    What lights have you got?

    And there was me thinking that you'd have Wembley stadium floodlights on your bike soundwave.

    What lights have you got?

    I'm running a Moon Meteor X Pro. Fairly small footprint on the handlebars. Amazing amount of light for the size, especially on highest setting. Battery lasts ok, but I've got the older model and I think they've upgraded runtime and light output on the newer model: Moon Meteor X Pro

    In-line wire connectors, what a great idea :)

    Now I don't know if I'm late to the party, but I saw a YouTube video today, showing a neat little product for joining wires together: The actual one I'm on about is around the 4 minute mark in the video and is this product at B and Q...

    Bit dramatic SW :D

    BBSO1B 36V 500W controller?

    As guerney mentions, set the 'Keep Current' to 100% on the PAS page of the software, if you haven't done so already.

    BBSO1B 36V 500W controller?

    I know this isn't answering your question directly, but have you considered programming your existing controller for a bit more oomph? The programming cable and other useful BBS mid drive items can be found in this thread...

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Scaremongering headlines. I will eat my own face if that ever gets greenlit in parliament ;)

    Is the Perry Ehopper a good ebike?

    6.4Ah is pretty poor for a battery, IMHO, it'll be dead within a year.

    Is the Perry Ehopper a good ebike?

    At the end of the day, the battery is usually the most expensive cost of an electric bike. Even if it's made up of non branded cells. So expect a fairly mediocre bike at that price. My first ever bike was a Cyclamatic. I think I purchased it for something like 400 quid, but we're talking years...

    Best 1500w motors?

    Bafang BBSHD would be a good reliable choice, but I'm guessing you're after a hub motor and not mid drive?

    20mph Speed Limit for Wales next year ?

    Boris won't go for that, we've been Brexited. Oh no, I forgot, the twat's not PM anymore :D

    20mph Speed Limit for Wales next year ?

    Just a shame 99% of drivers will take absolutely no notice of that speed limit, unless there's a speed camera on a particular stretch of road. Plenty of 20mph speed zones up here and I've yet to witness anyone abide by them :oops:

    I rode a hog and I liked it :)

    I had another cheeky go. Bit longer this time. I had forgotten how much more relaxing a hub motor is, compared to a mid drive. Cyclamatic and MAC rear hub, before my BBS02. As much as I love a mid drive for the ability to power up most hills, a hub motor is literally fire and forget, until you...

    Does anyone commute to work all year round?

    As in south of England? I'm in the urrrrm, sunny north :oops:

    Does anyone commute to work all year round?

    Thinking of ditching the car and commuting the 7 miles to work. Will buy a UK legal electric bike for this task. Does anyone here commute all year round? If so, are harsh winters doable, or not recommended? Plus, any other advice would be most welcome.

    I rode a hog and I liked it :)

    How'd you find the mechanical brakes. Do you find they fade or require regular adjustments?

    I rode a hog and I liked it :)

    Ha ha, before you all start complaining to the administrator or RSPCA, it's actually an electric bike. This one in fact: Powerhog Electric Bike My friend bought one last month and I persuaded him to come out on part of the C2C, mainly so I could have a go actually :cool: Considering it's at...

    Best kit for mostly off road commute

    If it were me, I would go for a mid drive like the Bafang BBS01 250w. You can utilize the gearing to haul you and the bike up the hills. I think a 250w hub motor would struggle! Also, it is easier to repair a puncture with a mid drive, as you take the wheel off like any normal push bike. Hub...

    Help! Bafang BBS02 shutting down

    Although not an ideal solution, you could use a programming cable to limit the maximum current drawn from the battery. This may extend your ride time until the battery cuts out, but will blunt performance somewhat.
