    Help! Battery needed for Volt Alpine (original style - 2012)

    Batteries can be re-celled. Cheaper than a new battery I am told. If you are electrically trained,you can re-build it yourself, there are YouTube videos covering it. regards Andy

    My first off and it was a strange one

    Maybe "someone" has also either been on the losing side of a RTA claim, or someone close to him.....just guessing of course.... Andy

    My first off and it was a strange one

    I would expect them to decide either way, wouldn't you trust them to do the right thing??

    My first off and it was a strange one

    Agreed, but it sounded threatening. Informing the Police cannot be negative..... Andy

    My first off and it was a strange one

    Glad to hear you are OK. Some really nice Ladies, pick real arse holes for partners. Seen it many times.... My suggestion is that you contact the police and tell them the gist of what he said (a recording would be brilliant!), and simply let them deal with it..... Hopefully that will take the...

    Headset - No Centre Bolt?

    Its an e-bike forum, so no major surprises there for anyone!! But thanks for the reminder, some might have forgotten! But there will be few electrical cables, maybe for the front lights and the LCD, unless its a front hub motor....which wasn't on the photos! And the LCD should have a waterproof...

    Crashed again...

    I wish you a speedy "repair" of both you and your bike! I always find it amazing just how "horribly" fast even just 20MPH is when you are in the middle of a major spill! Haven't had a spill for sometime now and I hope to keep it that way..... The tyres I have on my bike, even though I cannot...

    Headset - No Centre Bolt?

    If I was doing this job, I would remove the clamp and handlebars first, to see what is underneath. Then I would check out on YouTube for a similar piece of bike. What is shown in the photos, I have not seen before, but under that may be "normal"possibly. Best of luck. Andy

    Oxygen s-cross - how to prepare in 24 hours

    Lock and alarm separate. I use an alarm, with remote control, hidden as a red rear light under the saddle. Just over 12 UK Pounds on ebay usually. Runs for about 2 to 3 weeks with one charge. No chains are 100%, but when removing it, the alarm will sound....very sensitive! Buy the best chain...

    Help! Dual battery charging off bike Bosch 500Wh

    The charger will simply take twice as long as you envision it. But due to complicated circuitry, not designed to do this, and possibly the need for both batteries to be identical in all respects, age, voltage, charge level, "IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!" Possibly damaging something really expensive as...

    how much would petrol need to increase to change driving habits

    You think about such things, many drivers simply never, ever think about anything. And if you took the time to explain to them, they would not even understand!! Thanks for your excellent thoughts. Andy

    Power loss and grating noise

    To locate the controller, follow the wires from the motor to wherever they go, there you will find it. Sadly, I cannot advise on which motor and wheel combination to buy, as I have thankfully not had the need to buy one..... Hopefully someone here has good first hand information for you. If you...

    Bosch battery readouts.

    A good reason not to buy Bosch! Here in Germany, many complain about them, the plastic gears and the lack of support from the company, once the guarantee is finished.... regards Andy

    Help! Giant Fathom 2 2019 - Unrestriction via magnet move

    Some controllers are made for many/several wheel sizes, so selecting a smaller wheel should make the bike faster..... But not all controllers are made for such changes I am told. Maybe even replacing the controller with one with programming for different wheel sizes, might be a better...

    Bosch battery readouts.

    Why do you imagine they are being sold? Because you say they don't work? Think about it!! Of course you can attach such a unit with just a modicum of knowledge....just need the correct unit for the nominal battery voltage.

    Bosch battery readouts.

    Buy a battery capacity meter, they start really cheap on ebay.....maybe someone here can even recommend one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-60V-Lithium-Li-ion-18650-Car-Battery-Capacity-Indicator-Panel-Voltage-Meter/253554571316?hash=item3b0907b834:m:myqYmNy3O9GN4WHaquLf5WA regards Andy

    Chain wear?

    I believe I might see your problems. But guessing a little. Firstly, you need to count the length of the chain by links. Not by any other type of measuring. Naturally the size of the link, both width and length need to be noted. The one in your photo is far too long. Next, I see no motor, so you...
