    "Brompton weighs in on better battery laws to clamp down on eBike fires "

    Knee Jerk reaction I agree but on reflection. Unless we have very clever chargers (think PD usb c) then same sockets/plugs across multiple voltages is asking for trouble, isn't it ? I'm on Facebook groups about ebikes and battery building. It. Is. Terrifying This forum is like being in...

    New to e-bikes, considering Brompton conversion.

    I've failed to get anything helpful on the qiroll. This includes contacting them direct. I can find quick and vague you tube video showing a version running but it looks to interfere with the fold so pointless. Plus I think some custom bracket work would be involved. I'd take a punt and sort...

    I'm aware of this one coming https://boostbike.uk/projectlondon?gad_source=1 But untested and very expensive. And only works with 2 speed derailleur verison of a brommie. Not a IGH version like my m3l

    I can see that the motor won't kick in until the wheel speed hits a certain level. But as there is no pas sensor I suspect you are correct. Once the initial startup speed is met its a self full filling feedback loop

    They stay on for about 5 minutes after stopping cycling

    Thanks for your input all. Usually I would agree, lose the front dyno hub wheel and replace with hub motor. However, I have to carry the bike quite a bit on my multi mode commute . I simply won't be able to carry the brompton with a hub motor conversion on. This is my primary reason for...

    New to e-bikes, considering Brompton conversion.

    Loved reading through this as I look at my own options. I'm not keen to lose my dyno front hub and also can't really afford/justify the cost of getting my m3l down the 8.5kg starting weight you did. So I'm looking at finding out more on thr Qiroll friction drive. I've trawled web and asked...

    New planet x ebikes

    First time I've seen planet x ( and sister company On one) have their own branded ebikes. I know nothing about them and less about the brand of mid motor (particularly if they are self repairable or tied up in CANbus proprietary nonsense) Still I'm in bed with covid and find myself with time...

    Help! Pas in reverse

    Just to update you all, the 8 magnet sensor has solved all issues and bike works a dream. It is a conversion I did for mate with very limited funds. I had the motor wheel to donate and the battery I charged mates rates (and then some) for (it's 21ah of mj1 cella, used on 500w bbs02 but still...

    Ahh, it's seems I did buy one with 12 magnets. If that's the issue can you recommend me a replacement ?

    Help! Pas in reverse

    Thanks for your help. I'm really lost now Tried every single setting with magnet flipped each way. It only ever works backwards. It's really weird on some settings it works backwards no matter which way magnet ring is flipped!

    Help! Pas in reverse

    Hello All. I'm a bit flummoxed. Ive wired up a bafang front hub with kt controller. The pas sensor was a generic one and didn't come in same kit as kt lcd and controller. So the wire colours didn't match nor did the connector. The pas side is red,blue and yellow. The controller side is...
