I don't know if I have the energy to start legal proceedings and so forth at the mo. Even if they took the things back, I'd still lose a load of money to P&P charges (£15 to send it to me, maybe another tenner to send it back...). So far one of the three batteries is knacked, that's £35. Not...

Don't buy from fun2ride - they will rip you off! I hope you didn't end up buying anything from Fun2Ride, as I just got ripped off by them myself. They don't offer any kind of warranty, only a 7-day money back (minus exporbitant postage of course), so if their cheap and nasty goods break down...

Whatever you do, don't by anything from Fun2ride, either bikes or parts. I made the mistake of buying a battery pack from them. They sold me duff batts and have refused point blank to take them back after only 2 weeks. Apparently their warranty is only good for one week! In conclusion...

Thanks - what do you think about modding?

Hello there - thinking of buying a Lithium or maybe NiMH powered Ebike. I already have a sort-of-Ebike, it's one of those scooter type things that looks like a moped but as it doesn't have gears and has a large road footprint thought I better upgrade before I venture out of town. I need...

Well mine are definitely from powabyke. I see from your graph that they end up at around 13.75 each, the same as mine. The voltage while charging is over 14v though, which is to be expected. Looks like I probably don't have a problem but I'm going to try getting a different charger anyway as...

Oh, absolutely - I check after every charge (not individually though; that would be going too far) According to Battery University one should leave it on overnight!

I don't know - someone told me that 42.4, at the very least 41.4v or I'll run into "balance issues and early failure."

I've got a charger question running in another thread - this is another idea I've got for my bike Would I be doing more harm than good if I stuck some solar panels on my bike to keep it trickle charging when I'm out using it? Also What if I tried to run the whole bike that way, with very...

Hi, I have just fitted three new Panasonic 15ah sealed lead-acid batts from Powabyke. I notice that when they've finished charging they're only about 41 volts or so, should they be higher? And if so how urgent is it that I change my charger? I'm using the charger that came with the bike, an...

I have a Sakura s200. It's great except that it really should have tubeless tyres. Anyone else gone for the moped-style ebikes?

Exactly everything that's wrong with this country. Do they have this nonsense on the Continent? When I lived in spain there was this velo-solex type thing called a mobylette, it was essentially a petrol version of the e-bike (moped type). Pretty sure it could go faster than 15 mph! This...

Hmmm, thanks guys, you've put me off the probably suicidal idea of spending tons of money on NiMHs to replace the SLAs. But what about range extension? I might start a new thread soon...

Oooh, thanks. That sounds bad, considering I'd been trying to improve performance... What do you think of these: E-Bikes Kit & Batteries - 48V Battery pack Alternatively: What about using 2.6 amp, 48v AA clusters to augment the main battery? Should give me more range, maybe another 4...

Hi there - I'm new! I have this Sakura S200: Andy Wade's 2004 Sakura S200 and I want to replace the 36 / 48v, 13amp SLA with 40 10 or 11 amp NiMH D-cells (and maybe a bank of AAs or another bank of D Cells to supplement that up to over 14 amp if neccesary - my calculations show that I need at...
