Should take a 5.5mm barrel pin used on many chargers. https://shop.com/products/8579728998592/dc5521-to-junlei-3015-3-pin-e-bike-charging-adapter

I used to consider groomed gravel as rideable, but this trail had been packed with snow a week prior, so it needed work in places. Rear wheel was skittering on the loose stones. Yikes, we drove thousand of miles and both of us crashed. No more gravel for us,

Yep. I use a torque wrench on the square taper crank bolts. 25-30 ft-lbs is on the lighter side, but it's what I use. If you feel that the square holes are getting loose, you can cut shims from aluminum soda pop or beer cans, and fit then between the axle and cranks,

I don't care for the batteries in the hubmotor for the Switchy with [ntegrated batteries, Screams "look at my ebike!" It might be a negative if the cells go bad too. However, if they use good cells, they could last a long time wth moderate use. The Swytch, on the other hand, can be stealthy...

You have two chargers and they are the same model for the same battery? If one clicks and the other doesn't, when plugged on the same battery, then I would say the clicking unit is at fault, Some chargers do use relays that click when they turn on and off. Google says the STC 8108LD puts out...

It has a display similar to this? Try reseating the connector. Might be loose. Aipas uses the 5 pin connector common to other bike displays, but appears to use their own wiring order. https://device.report/manuals/aipas-ebike-lcd-screen-user-manual-assembly-2021 Check pins 1 and 3 for...

The 80-20% regime will likely maintain your battery capacity for longer than you own the bike. Some batteries do require occasional charging to 100% to ensure the battery stays balanced. Everything the Scott guy told you has merit. Even more important is to never charge a battery when its...

Nice work on analyzing the problem. I don;t own an Engwe, but it appears the failure is common enough that they published a video on torque sensor replacement. And it appears they will send out spares under warranty, Is that how you got your spare? Well, I would get another one while I could...

Pulling a controller out of its case is just a waste of time, Pretty hard to identify what is needed from markings on the circuit board, Have you looked at the Smartmotion website to see if they still sell your controller? If not, then you need to look at the case and see if it carries a...

I just had a new roof installed, and the guy replaced my skylights with new ones that have shutters, powered by a lithium pack with a solar charger. I don't like it, but they're a major brand (Velux). I will ask my insurance agent anyway,

You will have to identify which display and controller is causing all this pain, Some displays have a setting to go back to factory resets. Others do not, but if you have the manual, then you know what the defaults were.

You're saying the S866 plugs in, powers up, and the bike runs? Questions. 1. What runs? Do both throttle and pedal assist work? 2. Does the display display the speed when the bike runs 3, When you change pedal assist levels, do you feel a difference? 4. Are both displays S866 If both displays...

My observation is the the UK is not friendly to ebikes unless they are low power, under 250W, with speed limit restrictions on the throttle if present. Here in the states, it's quite different. You may want to learn the local rules in your area. Here is a UK forum with a discussion spanning...

Good to hear you figured it out and got it running, Yes, you have to get those controllers started.

I probably have done close to 20 conversions. I had not owned a new bike since my 1975 Gitane 12 speed. In 2015, I bought a new GT hybrid, and saw an ebike on display. I bought one later for my wife, and after seeing how it was put together, I converted an old 1990 Trek. I kicked off my...
