Ah ha! Okay, thats good news. Thanks for your help! :)

I just went to buy one of these: http://www.ebikes.ca/andersontap.html and then I noticed it has a 2.5a polyfuse. Does this mean I wouldn't be able to power lights which use more than 2.5a? If so that seems a bit low doesn't it? The light I was hoping to power uses 12v at 3.6a on maximum power...

I only removed a couple of the sprags, and have now put them all back in place, which was pretty fiddly, but its now missing the plastic retainer in places. The motor seems to work, at least for the time being, hooray! :D The grinding noise I described in the first post was just one of the...

As it had shattered I decided it definitely had to be removed before any more broke off and got caught in the gears. But it turns out its not actually a magnet. I dont really know what it is but it looks important. Does anyone know what it is and if I can get a new one? I've contacted BMC who...

Hi guys. I've just taken my motor apart to tap some new threads for the cover plate as all the old ones had been stripped. When I went to put it back together, there was a grinding sound in one direction so I took the motor out of the casing and found this: The magnetic ring has broken. :(...

Hello again everyone. I've received my new BMC controller, but there seems to be something wrong. Its identical to my previous one- 38-60VDC, 50A, but for some reason my bike wont go any faster than about 17mph, and there's a delay in acceleration when I increase throttle. It used to do about...

Cheers Teklektik! Yeah think I'll just buy a new BMC controller. I'll try and fix my old one and I'm bound to frock it up, so better just to buy a new one now. It will be good practice and if I can make it work again I'll give it to my mate because he's going to buy one soon. Thanks for your...

It looks awesome though. All the features I wish the CA had. Really wish someone would make a new and improved CA with a nice colour screen... hint hint...

Has anyone had any experience with these? zOmok6tVQRg Looks pretty good! P7zCQEZmE8I Does anyone know if these can work with non-bosch parts? Would I be able to connect this to my battery and BMC V4? Would this replace the CA AND controller?? Imagine if someone could write some customised...

Yeah, I'm thinking thats what I'm going to have to do. I really can't be without my bike for much longer...

I guess its worth a try. Soldering really isnt my strong point though but i know someone who's pretty good at this kind of thing. Does anyone know what rating mosfets I need to buy to replace them? I've just been checking to see if anything good has come out since I bought my kit 18 months ago...

Yeah it was limited but I cant remember what to and I cant check at the moment because its all in bits. I'll probably just stick with exactly what I had before because the controller was mounted on top of my battery and I don't want to have to tap in some more holes if the mounting points are...

Cheers for your help guys. I've tested the controller with a multimeter and yeah, it looks like the mosfets have blown. I guess I'm going to have to get a new one. It's a BMC 50a controller. Does anyone here sell them in the UK?

Hi guys. Storm Frank was too much for my bike and it died in the middle of a torrential storm. I've taken the cover plate off my hub motor and left it in a warm dry place to dry out for a few days but its still not working. The CA looks like its working fine, so I guess the battery must be fine...

Thats a pretty good idea! I didn't think if that. I'll do that, nice one! :)
