Russ, I just found this picture of the sensor:- Looking at the picture it appears that the adjustment is done by moving the sensor to the right position to get the spring tension right; movement being allowed via the slotted lower screw hole. From past experience I don't trust the mechanic...

Update. I tried the reset a few times without success. The reading about was about 14.4 whereas when the bike was new it was 18.25, just as shown in the video. A test ride after each reset showed no change. I the did a reset whilst pressing on the pedal to give a reading of 19 on the display...

Just got the battery re-celled and it rides well BUT when I stop pedalling the controller goes into motorbike mode until I stop by applying the brakes. This is a Pedelec bike! The bike was without power for about two months so I wonder if the controller has lost the settings in memory. I...

Well I got my battery back three weeks ago. Jimmy was not able to fit in the last of the Boston Power cells so went with Panasonic NCR18650GA cells; 5 in parallel, 10 in series. When Jimmy tested the pack he found that the BMS board was faulty - a failed MOSFET, which he replaced with some...

Update, I contacted Jimmy and he offered three alternative cells at a reasonable price, all of which includes transport both ways for my battery. I have chosen a battery cell made by Boston Power and called Swing. These are used in electric vehicles and are 15.6Ah and a life of up to 3000...

Thanks you both for your comments. I have made contact. I would like to retain my existing battery case as it plugs into the controller. The controller on this bike is one of the best I have ridden and treats the front wheel motor as a true torque motor. After looking around on this forum I...

After 4 years and 4000 miles the battery needs replacement. What are the options- does anyone offer a service to put in new cells? It seems unlikely that Raleigh will offer any assistance. The original battery was made by Phylion Battery Co in China but they don't answer my emails. Naturally, I...

The most readily available is the much better Lithium Polymer battery also known as a LiPo battery. Do not be tempted to use LiPos as they are sensitive about charging and discharging limits. They must be charged to 4.2 vpc (Volts per cell) but no more, and end of discharge at 3.0 vpc (2.7 with...

Just found this forum when looking for a solution to mud kicked up from the bottom of the front mudguard, so I have now joined you. My bike is a Raleigh Velo Cite (great pedelec bike) on which I have done 1250 miles since the end of June last year. We have cycle paths round here on non-tarmac...
