Thing is though that the adapter cables are bulky, cost around £60 and I don't see what keeps them from being nicked while in use. Would this european system succeed over here? I'm not sure.

It may be best to set the meter aside for now then and write up symptoms in gory detail, they'll be needed for a refund or exchange. Like so: Summary: charged battery seems dead because bike display doesn't come on. Blue bike : battery 36V 15Ah serial 123, controller 36V 7/14A, these work...

The smaller battery may not charge faster, it just reaches full sooner, but a ride doesn't have to start from full. If the Yose arrives home having used 2V of its 42V it's ready to make that trip a few more times, so its immediacy is better than the smaller battery: you could charge it once a week.

If you're new to electrics don't use the meter terminal marked 10A / mA10A yet. With a battery, work slowly in good light in a comfortable position, and if anything isn't what you expect take a moment to think it through or read up. Maybe steady both hands on a surface and move one probe at a...

The rear dropouts look 10mm for a hub motor but the frame's too small for a regular battery and the BB has external bearings. Can the BB be changed to suit a mid-motor? Any other difficulties?

Glad you agree, that's why I suggested those diagnostics. Levering the battery off will make it harder to test as it won't have the bike loading it or the chance to disturb the cradle and motor.

I was rather hoping you'd let us know which kind works best ;) "Revolving Wing Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is a new alternative to existing Darrieus, Savonius, Gorlov, Tokai, Ugrinsky, Giromill, Eccentric-Disc, Helix, Folding Vertical Sail and H-Rotor type VAWT designs"

Sound advice and you can test downstream i.e. starting at the battery, or upstream or by binary chop :) depending on what you can get to easily. Intermittent faults can be due to overheating or vibration with poor contact in plugs or cradle, or sometimes a strained wire or water ingress...

** AVOID TAKING BATTERIES INTO DWELLINGS ** And if David Cameron is reading this, betting on a vote was very foolish.:rolleyes: David Cameron says Rishi Sunak aide’s bet on election date was ‘very foolish’...

My thoughts exactly. Found this system where you don't carry a battery or a charger, just a cable that tells the (free) charging point which of 21 brands of bike you've got. The cable costs 1/8 as much as a battery would, see pages 11 and 14. Bike-Energy.com leaflet

... and the car has a charge profiler too. I met a rider who'd been towing 4kWh around London, he used EV chargers but they bill for time as well as power, and the necessary adapter was bigger than his charger. After a year of this he was selling up. Some filling stations and supermarkets...

The key to the icons is in the top right corner. I'm seeing full addresses, business names and charging status without being logged in, nice, although not contact details. Zap-Home charging network guide - Zapmap https://www.zap-map.com/ev-guides/public-charging-point-networks/zap-home-network...

Brilliant flecc, thanks... last seen here around 2016, they / he'd been trying to develop the concept, company, website, app and recycling business... hmm. Maybe it's good for this to resurface every few years, these days the tech side's easier and who knows, a CIC might entail less overhead...

> it only takes one cafe manager/owner to start charging £££s Too true, but what if the online zap map shows popularity i.e. how much usage each charger gets? The moderately busy ones probably aren't expensive or broken. Usage fees are up to the provider, but with more customers being the...

So imagine that 0.8C isn't a stretch. For longevity you'd charge at home mostly and keep fast charging for further afield. To visit somewhere 20 miles away averaging 10Wh/mile you'd need a 400Wh battery, or a 300Wh battery and a 25 minute top-up. 30 miles distant would need 75 minutes...

There'd be an online zap map for low power (ebikes, trikes and mobility scooters). Each charging point could display addresses of other nearby points, although that's not much help without a satnav. A single 2A charger adds only 9 miles of range each hour, so adding 80 miles in 2 hours is good...

I like this idea by @mr_ed that I've lifted from another thread: "Similarly with fast-charging.... I don't think it has to shorten battery life or cause fires. It works ok for Tesla where they can recharge something like 50% in 20 minutes. If I could do that on my e-bike I could carry a much...
