hi all i am new to electric bikes and pedelecs forum , i bought a folding eco stepper for my wife and was so impressed i bought one for myself off e bay back in may . i have used this for work [14 miles round trip ] and have enjoyed every minute , so much so i am considering either converting my mountain bike or buying a bigger bike for the commute [ the 20inch wheels and gearing on the stepper has its limitations] . i was wondering if anyone out there would know where i could order a new led power controller , as the one on my bike has broken , i have found similar ones on the internet but not the exact one . mine has the no 980 written on it , just wondered if their was a supplier in the uk . thanks baz

Looking online I can't see a reason why a 790 wouldn't work ok. On/off with 3 level assist


I may have a spare one of these knocking about . I'll check when I get home and have a look at the wiring

 

[KirstinS]

Here is the 790 - it's for 36 volt

You may need to solder the wires as you'll be very lucky if the connectors match

Still yours if you want it

 

[KirstinS]

There are two wires going into each connector . I know one is three pin but only two are used

The colours are green and black on female 3 pin

And blue and red on the 2 pin male
