    CONTROLLER

    Thanks for the advice. But it's a bit much to digest, and sounds complicated. I am about to build a duplicate bike for my wife. You see she is 82, I'm 87. If the battery isn't the problem I'll have the battery for her bike. SO with the new controller I just put on a new battery should let me...

    CONTROLLER

    OK, here we go again. And by the way, thanks to all who comment in the past. Under parts and accessories. I received the very same controller fromVOILAMART, in China. It is a duplicate to the one I was using. I installed it, no problem. Soldered all the wires, no loss there. I took it out...

    VOILAMART CONTROLLER

    Thanks for the advice. But let me mention, and I think I'm correct, my charger shuts off when the battery is full or appears to be full. AAll the lights go off. I left it on all last night. This morning I hooked up the battery and once again it lit up the two bottom led lights. VOILAMART said...

    VOILAMART CONTROLLER

    Thanks again. When I put the battery on the charger the two lights come on. The power light and the charge light. When it's done they cut off. When it's charged the charge time is short. I don't know how to keep it on charge for a long time. The battery is a little over two years old. Last...

    VOILAMART CONTROLLER

    Harry, Thanks so much for the reply. I don't use peddle assist. Yes, the old controller would get hot so I made slits in the bag then by the time I mounted it to the bike to make a heat sink the damage was gone. It also won't light the first, the top led of the battery indicator. Then when it...

    VOILAMART CONTROLLER

    I have a two-year-old VOILAMART front wheel kit on a three-wheel bike because I am disabled, I'm also 87 years old. I need to replace the controller. The company doesn't. sell the parts separately. There are a lot of controllers on the market but I need to replace it with the right one. It is...

    Do I really need motor cut brake levers?

    Can the break plugs on the controller be shorted out ? That could be my problem. I'm all hooked up correctly and get nothing when I twist the throttle. Charlie WA4TWA

    PLEASE HELP WITH A NEW CONVERSION

    I just finished installing a front wheel motor and connecting the controller. I won't be using PAS, just the throttle. After connecting the lithium battery, pushing the red button on the throttle, nothing happens when I twist the throttle. The battery is fully charged. ALL wires are connected to...

    I'M OLD BUT NOT THAT OLD

    Thanks to every one for the advice and encouragement. I don't have a balance problem, and I ride my new Schwinn (ladies bike) pretty good. Someone asked about budget. Yes, that is a concern since I can't afford a new e-bike. I'd like to buy a front wheel kit as I have the tools and have the...

    I'm 84, I need to buy an electric bike.

    This is my first post. My doctor said go ride a bike. For my leg muscles. I'm sure an electric bike would help all around but they all look good on line and I'm sure some are junk. But, how do you tell. Perhaps some one here has already had great success buying a low end bike, and some have...
