Trying a different controller was sensible, but like neptronix suggested, now you need to check the hall and phase wiring.

Even better, 100mm without shims. Go it if you can get it, you could spend many hours hunting for a better motor and come up empty handed. I’m frugal and use what falls into my lap, so haven’t bought Aikemas, but have one that’s been in on and off use that would be pushing 15 y.o. on stock...

Perhaps consider a friction drive, assuming you’re using slick tires.

It’ll be 5v, GND, three hall wires, and a speed sensor. If not speed, then temperature.

Pretty sure there’s an Aikema model to suit, one of the AKM-85 variants. Should be enough axle length fit in 100mm fork. Worth a look anyway.

“Right” except for having to manipulate LVC and shunt resistance. Fair enough though, I’d probably have done the same. Hope it works out for you.

I recall you using Votol controllers. Why not cough up fifty bucks for an EM-25?

Inanek, your method is unnecessarily risky. If you pull the brake lever firmly instead of feathering it, you won’t launch into traffic if the brake switch system fails in any way.

It wasn’t necessarily poor junction between cable and terminal. There’s little by way of spring retention with bullet connectors, they’re essentially just friction fit, so loosen every time they’re reconnected, and suffer from wiggling or strain. They require strain relief at either side of...

No worries, good luck with it.

Yes, E-HP explains things better. You can quickly narrow the considered set by eliminating the motor wires, earth wires, and high voltage wires. There’s only one wire specific to the throttle. The other two required for its operation, ground and 5V, for convenience will typically be bundled...

You’re looking for 5v, earth, and one other. Neutral is rarely anything other than black, and easy to find - put your meter’s negative on it and probe for pack voltage on red/orange wires. If you find pack voltage, you have your earth. Leave your meter on this earth, and probe for a 5V wire...

Fair enough. I couldn’t envisage it, so did an image search. Looks suitable with a kid. 2x adults seems obviously throttle only. Most of the configurations in the photos are with regular telescoping post, so that the parent gets proper leg extension. My requirements are a little different …...

I like the mermaid diagram. Looks like useful software, worth checking out. It’s a short wheelbase step thru frame. Are you sure you want a rear passenger? The only configuration I can see working is rear facing, with you riding standing, and then without a passenger you having to sit on top of...

I use AirTags. They’re great little gadgets. It’s just a pity that so many people are paranoid and disable the Find My feature.
