    Hex ratchet driver for 15mm ring spanner

    Brompton have recently released a puncture repair kit that can be used with their electric and non-electric 16" bikes. What interests me is the small insert you can put inside a 15mm ring spanner to turn it into a ratchet hex driver. Any ideas where you might buy that insert separately ?

    Faulty TBK-74AD 36V 250W Motor

    I have been given a TBK-74AD 36V 250W Motor wheel for a Brompton, it was faulty. Rather than rotate, it just stutters. Even if the motor is not fixable, I have a spare rim and spokes. I took the motor out of the hub and the fault seems clear, at the point the wires feed from the central black...

    There has been comment in some recent threads that you can maybe ignore the legal restirictions on electric bikes because they are not policed, "plod is not interested" is a not unknown justification for ignoring the legal restrictions. Some posters even seem to advertise their illegal activity...

    Short, less than 60cm, 9 pin motor cable

    The conversion kit I recently bought for a Brompton came with a motor cable that was 110cm long. A shorter motor cable would be good. Shortest I can find is 60cm, but 30cm would be enough. So has anyone seen motor cables shorter than 60cm for sale ?
