    Front wheel for tinkerers - SW London

    Had to get a new front wheel and was going to take the old one to the tip, thought I'd ask here if someone might be interested. It's 28" with very quiet 250watt brushless motor, the motor works fine but the wheel is seized like the bearings have gone, not sure if its geared. Wish I had strength...

    Motor problem

    I managed to open the panel, it was very dry inside and the exit hole is very well sealed. There is a small area of white corrosion at one end, it seems fairly soft, is there something I could use to clean it off?

    Well the new charger arrived promptly, its a different make - Sans electronic and has instructions which say its operating temperature is up to 25 C, its twice the weight of the other one and although it got hot when charging it's nowhere near the scary heat output of the original.
