thanks d8veh - done in 10 seconds. cant believe how easy it is.. gone from 25 to 35kph though might dampen it down a touch thanks again, a great help

this might help, presume i'll need to open it up...

I should probably point out I have the technical ability of a wasp..

hi, can anyone tell me how to override the 15mph? D8veh said it can be done on the code 13 BPM motor. A friend has one a bear and might be persuaded to sell, but id like to increase it to 20mph.. Many thanks

might have overplayed the knee thing. I can get the wheels turning on a normal bike and use mine a couple of times a week to nip to shops. problems occur when i realise i forgot my wallet and rush back and the old knee starts throbbing. rule is I have to be gentle on it. If the options...

I have body frame of peter jones and strong as an ox, so maybe more weight will be acceptable trade-off for power and still up the odd set of stairs and then onto eezee wheels. 117kg now - on atkins! now targetting 100kg which might help kit options. regardless of bike, a new job with...

thanks for the tip, i'll certainly contact him actually, i can charge it at work, so only needs 10 miles. (carpark is £150 a pm plus £60 for train tickets at other end, ouch). your right though, and i might only sometimes use it and treat myself to day parking occasionally. also, im led to...

just a thought, was on another forum where a chap offered to do a conversion for someone...at a cost of course if i was to buy a brompton off ebay, do any of the knowlegable regulars on here charge to do a conversion for other members? just thinking options at the moment. weight and fold are...

just for the record really and for future readers of the post. As trex says, (and many will probably be thinking), its looks like an expensive mistake that could be a chore. My reasons are, parking at Ipswich station £150 p/month plus london travelcard £60 to be squashed into the jubilee...

ideally need more than 10mph. I have almost zero cartilage in one knee but can gently pedal. when i push too hard, in a matter of mins the knee ache's and is letting me know it's not happy. i have a new job starting in London in October and its actually given me the motivation to shed some...

you've put the dampners on the sparticle now! But I don't feel confident with fitting a cheaper Q100, etc or risk messing up an expensive Brompton. Need the assurance of someone competent. are there any other shops in London /south east that you'd recommend visiting to discuss alternatives &...

im currently eating lettuce for breakfast, lunch and dinner! im 10kg over the limit, and going down! weight concerns aside, just want to make sure the saprticle is the one!

next up the motor, cant seem to find anything negative about the sparticle on forum, so if there is, here's your chance!

Brompton "bike builder" is quiet addictable!

ok, further research points me towards a Brompton and buying a kit..the powerful looking sparticle is only 3.7kg... going bank loan route now, when I choose build, I can have 1,2,3 or 6 gears, more gears more weight. given im going electric, will I need any more gears than one? ta

Thanks I'm in Ipswich and no electric bikes specialists around. the ebay one looks nice but it's not the quick release/spring into action im after (like a Brompton would). Expecting to have to make a trip to London to look a couple of shops, found the electric transport company and they sell...

Hi I've looked around for advice on forum but can't find all the answers I need; I'll try and keep to the points! Me, a shade over 19 stone, need an electric folding bike folding bike to get to train station, catch train, then use bike to work. Total 10 miles. I can charge it at work, then...

Looking forward to getting a commuting electric bike, anyone else use one on the trains? tommy
