I have a block of 18650's that were returned to me after my last recell. They are just sitting on a shelf as there's nowhere local that will accept them for recycle. I've even tried enquiring with distant companies but transport becomes an issue. So I'm stuck with this thing. I'd like to use...

Just getting the recumbent out and ready for some summer riding. It has an AKM128cst, T09S controller and LCD3. For now I'm going to run it with the Dillinger 48v 11.5Ah battery it originally came with (might as well use it up). I have most things set and bike seems to rum well, but struggling...

Does anyone know how to defeat those bloody annoying po ups in the bottom right corner of windows 10? Some times my mouse passes over the area and the click bait pop up appears interupting what I'm actually doing. Occaisionally it just won't close and I have to reboot the laptop. Only...

I have 20" Meks front forks on my recumbent. They feel stiff and will only return to full length when the weight is lifted off them. Anyone know about these forks? Found service info for other forks but not these. Are they all the same? Tried adjusting preload and fast/slow but to no avail. I...

I had to put the conversion of my Velotechnic street machine on hold for a while, but now I'm back. I bought the bike with an existing 48v Dillinger kit that has got to go. The motor does not like hills and the battery is getting hammered, it may be past it's best anyway. I have two 36v...

I'm struggling here. I want to get rid of the Dillinger kit on this bike but am struggling to find supplies. So, here's what I'm looking for: Rear wheel hub, cassette or free wheel, don't mind, currently has a 7 speed fitted. 26" wheel. 9 or 12 Fet controller (there's a lot of hills around...

I've been searching for a particular bike for about 4 years. In a post around 3 weeks ago, someone mentioned a recumbent they had bought. Out of curiosity I googled it to see what it was like. Up came e-bay and lo and behold the 3rd picture along was the bike I'd been looking for...

I have two chargers, both with 3 pin xlr charge plugs. One is a substantial metal cased 4A one (supplied with eezi kit) that has a good fan. The other is a YZPOWER 2A charger with mini fan. Both measure 41.7v output. I thought it might be my meter but my wifes charger (supplied with Big Bear)...

Given the increasing possibility of power outages this winter, and possibly beyond, I have decided to start looking at some sort of power backup so I don't loose all the lovely garden produce I've managed to freeze this summer. Firstly, I'm aware that these things are mis-named in that they are...

I'm refurbing a bike for my daughter. It has a front hub fitted with a 7A controller, 15A max. Looking for a rear rack battery preferably with a rack but can fit to existing rack. Found this Yosepower one. States 20A max discharge but doesn't state cell name apart from saying they are 18650...

I'm re-furbing a bike as a commuter for my daughter. It has an old, but capable, Panda (remember them?) front hub kit on it. It has no battery at the mo, so I need a rear rack battery to fit a 700c wheel size. It's a small 250w hub, basic led display. I think the controller is max 17A...

The wife's Big Bear has developed an intermittant, but increasing, loud 'clack'. Forks and top bearing seem fine and, when riding alongside, the sound appears to be coming from the motor. Assuming that it's bearings, I've got this far: Removing the three central screws doesn't seem to get me...

Gave myself a day off today and planned a long ride through some lovely valleys and a pub lunch before riding home. About 5 miles in, I stopped for a drink half way up a long climb, then noticed the LH hub nut was missing.:oops::eek: Fortunately the torque bracket was still firmly in place. How...

I have two batteries and chargers. Both chargers read 41.7v at output and charge my batteries to 41.6-41.65v I'm not sure if this is balancing the cells, so I thought I would try and turn up the o/p voltage to 42v. I opened the YZPower charger but couldn't see a pot (photo). Is this a preset...

Just had the wife's 5 year old Big Bear battery re-celled by the ever efficient Jimmy. The old one was getting saggy on the Welsh hills leading to increasing range anxiety, though still working well. Jimmy has turned what was a 14Ah into a 19Ah using Samsung 21700 - 50g's. On charge at the...

RANT ALERT! A year ago we bought a low mileage, two previous owners vivaro combi. It has a wheel chair ramp fitted so is ideal for putting our bikes in for away rides.:) It's a 2012 and only had 29,600 miles on it - so a bargin as the dealer had taken it in part ex and couldn't shift it. The...

I have a YZpower 2A charger, it's a small one with a fan in it. I bought it as a replacement for a blown Sans one Jimmy supplied with a soft pack battery he built for me. About half way through a charge this one starts to, intermittantly, go green. If I even touch the output lead (not even...

OK, so I think lock down madness is truely kicking in now. I've been in touch with Kinetics about one of these: https://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/recumbents/hpvelotechnik/streetmachine/ I know, a bit rad - right? It's long term planning and I'm hoping it would extend my cycling life with...

I have Tektro Lyra caliper on the rear. I'm getting through brake pads at a right rate of knots. To be expected as there's loads of hills here and I'm using organic for grip. However a pair of Clarks have just lasted me about 300 miles. I don't mind changing them, after all it's one of the...

Judging by the daylight I can see between chain and sprocket and the 'chattering' noise in most gears, then I think it's time for a sprocket/chain change. The bike has done around 6000 miles in hilly west Wales and has had one new chain. The bike originally had 8x3 gearing but I removed the...
