Hi, I spent a while trying to trace a simlar problem on my motor, yours has lots of insulation which is nice but makes testing difficult. It looks like all your black earth cables go into a single joint with heatshrink over - that might be the easiest place to get your meter probes. I added an...

Hi Ian. I'm no expert but did something similar - see the Dutch bike in my signature. I spent time patching up the original 24V system before upgrading to a new 36V battery with matching rack, new controller & display, brake levers, PAS sensor and a new wheel. I kept only the wiring harness...

Hi Ian, I did something similar with a failing 24v Dutch Town Bike (link in my signature) but ended up fitting a whole new 36v kit I was given (including a new but weak motor), the big difference is the battery range & strength. I'm planning to refit the now repaired 24v wheel at some point so I...

Bumping this thread as the info is still useful but the links have been changed. New link https://jmoore.me/wheelbuilder/rims/list Archived version of the original single-page list (very long) https://web.archive.org/web/20171123171221/http://wheelbuilder.jmoore.me:80/rim/print Hope it helps :)

I just ordered one of these earlier today, it should fit on your seatpost without raising it, think I got the last one but for info ... https://www.bankruptbikeparts.co.uk/bag-amp-pannier-racks/alloy-seat-post-mounted-carrier-luggage-rack-for-suspension-mtb-amp-all-bikes-silver-lc256-ca105...

Is that a Frog battery? I've seen similar mounted vertically on the seatpost - if the clamp is designed to work vertical that could explain why it's loose on your horizontal handlebars. I have tried fitting things on my bars in the past but find it's the worst place to put extra weight. I would...

Not bike specifc but the best software advice is above "If it isn't broke - don't fix it". I've found new problems after doing updates on a variety of electronics including phones, mobiles & tablets, pc's, even TV equipment. If yours is working ok I'd say leave well alone and enjoy your new...

I use Navmii for driving and everything else but it's not ideal for cycling https://www.navmii.com/ Pro's: it's free, simple and reliable, it works offline (download maps to your smartphone then no need for wifi or network coverage), it remembers your last "mode" (walking, driving, etc) Con's...

Local bike shop of Halfrauds etc ... they're normally very heppy to give away bike boxes, if you are lucky you might get one before it has been torn open or squashed for their recycling.

Thanks @Nealh - I've been waiting for replies from a couple of people in UK hoping I can avoid buying from China but no luck (hence my slow replies - apologies !). Cost of new hubs is a more than I was expecting, bare motors are approx Euro 100 + 40 postage, built wheels are £120 + same again...

The police are not doing themselves any favours these days, about 5 years ago (normal bike not electric), I was stopped (5pm on a wet Sunday in February) for cycling at walking pace in a town centre - all shopppers and pedestrians were indoors where it was warm and dry so paths were deserted. I...

Hi, asking here for personal recommendations is sensible, sorry I can't help but please be careful if picking someone off Facebook etc who says they can do a conversion for you. A friend of mine near Bishop Auckland found somebody local to do a conversion for her, paid good money and got an...

Hi, not sure if I'm too late but I'm looking for either a bare rear hub that I can build up myself, or a complete wheel. I asked here, and a Q128 (maybe Q100) was suggested but I'm open to other ideas...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at options to change my 26" kit to 700C/28" and wonder if anyone knows of any suppliers who have sales on now? Any recommendations for a particular hub to look for? rpm? I weigh near 100kg, most use is on B-road and I'd prefer a high cruising speed to high torque. The...

I find it helps to mark a line on the stem so you end up with a straight cut, use a spacer or the handlebar stem and draw around with a marker. Sounds familiar - I've had a couple of VFR400s (NC21 & NC24) as winter rebuild projects but never put them on the road, used an early VFR750 (with...

I got some last year for about £25 from the shop below, they sell surplus stock cheap so their stock often changes, shame I can't see anything cheap but is worth checkling regularly...

Hi Nick, The electricals connections look to be a common style so there should be no problems finding a wheel that will physically fit and connect up to your exisitng electrics. Things to check (hopefully somebody more experinced can comment), do Benelli use standard wiring (or is is standard...

More info https://easifitebikekit.co.uk/product/the-easi-fit-ebike-converter-kit/ Bluetooth controls. The ad shows a controller called BTC02, a quick search finds a demo - looks like you remove the display to charge it (theft?), kit includes display & throttle. No pedal or brake sensors that I...

Duplicate post - best keep all replies on the new thread https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bpm-36v-500w-26-10.40670/ I'm sure someone with more experience than me will answer soon :)

Would a bottle battery fit or a frog type on the seatpost? https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/frog-ebike-battery.39924/#post-593157
