Much less often of late thankfully, diplomacy in the face of possible dispute is appearing more often. :)

Allright everyone :)


I am quite keen to do some mods to add torque and have a few guys in work who are quite happy to do so.

I am not worried about noise or battery life, since I will only be using it for a max of 3 miles a day, so, which is the best mod to do for the most uphill torque gain?

I note the two links above but have seen loads of other mods (probably the same I guess) so was just wondering for a definitive one to go for.

As said, not worried about noise or battery life, as long as it will get me three miles between charges, the only thing that does concern me is any damage to the motor or battery.

Happy to get a new fuse and get the guys in work to do the job for me, not keen on a new 36v battery so keen on keeping the one I have (for now at least), given the cost of the battery.

And once again, thanks for the excellent responses, extremely helpful and nice to come somewhere so friendly :)
For more torque, you need more amps. That means a new controller that won't fit in the compartment, or solder the shunt in the one you have. Therefore soldering the shunt is the only logical solution. Use the above-mentioned guides and solder about 1/3 of the shunt first, and if that's not enough, solder half of it. Taking extra power from the battery may shorten it's life a bit, but when it eventually expires, you'll probably want to upgrade to 36v anyway. It seems a complete new wheel and motor is only £60, so not too bad if yours gets damaged, although I'd be very surprised if it did - especially at 24v. Let us know how you get on.
