Marathon Plus tyres are the ones you want, they are available in 26 x 1.75 at a very good price here.

I'm with Nick, it shouldn't be a problem. I do it with a laptop all the time. (Although I wouldn't reccomend doing all the time;) )

I tried a bit of tweaking and found that of the pots does change the output voltage, but not to much higher than the nominal setting. The NiMh charger is a totally different design, not simply a tweaked Li-ion charger and it's primary method of detecting a full charge is by looking for the rapid...

Tony, the device used in the throttle is a hall effect sensor which gives a voltage output proportional to the magnetic field from the magnet located in the rotating grip. Such devices typically have a voltage output range from about 10% to 90% of their supply voltage when subjected to a...

A nice idea but anyone who has tried will tell you it's virtually impossible without damaging anything. The narrow door entering into a narrow gangway, usually with fitted furniture up to ceiling height makes it very difficult to load a full size bike.

I would prefer a heavy bike on a rear rack rather than the roof. Roof racks are OK for lightweight unpowered bikes but 26 Kg with a high centre of gravity doesn't sound like a good idea (especially when it comes to lifting it up there!) Towbar mounted racks are available that slot in to a...

I agree Frank that it is unlikely the motor is produced strictly "in house". I would guess Wai Won used the term to emphasise that it's an Ezee exclusive product, I would imagine the actual production is contracted out to a specialist company. But then again the motor could be assembled at the...

Wai Won Ching, the owner of Ezee, gives some some information on the Ezee motor in these posts, stating that it is manufactured in house. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/1215-suzhou-bafang-motor-compare-tongxin-motor.html#post15640...

Great news that its all working Sasha, and I'm delighted to hear that the wee one loves the ride.

Probably not Keith, but once Ezee have a proper UK distribution channel in place they will understandably probably be less keen to supply UK customers directly, instead referring them to the distributor.

The the original Ezee Nimh battery weighed 5.5kg, the Phylon Lithium about 4.5kg but the quoted 3.3kg refers to the new Sanyo lithium now supplied by Ezee using the same cells (but more of them) as the Panasonic unit. The motor is the new motor designed and manufactured by Ezee themselves...

Cyclepoint should be congratulated on providing such comprehensive specifications for the bicycles they will be selling, as far as I know no one else provides such detailed information. Obviously the site is brand new and may have a few errors to be corrected, but as they don't yet seem to be...

I think it is a mistake to see e-bikes as being in competition with electric scooters regardless of cost. For some time inexpensive petrol scooters have been cheaper than many e-bikes but generally do not share the same marketplace. The situation in the 1950's was very different, most people...

The motor is the Suzhou Bafang 8Fun model SWX01, manufacturers details are here. Suzhou Bafang Motor Science Co.,Ltd. I'm not sure about the controller and other parts though.

Congratulations Aaannndddyyy on your 100th post and becoming a senior citizen, err sorry meant member..:D

I think that 33% in Cornwall is the steepest I have encountered, but those who live at the base of a mountain may have seen worse :D

There's some great cycling to be had in Cornwall, at least outside of the main holiday season. I expect the roads get unpleasantly busy during July and August but last June was very quite, I saw few other cyclists and no-one else with an electric.

Spot on with the location Jeanette, it's the top of the Blue Hills. It was last June and while the weather in Cornwall was nice much of the country was flooded.. lets hope for a better summer this year.:)

The seller obviously didn't check the current 50cycles website before linking to it!

That was an issue that I too found irritating Haku. I simply glued a plastic block to the internal return stop to solve it. The spring was weakened by drilling a new hole for its end to locate in, actually I drilled a row of holes to give me a choice, but ended up using the weakest setting.
