Cutoffs for motor safety in case of unintended acceleration,. A good ebike tech can add a brake switch to a hydraulic lever, Bikes with throttles will go full throttle if the ground line in the throttle were to break, Seen it happen on my bikes twice. Perhaps less likely with newer bikes that...

Shore lunch! Nothing like fresh caught fish fried up in a (heavy) cast iron pan. Just make sure the table don't tip. Same for the bike.

Bought my wife a $29 pinkish knit helmet cover off Etsy. It works to keep the sun out of eyes. The other one is pretty expensive from bikepretty as it's sold with a $120 helmet, Ladies love their fashion.

Check the walk mode on the display and see if the motor power is continuous. I believe current UK ebikes don't have throttles? That would be another way to see. I think you're on the right course to look at the PAS sensor. I did have one ebike with same problem, On again, off again pedal...

I agree. It's a typical downtube battery. If you had provided a detail picture of the cradle, a match could be found. If the cradle doesn't contain the controller, and you no longer need to use the original battery, then gromike's suggestion of replacing both is the easy solution.

Continuity between the three phase wire and the motor housing? Sounds like a short circuit.

You're planning to ride 80 miles a year on pavement. Can we trust a $600 ebike to power up 8 times and go 10 miles? Sure hope so, but you probably have to ride it about six times to be sure. There's always something like a loose connection or missing screw that pops up in the first few rides...

I did bot hear other other than motor whine in your video. It seems to me that clicks come from a loose spoke, When I hear them, I run a spoke wrench around the spokes. I've built a few wheels so I have a feel for the tension,

They run too hot w/o fans. I bought a pair of these last year 48V and 52V, https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804574524859.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.2ec81802A5Z8ME&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa My rule on charging is to never charge when we're asleep. I always unplug them at midnight...

Are those chargers? As long as they have fans.

Beater ebikes for me. Easy enough to upgrade the brakes, shifters and derailleurs. Motorcycles are a different game. Can't have them coming apart at speed. so D.O.T. regulations if DOT survives DOGE, will apply,

Let's get back to mobility, Leaf blowers (battery powered) on roller skates. Saw two kids trying to get moving last summer. Works if you're small.

The weak link is the ability of the charger jack in the battery to handle heat. With ebay packs, you never know. I'd stick with a 2A charger with them.,

Something intended to go 30+ mph and compete with automobiles should be registered as moped/motorcycle. Now it's a motor vehicle and those "no motors" signs on recreational paths apply, That should cover the evolution of two wheeled EV;s,

The Juiced chart seems reasonable.

36V is 10 cells in series. 48V is 13 cells in series 52V is 14 cells in series. Series is the S number, The AH capacity is determined by how many cells in parallel (the P number). They multiply P by the cell AH to get the total AH for the battery, Nominal voltage times AH gives you...

The number of cells in parallel won;t matter. The charge percentage vs voltage is the same. A 52V20AH and 52V5AH will both be 100% at 58.6V and near 50% at 52V. Yes, if the cells are not the same type, there are some small changes, but not important here. In your case, Juiced is using 3.2Ah...

I might move the tail light under the seat. Shorten the wiring.

If it's a digital readout that reads from 0-60V, does it matter that the 0-40 never shows?

With a programming cable and your PC connected to a website (no need to install software). you can enable throttle in PAS0. My BBS02B came this way originally from Luna, and I used to ride it in PAS0 and feather in throttle on hills, It was very easy on battery, if I maintained discipline...
