Can you solder ? Just I found it easier to buy any old 36v lion charger - I bought a generic Chinese charger that originally came with a alien ocean bike.
Cut the connector off.
Head down to Maplins and buy the right connector for about £1.20 and solder it on
Job done !

hi kristin i need a new controller for my bike aswell,would you be able to tell me where to get one?and exactly which one i would need to get?i was looking at one on ebay it was a universal controller i assume that would do the job?
Can you put the link here ? You need a 36v 250w 15a brushless controller with pas and an independent throttle to be a like for like replacement
you may need to replace the led handlebar switch at the same time
Almost certainly you would need to do some soldering as it's unlikely all the connector would match up
Can't give it away I'm afraid but
I do have a spare 8fun controller - the exact one that came with your kit.
Only minor issue is the connector that goes to the throttle is missing - you need to solder three wires
I can't give it away I'm afraid as it's my only spare ! But can let you have it for the price of BMS battery ku65 which I now use - about 30/35 quid with postage I think - maybe less. Have to check
If your not in a rush then a KU65 works a treat - I'm been using mine for ages - you just need to wait for Chinese post.

i just checked my broken controller here it says on it "rated current 7a maximum current 14a",does that mean that 15a controller wouldnt work for me?also why would i need to replace the led handlebar switch?do you have your controller for sale on ebay?i cant post the link to the controller on ebay as i dont know how to do that but its 36v 250w 10a would it be compatible with my kit do you think?the name of the shop on ebay is pedalease.thanks for your help kirstin.my sister just showed me how to paste a link
SMALL SIZE ELECTRIC BIKE CONTROLLER SENSOR AND SENSORLE...

Hi
Two things with that controller I know for sure are
1) not all the connectors are the same
2) it's only 10a - that's too weak, you'll have far less torque although your battery will last longer
There are dangers that
1) it may not work with the 8fun led handlebar switch as it has a dedicated button between throttle and pas. I've had issues here before
2) there is other stuff those with more knowledge would point out !
My controller is not on eBay as it wasn't for sale. I like to have a spare just in case as I over volt my system (run at 48v not 36)
Quite happy for you to have it but don't want to be left without hence my offer. Until a month ago I had two of them but I gave that one
You could buy a ku65 which comes with a new led handlebar switch included. There are other, fancier one with sine wave etc that you can get - more expensive though
I've no wish to be pushy with a sale ! You've got options - it's more about
1 how much of a rush you are
2 how good you are at soldering
3 wether you want to use the opportunity to upgrade anything
Just pm me if interested
Cheers

i though i needed exact replacements?id love to upgrade if possible.i found a charger on some site its 36v 240w would that do my battery?.and one more thing is the 250w or 240w etc the charging voltage?thanks again kirstin,youve been very helpful
i
hi again kirstin i found a controller on greenbikekit.com it is hall sensored and will work with led meter.i found another controller on the same site that wont work with the led meter but it is sensorless compatible.can you tell me would the hall sensored controller work with our kit?i seem to remember reading the kit we have has no hall sensor,i bought my kit 18 months ago from 8fun so the kits they have on their site now are slightly different.thanks kirstin
Sorry but I just can't be sure if they will work or not having never tried
I have used both the 8fun supplied and a KU65 so I can be sure about those
Is there a reason why you don't want the ku65 in particular ? Or a direct 8 fun replacement ?
Ku65 runs sensor less without issue as that's my setup
