    Need a new charger !

    The rain on Tuesday got into my charger and it's dead! It was a Sans Electronics 42v at 1.8a - I have tried 8fun (now called eccomobile) but they have no old stock. Any ideas on how to source a suitable replacement? The DC plug / socket looks like a TV ariel - anybody know what that is called...

    Another battery question

    Browsing DX I found this:- Replacement 22.2V 25C 3300mAh Lithium Battery Pack for R/C Helicopter - Free Shipping - DealExtreme It's described as a 22.2V 25C 3300mAh Lithium Battery Pack but I'm still very shaky on Ah and mAh - how many of these would I need to make a 44V pack with a reasonable...

    Too heavy for a 700c wheel?

    Thanks OK good - thanks for the advice. I'm going to get professional assistance, have the wheel checked out and explore 'high pressure tape' Thanks again ;)

    Too heavy for a 700c wheel?

    This is a about a pedelec but is more a general cycle question. I have now been through 6 different inner tubes and two tyres - I cannot manage more than two return journeys without a rear flat! :( I am 18 stone and riding a Dawes hybrid with a Sunlova kit that places the battery over the...

    Inner Tubes

    They go bigger too..... I'm using 700c 38 inners on my Big Apple 60-622 without issues (so far) :cool:

    Cheap Lipo4 from China

    That's the sort of thing I was thinking of - what does it weigh?

    Cheap Lipo4 from China

    Very low capacity? I only use my bike back and forth to the railway station - 4 miles each way with a big hill in the way. I have a 10Ah battery - this seems to be overkill. Is it possible,do you think, to ask for a 2/3 Ah battery?

    Replacement for a 8Fun controller ?

    Thanks all, particularly Frank - sounds like I need a 48v battery not an uprated controller. :D

    Replacement for a 8Fun controller ?

    Would this:- 36V 350W brushless controller for E - bike & scooter - eBay (item 300371271592 end time Nov-21-10 05:49:19 PST) make a good replacement for the 15amp controller that came with my Sunlova kit - I'm hoping to trade range for speed. The illustrated connectors look fairly similar...

    My bike is too hard

    another vote for big apples - watch the clearance though - the 60 profile really do balloon the 50's seem a good compromise :)

    Help!! My sunlova kit stopped working!

    key i would think the key is the on/off switch - mine has 3 positions the last one being power on.

    Sensor Required

    THAT's what that was for :D I couldn't work out why that was in my kit!

    Water bottle battery

    The Bafang '250W' with a 36v 9amp pretty much results in an electric moped - but if you do the power calculations you can see why. :D

    Rear Disc retrofit - should I Bother?

    I recently came off my bike (and broke a wrist) and one of the reasons was a lack of brake power. I have a converted Dawes and it has disc fitments on the rear but a non disc rear wheel. The front conversely has my 8 fun hub motor with disc fittings but a standard fork without calliper...

    Casco emotion helmets

    Visors? I too am looking for a hat following a recent 'incident' - I would like a visor to keep the rain out of my eyes though - does anybody know of such a cycle hat? :confused:

    DIY components / kits

    The Sunlova kits that use the 8fun motor are also disc compatible for a front disc :D

    Using the Cycle Analyst

    No I'm sure the Bafangs dodn't have hall sensors - or rather I'm sure the one I have is sensor-less

    Using the Cycle Analyst

    1st things first I think the first question is 'do they do a controller that will control the 250w Bafang motor?' - most of the motors they use have hall sensors etc. I note they do a version for any controller / motor but that version specifically states it can't do the 'extras' such a...
