The motor has three phases and Hall sensors, so you could spin it with any controller. The wires for the cadence sensor also come out. The KT controller would give you wacky speed readings. When coasting, it would use wheel sensor and wheel size. Should be correct there. Under power, you can...

You have a bigger problem in Iowa than a 15 mph limit. A new bill introduced in Iowa would only allow cars, trucks and motorcycles to use public roads. https://who13.com/news/new-bike-restrictions-proposed-in-iowa-drawing-strong-reactions/

We have no speed limits on our local trails, but the forest preserve trails in Chicago and the inner suburbs have a 15 mph limit for ALL bikes. I ride those paths twice a year, and it's no hardship, Most people are around that speed. Without a speedo, how would they know anyway, A few are...

Around 30 years ago, I had a battery powered Craftsman solder gun. I found it useful to keep in my car. Ran off a rechargeable battery, Would be handy today for when I was shaking down ebike builds. Often had a wire in the harness break, The technology was in the heating tip, When it burned...

Tomorrow is Ground Hog Day. No matter what happens, it's only 7 weeks til the Spring Equinox. It seems like we just parked our bikes six weeks ago, just before the beginning of WInter. Batteries were fully charged in case the roads stayed dry (they didn't). We did get out on 1/13 for an...

I have done this twice, wiring up XT60's backwards in a rush, When I connected the battery to the bike, the connector pins melted instantly with a big POW/ZAP. That probably saved the controllers, DId it with a BBS02B and also a hub motor. You must have connected the battery with it switched...

It takes a week to join? Actually, I think someone spend big money to buy this site from Court. Hope he is enjoying his private island,

I would diagnose this as a battery issue. One of the internal cell groups is probably low on voltage. When the battery sees a load, the voltage drops under the mininum and the battery turns itself off. It resets when the display powers down. Because we're only talking about a small difference...

News reports had RAD's unpaid balance sheet around $40M, so I would say their creditors are getting back 1.7/40 or less than a nickel on the dollar on average.

Here you go. Website says it's in stock. https://www.johnnynerdout.com/product-page/bbs02-replacement-controller

Stuff I never liked about Rad included the early bikes with direct drive hubmotors, and all the fat tire models. I did like their commitment to battery safety, although early results don't seem too good,

I read that the winning bid for Rad ebikes was $13.2 million. The winner gets to wipe out the debt that RAD owes, but will still be liable for any future lawsuits, To think that investors put over $330 million into the company.

My new WIn11 PC is a money pit. Not being familiar with what I needed to run the current version of photo and video edit software, I bought a gaming PC. Prices have really jumped. The used Dell machine I bought for my wife last April went from $248 to $359 on amazon. The new Dell I bought after...

WTF, indeed. This was posted in a senior group I frequent on Facebook, and the gummers were cheering about getting those blasted kids on ebikes off their lawn. They all missed the part where if a kid needs a drivers license to ride, then so does everyone else. along with liability insurance, and...

I downloaded both documents. These are safe. Endi7 should probably include some photos in the posts. The battery build was interesting. I have gone thru most of the same learning curve. My suggestion would be the Panasonic 50S over the 50E that he used. The 50S has over twice the maximum...

Ha ha ha. I get a text from a different number (I block them as they come in) with the same message. asking about selling my house, every few weeks.

It's less than 7 weeks now to the Spring Equinox om March 21. We did get a thaw after New Years, and we've put in 4 rides. although it was under 40F. Normally would have stayed inside. Anyway, time will fly and bulbs will be sprouting by them. When I was much younger, about this time of year, I...

Throttle still works? Bad pedal sensor, or if it is a two piece unit, the magnet disk got pushed too far away or it's slipping on the pedal shaft, I don't own a Himingway, but have seen the latter happen. Hard to believe they can slip w/o turning with the pedals, but if the plastic deriorates...

This is how I did an anti-spark XT60. Pretty much any resistor should work, but keep it over 5000 ohms. When the switch is turned on, it allows full current to go thru. It can be realized like this. I quit using it though. I'm not having a problem with the XT60's turning black.

That's a tough part to look for. Popular motors like AKM and Bafang have parts, but the no name guys are like orphans, I see you marked and counted them, and it looks like 39T, Count the other ones to be sure, Post on a technical nuts and bolts forum like endless sphere too,
