    Ultra budget lithium technology battery

    no, I went for the folder http://www.proriderleisure.com/leisure/electric-bikes/e-wayfarer-electric-folding-bike-silver.html as it was lighter and I thought the smaller wheels would be better for hill climbing. The rack on the back should take just about any battery. The motor seems pretty...

    Ultra budget lithium technology battery

    My bike is complete garbage: it's a prorider, I could probably have built something better for far less. I'm hoping the cheap Chinese vanilla controller will be amenable to various battery types.

    Ultra budget lithium technology battery

    Hello, I've not been using my bike for a couple of months and according to the battery (36v phylion) instructins I should recharge it for a few hours. The thing is, the battery power leds still indicate the battery is still highly charged (the three led are still lit). Do I still need to...

    New Phylion 36v 10ah battery charge times
