    ebikerz.shop. LEGIT WEBSITE??

    might be worth a punt if you pay via credit card or other protected method, could be a legit start-up with an enthusiastic marketing bod, a dual 1000w 4" fat wheeled bike with 48v 20ah samsung celled battery for 899 is a bargain.. and tbh seems a little too good i share your caution...

    anyone check the customs declarations on ali express purchases?

    I was aware of the practice when we didnt pay vat as an avoidance tactic by the seller but thought that perhaps naively that the fact that it was now charged at source that the practice had stopped. Not that it was just a 20% price hike. and pop goes my bubble!!

    Think i might need talking down..

    The diy back/brake light takes shape.. Ive whittled the led neon strip to fold in on itself twice for a 3xlight bar a few times and added 2 x orange indicator elements to each end of a nominally longer strip intended to sit at the top.. tests at 6V and 12v for running lights and brake lights...

    Front bike light has no power

    Fwiw ive opted to add this front lamp the key feature being the 'universal input voltage' chenglish for what i understand to be a wide range of input voltages.. tho i will be running off 12v via a dc/dc converter. not in the same league as @guerney 's solution but not needed to perform...

    KT LCD5 controller issue with throttle and PAS

    Trust me after decades of IT fault finding ITS ALWAYS THE CABLE especially when you dont rule it out #1, is this an additional cable that plugs in between the controller and the headsets and throttle? since corrosion got in and the wires are very thin, AND a replacement also fails.. smells...

    Aldi 145L "Heavy Duty" Trunk £17.99

    Where there is a will there is a way.. could a stiffened ratchet strap be snaked over wheels front and rear? if so then simple chock blocks to keep the wheels stationary while clamped down might work well.
