    Speed

    ------------- It's quite hilly in this part of Cheshire so down to 5 or 6 mph is regular. However when rolling along fairly level lanes, the speed keeps to about 17 mph. The rolling average normally is about 14 mph but as soon as I go out with the young grandchildren it drops dramatically to...

    Cyclamatic rear hub motor servicing help

    I recently bought a whole wheel from SportHQ including brake assembly, tyre and inner tube all assembled with a warning to keep tyre pressure up to 60 psi for £60. All nicely boxed and carriage included. The surprise for me was that the wheel was not central in the bike and I found loose spokes...

    Do you leave your battery on the bike when you lock it?

    Yes always. The bike is a Cyclamatic Powerplus. The battery is locked intyo the frame and cannot be removed without the key. The saddle has been replaced as has the sabble subframe so the tip forward mechanism is no longer there. The seat post is an after market suspension unit.The rear carrier...

    Advantages and disadvantages of e-bikes over conventional bikes?

    The only disadvantage Well not quite. I agree with all other contributers especially those who talk about going to places previously unreachable. The biggie is limited and difficult transportation on cars when the bike is needed on holiday or some distance away from home. I can't get mine onto...

    Electricity usage question.

    Dimmers I sometimes wonder if dimmers don't just dump the unwanted power somewhere else rather than the light bulb.

    AlienOcean Aurora thingy??

    It is possibly the connection cable for the front light. A bit of an odd way to do it but it must work!

    Change of battery voltage

    Thanks NRG. I think I'll keep the bike as it is. The bike is a Cyclamatic as supplied by SportsHQ and as such I have little technical backup. It was an economical way into eBiking which has now grown on me. My next bike will be one that is supplied from a closer to home retailer.

    Change of battery voltage

    All this talk of battery voltages and ampage has left me totally in the dark. The question that would be worth answering if possible is: Would a 36 volt battery replacing a 24 volt battery cause problems with the controller and/or the motor (I asume all components are intercompatable within one...

    Cyclamatic

    Has anyone got parts for the Cyclamatic Power Cycle. I'm interrested mainly in the rear wheel assembly and component parts such as brake shoes and gear sets, the control unit and the handlebar twistgrip control. If poss, reply with cost and location. I'm in Cheshire. Regards Richard...

    Kalkhoff Pro Connect S XT 2010

    The Aston Martin must not exceed 70mph. It is not governed to that speed. I agree with all else you said but the point is that to ride on British roads we all should be subject to safety legislation. To exceed 70 mph in a car is far more serious offence than not using pedals to activate a motor...

    Kalkhoff Pro Connect S XT 2010

    legal illigal sooo what If technical limits are imposed on ebikes to limit their application ie going faster than 15 mph, must pedal to activate motor, limit motor to 250 kwatts etc. then the legilators would have to put limitors and govenors on Aston Martins and Ford Kai's. It's the same...
