ImmobiBike is a similar chip system here - in both my e-bikes. You buy an RFID chip that you push into your seatpost downtube with a broom handle. Plod use scanners to read the chip and check against the database. Halfords sell them too (£12 last time I bought one). DataTag offer a similar one...

Well they're here, so I'll give them a go on my Fiido D11 - currently generic Chinese Mechanical Calipers with sintered pads on 160mm rotors that work well enough but (sometimes) squeal. Yes, good point: Boiling/expanding oil on a long, fast descent! That could be fun... or not if the pads lock...

Halfords sell the Carrera Crosscity, so they'd be my first port of call for replacement parts. Are the cables actually chafed or looked stretched? There are a few connectors in the wiring harness from the handlebars that can easily work themselves loose, especially when the stem is folded. That...

I'm just wondering if anybody else here has tried upgrading their mechanical disc calipers to hydraulic and what your thoughts are? Are these ZOOM HB-100 hydraulic calipers a good compromise or waste of time? With these it's only the caliper that's hydraulic, so you don't have an oil reservoir...

The individual brand-name addresses are irrelevant. It's EXACTLY the same company behind all the brands. The telephone number and email address is always the same and has been for years... if you ask Argos for technical support, buy a bike from Ideal World, or buy a Swifty ebike from Swifty on...

My opinion is as Neal says - it's an outside chance that any display that's "similar looking" is likely to work. You're likely wasting your time and money. If you're going to look for a replacement display, did you try the service helpline? The importer/distributors contact details are shown at...

I think part of the problem here is that nobody knows what version(s) of Kalkhoffs Agattu you're talking about. Your first post says "original Kalkhoff Endeavour Agattu 1"... but "Endeavour" is one range of Kalkhoff ebikes, and "Agattu 1" is a totally different range. Kalkhoffs current series...

Perhaps damp in the electrics? As a first step, I would take the bike into the house for a day or two and let it dry out thoroughly. Beyond that, check the ability of your battery to hold a decent charge: An aging one can appear to be fit as a fiddle, die as soon as you need to draw power, and...

Whatever your personal beefs may be with Halfords, you can't deny they must be doing something right (quotes from here). "Halfords has reported a 140 per cent rise in sales of e-bikes and e-scooters compared to last year and a 120 per cent rise in electric car servicing." "Halfords currently...

Superficially, it looks okay to me. They don't tell you much, such as how many gears or the brand of the gearing/brakes, so I'd guess it's mostly generic Chinese parts... but there's nothing inherently wrong with that at this price. It looks like the usual King-Meter style LED control showing...

It seems to get to a tipping point and then the Police act, as this ebiketips article shows: Over 3,500 e-scooters have been seized by the Met Police so far this year

Welcome James The Impel range is too new. More to the point, the Hyena electrical system it uses is too new, being totally different from anything Halfords or AFAIK any other maker has used before. Halfords have been pretty clever at foxing those wanting to crack speed limits in the past...

If I had to hazard a wild guess, I'd say it's a Joycube DT-12, but you can't tell diddly squat from those pictures.

I have ebikes with torque, RPM, and cadence sensors. They're all different and each offers a different riding feel. Each method has their advocates. Torque requires some user effort, Cadence doesn't necessarily; how the power is supplied is a function of the controller used and how it's been...

Welcome manxcat There is no answer to that. "Which is best" depends entirely on what features and capabilities you need and want, what purpose you're going to use the ebike for, and what terrain you're going to cover. None are dogs: There'll be very happy owners of all of them.

When I recently looked to buy a sub-£1000 folding e-bike for utility as the OP's, some I looked at (for example ADO and Himo as stand-out examples) did have truly awful controller implemetations. IIRC, ADO A20 has setting 1: Flat-out PAS to 15.5mph with no throttle implementation. Setting 2...

You press the button for 2 seconds to switch the battery on or off. The 1 LED shows it's working. If you press and hold the button for 5 seconds then 1 to 4 LEDs will flash to show the state of charge between 20% and full. It's in your manual on Page 9.

I've never looked closely at the Crosscity, but I'm guessing it's just a generic Chinese folding e-bike using generic parts, just branded for Halfords. I can't see how Halfords won't sell you just the part. I'd try another store. You can buy a replacement pair of cut-off brake levers for a...

You buy a suspension-less, road-going hybrid commuter e-bike "mostly for off road hiking around the forests"? Yeah, right! The Impel range is too new. More, the Hyena electrical system it uses is too new, being totally different from anything Halfords or AFAIK any other maker has used before...

Welcome Michael Your Halfords bike battery is rated at 36 volts and has a capacity of 8.7 Amps/hour. The Halfords charger you link is for a 36 volt battery and will charge it at 2 Amps/hour, so it'll take roughly 4 to 5 hours to fully recharge a reasonably flat 8.7Ah battery. Provided the...
