    Ebike kit for a friend

    Hi there, not really enough info to comment One 20ah 52v may be vastly different from another 20ah 52v battery the more amps you want to pull the better quality the actual cells need to be and the BMS capaability For example my current 36v battery is made of MJ1 cells and has a 25a BMS. this...

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    Answer from me is yes but I'd always wait awhile. My days of being an early adopter went years ago as it can be expensive or hassle

    Help! My first bike conversion kit

    World's yer oyster I imagine . Any pictures of the bike ? If it has a standard bb then you could go mid drive (bafang bbs01 is road legal or the high torque bafang bbs02b from Brighton ebikes if in stock) I think they are easier to fit than a rear hub but that's just me. Hub will be cheaper...

    "World’s most efficient" bicycle drivetrain unveiled at Eurobike

    I recall seeing that article a year ago. Nothing appears to have come from it And to be honest I can’t ever see it on an Ebike . You’d need a bespoke mid drive and frame just for this gear system . Which currently can’t actually shift ! Huge amount t of expense for a little efficiency gain...

    Decalthons customer support and returns policy is light years ahead of Halfords to boot

    Tredz

    Only ever ordered parts from them. Two terrible experiences of being sent totally wrong and cheaper item and the second time it was damaged. Both a nightmare to get sorted out but we're in the end However , they did also give a 20quid credit as compensation Still, other than using the credit...

    velomini 3 troubleshooting help please

    No issues with an external battery at all However there are risks at running the system at 36v. Namely you may either blow the controller rather quickly or melt the motor (usually the nylon reduction gears specifically) a 180w motor makes me think don't do it And buy a replacement 24v battery

    velomini 3 troubleshooting help please

    All the hallmarks of a failing dead battery there (dead cell string or two) can you measure voltage straight after the system dies please ? I'd anticipate a voltage below the low voltage cut off which rises but then dies again as a load causes the dying cell string voltage to crash once .ore

    Battery flap cover

    Final thought is it is probably not too difficult tomake a replacement using black sugru take a trace of the triangle shape into paper Squidge the sugru onto a flat non stick surface to say a couple of mm thick. (Maybe lightly oiled baking paper ?) Take the traced paper shape, place on top of...

    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    These scooters are a real issue where I live in and around Brighton. There are so many on roads, pavements and cycle paths. Many doing well over 15mph and seemingly ridden by hipsters and eejits. They cut up pedestrians , motorists and most cyclists especially on the shared use or too thin cycle...

    Advice on Cheap Option

    Ahh. Unless you want to deretrict it for more speed. You can do that via the LCD but in practice expect no more than 1 or 2 mph

    Advice on Cheap Option

    I have the xf07 (supplied by Woosh as it happens ) I have been very impressed with it, beyond expectations and it really does sip power compared to anything I've ever owned So a plus one from me for that motor
