A little tip for the grips that I got from GCN is: lift the end of the handlebar (one close to shifters) with a little screwdriver and squirt some water with dish soap. Then try twisting. Repeat underneath if needed. I can't stress enough how well this works, even on the very old bikes I was restoring where grips were truly stuck.

Don’t leave parallel-connected batteries connected permanently. Inevitably you get a weak cell, which causes the strong battery to discharge itself into the weak one. The way to get around this i s to introduce a charge-bus, and discharge bus, and isolate each battery between a pair of diodes, for each one. I use this technique in my yacht, with 8 12-volt, lead-acid, batteries. Don’t forget to use Schottky Diodes, since there’s a potential 1.2 v drop across each diode, under high-current conditions. Cheers, Robin.

I can see a lot of e-bike riders ending up in hospital with power assist bikes when travelling at more than 25 MPH. THEN our lazy legislators WILL ban E-BIKES or KEEP current ridiculous speed limits. Politicians are too lazy to introduce sensible laws for e-bikes. E-bikes need a speed limit of about 40 to 45 MPH so they are able to keep in the flow of normal motorised traffic flow. ESPECIALLY ON HILLS where an e-biker limited power to 15 MPH, is going to be reduced to 5 MPH up hills IS going to be in a POTENTIONALLY DANGEROUS situation given the impatient, inconsiderate average motorist. Motorist are too stupid, too lazy or too fat to use e-bikes for local journeys. Politicians and most car drivers are too stupid to realise that the e-bikes WILL solve traffic congestion AND traffic pollution. THEY HATE CYLISTS ! EVEN THOUGH RIDING A BIKE IS UNCLUTERING THE ROADS AND PARKING SPACES. Imagine our cities where 90% of us are commuting across town by e-bike or e-biking to and from the train station. Trains can be easily adapted as necessary. Pollution levels and the gorgeous whether would return to the levels we all enjoyed during the Coronavirus lock down. Pitifully Obvious - unless you are a dumb politician. E-BIKE REGULATIONS NEED TO BE UPDATED. SCREEM, SHOUT and E-MAILS TO JOURNALIST - POLITICIANS AND MOTORIST. ( ie your mum and dad ) TOXINS from ever increasing motor vehicle use are poisoning us and our children. All of us are wasting thousands hours of valuable time in unproductive traffic congestion. The e-bike - tandem e-bikes - e bike trailers for the kids and shopping is our likely salvation ! E-bikes need regulations if they are to become the most popular form of commuter vehicle. Unfortunately Registration plates insurance and construction regulations for safety, similar to mop-heads will have to be adapted. Hub motors are too unstable at speeds above 30 MPH - Mid drive compulsory - Rim brakes wear out rapidly on faster e-bikes and are therefore dangerous - disc brakes should be compulsory for e-bikes - Compulsory -e-bike battery detachable to prevent theft and for recharging at work or destination with employers require by law to facilitate. Lockable anti-theft tracker system - compulsory. Speed limited by law to 45 MPH but with enough power to maintain that speed up most hills. Motorway lanes adapted and progressively widened to provide 45 MPH e-bike and e-recumbent bikes/trikes lanes where riders are three or four abreast from initially using only the emergency vehicle access lane. Truck lane 55 mph and car lanes 70 MPH. In Life the sensible are handicapped by the imbeciles. The most common accidents on motor bikes occurs when folks pull out in front of an approaching motor bike because the driver didn't see the motor bike which of course is bigger than an e-bike. I would strongly suggest fitting a LED head light which can be set higher in daylight preferably with a yellow cover to help the drivers see you approaching the junction. Bear in mind older drivers have poorer eyesight and much slower reactions. It's not much help being in the right if your dead. At night remove the coloured lens cover and lower the beam. We all need to scream at our idiot leaders in all countries to adjust legislation to make e-bikes more popular. The Laws in the UK are ridiculous. Most reasonably fit riders can easily exceed the 15 MPH limit without power assist but the same rider travelling above 15 MPH on a e-bike fitted with power assist EVEN if the power assist is not being engaged WILL BE BREAKING THE LAW. Failing to registrar the bike as a motor vehicle - no registration plate - no insurance - no motor vehicle lighting regulations - not wearing a full motor bike helmet etc................... Please copy and paste everywhere !

@MrDegsy694 жыл бұрын
Jeff J the centrelock rotor is a shimano patent and requires a splined centrelock compatible hub to reuse it. He had to buy a new rotor as the motor hub utilises the standard 6 bolt rotor fixing method on the hub flange boss. What concerned me most were the tight clearances on the fork and the need for spacing shims to pack it out. Something was not ISO standard here and i suspect it was the suspension fork on the donor bike. It would have been less of problem with a rigid road fork as the fork blades would have been narrower.

I put an early canbus BionX back wheel on a Hasa mountain bike. Motor controller and torque sensing was built into the 250W hub, so as soon as you applied force to the pedals the motor gave the required response. I now have a new Hasa mountain bike with a Tong Sheng DZ2 250W crank motor with controller and torque sensor built in. It took some filing to get the TSDZ2 to fit the Hasa frame, but it's a great bike. You don't get regeneration with a crank motor, but it's more efficient to coast as fast as possible down hills, but I do miss saving my disk pads and charging my battery when braking. Regeneration is also good for very steep descents on tarmac.

