Hi All, I installed a Swytch on my Mum's bike. Mum love's it, and blow me, after years of trying to persuade my wife to let me covert her bike without success, after one ride on my mum's bike she's sold. Thing is, her curvy ladies frame doesn't have a suitable point to mount a conventional...

Hi All, I'm converting my Mum's Islabike Joni. Its the perfect bike for her has it has a super-low step through. However this does mean that it is very thick tubing around the bottom bracket because there is no crossbar. Its currently stuck on with two self-adhesive foam pads. There is no...

Hi All, I started out with a Q100C rear wheel with a S06S/S-LCD6 controller, but upgraded to a Q128C for a bit more speed. This was a few years ago now. Everything has been great and I couldn't be more pleased with the set up. I had the bare Q128 motor build into a wheel by my excellent local...

Hi All, I left the bike with about 50pc SoC, but coming back to the bike after a much longer than expected break I saw that I had left the charger lead in (I'd think I'd given it a just a little top up and must have just switched it off at the plug). I could easily be 6 months - I had a lot...

This is sort of ebike related as its on an ebike, but feel free to send me off to a general bike maintenance forum.... When I converted my Dawes Sonoran last year I changed the 11-34 8 speed cassette for a 11-30 figuring that I wouldn't need the lower gears. After a few hundred miles of riding...

Hi all, I have a S06S/S-LCD6 controller/LCD. I've just invested in an ebay 12-85V led light after my battery light plunged me in to darkness on a steep downhill on a country lane on the way home from work.. It comes with a separate handlebar mounted switch, but the wiring is not long enough to...

It had never occurred to me until I saw a comment on another thread that an ebike battery would not be waterproof. Not sure if the link/image below will come out, but its a downtube battery with a round connector on to the removable battery. I can supply actual photos if it would help. The...

Hi All, I've completed my 17.5 mile each way commute a few times now on my Dawes Sonoran conversion. Its Q100C rear wheel with a S06S/S-LCD6 controller/display. The motor was specified as 201 RPM. Power is from a 36V battery which seems to be performing well - yesterday after 35 miles voltage...

Hi team, I don't necc. have a problem, but I'm intrigued as to whether my suspiciously cheap 17ah battery really is such. I thought I'd plug in my energy meter to see how much it uses. When it started it was only drawing about 1A and once it had finished (actaully 12hrs later) it has drawn 0.5...

Hi All, I bought a Q100C pre-built wheel - after first test ride of a few hundred yards I noticed a sound that made me think a cable-tie end was tinkling the spokes. Couldn't see anything but at least had the presence of mind to pluck the spokes (better late than never) - two were less than...

Hi All, Finally had the time today to set up my BMSB kit: SO6S controller, LCD6, Q100C 201RPM PAS is "Dual Hall Sensor D12 Signals Easy Installation PAS" https://bmsbattery.com/home/837-dual-hall-sensor-d12-signals-easy-installation-pas.html Throttle spins the wheel nicely - brake sensor...

Tonights job - checking the connectors match up to the components I've ordered. I still have one connector unused which does not show up in the picture on the product page. It has black and yellow wires with a white female connector with 2x long thin spades inside. The diagram (would link to...

My conversion 'kit' of parts from BMSBattery arrived today (not bad - ordered 10 days earlier). Silly question: The nut on the CST side of the hub - does that need to stay where it is on the inside end of the axle ? I'm going to offer the wheel up to the bike tonight - see if they get on...

Hi All, I have a Dawes Sonoran which I've had for around 15 year - very happy with it. I use it fairly regularly for leisure, short journeys and very occasionally 20-40 mile weekend jaunt. I'm hoping to start commuting around 10 miles each way with it. Bike has 3x8 speed with combined...

Hi All, I was vaguely thinking of buying a conversion kit for my dawes hybrid bike - I looked at a couple - cyclotricity and panda. Having now lurked for a few days on this forum trying to read as many threads as I can I realise there is a lot to learn about the subject - sine wave vs square...

Nice to meet you all (so to speak). I'm fascinated by the idea of an e-bike, but I'm not sure yet that I can justify it. I drive a plug in hybrid car, and my commute doesn't quite get me there and back on battery (gap is about 10 miles round trip). Sometimes I take my Dahon folder in the boot...
