I agree with all your remarks except that for all the rough edges, it works for me. As i said elsewhere earlier today, my neice who is 5'8" and 65 kilos, rode it 15 miles uphill and down dale and loved it and after about 800 feet of climbing it still has about five miles left in the battery...

Where do we live? Is this North Korea? I get the feeling some would like it to be - at least in terms of how they could suppress the opinions of those they dislike. If they thought more carefully, they might realise that once opinions can be proscribed, it would soon mean that no one could...

I don't like Farage - But what is wrong with that? Nobody is forced to pay him. He has something to say that people for whatever reason, are prepared to pay for. If you were interesting Lenny - people might pay you. Go for it, instead of complaining that other people get money.

That's a very rascally opinion for this forum! :) By the way - the new government's first move was to cancel pensioners heating allowances, so they already saved that money. Personally, I always thought that benefit should be means tested. Makes no sense to be handing rich people money just...

25 degrees in Telford! The map has my area showing only 19. How long will it take to ride my BBS01 conversion from here to your area? If you want to feel warmer, just put a coat on. That's what we do up here.

That was pretty funny and probably not too far from the truth.

America doesn't tax very wealthy companies properly, and it is no surprise that certain individuals like those who invent companies like Apple, or Microsoft, or Paypal, or Amazon, who own a large part of the shares of those companies because they invented them, are very very very rich indeed...

An interesting article, but after the initial claims about the age of the lady (Martina) and her fitness, we then discover that they have no records and can't count...... In another part we see this sentence - "According to their records, Hilda is 81, but she says recently her family killed a...

All it needs is that lazy, arrogant scum, empowered by government agencies, open the package and stuff it back together without any care. Why should they care? They have the power to interfere with your property and no accountability is in place. If the management doesn't care, the font line...

Might be, but this can also happen when the battery is out of balance. What happens is that the fullest cells groups reach 4.2 volts, while the weakest ones or the most out of balance ones are still well down. Then the BMS ceases charging all the cells, but the difference between the full ones...

I hope you will let us know what happens when you try to use the bike. From what you said, I think it won't charge up at all. You did not respond to Neilh's question about the overall voltage of the battery pack at the output terminals.

Ha ha ha - that's what I was going to say. Wanted COMMUTER e-bike that can go at 20 miles an hour. Will be used on private land. Where does he commute to - up the top field? :)

Ha ha ha - I wouldn't go so far as to say that I love them. They were just a necessary evil back then when they were all I could afford. They really are stinking filthy things as far as air pollution goes, but I did make some smoke back in the day. Others may love them more..... :)

That is entirely correct. The BMS won't charge it. I was suggesting he do what I did which was to attach a small, wall wart LITHIUM charger to the low cell group, and raise the voltage with that, until it is the same level as the other cell groups. Then, the BMS will allow the whole pack to...

If the OP is careful and is technically competent to examine the cells in the opened battery, he may find the low cell group or groups are just below the 2.2v sort of level which would cause the BMS to refuse the charge. If the bad groups are very low or totally dead, there is no point in going...

Must have been badly out of fettle. Those old two strokes should just start straight away. Of course there are lots of issues in worn, and neglected 2 stroke engines. Bad petrol, coked up spark plug, wrong spark gap, wrong points gap, dirty points, duff condenser in points, bad ht lead, low...

Better still, why not just buy an old classic motorbike if that is your thing. There are surprising numbers of them around and bikes like the BSA C15 are not expensive really. You can pick up a good one for about £2,500. They are tax and mot exempt, or can be made so just by asking the DVLC to...

Like Larkbox said, try leaving it plugged into the charger for a few hours (supervised) and if no joy, disconnect for a few minutes and do it again, and again. It might come back, or it might not. Failing the above, you will either need to scrap the battery, or open it up and do some testing of...

Has you battery been stored a long time without use? This symptom you describe often comes up with bikes that have been left a long time without charging them. In those cases the cause of the no charging e-bike is that the voltage of some of the cells has fallen below the level at which the...
