    Odometer has stopped working - but speedo still works fine..

    OK, if the data was on the screen, then it must be going to the controller then LCD, or possibly, directly to the LCD. Track the wires from the LCD, usually they go straight to the controller. Next, track the wires from the controller. Should be light ones for brakes, throttle, and LCD going...

    Need some help/advice from experts

    Yes you can get pedal assist and throttle both. Several varieties. Mostly roads, good. Now, how far, how fast, and what's your budget? 20 miles at 20 mph is easy with (or without) minimal pedaling. 40 miles at 40mph is not really do-able in a practical sense. Somewhere in-between will need...

    Best bike lock for a fat tire

    So, you live in New York City, and you want to park, at night, all night, on a regularly scheduled basis, an expensive, recognizable brand-name e-bike, right? Have you considered just handing the nearest crack-head your money, instead? Get the insurance. That bike will attract a pro, who...

    Import hub motor hard failure - self healing???

    Well never mind then, throw it out the window and waste some more money. Next winter, do some research and learn that disconnecting from the controller has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the storage problem, it is the BMS that is INSIDE the battery. Your stupid level is higher than you think it...

    problem with a cyclamatic power plus.

    First, check the motor for any letters, numbers, or actual words. Cyclamatic puts a label on the bike, they do not manufacture a motor. Also, 23.5 is partially depleted for a 24V battery, depending on chemistry, which is information that you failed to supply. Fortunately, I read your other...

    Odometer has stopped working - but speedo still works fine..

    Well, in my professional opinion, ..... It's Broken. As to whether it is a component in the hub motor, that would depend on exactly how the function is implemented on your particular e-bike, for that particular model, I have no clue. You have the bike and the owner's manual, also you could...

    Import hub motor hard failure - self healing???

    Um, well, yeah, ....BUT - the OP gets no error code, and no functionality from the screen UNTIL the battery is removed and replaced. Your symptoms appear to be completely different. If power buttons on screen function at all, then there is power to the system. No functionality means no power...

    Import hub motor hard failure - self healing???

    Balancing does not occur at less than a full charge. The voltage reading tells you NOTHING about the state of balance of the battery as a whole. Most especially if that voltage reading is LESS THAN a fully charged state. The total voltage could be most cells fully charged, or nearly so, and a...

    Hippo eBike Indiegogo Launching!

    Your prices look nice, BUT... Both the range and speed claims are grossly overstated. You appear to have only one bicycle and have photo shopped the same picture to show a different color bicycle. There is no information regarding the impressive gear ratios which would be required to pedal...

    Import hub motor hard failure - self healing???

    Are you familiar with the problem of "unbalanced" cells? I strongly suspect this is your problem. Charging to 90% aggravates this problem. You absolutely MUST do a full charge at least periodically, and especially after shipping and/or a long unattended storage period. There is only one...

    Import hub motor hard failure - self healing???

    OK, of all the things that might be the cause I would put the motor itself dead last. It would be helpful to have some more details about the motor model and specs. Not many geared motors that will haul 300 lbs over 25 mph and up steep hills, as well. At least not without problems. What size...
