Lol unlike my first build - an unassisted recumbent - this one is a breeze to ride :D Don't think it was cheaper than their Amazon shop at the time for me but if it is the case then yes deffo order direct!

Hiya Lee & thanks for the compliment :) I found PSW fine although I have not had any Comms with them due to not having any issues with the kit - there is lots of info online re installation & setting up. Ordered the kit & battery on Amazon and was quoted delivery round about now. As is obvious...

Interesting. Think my charger is 3 wire tho. Do you have a link?

16.5hrs...wow that is some going!

Makes sense, thank you :)

If I had to fuel a 5l Range Rover I would be a sobbing mess! :D

My car has a charge setting where it will shut off at 80% to protect the battery if it is not going to be used straightaway. Could a charger not be modified to switch off at a lower state of charge?

That's unusual in being geared on the low side! We have had three hub geared bicycles over the years and all three were geared too high for where we live (hilly) Like you we replaced the sprockets. There is a handy calculator on Sheldon Browns website. We sized ours to drop the gearing one...

Have you not considered the void behind the seat tube? Have a look at how Tern mount their batteries. I suspect you may have enough room back there...and if your friend has a 3d printer even better.

Yay 1st battery charge time! Woohoo it's done! by Isla..., on Flickr This afternoon I rode to the Woodhead tunnels and back with a friend. Arriving home, the battery capacity on the display was down to 1 bar, time then for a recharge. So, fresh out of the box the battery had completed 57...

Am declaring my lockdown project done! Put 15ish miles on her today with no issues, so finished the last few jobs off. Am pretty happy with it overall. There are a few characteristics of the motor that I would like to change such as the speed at which it reapplies the power after riding beyond...

Yes, if you mainly use the luggage space and don't want to faff with trailers! @peddlin_pedro Have ridden a Yuba Mundo 2nd generation and that was really good - can recommend taking a look at one of those.

The reality through my eyes is that we have the most inept & disconnected government of recent history. The really sad thing is that there have been two general elections where through a media storm of right wing propaganda & complete bullshit we have just sleepwalked to where we are now, where...

The Empowered People blog is a good read & it gets a mention ⅓ of the way down this post. And here's the Wiki on it. May do this with mine once I have gotten a good feel of the motor with the stock firmware if there is room for improvement. All I have ever read of the open source firmware is...

Ooh forgot to add, how has the speed sensor magnet faired after the mileage covered? Am not impressed with the security of mine to the spoke at all. Considering assembling it with epoxy once it's final position has been settled upon.

That's all interesting to know. Am hopefully going to put some shakedown mileage on mine this weekend and what you have said re gear changing early makes sense, if not confirming my regret for not going for a Nexus gearhub. Am really stoked by the range you have achieved and will be interested...

I see the web address on the seat stay is now no longer active. Google came up with a supplier though so it may be worth asking them??? https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/brands/3e/3e-citylight-mark-ii-electric-bike

Does this make me a proper Pedalecer now instead of a pretend one? :D

My pedals arrived eventually this afternoon so I had a quick test ride - in work on nightshifts so it was only a bimble around the block but am happy to say the kit works well enough! Will tidy the cables up over the weekend and give her a better shakedown. Am happy with where the battery is...

Bl***y Nora's!
