    Side swipped by a van.

    I think those guys have had a shot across the bows and hopefully learnt a lesson for safer driving. Fair play to the Director for replying to this thread. Free hand crimped pasties for life could be your compensation? You will need a 6000 watt motor to move you then lol. You might not have...

    Side swipped by a van.

    Yep I Know mate. I work with you and cycled with you. You bought a new 250 watt motor to be legal. The thing I look at is the big picture. If you would have clipped the curb and fell in the road and a car behind etc would have run over you, you would be a statistic. Glad you are still here to...

    Fastest speed on an e.bike.....just for fun

    I did get a constant 53 mph on the flat even after a couple of seconds cycling it said 53mph according to my new wireless speedo. Swapped it with another exactly the same. The 2 wireless speedo's are in the chinese clack draw at work. Probably motor interfering. Back to my old wired one and...

    I use the same as D8veh and never had a problem with it. Probably the best one for quality to price ratio.

    Battery Rattles and Clangs

    Yes my one rattles but as I don't have to take it out too much I use a couple of bungee straps and that seems to stop it. Carefull with your eyes though using a bungee I think someone of this forum injured his eye when they suddenly spring back.

    planetary gears - Ezee Torq motor Broken

    Hi Guys I have an Ezee Torq I think the Trekking with front suspension and disc brakes. Anyway a couple of teeth have broken from the gears in the motor. Luckily when I bought the bike it came with a spare motor that I have now fitted. The motor that is broken used to do 20mph so the bike...

    What tyres do I buy?

    I got Schwalbe "marathon plus" tyres and have 2 punctures this week but there is a lot of glass on the cycle lanes that was to late to avoid. "Slime" helped to get to my destination the 1st time, second time had to replace the inner tube in the rain which took me about half an hour. I guess...

    should E bike,s have a diagnostic test system

    My lad is a technician at BMW and although the fault code is given it can still be about 5 or 6 things it just narrows it down a bit. My Ezee Torq is playing up and no error light is flashing on the controller as per my other thread. So diagnostics and fault codes are not the answer to...

    Throttle sticking

    Hi John There is no flashing on the controller. As soon as you switch to use the throttle only mode the front wheel starts . Thing is its only when you start in the morning or in the evening coming home during the trip etc then it doesn't do it. Had a look at the trottle today and I cannot...
