At the moment they are sintered. Though I have run both

Because he is an expert. They look the same to you

The problem with buying a cheap direct drive kit is they are very power hungry indeed. Forget the 1000w moniker. Most 250w nominal legal hubs can put out at least 500w and many 800w. Most are geared and use battery at lower amps In the same manner one 12ah battery is not the same as another...

Sounds like a lot of effort! I use a single alternative method. Just ride till it goes away. It always does!

On the one hand it's great to hear this. On other, well, understanding in the manner suggested has to be earned. And this forum has few positive stories to counter the many negative. Over years to boot

I'm a year round commuter as well as riding for fun. Just need good gear to get out there! (waterproofs, gloves etc) II actually like it when the weather is crazy and the sea is crashing. Just need to be prepared!

I'm 41 and bought my first ebike at 25 which was rubbish and got stolen. Then again at 31 and built, fixed and ridden ever since. So outside your age demographic just now but experience within. Happy to help if I can

The wires that go I to the blocks seems odd to me but I've never played with one so no idea. Hopefully VFR or Nealh or someone equally knowledgeable will know (they will!) seems like black and red thin and one thick red. I'm going to hazard a guess on the 4 wire connector as a controller...

Will it not fit at all? Only you can buy HL style batteries that are side loading, brighton ebikes have them in stock now and then

Welcome Phil Never had any dealings with oxygen but always great to hear a good service story and useful for others. First ride in 30 years! I'll bet you don't wait 30 days for the next one!!

Hungry but beautiful!

I have not but I seem to recall bosch isn't supported Edit. It seems they do now

Don't disagree with any of that! It's just a personal thing. Maybe I've had a run of bad luck. For me second hand batteries have never been a good experience no matter the sellers say/belive

I also wouldn't touch it just because of the battery. Second hand batteries are too risky for me. Especially when it is making up most of the bike costs But I've seen these done much worse. This at least has a 4 piston front saint's and rear slx with large rotors. There is one done with a front...

I can attest to this as, despite being told by vfr, I still spent ages reviving all cells in a similar pack back to 4.2v slowy and painfully. Then reassembled pack, hooked it up and drove off. About 10 yards before 42v became about 15v. I think the case is in the shed still

Thank goodness for that!! What with this, the rugby and the arrival of my EU passport (as a dual national) its been a great week!

I once went into the Shoreham branch to say Hi being a local ebike enthusiast. Reception was relatively indifferent until I mentioned pedelecs forum in passing....and the temperature in the room dropped by 20 degrees and conversation ended!

Hmm 3 sprockets at a tenner each and 3 chains at various prices but all under 15 quid. Still on same bling ring which has done all but a few hundred of the miles one chain and sprocket was destroyed in an ill advised 3 miles jaunt on the sand when there was a super low tide Oh and two jockey...

I have two. Great posts
