Thanks for quick reply Frank. It is a lion battery.

The snow has now gone and I have been out for a test run on the new build. Failed miserably. I only get about 500yds and it cut's out. If I then switch off the battery at it's key then back on It works again for about the same distance and cut's out again. I am using my old 10ah battery until...

Sorry to read about your off the other day Scott. Hope you and Marin are okay. Had a couple of cars skidded onto my grass verge last night in the snow so I am not even going to attempt a test run till it clears. Made a right mess of my grass. Should really make a start on bike number two while...

I have made sure the wheel is sitting central in the frame d8veh. Hoping to give it a road test when the snow disappears. Should maybe try it in the snow and see if it leaves two tyre tracks. I have ran a test in my shed using my old 10ah battery and everything is working fine. Certainly a lot...

Been busy on building first bike. Thought I would start with the most difficult. Turns out it was not that easy. I have managed to fit one torque arm (6mm thick steel) but because I had to space out the disc brake side so that the hydraulic brake caliper would clear the motor I did not have...

Okay the wheels and controllers and bits have arrived from Alan at Just1bikes. I have to say they look fabulous and very well packaged. Thanks very much Alan I have been thinking about torque arms. I will be fitting the motor's to the rear of each bike (350w) and wondered if I really need...

Maybe not Falkirk area but I am in Perthshire and don't see any electric bikes there either. Caravan a bit in Edinburgh and see a few Giant Lafree etc on site there. Lovely off road cycle paths in Edinburgh but don't see any on the paths to the water of Leith, Union Canal, Ratho, Forth Bridge...

What is the time scale Roger for delivery of the Ping battery. I have ordered two 36v 20ah for my new build's and wondered how long they would take to arrive. Ping said lead time 7 days which I assume is for him sending them. Alan

Well I have taken the plunge and ordered my conversion kits. My good lady decided she wanted another bike as well so following advice from d8veh, scottyf to name but a few I decided not to order the wheels from BMS. I was contacted by catsnapper (Alan at just1bike) and he is going to supply: 2x...

Afternoon scottyf Great looking bike. I am starting to build two bikes and need the electric kit for them. I too was contacted by Alan at just1bike and he is going to build the wheels with bafang 350w motor and supply controllers, brake levers, pedelec sensor, and thumb throttles all at an...

Thanks for the reply d8veh. Had a look at photo's and they are fab. This is exactly what I am hoping to achieve. I have no worries about filing out the drop outs and fitting torque arms for the front axle. I assume you would recommend the front wheel installation as I cannot find a rear wheel...

I was thinking recently of buying a conversion kit from BMS Battery. I have been looking at the 36v 500w kit by Bafang or they have the same spec by Q128 Rear-Driving - BMSBATTERY Probably been well covered before but has anyone any experience with these kits. I was hoping to fit it onto...

Had a look at both connectors for throttle and nothing is visibly wrong. When i put my controller onto the Mrs bike her bike then had my problem of running constantly on full speed. And with her controller on my bike mine works perfectly. This is why I assume problem is with controller. Has...

Thanks for the replies. Problem is with the controller. swapped them over and my bike is now fine. Wonder if the Mrs will notice her throttle is not working! Have to phone Alien and see if they have a controller.

Thanks for that Scottyf My wife has exactly the same bike so I thought I will borrow?? her throttle. I have both bikes side by side and plugged her throttle to my controller. Switched mine on and full speed straight away. I reckon this rules out any throttle problems as it is the same fault...

The new throttle was a little different. black and red wires same as old throttle but it has a blue wire instead of a white one. I joined red to red, black to black and blue to white. How can I check if this is correct?

Hi folks I am having a problem with my Synergie Cruiser. As soon as I switch the key on it runs at full speed. I tried disconnecting the pedelec cable at the control box and it was the same. Put it back on then disconnected the throttle and hey presto it stopped. Faulty throttle I thought...

Got my bike back on the road at last. The ball races were indeed numbered. I ordered a couple and when they arrived the next day I duly went to fit them. Unfortunately they would not fit the shaft or cups. I contacted Alien Ocean who now sell Synergie hoping to buy a new bottom bracket but the...

No is not the Tour tyre, the standard Marathon Plus with the "Smartguard puncture protection" layer. The puncture was on the rear motor wheel. I do feel the eighty odd quid spent on four tyres has been a waste of money.

I recently had a puncture with my Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyre. After reading how good they are on this forum I decided to fit a pair on both our bikes. Reckon I have done about 300 miles on mine and I got a puncture on the rear. Managed to pump it up enough to get home and I found the remains...
