Thanks guys. This shorting didn't work for me unfortunately. With or without the sw900 the bike wont move. I dont know what is missing with this luna controller (2 of them, not just 1) - something odd with the sondors display or the power switch wiring (to get display powered on requires...

I didnt reliaze that the kt display was needed with kt36 controllers. Explains my problem. Thanks.

Thanks for this! I didn't get a shorting plug. This was a Luna "as is" sale on their Sondors hop up controllers. So ill have to do some jumpers tonight and try this again. Can you be specific about what i need to jumper to what? Note: on 6 wire plug (plugs are now removed and wires...

Hello everyone. Bought 2 of these KT36 controllers. Having trouble with wiring. To a 5 wire SW900 display I get power but ERROR 10. No response from throttle to motor. The motor phase and hall wires are in a HIGO and ao does mt motor so all good there. Changed battery and controller to...

Thanks so much for that. I'm reading through your build now. Really nice work. This is a helpful read.

All great comments. I havent yet decided on a controller btw but I'm close. Just like my motorcycles in the garage these bikes are very useful machines to get places with a higher fun factor than a car. Ive already run several errands for my business that i normally would have taken a...

Alright.

Depends on what id be getting. But im fine with a few hundred if the controller will allow for a motor and battery swap later. These won't be our only bikes. But i already want these changes. And the experience of changing them around myself.

Thanks for that info. Helpful insight. I've had the bikes 2 days and have done some miles. Ive pulled out the controller and had a look. The 3 level selector is annoying. On the trails its either a bit too fast or a bit to slow. Level 1 to level 2 jump is huge and level 2 to level 3 seems too...

Excellent links. Thanks. Also everyone lets not forget to add a rear safety light. The racks i ordered have great mounting points for rear lights btw. I dont BELIEVE these bikes come with more than reflectors back there. Still waiting for fedx so i cant say for certain.

Excellent. My pair arrive today. Racks arrived this morning. So after installing those while the bikes charge, looking forward to a nice cold omaha ride.

Ordered a pair of these 2 days ago. Bikes havent arrived yet and already I want to make DIY changes. I seek your wisdom! Its the Hyper e-ride mountain bike. 36v 7.8ah 250w rear hub. Lets change to a controller that will: give me integrated lights, a twist throttle, a decent display. This bike...

Juat as an FYI, in my own shopping Ive noticed BIKESDIRECT lists several models sporting integrated bafang 600 and m800 setups.

Great topic. I'm a pre-natal ebike DIYer. I've been lurking here and on reddit's ebike sub, deciding what to get. Background: onroad/offroad motorcyclist and road bike rider. Yesterday someone on reddit posted a sale on a 250w hub motor Walfart mountain bike with decent reviews for just $400...

I bought a pair of these yesterday and am also going to add a throttle. I'm waiting for them to arrive so I can see what connector the system uses. Then Ill get a programmable controller (that will allow me to build a stronger battery) with a decent display. Any suggestions as to which...
