Aside from the question in the title, if you just want to hear me vent then then continue reading: I found the actual motor online from the company (AKM) and looked at their spec sheet and they just don't list poles or magnets or gear reduction ratio. I have:Searched extensively onlineSent...

Thanks, what I'm wanting to do though is try to find a motor that will fit without having to lace it up.

Hi all. I have a Cafe Cruiser by ride1up. After a ton of research, it seems like there is some QC issues with some of their motors and recently in the fb groups, and some forums, there are people like myself disappointed in it's power. I'm aware motors will put out whatever you feed it, but the...

I have still been troubleshooting this with Ride1up. Others in the FB group/other forums say they easily get 28mph on theirs on flat but I have to pedal hard to see 24-26mph on flat. I'm only 155lbs, bodybuilding/martial arts for a decade and so I'm not out of shape. I hooked up the cruiser to...

I will just cut the 14 awg wires short and solder the 10 awg wires to the shortened 14 awg wires then. Will go to an electrician and have them completely replace the wires on the other spare plug I have. From what I read, 14 awg can supply 30A over a short distance and most controllers have 14...

Something else I noticed that is different than my other bike is that when I press the throttle from start, the display takes about two sec to read my speed/wattage. Whereas it's basically instant on my other bike. I didn't actually know that the KT display has a "loading" sign for readings...

I only really see 1100w when pulling out of my driveway and it's only for a second. After that it's 900-1000W. I did a test that I don't want to do a lot, but I put my feet on the floor for resistance and pulled the throttle for just a sec and it only went to 1100w I ordered some Xt90 cables...

From a dead stop it peaks at 1100w and then goes down as I get up in speed. When I go uphill it hangs around 900w even though I'm going slow. C5 is set to 10 which is the highest. Xt60h cables. They're the same size as the controller's cables. Voltage sag is only .2v. Full charge

I seem to have ran into another issue. After installing the 25A KT controller and testing it out, I am peaking at 1100W. The specs for the battery say 30A continuous and 45A peak. Using throttle uphill I'm getting 15mph while sitting at around 900W instead of the controller ramping up. Downhill...

Managed to fix it. Turns out, either the green or yellow wire was bad. I resoldered both.

Alright, I've been working on this for several days now and literally just finished it a few moments ago: Can finally clean this up and go for a ride I hid all of the wires behind the chainring. Tried to make the small bag look as natural as possible. Took multiple extension cables for every...

I have a Ride1up Cafe Cruiser. I swapped the controller to a 25A KT and took the LCD3 display from one of my other bikes and hooked it up. Throttle works but: - Speed reads as 0mph. - Watt output reads as 0. - Battery sign in top left corner is blank but the battery voltage reads as normal...

After several days of effort, I have decided that I will mount the new controller externally. I cannot seem to find a 22A or 25A KT controller that is below 12cm. I spent 5hrs a day for two days trying to fit a 12.6cm KT controller in. No dice. I had ordered a brainpower controller but they...

I contacted JN, here's the response I got I have no idea what they mean by "it can adapt to a higher powered motor". If it's limited in the display, then it's limited. Afaik.
