Quite important everything is compliant or else the inverter could kill someone working on the lines
Oh
The plug is working in reverse
?
It’s bidirectional yes
Can charge the batteries or send power backwards
And when you use an appliance say a kettle
Nothing taken from the grid?
That’s right up to 3.6kW on this inverter
There’s a tiny lag so a very small amount comes from the grid
How does the electric meter react to backfeeding
Ah
I have a smart meter so it measured backfeed separately
You can even get paid for it
That's cool
People with solar and negative energy bills
Buy cheap at night and resell at peak time?
Can’t do that on this tariff
they won't pay peak prices
Oh
Or else loads would be doing it lol
Lmaoo
The closest thing is agile where you pay live wholesale prices
Quite risky because prices can go up when you need to charge
Guessing there is no coming out of this one ?
Nope!
Guess I'll have to get a new motor üò≠
What were you doing when it broke?
It may have been broke for a while, there was cutting in and out and grinding noise from the motor at times , would Regen have caused this ?
Was just riding like normal
Unlikely
The usual cause of that are people who try to use a mid drive on a hub motor
which generally doesn't work out for those reasons
and can be super unsafe
I did that for about a month actually
Then there you go
I talk to people all the time about it
I couldn't remember if you were one of those people or not
B een having drivetrain problems with the mid drive , guess I'll have to see if I can straighten them out somehow
Don't think I was on here when I had it setup like that
the sideplates of hub motors aren't made for torque
That setup looks extremely unsafe
and in poor repair
This is not the only failure you're going to encounter
Only front brake lol
What else looks unsafe?
Well, first of all, the rust and corrosion that's penetrating all of the metals is not good
I would be concerned about the axle nuts and the seat bolts
To say nothing of the shall we say, design
Then there's the fact that you have a single, borderline rusted out front brake
a rusty hub motor with no torque arms
chain rust is also eventually going to make snapping more likely when you put your legs on the pedals
most of these are preventable things with cleanliness and maintenance
but it seems like that's been neglected for quite a while, and a lot of it is likely too far gone
Very true , this bike has lived outside for quite a while
Also the spokes are loose and one is broken
Start over, man
Here's my other one been having drivetrain problems
What sorta problems
Chsinline issues with the Luna mini sprocket
And teeth busting off
So, With my mid i found i had a couple of drivetrain issues....
1 being, the Bottom Bracket of my mid is ever so smaller than than my frames bb
2nd was finding the right size chain ring
Also, Not 100% related.. But upgrading to a Deore Derailler from altus seemed to massively help
Interesting, it was the opposite for me

Running a freewheel or cassette?
nice kickstand i have the same one without the bolts hanging out
I was actually in the middle of installing that kickstand when I took that photo
Cassette
How many speeds? I got a 10sp cassette,. I was using 7sp chain all along
ive alternated between 8 & 9 Speed
Always bought "the recomended" chain when buying cassette
well thats one way to destroy it
Not that it probs mattered...
it does
Between 8&9?
from 8 onwards
Id have thought it would be almost insignificant...
cassettes are designed so that the gap between each cog is smaller
thats how they tend to be the same width total between 8-11 speed
That's why my chain keeps jumping after 500miles I guess
In certain gears
so wider chain means its contacting the cogs
and will also affect it sitting on cogs
i mean that could also be your chains worn out
So what are most bbshd front sprockets designed for ? 6/7/8sp chains , or it doesn't matter?
most bbshd fronts do 11speed
the bling rings support up to 11s shimano and 12s Sram (not shimano 12s)
Have you filed down any possible burs of metal and cleaned the bb?
What about Luna mini
Yeeeee
I like Luna minis but I burn through them by snapping teeth.
the luna mini says 10s and lower on their store page
Sweet
cheap chains, no maintenance, mid drives etc all contribute to wear
For me, I was lucky enough to just get a smaller chainring
Don't know how many derailleurs I've destroyed
like if your not cleaning/lubricating a chain and running a mid drive thats gonna wear it
