Many thanks for the comprehensive information and comments on the subject. I guess that I am going to have to purchase the correct charger if only to ensure the life of the SLAs. Out of interest after a short test run with the battery, I did connect the lithium charger for about an hour which...

Hi, I am currently assembling a 36V 10Ah SLA pack but do not yet have a dedicated SLA charger. I was wondering how successful/safe would using a standard 42V 2A EZEE Lithium charger would be? I was going to connect and measure current flow as the recommended max initial per12V batt, of 14.4-15V...

Thank you for a very informative and detailed review which I am sure will influence many prospective purchasers when making their choice. I for one will give it serious consideration when the 'gents' version arrives, providing the price remains competative.

Many thanks for the information flecc, it seems that my transition from motoring to cycling involves not only the effort in tackling hills, but also a steep learing curve. I guess I will just have to put in more effort :).

I have recently discovered that as a second owner my bike has no warranty coverage whatsoever even though it is only 7 months old. I have seen numerous adverts for ebikes less than 12 months old with the addition of a statement to the effect still under warranty by XXXX. Has anyone had...

Poor capacity I had my LI ion battery checked by 50cycles this week as I had a feeling that it had a reduced capacity but as I charge it after each run, about 8 miles, I could not be sure. I was advised that the capacity was now down to 6.3 Ah which was a bit of a shock or not:) . The battery...

Agattu test ride I had the good fortune to try the Agattu at 50 cycles this week along with other bikes in their range. Unfortunately I do not have the advantage of being able to compare it to the la free as I have never ridden one, I am also new to cycling, at least in the 21st Century :D ...

Many thanks for the guidance, I will certainly post information on the results achieved with the Lidl cells, but it may be a few weeks before I get a chance to do the work.

That’s encouraging news flecc, I read your original thread with interest and following in the footsteps of others I have a draw full of Lidl cells waiting to be assembled into a 5Ah battery. Are you still charging with the Li-ion charger? Also, what is the advice on the inclusion of barrier...

Many thanks all for the information and links, I hope that I can resolve this issue one way or another otherwise I think I will be considering rear wheel drive for any future purchase.

Thanks for the information and your experience of a positive outcome. I will start off simply and play around with pads and if this is unsuccessful I may well take a more drastic route and change the system. Fortunately cut out switches are not an issue as not fitted to mine (April 07 model)...

Many thanks for the link, if I am unable to source them locally I will give them a try.

Ian/flecc many thanks for the information at least I now know that it is not just my bike. Trust me to end up with one that judders:) In the first instance I will try different pads as you suggest, will it be obvious which ones to get or do I need a specific Shimano product?

I recently returned my 2nd hand Torq to 50cycles for a service and have a couple of issues sorted, one of which was, what I understand is a common problem, front wheel judder when braking. Picked up the bike today and judder is still present. I have been assured that this is OK and a common...

Thanks for that, any excuse to stop off for a cup of tea on my way home is welcome:)

Many thanks allotmenteer/flecc I will recharge at every oportunity. Just a further thought, is a partial recharge during a break in my journey worthwhile or should it always be a full charge?

Have I got this right? Hi, I have recently purchased a torq (2nd hand) and am still very much getting used to it and the pleasure of using off road routes on my twice weekly commute. I have read this thread with interest regarding the best way to maximize Li-ion battery life through...
