Here are the pics of the 10Ah battery supplied with the Byocycle Boxer, the bike's fitted 4-prong plate and the new 15Ah battery bought on eBay. I've also added the original battery from my Oxygen bike (this has 4 connections on the base but the bike has only 2 prongs). I'm guessing the 10Ah...

Yes, I will post pics tomorrow. Thanks. :)

We've had a look and I think we'll have a go at this if it's just a case of switching the prongs/bases and nothing more. Only two wires are connected via spade connectors and it looks straightforward. Thanks.

Last week my husband bought the Byocycle Boxer 24" folding mountain bike which was fitted with a 10Ah generic/Silverfish-style battery. Really he wanted the 15Ah but this was unavailable with no prospect of fresh stock in the foreseeable future, so instead he ordered a 15Ah battery from eBay...

I'm the opposite. I always wear bright colours whether this is a high-vis vest over normal clothing, a bright red jacket or a bright yellow fleece in summer. I never wear black because it is much harder to see.

I use the walk assist for a hill start - it gives just enough power for starting off so I don't roll backwards and actually move!

I've had 4 bikes from Ebikes Direct and would highly recommend the company to deal with. ATM I have the Basis Finch 20" folder with cadence sensor and a generic battery - the latter being one of the main reasons for choosing this bike because batteries can be easily sourced and switched...

Why not just carry a portable USB powerbank in your pocket then you can remain warm if you also get off your bike... I wear a cheap £4 USB heat pad under a jumper in sub zero temperatures and it makes a big difference.

I've bought 4 from e-Bikes Direct and recommended them to several neighbours too. Customer service is excellent which, in my case, has involved Dan measuring the saddle height of a range of bike to find one to accommodate my long legs. I had a problem with one bike and my call was immediately...

If problems started shortly following delivery and were documented, as it appears they were, then additional faults occurred and have been ongoing before and beyond the 6 month period, I would be wanting a replacement bike rather than a string of repairs. The burden of proof is on you to prove...

Is the 500W motor legal in the UK? Otherwise, it looks fun. I have a 20" folder which I use on our country lanes, although not as rugged as the above.

I have an eMate too, 2014'ish model. I am no expert but I would check all the wiring connections incase one is loose, or damp.

I have interchanged 1.95" and 1.75" on my 20" folding bikes with no problems, including my earlier Seago ePower. Schwalbe Marathon are probably also worth a look although not quite as tough as the Plus version. Following multiple finger fractures, my fingers are quite weak and I dread a...

Empathy! I've had a few punctures in my Oxygen Emate and one was recurrent but search as I might, I simply could not find the cause until I gave in and bought Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. At this point with the tyre removed, I could look closely and twist it until I eventually spotted the...

Are these just the names of any emoticons?

Great pics. I know that hill leading down to Southerndown car park. I clattered down it just before lockdown in my campervan with a broken suspension spring - everyone heard me coming. I wouldn't fancy tackling the upward climb on any bike.

Hmmmm... these charts don't work for me. I'm 5'9" with a 34" inside leg. Based on my leg length the charts suggest I need a 22" frame or thereabouts. I had a 21" many years ago but it was too uncomfortable to ride and gave me back problems after every ride. I find a 17" frame perfect but...

Could you buy a cardboard bike box online and ask ebikes direct, in Bodiam, which courier they use?

I have both but I only use my manual bike on relatively flat areas eg canal banks, New Forest, Forest of Dean. The rest of the time, it has to be electric. I live at the top of a 2 mile hill which I've never yet seen anyone cycle up, and I certainly couldn't. I enjoy the electric bikes...
