Nice to see Dahon conversion. Would like to electrify my folding bike one day. Looking at the website for the motor you got it has the words "proprietary technology" that would make me hesitate as that usually means that it's not easily repairable

I was finally able to buy a new KT controller. I plugged everything in and still have the same issues as before. I feel like crying. I did not break out the multimeter yet. I thought for sure that we had narrowed the issue to the controller. I guess I should go back through and do the test...

So I come back to the bike today and plug in the 2x3 hall effect conector(the connector that before when unplugged allowed the wheel to spin freely). However plugging it in did not immediately cause the wheel stiffness. I turned on the power and plugged in the throttle and after some minutes it...

Ok I did some testing Multimeter set at the 2000 OHM range Red lead to controller Black power wire all three controller phase wires read 362 or so Black lead to controller Red power wire all three read about 358 or so Other combinations give no reading (I tried going down to the 200 OHM range...

I'm very interested to see your build. I have a folding bike and a full size electric bike and I would love to turn my folder electric. But I would want it to me multi-modal, that is I can ride it to a bus or train fold it ride then get out and ride. Most of the folding electric bike out...

I was doing some searches here and found this in a tread: "Turn the motor by hand with it connected but switched off. Is it hard to turn. Disconnect it from the controller. If it's now easier to turn, your controller's had it." This would seem to indicate that my controller is at issue

Hello again, Thank you I had put this aside for a while(since I got temporary access to a car). So I am back now figuring how where I was at with this. I did buy a new multi meter so I have that. I tried plugging in a different throttle I had. That one also makes "throttle" to appear on...

Re: the multimeter I think I had it set on the lowest DCV setting, I had tried to get a reading off a AA battery at first but I didn't know if that battery was good. Then I thought, oh I know a battery that has a charge for sure! I took the bike battery off and stuck the probes to the + and -...

Attempted posting pictures of controller

Hello good people, here is my story. feat. old Raleigh mountain bike with ebay rear wheel direct drive "1000 watt" brandless hub motor Risonmotor KT36/48 controller (KT36/48SVPRK-SLS02G) KT LCD8H Display Hailong style 48v20ah battery I had a slow speed collision with an SUV, she came out of a...

It's interesting that a legal ebike has to cut off power at 20 mph but a car has no restriction on its power over the legal speed limit

Years ago a friend of mine came to me all exited about the new(Japanese made)bearing in his skateboard wheels. I didn't get what the big deal was. So he demonstrated by turning the board over and spinning one of he wheels. It just kept going and going. We stared at it for what seemed like a...

The site says they are showing it at a wine festival/event thing and a police conference. They will probably try to sell to military too if they are marketing to law enforcement. I guess they won't be selling it to any cops in Florida since they're illegal there...

Looks like a Wavecrest Tidalforce. It's from the same area of northern VA too.

The one I got from mirosier is great I've been meaning to ask him about it. I'm pretty sure it's designed as kick stand/torque arm and it locks in the down position. Because it's right there at the rear motor it supports the weight well and the locking feature is great. The bike can't roll...
