    Cute Q70 motor for Brompton... which rim?

    I have a kit I bought from a UK supplier, which is great. But this weekend (after 4000 miles service) the front wheel broke at the brake rim. I guess it got thin over time after all the service it's given. So this is not a complaint thread. However, I need to get this fixed ASAP as I use it for...

    HL Battery with 4 terminals

    On my HL downtube battery there are 4 terminals. The outer two terminals are giving out ~41V at the moment. But the inner pair of terminals show nothing. Is this correct? What are the inner two for?

    Testing my HL battery

    Hi there :) I bought a kit from you some years back with a 17AH 36V HL type battery. This has provided great service and I have covered 3500 miles according to the odometer. I also bought a Brompton kit from you (minus the frog style battery) about 2 or 3 years ago and just fitted a new cradle...

    Problem with King-Meter head unit LCD

    The little digital unit is playing up on my e-bike. It's a basic/early model that just says King-Meter in bottom right and J-LCD in top left. The bike just wouldn't turn on at all after a long layoff. Now it's not the battery because I have another bike that shares the same HL-battery and I just...

    Charging an ebike from a leisure battery?

    I'm going camping in September to the New Forest. Planning on going for 5 nights when I visit the autojumble and will be staying on a site with no electric hook up. Although I'm not new to camping I am a noob when it comes to leisure batteries, ebikes, solar panels etc. I want to be as self...

    Woosh C70 Brompton conversion

    Just received and installed my Brompton kit from Woosh today for my B75. Before I go any further I want to stress that I bought a kit from them without battery. This was because I wanted to use my existing 17AH HL battery I got in a kit from them over two years ago for my Cube MTB conversion...

    What's the latest with Brompton kits?

    Bought a Brompton B75 just before Christmas with the aim of fitting a kit to it. But of course the virus situation has put paid to that somewhat. Just wondered if there were any available kits out there that can be bought now? I've got a bit sick of waiting actually. I know Woosh have a kit...

    Brompton conversion... would this Whoosh kit work?

    I currently have a Whoosh BPM 350W kit fitted to a mountain bike. I'm thinking of swapping it over to a Brompton using a Nano electric 250W front wheel. For now I just want to establish if this is possible, forget about fitting and foldability. This is just an idea. I don't know much about the...

    BPM power surges

    Got my kit all installed and sorted with pedal assist working. Really happy with how it works and rides. I have 5 assist levels and have found that level 1 seems like it's not there. It's probably very faint and my 95kgs might be a defining variable. Level 2 is just about discernible. Level 3 is...

    Problem with PAS sensor

    Bought a BPM kit for my Giant Escape. Going to the lake district tomorrow and was hoping to have the bike ready for then. It does run on throttle but this PAS has given me a headache. Original PAS was a little round left hand side mounting unit with a small ring of magnets. This didn't fit the...

    BPM rear hub squeaking

    My new BPM rear hub is sqeaking a lot. Wasn't really apparent much on the road but when on the bike stand and adjusting the derailleur the squeaking was constant. Spins fine though, no drag. Is this an installation issue? Too tight in the forks? Greased the chain and some WD40 but no...

    I need to lose 1 gear on the rear

    Bit of a n00b question. Dunno if this can be done properly or not. Just installed a BPM rear hub kit to my Giant Escape. I knew beforehand that the free wheel in the kit had only 8 sprockets. My bike had a 9 sprocket cassette so I was losing 1 gear. I can go up and down the gears OK but of...

    About to take the plunge... final advice please

    About to order a rear 350W BPM kit with 20 amp controller and 36V / 17AH battery. Buying kit from a reputable dealer as I want some backup. This is my first build. It's going into a Giant Escape 1 model. I test rode Oxygen S-Cross CB and Wisper SE bikes today and I liked them both. Oxygen a bit...

    Which Bafang kit?

    I bought a Carrera Crossfire bike from Cycle Republic last August and was disappointed when the battery cut out twice on me in the first fortnight of use. So I returned it and got a full refund (fair do's to CR they didn't quibble at all). I then bought a second hand nearly new standard bike...

    What are my rights with faulty e-bike?

    I haven't even had the bike a week... a Carrera Crossfire e-bike that was bought new from Cycle Republic store last week. Need to use it on a daily basis and so far it has cut out on me twice. I've just had a 30 min. walk up a long climb home and I'm not happy! I've lost all confidence in the...

    Is an ebike for me?

    Hi there :) I'm new to the forum and thinking about buying an ebike. I'm 50 this year and will be starting a short commute in a few months into Leeds city centre. It's around 6 miles each way. Half on road, half on tow path. Downhill and flat on the way in. But coming back is where an ebike...
