    That battery sound very technical. For me anyhow. I presume you made the battery yourself, as I do like the stealth look.

    Looks good and subtle. Is the battery in the rear seat bag? What battery have you used?

    Ok thanks. I will order the eBay one as it only for testing. Just got to decide on the battery now. 48v Q128H motor 17a controller. Would prefer not a physically too big battery, but a smaller one won’t have the power! I do like the idea of a rack one but think the balance of the bike will be...

    Will the one listed above do the job? Do they have the 3 wires as per the throttle or need a special connector. I won’t bother ordering one from China !

    Carrera E replacement.

    Just a thought whilst I am waiting for the end of Chinese new year! They are still listed as 'packing' as we are into week 2 from order... The thought is, will I be able to test the kit without a thumb throttle? I do not want a throttle on the finished kit, PAS only, but think it may have been...

    You are right, BMS and PSW Power have had my orders a week now and still only at the 'packing' stage. New Year getting in the way !

    I do like the look of that, from what I can see. What size bottle did it all fit into. That is my preferred controller hiding place too.

    Sounds good, I may give them a try.

    Carrera E replacement.

    That’s really useful thanks. I think I will go for them all the same size at 242mm. I’m not adverse to a bit of thread showing...

    Carrera E replacement.

    Great thanks for that. I haven't ordered yet but will order 36 spokes tomw at 244mm, or should I go 18 at 244 and 18 at 242?

    I tried another and got very similar result. I think I will go for a 238mm spoke unless I am doing something wrong??

    Carrera E replacement.

    My rim has an E R D of 607mm. As the Q128C motor isn’t here yet would anyone know how to workout what size spokes I would need so I can get some delivered for when the motor arrives? This is my attempt but not confident!

    They do look better. Cleaner look for a disc brake bike. How was the quality of the finish?

    They look like different rims to the previous picture?

    Yes, they have been 'quality checking' it now for 4 days !

    Carrera E replacement.

    Thanks. As the Q128C is not a large motor, I don't suppose that matters too much. Do you know the approx delivery times on the PSW power and the BMS orders?

    Thats good. The same seller also does a rim specifically for electric bikes.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/700c-622x19-E-BIKE-RIM-RODI-WEB-ELECTRIC-CYCLE-DEEP-SECTION-DISC-BRAKE-BLACK/391502410954?hash=item5b275cb4ca:m:moj5gg5azKvNxKFlE6BbG5g Something about the recess for the spokes ! Is it...

    Thanks Dave. What do you think to the 'deep dish' one above as it is nearby for collection? Do either seem better to you?

    Carrera E replacement.

    Found this one, which is all black, schrader valve, double wall. It is 'deep dish', is that good? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-BIKE-RIM-RODI-AIRLINE-PLUS-700c-622x19-DEEP-SECTION-WHEEL-RIM-36-SPOKE/202144234465?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=502132974936&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

    Thanks, looks favourite but just don’t like Presta valves. Good old car valves for me every time! Guess I’ll have to make do with a valve adapter..
