Brake sensor question Also does anyone have any idea how those brake sensors work? I'm assuming you clip the brake brake cable into it, and some kind of switch or movement sensor inside will detect when the brake cable moves? Or does it require the brake cable actually being removed and feeding...

Thanks, I guessed right then :) I was about to order but thought I'd check first with you knowledgeable guys, I'm glad I did!

Anodising motor? Catsnapper suggested anodising the motor would be the best way to get a black motor as I would prefer black to silver..my entire bike is anodised so it would blend in better. Does anyone know any places that would do something like that and is it likely to be expensive or...

Thanks Dave I will take a look. Looks like this one? KU93 9Mosfets 450W High Speed Brushless Hub Motor Controller - $18.90

I also want to get this: Hidden Brake Wire Sensor - $5.90 For motor safety cut-out when braking. And I plan to get a speedict (£63):

Ok I've decided to order from BMS Battery rather than Green Bike Kit as they have the proper thumb throttle and Green Bike Kit don't unfortunately... Here's what I think I need: Q100 36V 250W-350W Rear Driving V-brake Hub Motor (328 RM) - $79 KU63 250W 6Mosfets High Speed...

Good article alfie! Maybe I'll do something similar for Mezzo owners. Btw, I think the white frame bike with the black seat post and handlebar stem/handlebar looks very cool and modern.. I really wanted a bike like that initially.

I've just took my first night ride on the Mezzo! I had a package to post and being able to scoop up the Mezzo in one hand and get down the stairs without busting a gut makes a refreshing change :D I was ok riding on the flat it was very fast and nippy, I was enjoying so much I decided to go a...

I can see Kitchenman coming up with some clever idea to prevent motorists getting too close.. I imagine it would be like some coke bottles on rods extending two feet either side of his rack with some flags on them or a little sign that reads "if you can read this, you're too f'kin close"

The bike has a 9-speed cassette and no problem with the spacing.. I measured it on my first thread about this conversion and it looked to me to be 140mm... Cwah claimed it was 135mm though..

The Mezzo is like a "sausage dog" bike with the level main frame tube and lack of any folding mechanism giving it a long feel to it.. it feels lower down compared to the JetStream when mounting, yet high up when riding compared to what you would expect from a 16" wheel bike (almost feels like a...

Does anyone have a bike which is not electric which they get a kick out of riding, and would never consider converting? The type of bike which is just a joy to ride and feels so comfortable?

I thought I'd mention here for anyone interested in converting a Mezzo, the general consensus from people I've consulted seems to be that a front wheel conversion is not possible on this bike, not unless you never want to fold it! And even then, Catsnapper thinks it will require torque arms...

Woah. That explains why my 26" MTB is so highly geared I think..because it was originally 21-speed with 3 chainwheels...I removed the left hand (forward) shift and front derailleur and slipped the chain onto the largest chainwheel and smallest freewheel at the back. Now the 1-7 gear shift no...

I have ridden both, but not much :) The Mezzo feels like a better bike and ride to me without any doubt. The only thing I can say positive about the JetStream is that going down curbs and over bumps is not very noticeable. My poll though was purely on design aesthetics though and which design...

Hi all, As some of you may know, I'm in the process of planning the conversion of my Mezzo D9 16" folder with the help of Catsnapper. The Mezzo has 9 speed gears which for me offer the perfect gear range.. I was hoping that I could retain the existing gears have the wheel re-spoked, but...

Which do you think is the better designed and looking bike?:D

New Dahon JetStream P8 Photos 2/2 Few more...

New Dahon JetStream P8 Photos 1/2 While the weather was nice I decided to take some better pics of the Dahon JetStream too after taking it for a second test ride..

New Mezzo D9 Photos 2/2 A a few more: These came out a lot better with my Canon IXUS 40..it pays to use a proper camera rather than a Smartphone camera..right tool for the right job ;-) Catsnapper has kindly agreed to build me a wheel so I'm ordering my kit from Green Bike Kit today...
