Ah, that was my final question. I could automate this using the Tasker app on my phone, so in theory I could just click one button to arm it and another to disarm it.

I have zero knowledge of this kind of thing Stuart, but it sounds like the kid of thing I would need. Ideally, I would just want: - No GPS, No alarm - Press a button when I park my bike - Motion sensor kicks in when someone tries to steal it - Alert gets sent via LoRa to a small receiver I...

This was what I was looking for originally, just something that sent an SMS, so no mobile data or subscription costs etc. I assume you would need credit on the SIM though (which is fine) but does this expire if it's not used within a certain time?

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for, being a new paranoid bright blue Orbea ebike owner! I leave my bike at a gym approx 150 metres away for up to 90 mins. When I went to purchase a alarm/notification device, I naturally assumed that there would be some way of alerting my...

Perfect! Thanks for that, this seems to work!

I have a new Orbea Vibe H10. It has the tiny 'iwoc' controller with no display, just a rough battery light. I hookup my phone via bluetooth and run the MAHLE app and it shows me power level, speed and remaining battery percentage. This is great, but of course when I load my Komoot navigation...

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for that!

Perfect, thanks for this info. The 18 miles was actually accounting for range anxiety so hopefully get a slightly smaller/lighter/cheaper battery too. Essentially I want to do a 20-30 mile round trip every week, and use the battery on hills so perhaps will only use about 3-4 miles of the...

The Swytch Max is 3.1Kg with the front wheel (1.5Kg), battery (1.1kg) and mount. Only 18 mile range, but perfect for me. I like this, but with delivery it's £574 and only available in 4-5 months. I want something similar weight/range wise but with a bottle battery instead. I can't seem to...

I converted a mid range hybrid a couple of years back with a Cyclotricity rear wheel kit and 36v/11aH rack battery. The bike runs fine, but is just about unusable when the battery is dead as it's simply too heavy. All the weight at the back isn't good either. Just found out that the rack...

Thanks, I am just using what was supplied by Cyclotricity, I have no idea about any of these kits. I naturally assumed that whatever they have sold me would unlock the 500W motor to it's full potential as advertised, but there is little difference after unlocked.

Their LCD is the KT-LCD1 (or that's what it says on the instructions) I will check the controller tonight. I am actually happy with the performance of the 250W motor, but struggled to see any difference with their supplied 500W upgrade kit despite their claims. I may just install the small LED...

Thanks for this. Their 250W/500W rear wheel drive kit is heavier than their 250W front drive kit, but their marketing speak suggests that there is much more power when the 500W kit is unlocked. I am going to convert another bike for a friend and wonder if I should just buy the lighter front...

Hi all, I have a 250W/500W Cyclotricity rear wheel drive conversion and was impressed with the 250W power using the restricted LED. 16-17mph ish on a straight with throttle only. My partner never really needed more than power assist level 1 for PAS unless going up hill. Just unlocked to 500W...

Ah, didn't think of that regarding the throttle sticking on ;-) Yes, agreed, to be honest if I can swap the shifters I will just install the supplied brake levers with the cut offs. I will take a look for some shifters now. Thanks.

Just installed my 250W/500W kit and have integrated gear/brake levers on my 7 speed hybrid so can't install the brake levers/sensors that come with the kit to cut off the motor. FIRST QUESTION! I rode the bike for about 30 mins and can't really see the need for the brake sensors. When I need...

That was EXACTLY it!

Thanks all. Turns out that one of my drop outs needed filing as the axle wasn't quite in all the way. After doing this it aligned ok. Just tried my 250w/500w from Cyclotricity and get power to the LED, but nothing to the motor... now going to start troubleshooting. - I assume that the LED...

Hey Jim, I am just fitting my 500w Cyclotricity rear setup same as yours. I have managed to add enough washers for the cog to clear the frame but have noticed that my wheel is quite badly offset to the frame. Is yours the same? I have v-brakes and they don't line up because the wheel is not...

I have asked these of the Cyclotricity team but it looks as though they are too busy at the moment to answer which is fair enough. Thought I would get a quicker response from the forum! I would like to order my 250w/500w kit today ideally. - My brake levers are integrated into the gears...
