    Changing Disc Brake Pads

    Looking the procedure up on the web, every article started by saying remove the wheel. Obviously authors had not dealt with a rear hub motor deraileur etc. I changed mine by undoing two hex head screws, noting where a spacer was located, removing the worn pads with long nose pliers, cleaning...

    Dynamos and hub dynamos, Battery charging

    An Honest dealer, Excellent Service.

    I purchased a LiO4 battery from China via Ali Express, the battery I received was smaller in capacity compared with the one I ordered. Without any fuss Ali Express informed me that I could keep the battery and that my payment would be refunded. Rod Fuller

    A Hybrid Powabyke?
