Hello d8veh, I'm pleased to see you are still building amazing bespoke Ebikes. I've not looked in much on the forum lately. After completing 26,500 commuting miles on the Bearprint - more than the circumference of the earth - in October 2015 I bought a Xingyue XY150XK Vogue scooter to use...

That's a great distance, fabulous conversion as well d8veh.

Thanks for this. I have been waiting for Lidl's to get their Panniers back in - mine are a bit worn out now. Sadly no panniers in the link you gave. I bought the toolkit before but it is not waterproof and so did not keep very well. Cheers, Barry.

Hello everyone, I have bought one of these but have not used it yet. With my all weather commuting I have been trying to find a waterproof rain cover to wear with it but cannot find one yet. Does anyone know where a rain cover can be found to fit these skate board style helmets? Regards, Barry.

100% Commuting with a 26 mile round trip. 4 years on with 22,000 miles coming up soon I still love it! Barry.

Something I dislike in my area is the "traffic calming" where a dual lane road has been narrowed and funnelled into 1 lane with arrow signs showing whose right of way it is, usually they alternate each way. I believe this is inherently dangerous to funnel cars into a potential head on collision...

Wow that's really impressive! Thanks for posting and lovely pictures too. During my 26 mile daily work commute I have thought about Ebike touring but dismissed it as not practical with current battery distances. Your making it work has made me rethink the idea. Very well done! Barry.

I used a couple of the Lidl puncture repair cannisters on a puncture but sadly each one only lasted about 50 metres before the tyre deflated again. I replaced the inner tube then but as flecc said the tube gunk does mess up the inside of the tyre and needed to be wiped out. Overall my experience...

Well I haven't visited the forum as much as I should have recently but I have found this thread very interesting. I sympathise with the OP's problems but my impression of Woosh and Hatti purely from reading posts here is that they are a good company and Hatti is a very likeable, humorous and...

LOL! This reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Homer is dressed like Krusty the Clown and does the Loop de Loop on a miniature bicycle!?! :-)

My maximum speed has been 43mph I think, my bike actually seems pretty solid at this speed. I would love to be a member of the 50mph club but have no suitable hills where I live.

d8veh you should remember this after you kindly posted that replacement battery key barrel to me last year!?! I am in Street, Somerset. With todays predicted 25 mph headwinds coming home from work I charged my battery at work to avoid any cut out. Best wishes, Barry.

Hello 289, I was alternating between the 2 batteries but disappointingly my Chinese battery began dying out about 2 miles from home and won't do my 26 mile commute on one charge. Since then I have been using the warranty replacement and have done maybe 11,000 miles with it. Recently this too has...

Off topic for the Ebike theme I know. But I bought a new laptop for my daughter with Windows 8 for Christmas - my first exposure with it - out of the box I found pretty much unusable and incredibly frustrating. There were annoying corner pop-ups continually covering up what I was trying to...

Hello Eaglerider, Thanks for your post. My Bearprint is still going well at the moment with the replacement 16AH battery which Bearprint supplied under warranty just before they closed down. I have had the bike 3 years last 20.10.13. I must get around to posting a summary of my ownership. While...

I thought that the wires for the onboard lights from the controller would some how be a smaller voltage but I am just guessing really. What other 36v suitable LED lights are available? Anyone got any experience or product links? Thanks, Barry.

Hello d8veh, Thanks for your post. I have one of those Cree T6 chinese lights and it is brilliant. Cars think a motor bike is coming their way and nearly aways dip their lights at night time. What I am after is a replacement permanent light to replace the funny plastic chrome finished Berprint...

Hello everyone, My Bearprint front LED headlight powered from the main battery has started to fail. I need to replace it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement? It has a 2 core cable connector. I do not know what voltage the light uses - 6v? or 12v? - my understanding of...

I thought about a full face helmet for winter riding but never found one that was light weight and looked ok. The few I found seemed to have awful styling and to be aimed at young off road hooligans. Even something with a built-in visor for the eyes would have been nice. Maybe there is a market...

Thanks Mrke, Has to be worth a look. Barry.
