    Juddering from bike and power cut

    Different battery connectors need careful use of the probes so as to to not cause a short circuit. ISo cannot answer you as I do not know your actual battery, sorry, but someone here will! Meter probes with all but the last 2mm of the tip, insulated with Electrician's tape, would be a good...

    Battery care?

    Very good. :) :) :) Andy PS. Having two batteries allows you to run one battery down to 10% or less and swap "on the road" with the other one, for the best life of both batteries.

    New ebike kit recommendations?

    I feel its not a good idea using headphones on a bike, as I saw a Guy fall off for no obvious reason, till I helped him get his leg out of the frame, and helped him to his feet. It turned out that he had been happily listening to some music, and a faster e-biker/biker had simply overtaken him...

    Juddering from bike and power cut

    It really depends upon your knowledge or that of any electronic friends you have. IMHO its not difficult, but you do have to have a reasonable level of knowledge of safety procedures and also about the possible dangers with regard to e-bike batteries. I have added a few YouTube videos, for you...

    Controller phase wire issue

    Thats would seem to be a good idea, use far longer pieces so that the ends are tight on the cable, either side of the connector, so as to make more waterproof as well. This will help to prevent corrosion as well. Two pieces, one over the other, would also press the connector more tightly...

    Battery charge cycles

    The following is "in my opinion only, but supported by around 20 years of first hand experience and usage, plus the designing of chargers for other cell chemistry, which after many years, are still in use today! And demonstrating very long lives for those batteries. I try to "err" on the side of...

    Problem with front of donor bike rattling

    I agree. Hopefully its a standard size, and that it can be obtained quickly. For a Bike shop, they are probably in a position to replace/adjust the parts, with their eyes closed.;) But as its also a safety issue, then your assessment is by far the best way to proceed. Best wishes for a rapid...

    Problem with front of donor bike rattling

    I agree with vfr400, it looks as though someone has loosened it, and not tightened it and adjusted it correctly afterwards. Its simple to do. Or a bearing has collapsed, though I have myself never ever heard of that, then you will need two new bearings of the correct size, and the knowledge to...

    Battery charge cycles

    It missed the detail about the charger and the battery and how each react to the other, but that is what some here apparently cannot understand (I have explained it previously a few times, with supporting links as well!) anyway, and even that info you posted actually got it wrong as well...

    Battery charge cycles

    Its a reasonable start, what it mentions is good, but it misses out on some good infos. Its still more than most bike manufacturers give their clients!! Thanks for sharing.

    GPS Tracker for £2 a month

    Does the UK not have its own SIM cards that just charge for calls and texts? I have got so used to them here , I spend about 5 Euros for 1 month's of calls and texts on my smartphone, SIM from Aldi....... Whatsapp only at home on the WLAN. Generally speaking, for a GPS tracker, which one hopes...

    Battery charge cycles

    Its a good question, that gives several answers, depending upon who you ask. I myself think the very best method is to have a bike where you can swap the battery out easily (not all can!), and to have a second battery available with your ride, so when the "in use" battery gets down to 10% or...

    Oxygen S Cross bikes

    It seems to be about half the price, or less, than many mid motor bikes, with their inherent problems. I feel that you made a great deal, and you can always chop and change the small stuff till it fits you, with the huge amount of money you saved!!! best wishes Andy

    GPS Tracker for £2 a month

    I would guess you supply the SIM card. The Vodofone unit has IMHO, several problems I feel, fixed SIM card being the worst, it is also rather large, modern ones can be much smaller than that, and monthly fees...... I feel that its a good idea to find a SIM card with NO monthly fees, but that is...

    Trek Allant+ 8 for touring

    I wish you happiness, but what about all that extra weight of the camping gear, on an e-bike, thereby stressing out the chain even more than usual, a mid motor bike where all the power, both motor and muscles, goes through that single "path" to the rear wheel? Do take a spare chain, links and...

    Woosh santana petite

    May I suggest a lot more infos like the actual battery voltage (multi meter), the voltage coming out of the charger, the LED indicator colour while charging, age of battery/bike and anything else you have noticed, particularly if an LCD display is fitted to the bike. Often, Batteries being...

    VLCD5 defect?

    Sounds like the unit is defective, maybe through moisture ingress. If you are brave enough, careful opening and say putting out in the sun, might drive off any moisture.... Long shot, but easy to find out! Best of luck Andy
