Excuse me? Care to elaborate on that comment?

Install the new one with some copper grease on the threads.

Looks nicely packaged. Direct drive motor though.

Throttle wont stop you getting fit - I've lost 18kg since starting to commute with my ebike.

I'm still on a fast bike - I've just found as I'm getting fitter I'm just going quicker but using less battery :-) Like a previous poster, my brain always goes into "bat out of hell" mode when getting on the bike - all my good intentions of cycling to work in my work gear and sitting...

I'd only be inclined to use it on a bike that was out of warranty. I certainly wouldn't post on a public forum about using a dongle on a bike that was still warrantied, esp if purchased from one of the traders on said forum!

It just frigs the input into the controller so it thinks the bike is going slower than it actually is, so the controller just keeps adding power above the normal cut off limit. You can do the same with the Mecury Speedict. Battery should be fine, 50km/h isn't that fast and it doesn't up the...

I've cycled to work every day for the last two weeks ;-)

Are you sure about that? Army surplus Goretex - it's the way forward. I got some brand new, zipped leg, elasticated waist RAF goretex trousers for..... wait for it............. £14.50 delivered! They are as good quality as GoreBikeWear stuff I also have - in fact maybe more so -...

Wow - not meaning to be funny or anything but what a way to make a drama of a simple connector fit and bleed! For reference, there is no need to remove the caliper from the bike or make it the highest point - you can just bleed the system with everything in situ. Oh, and with Shimano brakes...

If you're anything like me Alex you'll find the orginal exactly 5 mins after the replacement pops through the letterbox! Oh and re dopping stuff in the workshop - the strongest known force in the universe (stronger than the suns gravity, stronger than a black hole) is that 1cm gap under your...

They only do one size - it should be the right one :-)

Is this the part you've lost?

Magura fluid is just 10wt mineral oil with a bit of blue dye added. You can use an similar weight non corrosive fluid (i.e. not brake fluid) but bear in mind your warranty would be void. Something like this would be fine. People have even had success with vegetable oil when nothing else...

12c outside in Blackpool atm - it's a beautiful day - looks good all week too, geting a touch cooler later in the week. That's the ebike every day then! Although I'll be taking it easy as I seperated my right knee whilst getting on my bike this am :-( After hitting the deck I did the...

If you're getting fed up holding open thumb throttles, just take the return spring out - works a charm on my bike :-) I did that instead of fitting cruise control. Ofc, you should have at least one brake cut out if you do this!

About cooling the motors? On ES, folks have heaters for the batteries, oil cooling for the motors and water cooling for the controllers. Serious stuff.

Depending on the state of charge, storing at 25c means you could permanently lose 20% of the capacity of the battery in one year versus 2% stored @ 0c. How to Store Batteries – Battery University However, if you use batteries whilst they are @ 0c, then they have a reduced capacity and...

Keeping batteries warm DECREASES their life expectancy ;-)

My response was kind of toungue in cheek ;-) Oh, and re: throttles - if the pedals need to be turning then they aren't really throttles at all are they? What has been described is really an infinitiely variable assist mechanism - which is already allowed. It make no difference whether...
