    Ikea Folkvänlig - $1000 ebike

    Hey, that's so cool!! It worked on my Folkvänlig as well! :-) Only difference is that mine only shows the 6f message... never 6c. But it doesn't matter... after changing the wheel diameter and turn off, turning it on again by pressing [power]+[plus button] seems to save the new settings :D...

    Ikea Folkvänlig - $1000 ebike

    Suppose the only thing that can be adjusted is the wheel size then (but I've never heard of 36" wheels though)? The 27-29 or 36 adjusatment does nothing to the actual speed or the speed displayed. Could it affect the odometer maybe? I've tried all the other combinations mentioned in earlier...

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    Thanks a lot for the support guys!! Internet at its best!! :D I reconnected the speed sensor because for some reason max speed was still only 25 km/h when testing the bike on the road with the throttle... might just as well reconnect the odometer. Would all my components work with a...

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    Guess what... it DID remove the speed limit!! Of course the odometer on the display doesn't work with the speed sensor unplugged. Wonder if there are other ways to disable the speed limit? Anyways... now I really need a throttle because I'll never be able to pedal at this higher speed...

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    The red black white goes to the motor together with the three power cables through this connector on the front wheel fork. This is the only text on the motor. The motor enclosure looks like this. And finally my only mod so far... I've added a front basket! :wink: Brgds... /BlueSwede

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    I have no idea what that means? I've read about pedelecs that have twist or thumb throttles that work up till 6km/h and that it's usually a matter of adding or removing a jumper to disable the 6km/h limit (if I press and hold the minus button on my Ikea-bike the wheel starts to turn slowly...

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    No, throttle isn't mentioned anywhere. Here are closeup pictures of the front and back side of the connector area on the pcb. Imagine having a drawing that explained what all the pins mean :roll: Brgds... /BlueSwede

    How do you convert a pedal assist ebike to throttle ?

    How did it go? Did you manage to put a throttle on a Pedal Assist Mode bike? I'm facing the same problem with my new e-bike. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=63242 Brgds... /BlueSwede

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    Hmm... OK. You asked me to open the controller and have a look. Any clues after looking at these pictures? Warning... the images are quite large (5 Mb each) as I didn't want to reduce them in size and lose detail. http://oi60.tinypic.com/nffsjq.jpg http://oi62.tinypic.com/14w6hvl.jpg So my...

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    I lifted up the bike a little so that I could have a look at the "pedelec" cable. Seems to me like there are pulses instead of a voltage that controls the speed. Have a look: i9py1075O7E Brgds... /BlueSwede

    Ikea Folkvänlig - $1000 ebike

    If I press and hold the "M" button the display will show either 27 or 36... what's that about? I didn't notice any performance difference. Brgds... /BlueSwede

    Ikea Folkvänlig - $1000 ebike

    I found a small undocumented feature (not mentioned in the instructions manual). Press and hold the minus button on the display and the motor will move the bike at slow speed (maybe 6 km/h) even if you're not pedaling. The display will show a message "PU" whatever that means. I suppose it's an...

    Can a throttle be hooked up to this IKEA e-bike?

    Ok, so that unidentified connector is not a throttle connector then? Is it then possible to disconnect the pedelec connector and connect it to some kind of throttle instead? Even if it's not an adjustable throttle but merely an on/off switch for the motor it would still be better than nothing...

    Ikea Folkvänlig - $1000 ebike

    I purchased a Folkvänlig e-bike yesterday at IKEA in Malmö Sweden for 5995 SEK (that's about 650 EUR or 840 USD). That's a fantastic price if you ask me... the salesperson said that they sell our very quickly in the four different IKEA stores that sell them in Sweden (Malmö, Uppsala, Jönköping &...
