In my first post I did say I didn't want to tread on toes... ..hides under bedcovers with ak47s and a big box of ammo :-)

Just back from a 2.5 hour ride. I love being able to ride again. I am not sure if my arse hurts more from cycling or my face from smiling. Anyway, I switched over on a bit of private land and I got an error code 503. At last I feel like one of the gang! Made no difference to the boost and left...

I heard a rumour the other day that some car drivers exceed the speed limits. Apparently that is okay because the limits take no account of conditions, the user or anything specific to the situation! Thank god the eBike limit has such a great founding in international law and the fundamentals...

Or you could save £140 and do what I have done. It works in the same way but doesn't invalidate your warrenty. Anyway, I only wanted to share my way of successfully doing it. I am not suggesting you have to do it. It is Friday and sunny I think I shall leave the internet and go for a ride (at...

This could be fun...

Give me a minutes and I will post some clearer pictures. I don't mind if it is possible or not, as long as it continues to work for me :-)

I am not aware of any crank speed sensor and from the results I get (on private land) I suspect not. Latest bike, motor, computer and everything. Not sure how that would work anyway as Bosch don't control the gears you run so a 1:1 ratio would be possible anyway

No need to change anything about wheel size for my modification, simply move the sensor and magnet

I have just bought a Scott eGenius 720 Plus. Latest Bosch CX motor and 500Wh battery. Very impressed so far. Have you considered the 650B Plus tyres? They are quite a bit fatter/wider than normal mountain bike tyres. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing in snow but they seem to float...

I don't know but I would guess... ...they are basically similar but put out different power. I have two iPad chargers, one charges my iPad in about an hour the other takes about 4... ...better chargers have some anti-spike / surge protection built in... ...really cheap ones will have rubbish...

20kw you be going 140mph ;) And as long as you stick a sticker on the side saying 250W nominal it will be legal, right? ;-) That is my understanding of the law and if it is incorrect then that is not my fault officer...

This is a bike event / beer festival / music festival I created about 8 years ago. It is still running strong and this year I hope to be able to ride again after 3 years injured off the bike. http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk/ There is nothing specifically electric about it on the website but the...

Three hip replacements You are "Jake the Peg" and I claim my £5 :-) Sorry. If it is any consolation I have more than the average number of legs but less that the average number of ankles

Hi, not sure what you are saying in your last post. Because the computer uses my pedalling cadence to calculate speed if I slow the pedalling down the speed display will drop quicker than the real speed. I can roll down a hill at a fair pace with the speedo reading zero. The 7.6=28 was...

It is quite simple. The computer counts how long between the times the magnet passes the sensor. It is programmed to calculate the speed based on the wheel size. Bigger or slower wheels will affect the accuracy of this calculation exactly as they do on your car. The other option is to reduce...

The Bosch software update fixed this http://ebikeee.com/2012/01/03/bosch-engine-tuning-at-home/ It did not fix my solution. My solution uses the standard hardware in the standard manner so the software isn't aware of it. The computer is being told that you are riding at 6mph so is happy...

Try a bigger magnet or reposition the sensor. The sensor it triggered when the magnet passes. There is no electronic intelligence in that bit. It is just a switch that sends the signal back to the computer. The error code you get is probably saying the computer is not getting anything back...

You must have put some effort in. Other than smiling through the pain and refusing to accept the amputation, not really. Just sat back eating Tramadol and Tamazapan washed down with beer and wine. Now 4 stone heavier than I was but hoping to lose that over the summer. Being clear of the pain...

i get a error code when i tried it on mine? Make sure you tape the sensor the right way round. The same side should face the magnet so it needs to be flipped 180 degrees
