ok so i have charged my battery fully, done 5 miles and connected the watt meter to the charger. after fully recharging [ or what passes for fully recharging] the reading is 0.102 kwh. so can i assume from what trex has said that it is the motor that is suspect ? the bike ran normaly for the...

i have used schwalbe marathons [ not marathon plus] for 2.5 k miles over various surfaces and they have served me well. they are lighter and cheaper than the plus ones and still offer reasonable puncture resistance. i tried marathon plus on my non electric bike [single speed] but removed them...

that looks an interesting device so i have ordered one to help diagnose my problem. it will may also help me demonstrate to certain members of my family how much power is consumed when things are left switched on :)

just back fro a 15mile ride and no better. 2 bars down on the display when under load which would not have happened before. the bike still ran fine getting me home . will the new range be about this or will it steady [ or rapidly] decline until it has no range at all? if it will do 15miles i...

so battery has now been on charge for more than 24hours after the green light came on. not much difference with time in between the red light comming on, maybe a couple of seconds. the charger is still slightly warm so i assume it,s trying to do something but failing. the charger would go green...

very good read with valid points i think that ebike riders are again a different breed of cyclist with different attitudes on the road which i suppose is a general sweeping statment covering most of the points mentioned. speaking of different breeds of cyclist , i encounter them all on my...

thanks for the replies . will put battery on a long charge.

update i have had the battery on charge and decided to leave it a bit longer after the green light came on. what i noticed was the green light turned red momentarily approximatley every 15 to 20 seconds. to be honest i couldn,t say for sure if it has always done this because in the past i just...

thanks for that when you say that :you have had a lot of stories of premature wear on their batteries: do you mean alien inparticular? it is an alien kit that i fitted to my bike which is 250 watt and i think 10ahr battery rear rack mounted and front wheel drive. it has performed faultlessly up...

after just over 1 year of commuting 2.5 k miles my alien battery appears to be on its way out sadly. i would have thought it would have lasted a bit longer. the strange thing is that it has happened so quickly. up until a week ago i could commute 13 miles and then back without a recharge or the...

thats great thanks very much

ok now after being on charge for longer the charger led has turned green and the reading on the lcd is more or less 42v. i will now only use this readout as an indication of the state of battery charge. so with this in mind if fully charged is 42 what does it read when nearly discharged . thanks

thats good to hear . i will keep it on charge longer thanks again for keeping me right

thanks for the quick reply. my one appears to need the battery switched on to charge. with the battery switched on the red led on the charger came on as soon as the charger was switched on and stayed on for a long time , even after the charge level on the battery showed full . i then switched...

i have a strange issue with my oxygen emate mtb 13ahr. i have done 15 miles from new and when i put it on charge the green light on the charger comes on instantly indicating a full charge even though the lcd diplay shows one bar down on full charge. if i switch the charger off then press the...

thanks for your in depth and honest review of this bike.

fair point dave. my own stupidity for not doing the search before posting. so the general opinion of the cyclotricity is that the service/ aftersales appears good. on the downside some of the cycle components appear to be problematic but are rectified by the company when they occur. i think that...

my search continues for my new bike. the above cyclotriity is still on my list along with another couple of brands. the problem with the cyclotricity is that although there are a few dealers advertising that they stock this brand when i phone to ask which models they have in stock they don,t...

i have checked out the specs of all the bikes recommended above and they all seem excellent. i own a full sus non electric bike and know how much you have to pay for serious off road ability, i would not be using an off road e-bike for anything as serious as my full susser but would need it to...

thank you all for the suggestions. some seriously good looking bikes thats a very kind offer Eddie but i live too far away. also DC your comments on a good hard tail are my thoughts exactly
