    Disappointed with a Pendleton e-bike

    One advantage of modern life is the amazon no quible returns policy, This enabled me to buy the wrong spoke size way too many times and simply correct my order and returb the wrong spokes..

    Cabling / wiring / one-to-three connections

    I learnt of the existence of marine grade heat shrink after visiting this site, it has a hot glue element so use when sure its the last time, as its much harder to remove ;) afaik julet and higo are 2 different but similar looking systems

    Hello, new to forum.

    Er My understanding is the sticker that manufacturers should place on bikes is a separate requirement from the motor rating and its stamp, and its listing of the motor rating is coincidental. NO conversions have a legit sticker, since no conversion is the direct result of manufacturing so no...

    What battery? (to replace swytch)

    Er. yeah, not an ad i would pursue, the capacity claims are BS, and no mention of the discharge current limit that i could see on the page at all. a less than 1.5kg battery with 120AH capacity is way too good to be true, 13-15AH perhaps if built with real quality branded cells, and probably...

    What battery? (to replace swytch)

    120AH ?? that's an order of magnitude higher than expected? a typo or dodgy claim? a photo of the battery label and or link to the ad may illuminate?

    Bafang brake sensor bypass

    You might find the brake motor cut off advantageous in a number of situations, Im often slowly pedalling around obstacles and often people on the many local shared path/tracks when just cracking the brake lever to disengage the pedal assist is a great help as otherwise it would require turning...

    Traffic noise while riding.

    Yeah but @Bikes4two while you make a valid point, SHHHH!!!!!! Think about the possible conclusions if you make a big noise and garner support,, the inevitable ban on playing any media when in control of any vehicle.. And think of the impact on a summers day parked on the m25 with the whole...

    Hello, new to forum.

    imho criteria for a good donor for an ebike project is 1) Its well equiped with good brakes, 15 mph is pretty fast and the brakes NEED to be able to stop you. 2) Comfort is crucial, you will spend more time in the saddle significantly less need if not none whatsoever to stand up to pedal with...

    Hello, new to forum.

    48v systems are legal, and just have the capacity to feed more power to a motor. As long as the motor is rated at 250w it can be powered by a 24v system a 36v system or a 48v system. Thing is the higher the voltage level the more potential the system has to power the motor when needed.. 48v...

    swifty e bike

    Whats the battery output voltage following a full charge? and have you doublechecked everything is pluged in fully (If unasked it will be the issue..) I dont know your bike, but google led me to this amazon ad.. Try looking for any identification/model numbers etc on the led display and use...

    Looking for replacement battery coyote edge 24v 8fun

    Hi Batteries and their cradles/bases/slides are generally a package and come in a bundle as one. And its the number of connections/wires that leave the battery assembly and connect to the bikes control system that are important. In the best case scenario its just a thick red and black wire...

    E-bike journeys and pictures around the South Tyne Valley

    best weatherproofing going when well maintained, I must have spent £1000's over the years on waterproof gear for 2 wheel transport, everything finally leaked at the seams, but when waxed it can be remedied with a spare 1/2 hour..

    Help! Swifty ebike

    Spark arrest connectors and circuits are a thing from the rc-lipo world ;) I also have a battery that sparks on connection with no capacity to fit a simple isolation switch (i gave it a fairly good try..) These spark arrest circuits are on my 'to look up list' sorry i cant offer a full...

    Controller amps specifications

    When looking at controllers its the peak power rating thats quoted like hifi speakers in the 80's ;) Its that and the battery voltage that dictate the maximum power the motor can draw. The other crucial metric to be aware of is the maximum draw of the battery used this must be in excess of...

    Stripping dapu geared hub motor

    The diameter and pitch of the thread pose a significant resistance to tapping with a hammer and you may not be able to deliver a significant enough blow without deforming the head since you concentrating the impact with a blunt chisel.. . What i know as a 'Crank Spanner' or sold as a 'universal...
