up some hills with power assist 5, well impressed!
I have a small bag to put the controller in just behind the seat tube and rack, fits perfect.
Still need to find some female to female 3 pin brake cables as the 5 to 1 cable came with male connectors don't know why as the brake levers also have male connectors?
It must be a decent motor, I'm 15 stone and a bit and it pulls me along no problem.
So its just a tidy up and up for sale.
Cheers.

You only need one brake switch. Cut off the connectors and solder the wires, which will be cheaper, quicker, simpler and more reliable than buying and fitting connectors.

The best thing about KT controllers is their current control, which only works with the pedal sensor. Did you set the power mode to current control (torque simulation)?

No I don't think so, what does that mean and where will I find it?

Just had a second look at the brake connectors, the ones on the bike are red 2 pin and the ones on the controller are yellow 3 pin. Looks like I need some new levers.

I told you, you only need one switch and you can join the wires. You don't need connectors. Three wire ones have 5v, ground and signal, Two wires are ground and signal. You join ground to ground and signal to signal. No need for 5v with two wire ones.

Okay cheers, will try tomorrow. Thanks.

Sold the bike and buyer happy even with no brakes electrically connected.
Looking for my next project! fancy a Mate X. Moose have a shop on eBay that sell the Mate X that have various parts missing.
They look like they need at least a display and a speed controller, probably more.
Thanks for you help with the Carrera everyone.

Quality of the two bikes is very different.
