    Replace 36 v battery by a 48v

    So I got the bike back. It's faster than I remember, so the combination of the 48V battery and new controller seem to be working. There are a couple of problems left. First, although the throttle works great, the pedal assist turns on and off repeatedly, usually for a couple of seconds. They...

    Replace 36 v battery by a 48v

    I just heard from the bike store. They got the motor working! Now they are checking all of the other connections. I may get the bike back tomorrow! Thanks for all your help!

    Replace 36 v battery by a 48v

    My contact at the bike store says there is no self learning wire. Is there a way for them to manually change the wheel direction? They aren't being very cooperative, but they are the only game in this part of Mexico. It looks like I am going to have to buy a new motor after spending over $400...

    Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge. I translated your last message to Spanish and will do the same with this one. Hopefully Rogelio appreciates what he will have learned from you!

    Replace 36 v battery by a 48v

    I understand and am not holding you accountable for the advice you gave someone else. It just seemed to be very similar to my problem and made sense to me. So no worries. The bike is still at the shop. They haven't fully wired in the new controller, just the throttle. When they engage the...

    Replace 36 v battery by a 48v

    I followed your advice and purchased a 48V controller/display combo. Now bike shop says 36V 250W motor is not responding. Should I buy a new motor? If so, what do you recommend? And with 4" tires, do I need a "fat" motor?

    Replace 36 v battery by a 48v

    I have a similar request. Mine is an older fat e-bike with 36V batt, controller and motor. I bought new battery and they shipped a 48V. Then bike shop said I needed a new controller/display kit which I purchased for about $40. Now the shop says the motor is not responding. They are trying a...
