    15 bucks for a cable routing fish tool, huh? I looked on my wall and found a roll of weed whacker line. Pulled the 4:1 harness thru the frame with it and some tape,

    KT Contollers searching via model number

    I would think only the factory sells them by model numbers, and you probably need to order 1000 units to get their attention. The resellers that sell KT units have stocked models that are popular sellers. On the plus side, KT is a well documented brand with a variety of displays, and they are...

    Help with getting power from motor

    You built a really nice car there, but you do need to add some electrical skills. The alligator clips on your meter are a bit blunt for probing smaller contacts. Put them on your battery pins first. That will help show you how to use the meter.

    Help with getting power from motor

    RIght. Top comes from controller. POwer comes in on red/black. Check that first, When display turns on, it sends power back to the controller on the blue, Two plug connector is still probably for lights, Very low current, when you get the display working, DOn't power the lights directly. Use a...

    Help with getting power from motor

    No display lighting up means it's not seeing battery power. It gets battery power from the controller. I believe it's this connector. What you circled is for lights. Here's how it works. Red and black from the top are battery/ground., Check it for your battery power with your multimeter. It's...

    And todays morons are

    What to watch for is the jogger/walker ahead of you who decides to do a 180 degree turn and come back at you, jumping into the lane you were planning to use to pass them.

    Presta valve material

    An after market sensor on a car has to be (a) real tight and (b) sloshes thru rain/slush 24/7. My adapters are on finger tight. The valve stem underneath is screwed down to hold the air, and they always leak, hence a check before almost every ride, Plus they don't see winter conditions when...

    Help with getting power from motor

    You put it all together and it worked! Hurray. Then you extended the wires. Doesn't work. That's a logical place to start looking I'm sure you did, but keep looking. There's also different classes of not working. Does the display turn on or is it blank. If it turns on, does it give an error...

    hi, new Lectric dude from the Chicago area

    The lake path can be quite busy on weekends across from downtown. Yes, I think it's fun and scenic. Expect to drop some bucks on parking and a slow drive home on the expressways at the end of day, You could park up north some place off Lake Shore Drive and ride to the path. Or start in the...

    Presta valve material

    I've kept brass Shraeder adapters screwed on the Presta tubes on two bikes for ten years now. They're always being screwed on/off to check tire pressure. Never worried about them binding,

    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...

    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...
