Don't know if you are still looking at this but, coupla things. The letter you got from the police saying it is not stolen. Good, but NOT what the law specifies, "have no interest". That is a very different thing, and specific wording is important. Just off the top of my head, "interest" would inclu...

Almost every US jurisdiction has a similar 90-day, abandoned property law. Go to your local Courthouse, Clerk of Courts office, BE NICE, BE FRIENDLY, BE POLITE, and they will direct you to a terminal where you can read and print out, for a moderate printing fee, usually $1 per page, the entire law. ...

So, you are currently in possession of a car valued at $6,000, you are aware of and have spoken to the registered owner, and intent to part it out? That is grand theft auto, hope you get a good cellmate. You do not ask them for help, you offer to help them. "You have a car under your ownership, for ...

As above, the sensor must be Extremely Close to function.

Good you found the test, now you know. There is a way to reduce the combinations you need to try, this you should locate for future reference.

Describe the events surrounding blowing the controller originally. It failed IMMEDIATELY after replacing the controller? Ran for, .....what? Seconds, minutes? Is each run time roughly similar, or very closely the same? Have you tested several hours after failure, 1 day, 1.5 days, 2, etc? Are you tes...

If you wanted the chainguard, you bought the wrong motor. Hopefully the battery including the mounting bracket, which attaches to the water bottle mounts. If your bike does not have water bottle mounts, then looks like you are 2 for 2. You can have the mounts installed, if you are willing to drill h...

Link does not show a kit, DESCRIBE the frocking thing. Should be 3 thick wires and 5 thin ones, if different, DESCRIBE the frocking thing. Did you follow the instruction to find the correct order for yourself, or maybe search for it here as it has been typed out in great detail many dozens of times ...

That is now two new posts in a row that have been deleted. Interesting. Posted by others, there for at least a few hours, nothing controversial, gone now. The last referred to a new construction method for the gears, it is important to note here that the gears themselves or the grease does not reall...

The problem is almost certainly the new connector you installed.

When you say you changed the "Battery Attachment", are you referring to the electrical connector as opposed to the attachment to the bike frame? And, IMMEDIATELY after changing this attachment, it stopped working, and BEFORE changing this attachment, it DID work, and NEVER worked after changing this...

Cells are fundamentally damaged by time spent at full charge. Shortens their overall lifetime.

Just want to make sure I got this right. So, you ran the wires, for the lights, thru the frame, and, um, you THINK you MAY have shorted these wires, when running them. Lights meant to run at full pack voltage, by any chance? Then, after connecting everything, and KNOWING, that you may have shorted t...

Number 1 thing to check, ALWAYS, for nearly any problem, is loose connections, check individual pins, everything, more than once. Connectors are not solid, pins can get loose, wires cut or frayed, Chinese quality control is minimal to non-existant. Not familiar with that controller or display, but d...

There are specific models of Alfine and Nuvinci hubs that are recommended, and apparently most Rohloff hubs, these are well out of my price range. Some newer models are actually warranted for electric drives. For the vast majority, the warranty is void if used with a motor. Chris, which model of Stu...

The magnets are not in the wheel, they are in the motor, and since you have given no information whatsoever of the motor, type, or brand, my guess is .....42 !

You have the gear cluster on the rear wheel or you can use a good quality IGH, are you looking for something other than what normally mounts on a bicycle? If so, then not too many at all as the existing options seem to work for most.

You do not describe the connectors for the motor but most likely cause is wrong order of phase and/or hall wires, if you just matched the colors that usually does not work. Go to the Grin website or search here for correct procedure for finding the right connection order, pay special attention to th...

Health and Fitness, I want you to read this AGAIN: As for the rolling backwards issue, occasionally when I rolled it backwards it wouldn't turn. A little rollforward then back and it would usually go. When I was building the wheel in the stand it would never roll backwards. Now after 720km it rolls ...

Canbus is just communication, if it works with the replacement battery, that indicates you should be fine.

Possible some of the BMS protection features depend on it, not likely, but possible. Germans.

Run it till it drops.

Want to Build, I will invite you to do some research. Read this entire thread. Search for and read every mention of this kit on this site. Count the number of shattered gears, and come back and report it. You should also do the same breakage analysis for a couple other small geared hubs in order to ...

Knutsy, you are in fact a vendor for this product and have not publicly identified yourself as such. You have a profit motive for your statements and this should be known to all who read them. I doubt there is another motor responsible for the number of failures in a fairly short period of time rela...

It sounds very much like what would happen with a controller which could operate on EITHER 36V, or 48V, with a corresponding low voltage cutoff. If the voltage is not selectable, you have verified battery voltage readings and their is no problem with your meter, then either the controller, or the di...

I am really having a hard time understanding how anyone could possibly have read most of this thread and still think purchasing one of these is a sound decision. Perhaps you do not know that the two primary cheerleaders, early on, for this product received hundreds of dollars worth of "free" merchan...

!. Did you just obtain this bike recently? 2. Has it always done this? 3. Has the battery or controller been replaced recently? 4. Can you set the voltage of the battery on the display? *** 5. Stating the brand name of the bike might be useful. 6. If and when you find a solution, report back here an...

Interesting. NOT being "Canbus enabled" is a good thing. Charging thru the discharge ports usually does not involve any overcharge protection from the BMS, and SFAIK balancing functions also not active, though not sure on that. How many pins on the battery, the bike cradle, and the charging cradle, ...
