    Kalkhoff Agattu Belt Drive Chainring Loose-Which Tool to use ?

    The picture is so unclear, and me not having such a system anyway, I have not got a clue as to what you are talking about. Sorry. Maybe a new clear picture and a small arrow pointing at the offending part? I hope someone who really knows this system can help far better and quicker. regards Andy

    Speed Re-strictor removal

    If the controller is programmable, and you have got the information on how to do it, then programming a smaller wheel size would probably be an easy option to go..... But do not forget that some bikes, the higher road speed brings with it an unacceptably high speed of rotation of the pedals and...

    Bike Transport

    A Ford Transit sounds really good, one missing the back row seats (or simply store above your head in your garage!), as they are wide, and probably will not need the front wheel to be removed. On a modern disk brake bike, removing and replacing the front wheel, with that quick release feature...

    Bike Transport

    You did not make that clear I feel, but no problem! I once went on holiday with two bikes, not "E", with a proper roof rack for bikes! Travelling was good, but getting the bike on and off was bad. Though using the same hardware on the top of a much, much lower small trailer, has proven to be...

    I personally hate rook racks like you, bikes are too heavy for me nowadays. I prefer the bike racks that go on a to hitch..... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=bike+racks+on+towhitch%3F regards Andy

    Bosch and anti-theft

    I appreciate your thoughts, but what good does it do anyone? The thief cannot use the bike, so he sells the battery and dumps the rest, how does that help you? A GPS might be a good idea! One well hidden! They are easy to track with a smart phone. Also, put an electronic vibration alarm as well...

    Mine has been working for 1.5 years now, totally great! USB charging. But as you say, if it goes wrong, you buy another. I had a look at the electronics and it has been very "cleanly" built!! You won't regret it. Also, I found a small type of garage door opener remote, that can also copy...

    Modifications

    I liked all your mods, really nice work, but IMHO you still missed one! A rear light, that is partially hidden under the saddle, contains a sensitive alarm, a 433 Mhz remote control, a handlebar holder for underway, a horn and of course a LED red light with 3 different programs! Anyone trying to...

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    Assuming that the motors are designed for the same current and voltage, they will be electrically and electronically as good as Identical. The main difference will be in the casing, as basically all the rest is "fixed". An aluminum casing, is simply not as strong as say a steel casing would be...

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    I don't think I would pay the extra for a lighter motor. Actually not simply because of the money, (even though my Scottish blood might agree!) but because if the motors are equal performance wise in everything but weight, then the copper coils weigh the same, the rotor will weigh either the...

    New Light

    Don't wire it to the battery, or at least have another one with its own batteries, as some e-bikes shut off all power to everything when the battery is "empty".... I found that out years ago and have always had battery lights since then. Regards Andy

    Has anyone bought a rear light alarm with remote control?

    I feel that the actual idea is that YOU hear it......I am almost always within earshot of my bike....at home, in town. I trust nobody!! Andy

    Has anyone bought a rear light alarm with remote control?

    The alarm reacts sensitively to tiny vibrations, firstly only giving a short alarm, but if the vibrations continue or restart, it then goes into "long" alarm mode.... Useful if strong winds affect it when its parked outside. Trying to remove or cut a chain or similar would set it off, probably...

    Has anyone bought a rear light alarm with remote control?

    Well I did about a year ago and I am most pleased with it, except that I could not purchase a spare remote control! The unit I bought, was this one, but from another seller:-...

    Looking to buy an electric bike

    Whatever you buy, make sure that the batteries, often a significant part of the weight of an e-bike, are secured with a key, but that the key holder can easily remove and replace them if they need to lighten them. Also, whatever bike carrier you have on the back of your motor home, one on a...

    Well done,I am sure that they will help someone with more knowledge here, to help you. All appears to be fairly standard. Have you considered having the battery "re-celled"? It is possible to do that with some battery cases.. Regards Andy
