    In Brighton we have a shop in main drag that is selling electric scooters. It's only a few months old The bike lanes are full of the bloody things doing around 18 to 20 mph. Certainly faster than legal epacs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    Woah! One step at a time Those battery are only held in place by a small piston that locks into a hole when. you turn the key I lost my key and, using a screwdriver or two, was able to create enough leverage to remove the battery without damage. That is the first step in my view. I then...

    New bike advice

    I'd disagree HT requires skill that FS does not the skill level in my local group is very evident between those who only ever ride or rode FS. They simply have not needed to use their body in the same way and be so alive to terrain - they have less " feel". I don't feel as "connected" to a FS...

    BBS02 creaking

    Hi So I took that damn thing apart again . The mounting was on wrong. I thought the raised bit was to bite against the corresponding notches in the B.B. nut rather than the B.B. housing itself. I have a proper bbs tool /spanner btw to match the two B.B. nuts (and an extra length of metal for...

    A suppose that at the moment one cannot buy hydro brake sensors due to the bespoke connector (that looks like a funny USB?) Or do you have them ? obvs they could be made by hacking the connectors off the levers and soldering into another hydro sensor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    48V TSDZ2 (250W) are now in stock

    This is a great option to have for future kits, I'd should be keen to see a picture of the test bike from front and side on the non drive side From what I can it is rather more stealthy than my GSM or Bbsxx units Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice for a true 'Gentlemans' e-bike...

    Hi , I have a bbs02 and a alfine 8 pairing It produses up to 80nm but I was worried about trashing my alfine. There is a thread about it which I'll try to find. Conclusion seemed to be it was well within operating parameters using a 42t front ring and 16t sprocket Ch errs Sent from my...

    Need New Handlebars Due to Accident

    Another thought is how wide are your bars. Super wide is very on trend but I find you need to stretch out those arms.! By going for narrower bars you need less arm movement to achieve same steer angle. Some argue this makes the bike more "twitchy" . Horses for courses I guess Does that make...

    BBS02 creaking

    It's a fair point and no offence taken I have also wondered whether changing crank arms to those which have significantly greater q factor might be placing additional leverage/twisting forces which were not there before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BBS02 creaking

    Like the title says it started creaking when pedals given a good bit of pressure such as standing on pedals in a tad too high a gear Now it creaks like crazy every time pedals have any pressure put on them This includes no pedalling . Hit the throttle gently in a low gear. Massive creak...

    Battery Equaliser

    It appears to me that, for you, mega fast charging is the most crucial factor And I agree that few (if any ) bms will cope with your requirement However , I don’t understand your logic about why this won’t kill your cells fast . It will On discharge , cell loggers or lipo alarms work just...
