    Still not sorted. No big deal probably, but it does look bad

    Hopper Urban replacement battery

    Ah. OK. Many thanks. I have tried someone on eBay (still waiting for a reply). Agreed, if it becomes insurmountable I might well go for the new mounting etc option. Thanks

    Hopper Urban replacement battery

    Many thanks - I did follow the link but couldnt see any information on where to source a replacement. I did see the pic of the battery but that looks like a "Frog" type of battery. The one I am after is a slim rectangular shape.

    Hopper Urban replacement battery

    Long story but.........my friend died a few weeks ago and I've been tasked with selling on his Hopper Urban folding electric bike. I have a friend who wants to buy it but.........it hasnt been used for a few years and, try as we might, we cant find the battery! It was bought from Tesco years ago...

    When is it time to replace a battery?

    Many thanks. I take your point but, although I usually only do about 20 miles, I do the occasional longer ride (with some steep hills) and I dont want to be in the situation where the battery runs out of power a few miles from home/car. I'm happy to pay for a replecement (after all "you cant...

    When is it time to replace a battery?

    I have a Samsung 36v 15AH lithium battery. Purchased in August 2015. Its done just over 4000 miles and, being only used for leisure purposes (approximately 20 miles each time), its probably been charged 200 times. Recently I've noticed that the "power indicator" is dropping much more often on...

    Cyclists avoiding cycle lanes

    If we don't use the cycle lanes that ARE any good (safe and well paved) then I guess we can't expect to get (m)any more. It's certainly a hot topic.

    Cyclists avoiding cycle lanes

    Ah...OK. Looks like I'm in a minority of one! Anyway, I thought it was worth raising the issue. Lets see what Chris Boardman comes up with (I'm not holding my breath).

    Cyclists avoiding cycle lanes

    Totally agree where the surface is poor - but where the surface is pristine, that wouldnt be a reason (although, admittedly, there may be other factors)

    Cyclists avoiding cycle lanes

    OK - I concede that its a lot more complicated than I had set out - and undoubtedly you both raise valid issues. However, one point raised I'd have to disagree with - at least in relation to many cycle lanes/paths that have recently been constructed: the surface on these are tarmaced and often...

    Cyclists avoiding cycle lanes

    Not sure if this sort of thing has been raised before....but here goes: Why, oh, why do some cyclists insist on not using cycle lanes. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen a cyclist on the road, going up a hill, with a queue of cars waiting to overtake when, RIGHT NEXT to the...

    Woosh King Meter playing up?

    I took Nealh's advice and contacted Andy at Woosh Bikes. After trying a few things that Andy suggested, his hunch was that it was a faulty speed sensor. I ordered a replacement from him (less than £20) and....Eureka!......it sorted the problem. All now working again. Andy (and Woosh bikes in...

    Woosh King Meter playing up?

    Thanks for your advice. Not sure I have the technical ability (or equipment) to carry out those checks so, as a first step, I will try Andy at Woosh bikes.

    Woosh King Meter playing up?

    I had similar problem today after changing battery in King-Meter. Nothing else was different on the bike BUT the speed display remained on zero. My mileage seemed to be stuck but I noticed that, after travelling about 14 miles, the mileage had increased by 1! About 3 times on the ride, after...

    King-Meter LV error display?

    Great - thanks for that. I was worried it might be a (main) battery problem - but I can sort that out quite easily. Many thanks

    King-Meter LV error display?

    My Samsung 35v 15AH battery has "done" nearly 4000 miles. I confess that I havent used it very much over the winter. I went out on it today and when switched on the King-Mater J-LCD flashed the folowing 3 times before reverting to normal display: "LU" (I suspect this is the way the digital...
