Let an LBS do it by taking the wheel off and going there with it yourself. Ask if you can watch how they do it, and you may possibly be able to do it the next time yourself! Make sure that you do not make it TOO obvious what you are up to..... regards Andy

It was taken from a slightly "dated" online source. regards Andy

If you really like the mirror, you may find it possible to mount the "mounting bits" on a suitable bolt, hold it tight with washers at both ends and a nut, set it in a firmly fixed (vice?) electric drill, and using a file, reduce the diameter.....nrvrt tried it myself, but I would if needed...

Hub bikes are the largest in sheer numbers that are sold each year, by far, mainly because they are far cheaper, and far less complicated, and do not have the "push the bike home" feature, if say the chain breaks on a mid motor. See here:-...

As you should of course, both are important. Maybe add bike battery lights, with the rechargeable as backup? But you do need to check and see what happens to those bike battery lights, when the bike battery is empty and you cannot use motor drive anymore! That is highly important.... regards Andy

Sorry, I forgot to mention that certain people who LOVE mid motor e-bikes (been lucky or ride them seldom!), who accept all the disadvantages and negatives, will make erroneous comments to possibly mislead your personal choices. A secondhand mid-motor e-bike is a scary option for most informed...

Not a lot, but why use e-bike power anyway? On both the e-bikes I have owned, when the battery signalled "empty", it turned off thepower to the motor AND lighting. Highly dangerous at night! Which is why I have battery driven lights, with rechargeable batteries, that work independently of the...

I would advise that you avoid the complete bike for the following reasons:- 1) A betting man would bet that the battery is either bad, or going bad and a replacement will be very expensive. 2) Its a mid motor, and due to the fact that all power, muscular and motor, goes through the same piece of...

Simply ignore the reason(s), just swap the tyre around eo even out the wear better......I have done the same (on a car!) after finding out that my wife had hit a pavement with the RH front car tyre, which was not noticed immediately by myself, and eventually, after getting the alignment done, I...

I will watch this with great interest to see how you actually get on, and hopefully some knowleageable people will post for you. regards Andy

My best tip is to go for simplicity, and that means a hub (preferably rear) motor, as some mid motors tend to a) be more expensive, and b) at the end of the day, less reliability, and suffer with guarantee problems, as some (sadly!) mid motor manufacturers want you NOT to repair things yourself...

Interesting and very sad. Speaking ONLY for myself, I have never heard anything about this make, neither good, bad or indifferent. But when I decide to buy something, often on the internet, I do some research first, especially for hi cost ticket items. Over the years, I have not only bought one...

Take a good look, as if it is as you say it is, maybe the lock has been mounted incorrectly. regards Andy

Mine (which have been used many times, with no sign of wear), are 3mm x 6cm.They munch through any cylinder quite rapidly with only light pressure from me. regards Andy

A good question, my advice would be a non metallic dustbin, filled with water to just over the top of the battery, to keep things cool. But someone else may have a better idea, wait up! regards Andy

I have been in electrics and electronics since 1955. I earned a good salary working for both the RN after school, then afterwards for 4 different US Computer companies, and I want to remain working with my original 8 fingers and 2 thumbs, whilst watching with both eyes...... What you don't know...

It really doesn't matter as to the "state" of a battery with regard to the charger. The usual good e-bike Li-ion chargers charge at a max of 2 amps, which extends the life of the battery, in comparison to fast chargers which charge at around 4 amps, generally speaking. It is the current drawn...

The router bits I am talking about are about 4mm thick, and very hard, they can cut through steel and other metals. They are best used slowly (pressure wise), at around 20,000 RPM (Dremel or similar), and I have yet to find any lock that can withstand them! I could not find an exact version for...

Let us all know if you still need help, and I can probably help further if you need the Dremel Router idea ro work for you. regards Andy

Only moving one side is common with mechanical (cable operated) disk brakes. I have the same/similar, and if correctly adjusted, depending on how often you ride/use the brakes, they will give you better than any previous system, braking power. If you are unsure, look on YouTube for adjustment...
