    Charging batteries question.

    Greetings. This is actually about an electric scooter I have - but I am assuming the technology is the same as on a bike - well I am guessing there are plenty of people here who will have an idea how to help me (I also do own and use a very nice Haibike electric bike which I claim as my...

    Question about battery swap

    I have a scooter with 2x 12V lead-acid batterys in it. They don't last very long so I was thinking of swapping them over to lithium ion batterys instead (even though they're 6 times more expensive but I am fed up of these lead-acid ones dying on me). My question - can I use the same charger or...

    Help with new controller.

    Good afternoon fellow pedelecers. I am trying to get a new controller to work with my bike - the old controller when on PAS mode would surge ahead almost uncontrollably - so I was advised by somebody here to get a 'KT' controller and a KT-LCD5. Which I've done. But here's the problem: The...

    What volts should I be getting and across which wires?

    Good morning all, So I just got one of our bikes out of hibernation - I'd brought the battery inside a couple of weeks ago but it may have been through a couple of very cold nights in the shed before I did so. Now that I am trying to charge it the battery charger is showing a green light which...

    Hello and greetings. I have now purchased a new controller and new throttle for my scooter - but its not clear which wire goes to which. Davey? Anybody? If anybody has any ideas please let me know. Thanks. (Coming out of the controller are three wires - red black and blue - going into the...

    Interesting.

    An article in the FT no less - about Brompton about to make an electric folder. Things might be moving forward....... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8b2bce62-bd1a-11e4-9902-00144feab7de.html?siteedition=uk#axzz3T1WlAphj

    Adding another battery.....

    Hi there. I bet one of you can answer this real quick.... I have an electric scooter I just bought - first thing I did of course was take it apart to see how it all fits together. Like you do. So it is 24V. It has two batteries and the four wires from these go separately into the...

    Do you think I need a new cassette?

    So...... about 6 months ago something started jumping out of gear when the bike was in top (11T) - this is on my haibike - the problem seemed to go away if I cleaned the chain thoroughly and lubed it up well. Well now it jumps out of gear quite a bit - but only in top - I can't tell for sure...

    Staying with my Haibike...

    Well I got my license back about 4 months ago. After losing it for a long time for being very bad. And in that time I got me a very smart Haibike (see below) - as some of you will remember as I posted quite a bit about it at the time. Martin fixed me up (with one of those dongles too - darn...

    Anybody noticed this?

    On Ebay - the guy does not exactly have a great FB score - but he seems to have some brand new Haibikes looking like they may go for not a great deal - here's one he has: here

    This looks interesting.

    Looks interesting. Any thoughts anybody? I was wondering what the battery spec is - etc - not found that info yet - its got to be there somewhere...... I like the idea that its all controlled from your phone - no more wires - and so easy to fit - literally just change the back wheel...

    Doesn't look too bad at the price.

    Considering the kit on it this seems half decent - all things considered..... as in a half decent electric bike for under £1K - even though its legality is seriously debatable. Here.

    Anybody know anything about this bike?

    Looks nice. Under 15kg. Very cool looking battery (though no security on it is a major problem for me). Generally looks pretty good though. I've seen non-carbon frame ones like this same make 17kg for around £1200. Anybody know anything about them? Here.

    New creation - and a question.

    Hello all. Long time no speak - been putting some miles down on the Haibike (EQ Enduro FS - great great bike btw) - but my GF was continually complaining the Burisch was too big for her and would I make her a smaller electric bike please. So - see attached for my creation. I got the...

    Review of the Haibike FS AM

    My review of the Haibike FS AM. (a more formal review rather than just about how it impressed the boy's at my local Evan's store - which I already posted about). First off when you see this bike in the flesh - well I was truely impressed with the engineering. Its a class act. Look at any...
