Well it's been a few years since I posted anything here but I've returned for some wisdom if anyone can help. In short....does anyone know how to change an Ezee Mk2 kit from 48v setting to 36v, without access to a 48v battery? Lengthy version.....i set my kit to 48v and used it happily like...

Selling my Ezee 700 rim conversion kit. This is the MK2 motor with the later controller and control panel. Not an entire kit as I used my own custom made battery which I'm keeping. I have decided to take it off my hybrid bike as I no longer use this for commuting and so just want to use my bike...

Hoping for some help.... I have a Mk2 Ezee kit which has been pretty good for a fair few miles but has developed a problem. As soon as you turn it on the motor turns; not especially fast but it's still dangerous. The pedelec sensor doesn't work but the throttle still does. This is not a...

My Cellman Lifepo4 A123 pack seems to be dying. It's a 16S 6P A123 pack which is now just over a year old with 3-400 cycles on it. It has suddenly lost about 30-40% capacity. Any thoughts? Faulty cell? Badly balanced? Thanks in advance, Ben

So what fun today; just pulling away from the lights on my Brompton at the Imax roundabout at Waterloo and SNAP, chain broken. Slightly restored my opinion of car drivers who all had to wait as I scrabbled around for the chain and hobbled off the road whilst holding everybody up....no beeps or...

I want to fit a remote temperature sensor to monitor my controller temperature. Can anyone recommend a cheap compact digital thermometer with a thermocouple I can stick to my controller case? I'd like to mount a small digital display to the handlebars. I do worry that my ezee controller gets...

So this crappy weather has finally taken it's toll on my poor little Brompton. Even with regular cleaning the bearing in the folding pedal sounds like it's got 10 tonnes of grit inside it. Today it was seized totally until I jetted half a can of WD40 into it! Question - is there any way to...

So....its snowy and slippery here in London and I just came off my Brompton. NOT because of the snow, a flippin white van just took me out! Ripped trousers and a grazed leg, bike seems ok thank god. :(

Been working hard and away from the forum for some time. For any interested parties I wanted to give an update on my Crystalyte powered electric Brompton. I have just passed 4000 miles in 8 months which I think speaks for itself really. Not wishing to tempt fate but touch wood it's still...

I'm wondering if anybody has come across this chinese supplier before? The 24V Bafang motor should be useable in my Brompton front wheel at 36 or 48V to give legal max speed. Any thoughts? Bafang SWXK5 front hub motor 24V 250W-ecopedelec.com Also, can anyone tell me the difference between...

I want to add brake stop switches to my Ezee hybrid conversion (hydraulic brakes). The issue is that the 2012 Ezee kit has 3 wire hall effect switches rather than the usual simple 2 wire on/off switches. Is there any way to wire up a simple on/off switch to the controller to make it work? I...

Just cycled the Brompton 30 night-time miles through the Surrey lanes to get home after a long shift (missed the last train)...saw a ridiculous amount of wildlife. Mice, voles, owls, 3 deer, 2 foxes and a badger carrying a dead fox down the road which he dropped and ran off when startled. The...

I use my electric Brompton every day to commute to London but I have realised that I do not always need a folding bike on the train due to my shifts and the fact that I often travel out of rush hour when a full sized bike could be used and be faster and more comfortable on the potholed roads...

Not ever having used an electric bike with a 48v battery before I'm amazed at the potential range from my 14Ah lifepo4 battery. I have not yet had the time or inclination to actually run it flat yet and confirm maximum range but at some point I will. According to the Cycle Analyst I am using...

An annoying squeek from my front wheel turns out to be 3 loose spokes on my new Crystalyte wheel. What is the most likely cause of spokes becoming loose after 6/700 miles from new? 1) Poor wheel build 2) High torque from the motor 3) Regenerative braking 4) Normal for a new wheel? I have...

Juicybike Sport 2010 model, now surplus to requirements. Uprated brake calipers Avid BB5 mechanical. It has brand new Schwalbe marathon plus smartguard tyres, new tubes, upgraded rim tape and full mudguards (I got a puncture and made it as puncture proof as possible!) The battery is the...

Not only did I miss my train to get to work last night....upon arriving in London, running late I jumped on the Brompton ready to go speeding off...all seemed fine but then it kept cutting out on me. Then I rembered I'd re-programmed the controller LVC for my new battery earlier in the day and...

I am increasing the gearing on my Brompton M3l as it is too low with my electric conversion, cadence is too high. I have ordered a 54 tooth chainring and 100 link chain. According to the Brompton website I can also go from 13T to 12T on the rear sprocket with the 100L chain...

I've noticed that my Brompton front wheel with Crystalyte motor has not been built particularly true. It's straight enough but it's not completely round...kind of like a minor jalopy effect. I've had a little look at how to fix wheels and it seems I should loosen spokes on the low point and...

Background Ok for those who haven’t seen my other posts on this subject I need a bike to commute 10 reasonably hilly miles to a station, fold small enough to then go on a busy London commuter train and then take me another 3-4 miles at the other end to get to work. I want an electric bike to do...
