A call for more CycleCharge volunteers... CycleCharge Representatives: Do you like travelling around, exploring new places? Are you good with people? Could you speak to business owners and persuade them of the benefits of becoming Charge Points? Or perhaps you would just like to hand out some...

Hi Daniel, I ran into some hiccups and technical probs with the new website, which has severely delayed the launch unfortunately. To make matters worse, the old server which hosted the existing website died (both master and backup disks!) so the old site has been off-line. I had a chat with...

No worries, I welcome the questions! The rectangle batteries are what you might call a budget battery, they're supposed to contain Samsung 2600 cells, but I'm skeptical and we haven't had cause to take any apart yet to examine them to verify this. These are made from a factory in China that...

They're 24v and 36v. They were mislabelled intentionally by the Chinese in an attempt to pass them off as wheel-chair batteries which get preferential tax treatment I think (I didn't ask the Chinese to do it, it was their own initiative) it didn't work however, I get taxed on them, so clearly...

Thanks!

The bottle battery: Here are some other pictures of the batteries and kits. 24v10Ah and 36v10Ah budget Lithium-Ion batteries with chargers, custom-made for CycleCharge. 2kg hub Motor Kit, rear drive with controller and LCD console. Close up of LCD fitted to handlebar LCD shown with...

Hi all, I'm about to place an order with a reliable factory in China for some e-bike batteries we work with that also supplies e-bike motors, and full conversion kits. CycleCharge is now expanding the Charge Point project into manufacturing and providing affordable e-bike batteries. If anyone...

Working on CycleCharge - restoring the old website and transistion to the new one.

Hi Arrow, sorry delay, mainly down to the website relaunch taking longer than expected and different membership card approach with QR codes.

Using Lithium-Ion battery cells, the standard is 10Ah in 36V or 24V, but can do smaller or larger capacity easily on request. We can also do different shapes. They are very light, but I'm looking for a suitable ABS plastic housing to offer a bit more protection against dropping and rain. I'm...

'Top-up charging'... never let yourself run completely dry ;-) For those who have, find your nearest library/cybercafe CP and loose yourself in a book or go online/watch a movie :p

Cheers Kristin, think you're right, but my memory is not good these days for names, I'm getting old I think! If anyone else has repaired batteries though, or is capable and has a few hours to spare (or maybe a lot?) please do get in touch. You can earn some money, and do some good for the...

Currently working on the newly updated CycleCharge 3.0 re-launch, while doing some housekeeping and clearing out the warehouse.

NEWSFLASH I'm currently engineering a rear red brake light and amber indicator lights for the eMezzo which is one unit the exact width of the Mezzo rack and same colour as luck would have it, so it fits neatly to the end of the rear rack. I sourced them in China, but like many things, the...

I have just one, and it's been used, but is in a good condition mechanically (for about 15 months) and has plenty of life in it. I fitted this to my first Mezzo 16" folding bicycle. It was the first ever conversion of a Mezzo (anywhere in the world) so it's something of an historic kit! The...

In the past, a very kind member repaired one of my own e-bike batteries and I got another 5-8 months usage out of something I was prepared to throw into landfill (I can't remember his name, but I'm trying to locate it from e-mails we exchanged, so if you remember me, do it in contact!). That...

Hi Lorriane, not sure if you're aware, but I can supply cheap new batteries for almost any e-bike under the CycleCharge brand at the fraction of the cost of other brands often, as the batteries are being subsidised and offered on a not-for-profit basis. They also have the advantage of being very...

Further discussion on the conversion of the Mezzo's for those interested.. It goes without saying, a rear wheel conversion is the logical and easiest way with this bike due to the front-wheel QR drop-out. Conversion is not that different to converting any other bicycle, but due to the Mezzo's...

I have noticed an unusual feature on the LCD consoles of the kit I'm using which I've been playing with. It lets you set the maximum speed in mph for EACH of the 1-5 PAS level's. It even allows you to set the speed well above the 15mph limit (I went up to 40mph on the LCD and it was still...
