    Maybe a couple of Tea Cosy's might help. Or was it Toe Cosy's!

    Help! Ping Battery charging

    Thanks Alan for quick reply. I have the batteries charged and all 12 LED's of the BMS are on. Does this mean I can disconnect the charger at this point or do I have to leave it on until I am going to use the battery. I have the wiring guide but I am still unsure. Both kit's doing well btw...

    BMS Battery conversion kit

    Very nice but a bit pricey for my use. I only need the bike for leisure and don't intend doing more than 30-35 miles in one trip. What about this one as an alternative. Turnigy Watt up Meter and power Analyzer UK seller | eBay

    BMS Battery conversion kit

    Just been out for first proper run on the Dawes. Gave it a 20 mile test up as many hills as I could find locally. It performed really well. The hills simply disappear. Cruise control is a fanatastic tool when you get used to it. Probably just as well since the pedelec is pretty useless. Works...

    Dirty rusty bafang hub

    A hacksaw would not make any impression on it as a bearing is hardened steel. A good solid hit with a chisel usually splits it and it then comes off no problem. Angle grinder is okay if you can get cutting disk in without damaging anything else

    BMS Battery conversion kit

    Spot on description d8veh. Up to 3rd gear It pulled really well and I could not pedal fast enough then into 4th and the pedal assist disappears, slow down to 3rd and it is back again. I see now why you use the cruise control. I did test mine and it works great. Suppose I will get used to the...

    BMS Battery conversion kit

    Finally found some time to spend on my new build this weekend and took it out for it's test run. I fitted a 10a circuit breaker to use as a switch and it obviously is not big enough which I found out on climbing the first hill. Still not much of an issue as a larger one should fix the problem...

    BMS Battery conversion kit

    I reckon it is 25% Both batteries cost £802 so a quarter is £200. VAT is 20% and import tax I am guessing at 5% Just wasn't expecting such a hit, That makes each battery costing just over £500 That is more than the Synergie Cruiser for the whole bike!

    At last the Ping 20ah batteries have arrived. Got a scare yesterday whilst tracking the progress for delivery. I was informed that I had to get in touch with Fedex at Stanstead. The packages had failed Customs as they were under declared at a value of 160USD. I was informed that I had to...
