Woohoo... I'm voting for you (not strictly needed in a dictatorship but never mind). I'd have nice quiet roads on my 11 mile commute, although I do like my cross country cycle instead of driving

The throttle is only mentioned on the 750w version so looks looks cheaper version is pedelec only. Interesting marketing though as if they are going for pedelec spec which cuts off at 15ish mph then listing potential speed over 25mph may leave some people disappointed if that is only for fit...

Didn't realise they did a version of the twizy with 4 legs. The legality of the trike isn't an issue, it was more about how a cycle wheeled vehicle faster than a moped fits into mot regs which don't currently have a defined class for it. For example, the twizy is much easier as it's got car...

Sorry, my knowledge of current and how it effects circuits with brushed or brushless motors ranges from non-existent all the way to vague. Can you explain in numpty terms how this changes the goalposts with regard to the switch? Flecc, thanks for the link, unfortunayely I can't work out which...

I love the idea of this but not sure how it will fit in with UK law, I've just been having a look at MOT requirements for quadricycles and it doesnt really fit into any catagory. Tyres for example: Tricycles with an unladen weight not exceeding 410kg and an engine capacity greater than 50cc...

Saw that on the BBC site earlier, looks like a great bit of kit but it does raise a few issues. As it's faster than a legal e-bike I assume it can't use cycle lanes, its wide enough that you can't easily get through traffic and then where do you park it, it certainly wouldn't fit in any bike...

Unfortunately this is a relic from the past (2009 vintage) so I don't have any details of where it was sourced from (came as part of the Alien Ocean kit). NealH, thanks for the suggestions ref the connectors, when I get more time this evening I'll put together what I do know to narrow down the...

Pic in case that helps identify anything useful

Just been and disconnected the controller, doesn't seem to help much, connectors are only labelled with numbers so nothing meaningful. It's an MSK301 apparently but i can't find any info on Google. Can't remember if this kit originally came with brake cut out, so not sure where i could put a...

Thanks for all the answers, I'll get some of the 14AWG wire order as a start, together with some connectors. Will go and take the controller off this evening so I can have a better look at what connections I have. One thing I did wonder is if as well as using the dean connectors, I could use...

Hi, Ordered a Hailong battery to replace the failed one on an old ebike kit, only to realise that I now don't have an on/off switch in the circuit. I do want to modify the existing wiring on the bike to tidy it up so I can add in a switch at some point on the circuit (preferably on the battery...

I've been having a look for batteries and was interested in the 36v 15ah bottle battery from Woosh bikes. Whats put me off is that if I buy it for a non-woosh bike there is no warranty offered - so £345 seems like a good price, unless I have any problems then its an expensive paperweight. I...

Thanks for the ideas, I'll have a look at re-celling to see if it can give as much capacity as replacing the battery. I do like the idea of a downtube battery, unfortunately due tot he fact the bike is a step through I don't think it will be feasible to fit in the available space whilst keeping...

Hi, My girlfriend is using an old Alien Oceon kit I originally bought for my dad and has been in light use for many years. Needless to say the battery has seen better days, to the point where it won't manager her 4 miles commute (she has MS so needs the boost the kit gives to help avoid...
