Been using Tektro hydraulic brakes for years on my ebikes, no complaints from me, I have found them reliable and good stopping power, just make sure you use decent sintered/semi metal disc pads. I have a very steep long hill on my commute on the way home with a road junction at the bottom with...

Thanks all. Had the battery on charge for 8 hrs today, my energy monitoring smart plug tells me it took 0.2kwh during that time, so about half of the original capacity it would seem is now usable. Will try a few discharge and recharge cycles to see if it improves Cheers

Well yes, those were my 2 choices yesterday, and as I didn't think it was worthwhile trying to fix even if I had the expertise, spot welder and replacement cells/bms for an old low capacity battery it was gonna be dropped off at the tip today, but today it would seem I now have a third choice in...

So just got back from a 45 min ride (dodged the showers) and started off on lower level assist at about 100w. After 10 mins Increased it to about 150w assist. I could see that.under.load the voltage reading would sag by 2-3v and then recover when freewheeling. When I increased assistance to 200w...

Voltage down to 41.3 when powered on this morning, so 0.5v drop compared to when hot off the charger. I always see a difference of about 0.2 or 0.3v I think on any of my batteries when just off the charger and a day or so later, Im guessing this is normal ? When the weather improves will head...

Hi all Thanks very much for all of the suggestions, I think @Tony1951 you are most likely bang on the money with your explanation, I think I have the same issue as you did. I've had the battery on 'charge' as explained earlier for most of the day, it now reads 41.8v hot off the charger, I'll...

Hi all, I have a 5 year old 36v 10ah Hailong battery (Yosepower LG M1 cells) that I very rarely use now I have higher capacity batteries. I top up the charge on it every couple of months as I do for all batteries if not used often. The last time I used it on the bike a few months ago it was...

Good to hear the lid did it's job. You might want to consider replacing the helmet now, it'll not protect you in the same area of the helmet if the structure has been compressed as a result of the impact on the helmet

My BBS01 250w 36v mid drive is rated at 85nm (set @15a 36v) and my Crossfire-e HESC rear hub motor (250w 36v) is rated at 50nm My real world experience, my mid-drive pisses all over the my hub drive bike on any hill and especially off road, the difference is like night and day, the mid drive...

You could ask the seller, Merlin Cycles ?

Trailer lovers look in, £48 after discount code FLASHSALES25 added https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364676856033?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZUxGuYJRTRm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Dst78JQnToG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Might get tasty, better go tooled up. Anyone got an spare old rusty mangled up chain to swing about if it kicks off ?

Something fishy about this all, just doesn't add up... couldn't change to lower gear couldn't air pedal couldn't fix chain with chain breaker tool & quicklink (forfeiting a few mangled links and running shorter chain on smaller cog) couldn't quickly reprogram display for throttle and then...

Ah well, £24 for a new chain, can't complain, you've probably saved that and some by not buying any chain oil, grease or muc-off for the last 20 years lol

Result, great price !

Looks like Planet X are dipping back into the ebike market again with 3 new bikes Interesting cargo bike with a 48v 110Nm mid drive and dual 500w batteries. Not cheap at £3k but potential to use cycle2work schemes so would save about a third doing that...

Maybe you can get an adapter https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386477427234?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=AW6oM1zxRAW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Dst78JQnToG&var=653902815924&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