I built a class 4 ebike about 8 months ago. That means I have no PAS system. I do 30mph with ease. I can go well over 30 under the right conditions. Keep in mind, just because I can go that fast doesn’t mean I always do. I have and do push the limits of my bike often, that does mean I take mountain gravel roads and trails that dirt bikes are on. I also have had multiple problems come up and had to learn a ton about every component involved. Ive had to find answers to problems even the experts that sell and work on the expensive ebikes don’t know the answer to. I’ve had to learn the hard way, many times those same people have been completely wrong. It seems they always advise the most expensive way to find and fix the problem first, even if they aren’t going to be making any money out of it. At this point the only original parts from when i began this journey are my battery and my motor. I began watching this video to see if there was one component missed, and there is. Not long into the video you see him put the disk break directly onto the motor hub. I did the same as it seems no one has taken into consideration one result of this. When you’re going down a steep hill or slowing down from higher speeds that disk break is going to get hot. Extremely hot. In turn that disk break is going to make your motor hub hot too. And as you work the motor going up it stays hot and back and fourth. This heat, I now believe can travel from that disk break, make the motor hotter than it would be, and follow the power lines, all of them, back to the controller, and even into the throttle. There is a plastic connector for the 5/6 wire connection of the hall connection and such. I’ve melted that twice. I had melted it the first time and had a ebike shop fix it for me. They told me I had been taxing the battery too much going up hill. Unknown to me they replaced it with the same part than wrapped it in a bike inner tube and made it look like it had been heat shrunken. I was pretty mad when it melted again. There’s more to that but I digress. I fixed that by hard wiring that connection and insulating it. No plastic to melt. I rode very hard on some mountain passes yesterday. My throttle went out for the second time, but I wasn’t aware of it until this morning. I took both thumb throttles apart. The wires were broken in the same spot in both. Either the wires are arcing. Or my theory about heat building up through the wires as a result of the disk break getting hot. Or. As a 3rd very real possibility, the parts are just made cheep. I did some research and found that the throttle I payed $37 for 2 times. Is sold on the web for $7. Just sold under a different name. I have what that store called a beefier throttle now, and my bike is running, they gave me this throttle for free. I’m not hopeful it will last and plan to replace it. My plan is to go to a scooter or motorcycle shop and find a heat gasket to put in between the motor and the disk break. No idea if it will help. But I hope so. Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance. 26” 1000w 48a rear hub motor

The disc is a center lock, you would need a Shimano BB tool to remove it (Some use cassette tool instead would have splines on the inside rather than outside) The silver bit that says Shimano on it is essentially a nut holding it on The rivets attach the disc to the holder, Can make it lighter and quieter. Not that there is anything wrong with 6 bolt but tend to find it on slightly older or budget bikes

6:50 - isn't the special washer with the notch supposed to go on the inside (notch facing out) so there wouldn't have been anything rubbing on either side? My kit, albeit a different make, shows them on the inside. You would need an ordinary washer on the outside of the fork dropout of course (under the nut). Good video.

Look, I have the Aston Rider mid-engine and I've been using it quite well. I have changed it from my folding 16 wheel to 26 mtb and now into a 24. My husband changes the kit in a few moments by tightening one screw/nut, everything is connected and the screen has a cell phone charger

Great intro! ..... Q: Just how did you manage to stop the motor? (Do you have to wait until the battery is empty?)

Superb. One thing you are very knowledgeable about amps watts voltage, parallel and series I am a dud in this field. I liked this video Is this the video that is within $180. How much did this whole kit cost? I liked the way you assembled it. Please give me details of this kit how I can order it and the cost? and how long it will take me to get it. You are the man with knowledge. Take care of your phenomena we all need you

Those are raincovers for bicycle seats. They help keeping your butt dry when you had to let your bike stand outside in the rain. They do a good job at keeping birds poo off of your jeans when you where unlucky enough and parked under a tree that would become a favored place to rest for birds on their way to warmer regions. If you didn't recognise it you seem to be lucky enough and only live in sunny areas ;). i envy that

Hi Micah, just came across your site and as I have converted a couple of bikes/trikes I thought I would compare. The kite I bought were both front wheel kits from EBay and I liked the Swytch kit due to its size. The kits I bought
@philneale3235 жыл бұрын
Required a separate battery which I chose 12aH. How much was the Swytch kit. The EBay kit was £120.00 plus £130 for the battery. Look forward to watching your other stuff.

Hey great video. My Swytch kit has finally landed in the UK. Had to pay extra £92 in taxes though, so hopefully should be with me in next few weeks. Patience is a virtue these days..... BTW, sorry to hear about your illness. Could it have been an early variant COVID you contracted? The timing is not too far out.

In the Uk would love one for a ladies road bike. Could you give us a rough idea of price as I’ve never ordered anything unknown before. Thanks
