@Eagle You can find more detailed information here: https://www.ziv-zweirad.de/fileadmin/redakteure/Downloads/PDFs/PK-2019_21-03-2019_Praesentation.pdf It's in German, but maybe some graphs are still understandable.

Usually BionX components are very resistant to rain. I use some tape on my BionX batteries though. How frequent are the beeps? Are the regeneration modes functional? How is the charging status of your battery? Maybe the system believes that the battery is out of its usable parameters...

A member of the German Pedelecforum posted this "emergency solution" if you do not have a BionX battery. If you do that the console takes longer to react, you lose the battery gauge and the clock. Sadly also recuperation will not work. Maybe deactivating code 3774 (overvolt protection) could...

This one: I have to admit that it is expensive (70-80€) and you can not repair it. Needs 6V to 36V. Power consumption in standby is 0W (exactly zero), power consumption in action is around 1.5W. It's not as load as a car horn, but imho load enough. E number for speed pedelecs. I own one, but...

I have no idea about the rukes in UK. What's the disadvantage of registering an ebike as an L1e-a vehicle in UK? (In Germany the huge, HUGE advantage is the insurance and in the 5 years I rode my speed pedelec I never noticed any disadvantages. Okay, I always stop at red lights with it.)

What you write is true. Many components that sell in the hundreds of thousands can be made cheaper and in good quality in various Asian countries today and they are made there. On the other hand you CAN find things invented and also made in Germany, for example some very good lights (see...

My speed pedelec is from 2013 and before 2018 most of them had been registered with a "maximum speed" of 20km/h in Germany (measured while the rider is NOT moving). So I do not even need to wear a helmet on it :) Since a feew months I do own a Abus Pedleec+ helmet which is already certified by...

I bought a Supernova M99 Pure+ (12V) for 150 Euro. Had to solder my own connector though... Light is excellent(!) in comparison to my other bike lights. Is it worth the money? Hard to tell. I say that one accident is significantly more "expensive" than buying a good light. People beleivve...

I think the new daylight signature light for Supernova M99 or Lupine SL is quite good.... On the rear side you have the license plate and brake lights. In Germany it has been easy to buy a speed Pedelec + insurance for many years. In 2016 market share of speed Pedelec was exactly 1%...

Main BionX problems have been the Chinese 48V battery disaster in 2011. + their software problems in 2012+2013 with version 4.x and 5.x. Since version 6.0 the software is very good. the BionX P motor is very good and imho quite reliable. actual 48V batteries are said to be quite good and the...

Avoid heat. The hotter the quicker the degradation. Avoid storing your battery fully charged for long periods (especially when it is hot). This is ore a problem with LMN and LFP, less so with NCA cells, so depends on the type of battery. Avoid deep cycles if possible. (usually you can not...

BionX motors use 48V 30A controllers since 2011. Except systems with 13s3p batteries which I assume that the Smart bike uses, too. Those are "throttled" to 48V 25A max. Not because of the motor, but because of the cells (Samsung 18650-22P) not be able to handle more power. 250W, 350W and 500W...

PS: Have you considered a Grace One as a street legal option for UK? http://www.grace-bikes.com/bikes/one/ This one is NOT a s-pedelec in Germany but a moped, because t has an official 1300W motor drive and runs up to 45km/h with throttle only. So it should have a L1E b CoC (just a guess!)...

Germany has the s-Pedelec class and while I think those are fantastic if you want to ride faster demand is quite low. In 2016 around 600.000 pedelecs have been sold in Germany and only 1% have been s-Pedelecs. My Diamant s-Pedelec from 2013 has a EC CoC and is classifed as a L1e A vehicle with...

Maybe some day I will try a (folding) trike. I live in the city and there is little room for more bikes left, let alone a velomobile. I'm a (not so active) member of the German velomobilforum since many years. If I would live in a less urban region I would like to try one. Rain is not sooo...

Greetings from Germany... I don't have a car and ride some pedelecs. I started with electrication about 7 or 8 years ago: I mostly bought used stuff or new things at very high discount rates. A 15kg city bike with Cute 85 front motor and modified KU63 controller for a pedelec legal throttle...
