Here is the new Li-on pack , it looks nicer than the SLA batteries , and at 12 kilo lighter than the SLA batteries , it makes a difference to moving the trike in the workshop . maybe later in the year I can fit a second one on the other side to increase the range to 35 miles new batteries

Look forward to that Kirstin , I often do the Portslade to Shoreham beach ride as mum lives in Portslade .

Hi Folks Since the original build I have fitted the Li-On battery to the trike it is now 12 kg lighter with 30% more capacity , but the top speed appears to be slightly lower than it was , Oh well you can't have everything , The second E-trike is also finished and running well both e-trikes on...

Even with 504 WH of Lithium capacity I still have to row the trike home some days , that extra 1/2 an amp would be the last straw that breaks the camels back , Just because it works for you does not mean it works for others . You HIT THE NAIL right on the head there " properly adjusted " I...

Personally , I would use a Radio control electric plane 3 s 1800 mah lipo and its correct charger rather than link to the main battery , This would give a 12 v ( 11.1 v ) supply and would power the lights for quite a while . A 2s pack is 7.8 volts , The main reason for using a separate...

Personally I would say "Dont put the batteries on a rear rack "whether you ride sanely or not , I was thrown off doing a U -turn in the road with batteries on top of the rack ( OK they were big batteries but it does make a trike unstable ) Keep every thing where possible well inside the...

The leaner meaner lower cleaner faster greener E-Trike

Carrying two trikes is FUN either one on the roof , One inside the estate car or sometimes one on the trailer , depends on where we are going and what else we need to take . trailer

Just a query here I didnt realise you could get a e-hub with 9 speed cassette to fit a 135 mm dropout ?

Forgot to mention mine are deep cycle wheel chair batteries ( 4 x 40 ah ) 12x 160 ah = 1920 wh /2 ( 50% ) still gives 960 wh or just under 1 KWh I think I am safe

I got a pair of 20x1.5 marathon tyres for the trike , Didn't notice anything when I fitted them and ran them for a week . Then I got a puncture , when I checked the tyre one of the wires had not been bonded into the bead , close inspection showed the wire had never been moulded into it , I...

Been running a laptop and tv on a 500w Msw inverter for a couple of years now without a hitch in the caravan . We are using a 12v 80 ah battery as a dump for the 120 watt solar panel . At home we have 140 watts of solar panels dumped into 160 ah of battery and using 2 off 300 watt MSW...

There are a couple of other characters that did not and do not photogragh well as they are in outline I have tried again to catch the light to capture their image Thanks for the input so far emma

Thanks for the input so far The only other marking on the wheel is an 11 character alpha numeric string that starts with EB and ends with a H all the rest are numbers I know it is either 24v or possibly 36 volt and came from a reasonably common e-bike manufacturer , I was told it has...

Hi Folks I got this hub from ebay about 7 or 8 months ago and built it into a wheel can anyone give me any more information on it , It is a new brushed motor ( 2 wires , it works with 12 v applied across the motor ) It has a built in motor freewheel , what voltage will it run at ? with...

All your questions ( of a just joined ) have the questions and answers already listed in the forum can I suggest a look through the forum will give you the answers you seek regards emma

The LAW states that 250 watt is the maximum ( because we are in Europe ) UK states 200 watts for a bike and 15.5 mph , cutoff , over that and the bike is ILLEGAL to be used on the road. There are also other British Standards that an e-bike should comply with including braking distance using...

It was all in the ebay listing , I can't remember but I think it was about 90 days . I got a 48v 500watt for the first e-Trike BUT only because I had a blank canvas to start with .:D Being a Direct drive , non geared motor it does incur a penalty when you are not using assist . ( you will...

I got an e-bike kit from ger*****den on ebay under £200 , IMHO and from my own experience , problems encountered were build quality ( washers fitted incorrectly rubbed on the 6 speed block causing lock up , rim was not very true and needed trueing up , in use the hub whines at speeds over...
