    Subway 2.0 Ebike upgrade - Battery mounts

    Yikes! not what you wanted to find under the old holder.. grinding it down would be my last option tho, where abouts on the new slide is it obstructing, while a clear pic of the 'nub' its not clear where on the tube its sitting..

    New to electric bikes - advice

    Indeed the brake lever motor cut off is an instant OFF for the motor while there is a delay between stopping pedaling and the motor cutting off. Also negotiating obstacles in the rd can sometimes benefit from cutting the power momentarily while you snake past obstructions where power from the...

    New to electric bikes - advice

    In addition to the controller/display you will also want a pas cadence sensor, and probably at least one brake sensor, to kill the motor when brakes are applied. an additional wiring loom to extend controller connections to the handlebars may also be required. some pas sensors can require the...

    Problem with the window looking out at my ebike ;)

    Cheers @lenny on reflection it was the bathroom window locking/latching mechanism which also needed complete replacement due to rust that was the tricky element to source last time round, i recall the hassle and not the detail so much ;). What threw me with this job was the multiple...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Thanks.. I looked into it a Long time ago, my roof /house faces almost dead east and was initially advised only the south facing slope of the roof was suitable for panels. As any panels on the east or west facing slopes would only work in the morning or afternoon?? Thus at the time the benefit...

    Head and tail lights kit.

    Yes BUT you need to be mindful of the current limit of the transistor switching the light circuit on and off. If you attempt to draw more current than the transistor can handle you risk blowing it and any knock-on or side effects that may have on the controllers performance. Its a lot safer...

    Faulty battery ?

    Investigation will probably require you to start by checking the voltage of the batteries cells which would void any warranties outstanding, so if still under warranty i would request advice from the supplier to start with..

After searching for strong plastic fillers, and getting past the modeling clays, i found JB-Weld Plastic Putty, cures in 20 mins once mixed which was a concern with standard jb weld with its 24hour cure period. superglue+baking powder...

    Problem with the window looking out at my ebike ;)

    Cheers, I have watched a few youtubes.. the problem is the frames have 2 sets of hinge screw holes already?? bad 1st fit?? and the usual technique of fitting to the corner edge requires new holes/screw positions that will result in zero support/holding capacity without repair of the upvc or...

    What's the answer?

    what happens if your feet slip off the pedals at speed with a bafang bbs mid drive motor? I get winded just at the thought of all that high speed pedaling even if only nominal input is required.. Since my bike is no lightweight and neither am I on the flat the added mass of motor and battery...

    Problem with the window looking out at my ebike ;)

    Nothing to do with e-bikes, sorry.. so if mods decide to wipe this- cest la vie.. Im stuck replacing the hinges in some upvc windows that no longer open/close easily. The new hinges on the 1st window attacked need fixing in new screw holes right next to the current holes - so close that if...

    Evora folding bike

    Perhaps dont give up? I can get you started on determining the 5v and ground connections in the plugs.. you just need a multimeter (£10 ebay/amazon) and some short lengths of thin stiff wire to probe the female socket pole holes.. for test wires i found the snipped legs of electrical...
