Cool, hope it goes OK, I'm a fatty fan, bikes that is, hope the tyre rumble is bearable, unlike my 4.8's on tarmac, I've considered ear defenders,o_Obut fine once you hit the muddy stuff.

So, in my quest to further my knowledge of all types of ebikes and against all that I hold dear, I have just purchased a Bosch CX powered bike:eek:supposedly in need of some work on the motor:eek::eek:. I know, what on earth was i thinking, it's going to be a disaster, but the thirst for...

LVC is usually between 41-43v on a 48v battery, but you may find those last 2 bars disappear fairly quickly with voltage sag if your battery is beginning to show it's age. Test it out close to home so you don't have too far to cycle unassisted. BTW what's the new bike you've got on order?

Have you asked Jimmy at Insat Int. to rebuild your battery? I'm fairly certain his work carrys some kind of warranty and he uses quality branded cells, which most ebay batteries don't. I would not hold much faith in most ebay resellers warranties. eBike Batteries

It will be prefectly safe to continue using the battery as long as you want. If it still has the range you need for local running around, seems pointless to get a new battery. You may find the range improves a little as the temperture rises. If you don't already, try and charge it indoors at...

If your forks are unsuitable for a disc brake, you could consider fitting a Magura HS 11/22/33 hydraulic caliper brake to the front, which will greatly improve your braking.

Nice bike Chonka, I think you made the right choice with a new build, sometimes rebuilds just don't prove cost effective, esp. when your bike dosn't suit your plan.

Sounds promising Richie, hope you are back on the road soon. It's reassuring for other owners to know that KTM can still provide parts for, in ebike terms, quite an old machine.

A Bosch service centre will be able to carry out a battery health check for you, you need to take in the complete bike for this, not just the battery.

Paul at EM3EV used to do a 3 setting 52v charger, but around the same price as a power supply.

Don't do it, it will only add to your confusiono_OI bought a yose power battery a couple of months ago for a project which didn't go to plan, so ended up deconstructing it to use on another bike. Good quality LG cells, but with variable internal resistance between the cells and nickel plated...

Just order the ETM motor PLEEEEEASE!!!

I think there is a very strong case for this to be somhow implimented into ebike law, or maybe easily added to the disability dispensation rules. There's no good reason why poeple with certain disabilities should be excluded from riding a pedelec. In reality you are prob. very unlikely to be...

Your Panda charger will be fine to charge your Cyclotricity battery, just make up an adapter lead to convert from 5.5 mm jack to whatever connector your Cyclotricity battery has, observing polarity, then you can use it for both. You may need to open the battery to check this.

Had to agree with all vfr's suggestions on battery care and here's a couple more for consideration. 6. keep your battery in cool storage conditions, but charge at room temperature. 7. Don't charge your battery to full and leave it unused for long periods of time. You may also want to check the...

A custom built soft pack held in a frame back can be another option for a F/S battery, but you would need to talk to someone like Jimmy at insat Int. The rear shock mounting position varies wildly on F/S bikes as you will see, making some alot easier than others to convert. A vertical shock...

I don't think you could of had a better result really, new motor in a new bike for a bargin price. I think part of the problem is that generally road testing is not part of the inspection process in most bike shops. I can understand this with a brand new, out of the box bike, but to me, one that...

The controller and LED display can both be replaced if need be with generic Chinese items fairly easily with a few connector changes for arround £40, so no need for owners to panic.

As already said, it's totally illegal to use in almost every country on the planet! If you want to produce high powered 2 wheel transport, look at the electric motorcycle market where your product would be welcomed.

Basic bottom of the range branded ebike. The front hub looks fairly small, so it's prob. not great on hills without lots of effort from the rider and a small 8Ah, 300 Wh battery, so you will struggle to get your required 25 mile range.
