    E-bike seizures surge as police take 'death traps' off the streets

    I'm pretty sure that the police have been told to keep away from ebikes, where possible. In the publicised seizures, they seized mostly bikes with mechanical defects, like defective brakes. The problem now is the risk to life by the bikes catching fire, which is putting pressure on authorities...

    Converting Carrera Subway 2

    The only thing you have to watch out for is that you have enough meat on the derailleur hanger. Some are already a bit close at the top, but most are OK.

    New to e-bikes-looking for advice

    Woosh TSDZ8 kit is £385. You can get a decent battery from Greenlance or Yosepower for about £250. If you want/need a rack battery, your choice is a bit more limited. Woosh do the complete kit with a rack battery for £740. Most of the ready-made bikes in that price range have hub-motors, which...

    E-bike seizures surge as police take 'death traps' off the streets

    Yes we do. I've seen videos of them doing it. One bike was totally illegal and had an independent throttle, but when the policeman operated the throttle with the wheel in the air, the motor cut at 15 mph, so he let it go.

    If you already have a bike that you're happy with, you can fit a crank motor kit from Woosh. It's not difficult and easily done in an afternoon. Are you any good at DIY? If not, who's going to fix and service your new bike?

    Converting Carrera Subway 2

    Good question. It's the opposite. A motor axle is 12mm diameter with 10mm flats. The original axle would be 9mm (Q/R) or 10mm (cheapo bolt on). The increase in diameter not only pushes the centr down a bit, but it also stops the axle going fully home. the end result is that the centre of the...

    E-bike seizures surge as police take 'death traps' off the streets

    That's what I've seen them do, but you have a good defence against it. First of all, the LCD isn't calibrated and might be set completely wrong. Secondly, whith the wheel off the ground, the response time of the controller isn't quick enough to cut the motor at whatever you set it to, so it's...

    £245 Argos Folder Improvements - complete story

    Remove the adapter and look underneath it. Hopefully, it'll have the size written on it. Mine do. I've just checked mine. both discs are 160mm. The front adapter says F-160, meaning front 160mm. It lines up perfectly. The back one says 180F 140R and is too high. I think you get the same sizes...

    How do u install an external speed sensor on a carrera subway ebike

    Red wire goes to any 5v. black wire goes to any ground and the other wire goes to the speed sensor signal wire on the controller. TI can't remember if any Subways had the Bafang motor and standard Chines stuff. I don't think they did, but you need to say if that's what you have instead of the...

    £245 Argos Folder Improvements - complete story

    I've finished my story, so you can post whatever you like, but your post is about improvements to the bike, so is on topic anyway. I got a bit annoyed in the other thread because people started adding pages of irrelevant drivel when I was only halfway through, which makes it really tedious for...

    Do You Service Your Motor?

    I never had to. Mine has been running for 10 years and about 10,000 miles . I had some Xiongda 2-spped motors that needed greasing immediately, but they're a bit special. I've had to service other people's motors that had let in water, mainly because the wheel was put in upside down, and a...

    £245 Argos Folder Improvements - complete story

    You should get the next size down caliper adapter too. The one that comes with them is the same size as the OEM one, which is too high. It will also give you the chance to use the alignment washers for perfect alignment.

    LCD DISPLAY 866 + Brainpower Controller no performance / Failure E07

    Error 07 normally comes when there is a motor connection issue or hall sensor fault. If it only works during self-learning and low power, then one of the connections isn't in properly. Make sure that the motor's 9-pin connector is in all the way to the line, not just in tight, and check that the...

    E-bike seizures surge as police take 'death traps' off the streets

    There are no rules about how to rate a motor's power, except that you mustn't overrate it, and there's a test for that. A manufacturer can underrate a motor as much as they want. They can even supply different versions to different markets. From our point of view, the only thing that matters...

    Who's following the P Diddy diddler case? Did Diddy diddle or did 'e not? Apparently, Jay-Z has just been arrested in connection with it. The plot thickens. You would never guess who his cell-mate is. I told you you wouldn't guess because it's too much of a coincidence. It's Sam Bankman-Fried...
