I'd say give it a go I've been using a StihlAP100 hedgetrimmer battery on an old TGA electrobike for over a year. I can get about 5 fast hilly miles out of it which gets me to work and back twice = very useful!

How exciting! I just offered up an 18t sprocket and it looks like it would clear the chainwheel. It should be quite possible to turn down the original sprocket and silver solder it inside the 18t. I'll report how well this works out - 4 extra teeth is 28.5% increase so the characteristics...

Yes the 14t motor sprocket. I have ordered 2 from AtoB but before destroying new parts I though i'd see if anyone had any discarded worn out old sprockets, bit of a long shot I know! I just spent some time trying to find out what else that 17mm 15t spline is used for but it does not seem to be...

Needed for a project. Anyone got any? Happy to buy and/or pay for postage WHY?

Thanks Flecc So is it the case that the percentage increase in tooth count (e.g. 7.14% from 14 to 15) will give a corresponding increase in the ramp down candence speed?

Hello, I got an original Lafree comfort ST, one of the final models, the one with the SRAM S7 hub gear. Somehow it has survived unused. I don't have the correct charger but managed to get it charged using an Imax B6 RC charger. The bike rides very nicely, I intend to fit a smaller rear...

Yes I see your point! I like the youtube videos where people poke their LiPos with a sharp implement - I think the technical term is 'venting with flame'! Well seeing as the cost of the Hobbyking battery is quite reasonable I may as well order one up. The cells on Alibaba seem to have minimum...

Thanks for the reply:) The cells are soldered into the pack using the nickel tabs as in the photo above. I see the dimensions of that 2S hobby king pack are close enough to what I have and would actually fit quite well. I wonder if using such cells would be so dangerous if used with the...

Hi Everyone Any battery experts here? I picked up a nice looking e-bike battery for free from my local recycling center. It is a 36v 16ah unit which fits behind the seatpost as used on many Chinese ebikes. I believe this battery type is known as a 'silverfish'. Anyway, there was no voltage...

Hello I am in need of an Ezee type battery case, the type which slots down into the frame behind the seat post as used on the Ezee Torq and others. I bought a Torque without its battery but I have some Phylion cells so I just need the case, although I would be happy to buy a complete...
