Remember a couple of years ago BMW launched a 20" electric bike on the MINI brand which was sold exclusively through it's BMW dealerships? Well now it seems BMW has decided to move into electric scooters, check out this beast: At 10,000 euros (£8.5k), not cheap! Claimed to be...

Good point, probably all the more reason to source a 2nd hand one then which you know in advance is tried and tested with Speedict... problem is, this technology is so new still and there's not that large a user base out yet. I have HTC Desire so I'm hoping mine works ok, it's an earlier model...

You can get some for under £40 like these: New Design 3.5" Capacitive Screen 2 SIM Unlocked Android 2.3 SP6820 Smart Phone | eBay 2.6 Inch Touch Screen with Keyboard Smart Phone Android 2.2 MTK6516 TV WiFi | eBay This one is £41 delivered...

Bummer :-( I've heard you can buy very cheap unbranded Android tablets/phones on eBay from China, that might be one option if they can't support it...and it's maybe not a bad idea if mounting to bike anyway to avoid damage your prized phone. Speedict are pretty fast and responsive with their...

I'm not sure yet Jack, you probably know much more than I do! I've only looked through the user guide and glanced at the Android app. From what I understand so far, it's more intended to set a power/speed range and sensitivity for your throttle (rather than replace it)..and presumably you can...

I remember seeing some nice water-proof/storm-proof strong nylon bags somewhere a while back I posted which are intended for putting inside your saddle/rack bag...ideal for protecting your battery/controller and any at risk connectors etc.. they came in a variety of sizes and were only cheap...

Yes indeed, the chain always seem to give me problems with the fold as I always forget to get it in the middle of cassette (or freewheel now) or it's not lined up properly..and then it either comes off, or just gets in the way! I'll have to figure out which gear is optimal as you say and just...

Great job cpg, thanks ever so much for taking the time to do that. I will practice from your guide and master it ;-)

E-bike + E-cig = definitely the way :D

Woah he made that look so easy! I need to get some tyre levers, won't chance using table knifes or anything like that again on small wheels.

Good timing Alex indeed, and good luck with your project, it looks to be progressing along nicely! I wish I could say the same about mine :) Oh well, with a bit of luck, new inner and tyre should have me up and running again.. Are you going to fit a Speedict to your set-up or not bother? I'm...

Heh, I'm sure Lyn's not that bad and I think in my case the doctors and hospital overreacted a bit, I was out in 2-3 days and had no treatment...but still.. not pleasant chest infection and not being able to do much laid up in bed.. or maybe she's snug as a bug in a rug, watching TV and films :)

Sometimes the speed limiter is simply a matter of connecting (or disconnecting) one wire loop coming from the controller. I guess it depends what controller that bike uses..but it may be a trivial matter for you to de-restrict it, worth checking. The company may volunteer that info if you say...

Very neat job! You have the exact same charger and battery as me :D Is that a 10ah? How long you had your battery now? I've had mine at least a year I think and it's still as strong as the day as I bought it!

I agree with Old Dave, better safe than sorry.. the live side should be female to cover all bases.. what if you forget else and short it, or your fingers touch it? unless you plan to have an in-line power switch/fuse or something.. Interesting thread anyway Alex and great pics.. I'm about to...

That's good to know and I'm sure you're right.. this is all new territory for me, little bikes :D I love it though, totally different experience to big road bikes eh. It was a breeze carrying that little bike down 2 flights of stairs y'day instead of struggling with my bike 26". I suspect that...

Cheers Shemozzle.

Funkylyn is laid up with a nasty chest infection and has taken to her bed. I hope if you're reading this Lyn you're feeling a bit better and on the mend! Maybe you should give up those ciggies eh ;-) When I used to smoke I had a terrible infection once and too much coughing caused a collapsed...
