    Can anyone recommend a good ebike repair and battery construction book(s)?

    Great idea, as the industry/Hobby as a whole, could use one (or more), but to cover all makes, it will have to be very comprehensive and probably quite large. Then there is the problem of updates and amendments as "better" designs are made and sold... Furthermore, there is also the problem of...

    Help! Continuously Faulty Bosch Ebike. I want a replacement

    Well done, and many thanks for the clearly written update - you won the war! You used, correctly, all your fully legal methods to finally get your money back, just as you should, when something is sold but is not "Fit for purpose!". And you were MOST patient as well..... I wonder just how many...

    DIY Insanely Bright LED Bike Light With LED Strip Lighting (on a Budget) on Instructables

    For those of you who are "committed" to making your own products (and saving money at the same time!), this instructable may prove interesting, though you may need to modify it with regard to bike lighting laws in your own country, as I am of the opinion that flashing rear and front lights may...

    Fastest ebike charge?

    Why would anyone do that, and why do you even mention it, in your opinion? Also, you appear to be answering me (?), but as I did not see it mentioned by the Battery University (or myself) in the data I posted, which was all at the cell level, therefore no BMS...... So what are you talking...

    Fastest ebike charge?

    Why and how, if I may ask? Sounds very interesting as its "only" a light I am given to understand.... Thanks for your reply. Andy

    Fastest ebike charge?

    For anyone seeking to get the best possible life and performance out of their bike battery, reading the Battery University is a useful place to learn from. At this time with the current types of Lithium cells, the faster the charge, the higher the SOC, the shorter the overall life span of the...

    Fastest ebike charge?

    A better way IMHO only, if you are not a fanatical "Anti weight" person, is to own a bike where the battery is easy, day or night, to replace with no tools. And also to own two batteries. Remember, you will not need to take the second battery for all rides, just when you need the extra range. I...

    New 1500w kit not working, Please can someone help!!!!!

    You did not mention which direction the wheel is turning, so I assume its the correct direction, but if not, this display may be telling you that either the direction is wrong, or some sort of "sensing" is THINKING its the wrong direction. But I am really only guessing as I have not seen such a...

    Meths is many, many times cheaper, and far more useful for other jobs as well, but NOT for tasting!:eek::eek: Regards Andy

    Yet another turn any bike into an E-bike motor

    I remember being given a lift in a Bond, around 1960 -1, and I did not like the experience much, as a single tyre in the front, has to do all the steering and most of the braking, and the car IMHO "leans" too much. Then having a kick start under the bonnet simply made it even worse ..... If only...

    Yet another turn any bike into an E-bike motor

    Pretty it is not, but it will probably sell to csome ommuters, ones with a short commute, who already own a normal bike, but are not as fit as they once were, IF the price is considered to be right! There are full e-bikes around, that the start price is around US$400, so it may not be an easy...

    To Loctite, or not to Loctite?

    Really good point that I neglected to cover, "my bad!" I bought myself a toolkit for bike owners many years ago, and in that kit, are special "thin" spanners (wrenches for the Americans here), that allow you to hold or adjust that inner nut very easily. The proper name for them I do not know...

    To Loctite, or not to Loctite?

    I liked your fun comment about "Balls everywhere!" I really had to laugh about the comment, but not about the situation....as it was an awful situation for you I would guess, that probably happens more often than we might believe...... If I understood you correctly, and I do not know myself how...

    To Loctite, or not to Loctite?

    The OP has posted some really great and clear Photos, my compliments! But do remember, it all depends upon which colour LocTite is used. The Blue should always allow bolts to be removed, without any damage to rider or parts, as long as the thread and head are in good condition, and the tools...

    Odometer problems

    It still might be the battery, as it may be low/at its end, so to say. Still high enough to power a clock, but nothing else as well....... Just a thought! Andy
