Mark Liederbach<p>Some ominous storm clouds along the commuter bike path this morning. The poncho is packed and I threw on the storm shield, so bring it on. <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23MadisonWI" target="_blank">#MadisonWI</a> <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ebike" target="_blank">#ebike</a></p>

Kate :verigold:<p>Why yes, I am 100% taking a long weekend because my delivery window for my new ebike is Friday through Monday, and I don't want to muck about with short-notice flexi/half-days, and absolutely not 10% that, and 90% the fact that it's been leg day twice every day this week, and I'm absolutely knackered from the hills! 🚵‍♀️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bicycle</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/eBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eBike</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CantWalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CantWalk</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Scraped the paint off the other side of this, and mystery is revealed. The opamp IC is being used as a voltage comparator to report battery voltage! <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Hmm, this ebike has a LM342N embedded in it. It has no connection to the controller, it has has a momentary switch only connected to jt.

AI6YR Ben<p>Near complete dissection of an ebike.

Kate :verigold:<p>Mare of a morning. Turns out that as well as my ebike no longer being able to change gears, there's now a loose battery connection stopping the motor assist from kicking in....or causing the battery to die. So I spent my morning reassembling my old push bike that I'd stored at work in case of emergencies. Got it set up &amp; me oil caked. Went for a spin, &amp; one of the tyres promptly got a flat because I'd either shifted or ridden over a tiny little thorn. So I had to redo a tyre 🚵‍♀️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>Aha, this is the equivalent of a Nakto "Step Through" bicycle. </p><p>The little button on the left doesn't start the bike, it's just a silly little horn.</p><p>The switch is a LIGHT SWITCH.

AI6YR Ben<p>Aha...I can't find a brand name on this, but the design of this is almost identical to the current "Ancheer" electric bikes. I suspect it's close to the same specs as whatever they were building in 2010. Probably multiple manufacturers with cloned designs, anyway. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>So far all the line colors/groupings match. I suspect this is close to whatever these Chinese controller companies are using as a standard. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>
