    Review MiRider One

    Yep agree, VFR is all over this forum helping out with advice and technical queries, and has been for many years, the 'go to guy'. He also is to the point and cuts through the BS, which is a characteristic I like in folk

    an early 2020 bike will still be under warranty with Halfords. Not sure if the warranty was transferable, but if the seller was a mate, he/she might be able to return it to Halfords store and pose as the current owner

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    I've been running Smart Sam Plus tyres for the summer, about 1k miles so far on them, very pleased, good grip off road and pretty grippy too on tarmac, and have a center tread that rolls well. Not a single puncture so far. Mine are 700c x 1.75in, and I've found a great price here at about £38...

    Making mid drive, help required.

    I thought the latest 'B' version threw up an error when trying to reprogram the 250w from 15a to 18a, in which case you need the 350w physical controller to run at 18a ?

    Aren't the controllers different on BBS01 250w and 350w ?

    Looks like a Brooks Flyer to me, well broken in as well. Kudos for sticking with it, I lasted about 2 months with my B17 before I gave in

    Review MiRider One

    I'm not trying to be negative, sorry if it has come across that way. It's your bike, you like it, that's all that matters. If someone after reading your (helpful) review thinks 'that's the sort of bike I need' I was merely pointing out there are other options for the same type of bike if they...

    Fair enough. I think they use the same frame as the bike here: https://www.tomtop.com/p-rtysy-s6c-eu.html?uid=4d4dbf1d6e5804f67ffd972b65bb024b&utm_source=admitad&admitad_uid=4d4dbf1d6e5804f67ffd972b65bb024b&web=1007403 Not sure what other differences are other than this one is £800 cheaper :eek:

    Is this the model with a tiny capacity 5.2 Ah battery? If so I wouldn't expect much more than about 10 miles range, if that, if you are using the higher assist levels

    Happy eBay E-Biker.....

    Thats a Bafang Max Drive on your bike ? I think you can change the max speed either via the display (if not locked down) or using a BBSxx programming cable Try this:# http://www.voltbike.ca/Manuals/max_drive_manual.pdf The default pin is 0512, you can then change the speed limit

    Happy eBay E-Biker.....

    Epic bargain. Enjoy the daily commute. I have found I get a great amount of personal satisfaction from commuting every day in all weathers. Sometimes laughing and singing to myself as I ride home in the wind and rain. Ebikes are great

    Problem with Carrera Crossfire e-bike

    Do you still get good range ? If you hold the battery on/off button down for 10 secs do you get all 5 bars flash on the battery ? If so, that indicates 80-100% capacity available once fully charged ( SEE PAGE 9 of here -...
