Has anyone used a vacuum storage bag for their bike over winter?

I would guess it will be the petrol version that will draw the police attention. I Doubt that with a 5 mph top speed and close parental supervision they Would irritate anyone. Similar to the kiddies ride ons you see all the time. Fortunately I have a small private drive that they Can use. I...

Thanks guys. They would be used off road and pavement for that matter. Part of the reason for capping them to a low speed is so that I can keep up. As you say it is a dream present not a necessity. Problem is I have one of nearly 6 and one of nearly 8 and I am told that if I buy for one I will...

My grandson is begging for a mini moto for Christmas. I have found a Razor Pocket Rocket 24v electric version. How difficult would it be to restrict it to around 5mph from its top speed of 15mph I suppose worse case scenario I could add a physical restriction to the twist throttle. Just found a...

How do you split/join the wires. Do you solder or use connectors? I have never had much luck in soldering thin wires. Is there a good technique for it?

D8veh, if I have my kit set up as throttle only will the set up still work as set out in your schematic? I would like to know before I cut the throttle wire and give it a go.

Thanks. I have repositioned the right way up and now it's out of the way. Is the throttle in my Cyclezee kit just the three wires as in D8veh's diagram? D8veh, did you fill the box with sealant after you had soldered it all up and did you trim the pot spindle so the rotary knob was flush with...

Thanks. How stupid off me, I will reposition the display. I appreciate your advice on any adaptation at my risk. D8veh, if I used a three position switch how would I wire it to make the third position an 'off' switch. This might be useful as a safety feature. Any images of inside the pot box...

I would rather stay with the throttle and cruise control. Thanks to you both. I will have a look at D8veh's idea. A question for Cyclezee. Do I have to have the led display in circuit for the system to work. I have a tight fit getting it all on the bars and i think I would be happy enough...

I am looking for a Daahub style micro throttle switch to supplement the twist grip throttle on my Cyclezee kit. In an ideal world it would be like cruise control. I am happy with what I guess to be about 70% for cruising into wind or slightly up hill. On the flat or better I am happy providing...

My reed switches only have two wires. However if you can adapt the switches without cutting any wires it will not be an issue. I assume you have the mk 2 kit as mine is the mk 1.

I removed the sensors from the brake levers that came with the kit. I then shaved off the plastic moulding to make it flat all around. I stuck this to the hydraulic brakes. I then used the magnets from the cyclezee brakes and used a piece of coat hanger wire to make a small attachment to the...

When it comes to the alleged prosecution I can find no hint of it anywhere. I am amazed that you have a direct line to this one Flecc. I think the earlier post about the scooter style is a good example of drawing attention to yourself. I still see a normal e bike gathering no attentiion 250 350...

But surely if there was no interest or market for higher power bikes no one would care. I would still like Flecc to post up the details of the pending prosecution for a ebike related offence. I actually look at my conversion and think that apart from an illuminated reg plate and a 6mm larger...

I would imagine that the man in the pub has always been a bit of a myth. In my experience the 'fence' is someone that gets a reputation for being able to get what people want. The majority of the customers are average joe that cannot resist a bargain. A lot of stolen goods are stolen to order by...

The term 'Organised Crime' would probably not be appended by the Police to cycle theft. I think we could help ourselves with registering our bikes datatags etc. I cut my teeth by catching cycle thieves back in the mid seventies. Even then to find a cycle actually on the property register was a...

Cyclezee do a pair of switched levers for£17.50. I adapted a pair that came with a kit to work with my shimano hydraulic levers. The micro reed switches and magnets can be detached to adapt to your levers if the levers cannot be used out of the box.

I like the look of the magnets to go in my Shimano chainset. I think you will need to be very careful as this will be quite a fragile ring if you take 41mm out of the centre. It will leave you about 7 mm cleareance from the magnets. The disk itself feels like quite a brittle plastic. As to...

The disc has an external diamaeter of about 68mm and the width of the disc is 4mm. It is slightly wider at the centre of the disc but you would obviously be cutting this away. On the sensor it is attached to the mounting plate with two small screws and has a shaped base that should fit over the...

Even with the spring in the throttle i have not really found it an issue. It's quite intuitive to hold the throttle where you want. That is even with a left handed throttle. I took John's advice as the LH throttle leaves your right hand available for Rh signalling whilst maintaining throttle...
