The only criticism I could give is that pointed weapon thing near the cranks could be dangerous in an accident or to poor unsuspecting animals that may run in there, going at 45kph, ouch.

I have many questions  ???  .
 This wheel is not what it is in the Golden Motor picture.   (see the site)
 It is better if Golden Motor put pictures of each size of wheel(16,18,20.cast) because they look different,and to write under the pictures . which tire can be fitted in each one of them.

all the parts came with scraches (bad delivery) or....Golden Motors fault.I >:( >:( >:(t also came without instructions . >:( :-\
 
 
The cable for the wheel have one cut it's not mutch but  I don't like it. (Golden Motor is not good in  packing. Next time put some cover on the cables ,and something   on the wheel .(plastic cover or something)  comming more.

Valy, the sizing of motorcycle and pushbike wheels is done differently.
On a motorcycle with a 18" rim, the 18" relates to the tyre bead diameter (the inner diameter of the tyre), but on a push bike it relates to the overall tyre size (the outer diameter of the tyre).

As the Magic Pie is intended for pushbikes, it is therefore measured as per all other pushbike wheels.

I don't understand what is the problem with the disc  is it for  wrong side ??? is coming in side where the chain  supose to be. ???You guys can you help me please  ???

You have been supplied with a screw on disc instead of the bolt on one which the Magic Pie requires.  It looks like someone has made a mistake with the packing and accidentally supplied you with the wrong brake disc! ::)

Nice kit.

Looks awesome with no spokes.  Very strong.

Shame about the disc though.

Valy, three beeps indicates a throttle fault, check the throttle wires carefully at the connectors.

Check this post for more details

The red button is not connected to anything, but it can be used to turn your lights on and off etc. as long as the current is relatively low, usually used with the LED lights.
You should have two spare wires (a brown and a yellow one) coming from the throttle cable, these are wired to this red switch on the throttle control unit.

I will buy anoder battery to try on 36 volt.
the speed is very slow in 24 volt

Just tested it with 36V and 48V and I will newer ride it with 36V again! Sure it is just 10km/h diffrence in top speed, but everything else is awsome!

Thats been a well discussed question.

You have a BMS that should limit the current just above what the Pie uses.  If that doesnt work as expected you want 35 amps.

But what makes all this a useless waste of font.

Read on.

There is still is the warning "Important Note: While using regenerative braking, DO NOT turn off the battery". as per GM PDF installation Guide  If the fuse blows while braking the controller could fail..

Use a 45, 50 amp fuse just to be safe .

Be gentle Valy.

Set it up.  Do not run the motor when not tightened the nuts properly.
