I was assuming on a charger to battery lead it would be DC not AC ?

Be very careful as on my German caravan Blue is positive and brown is negative! So, either check with a meter or wait till someone with more definitive knowledge is here to advise.

I fit an Agguta step-through plus my 700 wheeled hybrid in the rear of our Discovery 4, but secured via home made front fork clamps on a heavy plywood spreader. A rock steady option and configured to "nest" the bars taking up surprisingly little room allowing two of the three second row seats to...

Systematically work through the fuses on the fuse panel using this invaluable little current tester, to find the one(s) carrying the parasitic drain current. http://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/ten01046/current-tester-automotive-std/dp/IN04874 The pulled fuse tucks in the probe flank to carry on its...

I believe it makes sense, very important sense in that by the shear fact you say the lock was "faulty", allowing the battery to fall and be damaged, that is simply another aspect where it is "not fit for purpose"?

Why is it believed the torque on a hub drive will be greater than on a crank drive; the same torque is needed for the bike to have the same performance. [given same size wheels masses etc] If hub drive spokes fail more frequently my suspicions would be it is that the spokes here are shorter so...

The various roof rack accessories that feature front fork clamping, don't require the stabilising bar. They slightly reduce the lift height. They need "quick release" spindles though if not there these can usually be retro fitted and adaptors are available if say 15 mm spindles are fitted...

Maxxraxx have an option that enables both towing a caravan and mounting a bike rack on the towbar. You will need to talk to them with specific vehicle details as they have various solutions. https://maxxraxx.co.uk/ The thought of roof carrying most e-bikes is too much for me to cope with...

Hop Back's Summer Lighting on tap and Old Speckled Hen in the 500ml cans as an at home drink. I seem to have this affinity to 5%, not good for being on the road car or bike. If it is Wetherspoons it needs to be Abbot.

I would endorse what is said in regard to her making the choice, this IMO is not an area for surprise birthday presents, she must be involved or things will backfire. Just put a handmade "I will buy you an e-bike voucher" in her card, far safer.

But does the pain not simply move to your wallet? ;)

Not sure the "will help" is right as the point of concern with this thread's discussion is the reliability of the motors, not something addressed in the link. Even with alternative motor builders we are now hearing elsewhere on this forum that some others are proving "disappointing". Can I ask...

Loads applied to all "rolling element" bearings both when static or dynamic can do damage, so-called "brinelling". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinelling I have no idea if this is the issue with these motors but it is very evident simply by inspecting the trackway normally seen first on the...

Is there an idiots guide to showing what software version is running?

Thanks, Joe very reassuring and aligns with the company ethos implied during buying in Shoreham, and that painted by an acquaintance that recommended your company, despite or because of needing support with a failed motor.

No, the legal claim under CRA 2015, as was the case under the earlier SOGA, is/was uniquely with the actual "seller" involved in the purchase whether they are local or not. But, I agree the main distributor and maker should ethically pick up and run with giving the same support where the seller...

That simply is not how the CRA 2015 works for sales affected, i.e. those from 1/10/2015. If the advice I received is correct then even misleading customers with a statement like that will move them into really serious criminal offence territory, denying Consumer Rights. Unless 50 Cycles he...

The more so for the dealers here in the UK with the powerful provisions of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which will be my recourse if ever need with my wifes' bike. The "evidence" available here and elsewhere on-line I would think should be quite convincing that the motors have an inherent...

The weight of the individual e-bikes is going to challenge many normal carriers, but this rack from Thule is aimed at sub 30 kgs e-bikes. https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/bike-rack/towbar-bike-racks/thule-velospace-_-918000 I use another model with my conventional bikes and really like it, but...

Whilst not meeting your hub motor requirement I know, I have measured my wife's Kalkhoff Agattu 8 speed which was the smallest frame and specified with the smaller 26" wheel option. My wife has her own disability challenges. The step over measures 240mm [one foot three and three quarter inches]...
