We have bought two of these batteries, purchased on a Wednesday from B&Q, you can get 10% extra off, if you are 60 or over. Makes them more of a bargain. I have a plan to use a 5 mm plastic kitchen chopping board to mount them on. Will use 5 layers and arrange them so that it has a pair of...

Dear d8veh My post loaded before I was ready - I agree its not very clear. Will take some pictures and load them tomorrow

Have not got throttle

I have got the sensor very close to the ring and am rotating it the correct way. The flashing LED is mounted on the mother board, I think it is normal for it to flash. The bike was working with this flashing. The reason I bought a new controller was that the LED stopped flashing. I have...

Hello All My bike has been going graet for 18 months, then started to have intermittent fault. I use it as a pedelec and do not have a throttle. I took the cover off the controller and could see when the motor was working there was an internal LED that was flashing. So I purchased...

Dear Tony Have you thought of converting your existing bike. I did lasy year. I live in Halesowen and work in Wombourne. The kit cost £400 amd was fairly easy to set up. I bought it from the UK. I have had a few problems but nothing major, I do about 2k to 3k per year. best regards paul

Dear Dave Welcome. I was commuting two to three times a week. Now I have converted my bike I can do five days without a struggle. I save ten minutes on each journey. Well worth changing to assist. regards paul

Dear TCN I cycle to work 13 miles each way, the last couple of miles are on the Stourbridge canal. Canals are OK but there are Dog walker - I virtually crawl past them - I think its important to build a relationship with the people you are likely to see each day. I even stop and chat to a few...

Do you consider that puddles and potholes are no go areas and other vehicles should accept your right to avoid them.

Dear Kirstin I fitted one a few months ago on my 26" Thorn. I have posted some photos on an earlier post. I have done over 800 miles with no problems. I am commuting 26 miles per day and have done detours to knock that up to 40 miles without running battery flat. I do not use the thumb...

My sensor (magnet disc), senses on the face of the rotor not the edge of the rotor. If you have it this way then it can "see" the magnet directly, without having the plastic outer edge interfering.

Dear Standra Converting a raven is no different to converting any other bike. Its not a big job, if things go wrong there is only so much you can do. If a part is faulty there is not to many options if you want to keep the warranty. On the Raven there are two main issues 1. the fork dropouts...

I converted my Raven Sports Tour, recently. I changed the forks for twin plate steel ones and fitted a 8Fun kit to the front wheel. The kit cost £430 and took a few hours to sort out. I like the Thorn so much and have customised it over the years. I did not want to get another bike so chose to...

I have a front hub motor, after the recent rain it is very muddy on the Wolverhampton canal. Very easy to lose control. I think I will have to take great care in the dark. I have Schalbe Marathon Plus tyre on the front. Do not want to change that, I like the puncture protection it gives me. Will...

Dear Laroche More info on your plans for the jigsaw please regards paul

Dear Cwah I have followed your thread from the start. How do you get the time to post all the pictures and tell us the story of your build. I have lost track of all the bits and pieces you have used. Maybe you should post a picture of the bike and all the other kit you have used. Well done for...
