    Sorry, but need an expert opinion!

    I'd go for the BEBA member on that list - good code of practice and great support. So, if a Juicy doesn't suit you have a try out on the Oxygen.

    Hill climbing - Giant, Wisper or Kalkoff?

    Many of our customers report much better power and range than the Giant, and choose our Classic in preference.

    Please explain batteries to me.

    The motor power is measured in watts. A motor of X watts will keep going at its fixed rate of power for longer the more stored energy it has available. The stored energy is measured in Amp Hours (AH). So the figures you need to compare are the watts of the motor for power and the AH of the...

    Above knee amputee - new to forum

    I can not live with these lies any more! I have to admit to never having met Dave. All his praises belong to the Juicy Bike Team, especially Matt at our workshop who Dave worked with to find the perfect set-up from our range. I will certainly pass on Dave's kind comments. All I can confirm...

    Advice please

    I'd be interested in your opinion of our Merlin. Good features, distinctive styling, which is either liked or not.

    Thinking Of Not Fitting The Brake Switches ?

    When you're showing off to the girls, riding slowly through tight turns, looking good, Robert Redford style, keeping a brake handle slightly depressed to operate the cut-off can avoid those embarrassing moments when the motor cuts-in and throws you off balance... Just a thought...

    Check the battery initial capacity?

    We have a tester that can draw 10 amps, at steady temperature, linked to a timer, which measures the time taken to the bms cut off. This gives a very accurate measure. The problem with lamps in series, whilst an excellent, inexpensive solution, is accuracy, due to resistance changing with...

    Electric bike to buy

    That makes a great deal of sense - I hate the idea of wasting a perfectly decent battery.

    Wisper 905 rain-induced powerloss

    No worries David! I'll wait for the customer to contact me and send straight to him. No need to replace. I think we're all on the same side after all. Cheers

    We have a stock of switches that suit this type of battery. Happy to send one if that helps out. Via Wisper if they want to check (David?) or straight to the customer. Let me know...

    self destructing bike

    For some motors, designed for re-generation, or controllers with the same intention, a great deal of current can be created whilst free-wheeling down hill. This can cause the motor to get very hot and could be a possible cause...

    2000-2700 budget

    Only the Kalkhoff would appear to have the AH you need to avoid regular discharge of the battery, which is to be avoided. Despite what manufacturers claim, a 36V 250W 10AH system would use more than 50% of battery capacity on a 22 mile trip. As a rule of thumb you should plan your battery...

    New, confused and needing advice please!

    There is a vast range of bikes at Swindon, not just Juicy. Have a look at their website here. We should be represented by a local dealer that day in Bristol.

    Electric Bike Stopped Working........ Help!!!!

    Sorry, should have been more clear. Check the cables to the throttle aren't broken and then reconnect it, disconnecting everything else but the motor and battery. Perhaps taking a break would be sensible. There's always tomorrow and perhaps someone else might give an inspired input in the...
