Hiya again, I have just taken the controller out of its casing to see if Gardener can confirm it is the same as his, can you get back me please Paul. If it is the same, and the kit can take 36v NiMh with my 250 watt hub motor - then here is what I propose to do. 1) Buy 36V NiMh and charger 2)...

Hi again, As a result of the probable faulty cell as explained by Xyster and Gardener, I emailed the supplier about the issues raised. I also cut and pasted Xysters and Gardeners comments (without names or where info came from). Below is what I sent them: + First reply to my query (Me)...

Hi again, I posted the "Can you help a clueless newbie please" a few days back and although I think my problem has been resolved (thanks to you), faulty battery, I still have some deep fears. Before I ordered the kit I emailed the company some questions. I have pastd the relevant ones below...

Okay Paul, I'll have another go tomorow and let you know how I got on. Thanks again, (I will be contacting EBS tomorrow also about the possible/probable fault with their 24v battery). Richard

Paul, I did try to open the casing on the controller but it was so difficult that I had to give up as I was worried about damaging the wires and circuitry inside. Only the end opposite wired end came off. The whole of the other end is fixed in with so much silicone I wasnt able to move it. The...

Oi you lot ! Dont you think I feel bad enough already!!! Anyway - how many of you can say that you have a battery with its own chinese take-away menu printed on it. (Actually, theres a thought..... I could pop it ino the local take-away and ask them what the spec is....

Hi again, I must make this quick as the washing up is still on the side and my wifes due home from work in 15 mins...... much more scary that an electric bike problem ! Okay - thanks to you all. It seems the underlying problem may have been that the battery was knackered from the start. The...

Hi again, Thanks for your prompt replies. I dont know whether to laugh or cry. I will answereach reply separately. Cheers Ypedal, the sound of a "Yin Yan" controller really inspires confidence. Fechter, if you're right about the motor being 200 watt, does this mean I cannot upgrade the...

Hi Paul (and all you other helpful members) I first looked at the Curry Electrodrive (after seeing my first knoxie video). I had to rule it out for 3 reasons. 1) My bike is only 18" frame and trinagular frame is probably too small. 2) It looked too much like an add on for my liking (no...

Hiya all, Thanks for your replies and advice. It had not even occurred to me to use the caravans inverter to charge the battery.I will just have to wait till the wife drops off to sleep to unplug it from her TV!. Seriously though, I dont think I explained my problem clearly. While I am away...

Hi, Sorry to bother you (I feel like a first day schoolboy walking into a sixth form classroom). I recently bought (dont laugh please) a 250 watt hub conversion kit with a 24volt 6.8Ahr Li-ion battery pack for my Mountain-bike, more like a gentle incline-bike really ! Performance is sad...
