    Start button must be held down or power goes out.

    The start button is just a couple of momentary contact switches. The display is supposed to keep the controller powered on after your initial press, so that's what the spare switch has the same problem. Order a new display, yikes, $150 CDN. Looks like an 69 dollar bafang 860C display, but they...

    Splice motor cable to controller.

    I figured he was just checking to see that each pin on the cable had a connection `to somewhere on the controller. Come to think of it, I don't think the controller can tell when a sensor wire is misplaced. It can only tell when a sensor wire doesn't change voltage,

    Reention battery LED board - DEL-I548V-4P220000 Where to find a replacement

    I don't see anything wrong with the picture, but the contrast may not show a broken stub on the switch, How about looking for a replacement...

    Splice motor cable to controller.

    The first time I spliced together a 9 pin motor cable nine years ago, my display told me I screwed up by announcing a Hall error, I unwrapped all the heat shrink and found one of the phase wire solder joints had cracked when I did the heat shrink. Checking continuity won't tell you if you...

    Higher voltage battery

    36V bikes with 250W motors are rarely fitted with controllers that can take 60V batteries. That little blurb is talking about something else,. It could be the display, if you have one. A true 6)V battery goes up to 67.2 volts at max charge, Here's the max voltages 42.0V for a 36V battery 54.6V...

    Hello from Oconomowoc, WI

    I don't have any Lectrics, but I like to use the soft sided bags that strap onto the handlebars. There are all kinds of them on amazon. Mine will hold a Contigo thermal flask that I can fill with ice cubes for summer or hot drinks in cold weather,

    Can anyone help me out?

    I believe the UART Topology DZ40 LCD Displays with female connectors are for Bafang mid motor bikes. Is your Claud Butler bike one of them, or is it a hub motor. I think the signal pinout for hub motor displays is not only changed in gender, but the pins are arranged differently, If so, then a...

    How to install pedal sensor

    These sensors can be mounted on the left side or the right (chain) side. but only one side is correct. Sometimes the sensor plate has an L or R on it. It makes sense though that the ring bracket will go on the non-drive side, because it needs the flamged piece on the BB assembly to hold it to...

    Show Us a Tool

    Skinny wrenches! Bought them to take off the skinny lock nuts on on cup/cone axles. They're not for heavy duty but did the job,

    Show Us a Tool

    Older bike, drive side BB cover. How to get it out. RJ the Bike Guy puts a screw/nut combo thru it. TIghtens the nut and since this is a left hand thread, it loosens the assembly, Yeah, it works. Park sells a wrench for this job, which I have, but that works only after you use big time...

    I Crashed !!!

    Cleaned my gutters (one story) last week. The ladder tipped over, and I crashed to the ground. Lucky I fell on soggy ground, not the hard driveway. Still got a sore shoulder, which is making me play worse than ever on the golf course. Gotta have an excuse. For my age group, falls are the...

    Goodbye to biking

    Bummer on the AFib, Indianajo. It's starting to hit a few of my peers. At least the ablation worked.

    True Love in Color

    Zip ties on a fork work for me too. When I built wheels, I would true them in a old 135mm fat tire fork (or a 100mm fork for front wheels) clamped top my desk. I would tape a piece of paper to the fork, and mark it with a pencil. It is amazing how far a rim will move. when it is close to true...

    Go Bike Forte Trike Controller problem

    I bought an ebike kit that used the SW900 display. Same response, all PAS levels spin up to max speed, but throttle was variable. It also was intended for a direct drive motor, as it could not display speed when coasting, It was clearly a mistake by the vendor. He put the wrong display in his...

    PAS Problems with Bafang Rear Hub-Drive Kit

    I would expect the pinouts on the yellow plug to be standard, You will have a 35 inch cable to deal with. These sensors put out their own distinctive pulse trains which may or may not be recognized by your controller. For example, I just replaced a 6 magnet sensor with a 12 magnet model. Both...

    PAS Problems with Bafang Rear Hub-Drive Kit

    Possible causes. 1. Loose connection. 2. You broke all the splines on wheel, so it is not spinning. 3. Broken sensor, The problem with testing them is getting access to the wires. If you're electrically skilled, you can slit the cable to expose three wires. Probably red, black,and white. I just...

    Light(est) small Ebike with throttle for disabled wife (5'2")

    Look at the Qualisports lineup. While they offer a fat tire model, if your wife enjoyed cycling she would probably feel more at home on the thinner tires. The Blix Vika+ also is a lighter folder. We're both riding 26" and 27" bikes now, with over 3000 miles on them, but before that we took 20"...

    Can't Get My New Urtopia Bike to Work

    I have heard of the brand. been getting ads for the Urtopia carbon fiber ebikes. Looks OK, but I don't want a carbon fiber ebike. Anyway, I looked it up and there is a Urtopia Chord with a display that has fingerprint ID and voice recognition that cannot even be ordered yet, I don't want a...
