As the keys are usually paired to the battery, my first port of call would be to talk to Insync's own customer service people which their website says is 0161 727 4066. If they can supply a new lock with keys, you should be able to pick, dismantle, or drill the old lock out. It's often only...

Yes... The charger and the keys are the two essential parts needed to operate an e-bike but not physically attached to it when left outside Tesco's and then stolen.

The battery has a Battery Management circuit (BMS) which cuts-off the power as soon as the cells sag too far to prevent the cells being damaged. Switching the battery off and on again resets it. By time you've done that, the cell voltage has recovered/bounced back somewhat. But that voltage is...

Everything you say indicates a worn/knackered/life expired battery. The battery appears fully charged, but dies as soon as you put a load on it. The very short charge time confirms that. You can check that by fully charging it and measuring the voltage (it should be around 41-42 volts), riding...

If it is a KT controller you should be able to derestrict in theory, but MiRider may have modified theirs to prevent you doing that. You'll need to ask them. Even so, it's a 16" wheel: Wait until you're riding one and ask yourself if you would feel safe going much faster than 15.5mph. The...

As I understand it, MiRider changed to spoked wheels instead of cast, and increased the battery capacity slightly to 7Ah for 2021 - the weight dropped by about 1.5kg. As the rep implied, they use KT controllers, and they also use Clarks cable-operated disc brakes instead of generic Chinese ones...

Schwalbe have introduced their own Tannus-like Airless tyres too: Home - SAS Airless (schwalbe.com)

Halfords now link the Pendleton Somerby Owners manuals on their website... there's a few battery operational quirks detailed in the first of these, and general bike care, adjustment and maintenance in the second: Halfords Pendleton Somerby Drive System Owners Manual Halfords Pendleton Somerby...

Yes. The S6 is a totally different bike to the S9 - frame, wheel size, battery etc etc. Click here for Onebot specs.

You really ought to register your bikes(s) (and other valuable possessions) with serial numbers and pictures on a free web-site database such as www.immobilise.com so Plod can match any recovered items to you, the owner. Immobilise (and others, like Datatag) also offer RFID chips for stuffing...

Why don't you talk to someone like www.markshop.co.uk? They're main UK resellers of e-bikes very similar to the Mate in construction style/fabrication that also use very similar 48v systems e.g. Samebike 20LV and Fiido M1 Pro. If anyone knows of an alternative that might fit, they likely do.

That number, as posted on their current website www.swiftyebike.com, is in fact disconnected. There is a new Southend number now listed for Swifty Customer Service which is 01702 208187.

Ironically, Swifty appear to be based in Southend too. Their "Customer Care Hotline" is: info@swiftyebike.com Tel: 01702 300100

You need to read this first: General Advice for Bike Choice When Doing a Conversion | Pedelecs - Electric Bike Community If you want practical help, you'll need to post links to retail sites showing your bike(s) and/or photos of your proposed conversion bikes(s). Very few here - if any - are...

I've had an increasing number of bad experiences in recent years with buying "premium" known brands - including LG, a product that failed catastrophically straight out-of-the-box. To me, these brands mostly seem to thrive now on past glories and reputations rather than current merit. Countering...

Loads of Chinese tackle on ebay for that money - but not necessarily with all the things you're looking for, like suspension (tricky) or a larger battery for 35/40 miles - or if a larger battery, a quick-ish charge. I suspect you'll need to compromise somewhere. Most have cable disc brakes as...

That seems doubtful to me... DMEGC (like BMZ) principally make OEM/ODM batteries (of several chemistries) for many throughout the US and Europe. Their website even claims LG as a customer. DMEGC do seem to have a pretty big, swanky factory, they claim making 80,000 x 18650 cells a day (among...

I'm really interested by that question. People pay a premium for branded cells - LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony etc - but these are just brands we are familiar with and trust in the Western world. There seem to be several brands known in the Eastern world that mean nothing to us, but held in some...

From what you've said, HMRC won't allow you to claim the whole purchase cost. To do that you'd need to prove that the bike is used wholly and exclusively to conduct your trade - you'd not be allowed to use the bike for any personal mileage AT ALL. That might be (IS) very difficult to prove...

Of all the things you've considered above, in your position, I'd agree with those thoughts the most. £2000-4000+ would be an awful lot to spend on a working/high-mileage e-bike, especially one that might need more specialist parts to fix... that's time off the road and not working. And I'd guess...
