Drain Brain sourcing

[andrewelectricbike1]

Does anyone know of a good value supplier of these things?
I am looking for the one with the shunt.
Anyone using these in the UK?

An interesting bit of kit!!! could be very useful for optimising range.

Only found it in the States, but a word of warning, do not fill in any inquiry on the EV Tech site (108$ plus 102$ postage!!!), the spam started arrving BEFORE I had finished the inquiry!!! saying they had been given my name by another customer!! sent the warmest of replies!!

Had a very apologetic email from the States.

Strange Yank Electric bikes here!!

This is where I was looking at the brain drain that I assume you are searching for. They say that the postage on the site is incorrect and should only be about 15$

HTH

I'd previously done an in depth hunt for a UK supplier, but like Chris, ended up with only the US option, mainly with EV tech.

There probably wouldn't be a big enough market here to justify setting up import for this expensive luxury item.

You can order them direct from Justin:
The DrainBrain - Ebike Amphour Meter

The other possibility is the Power Analyser:
Medusa Research

Sad isn't it, this is copied from one of the above sites:

"measures five different parameters real-time including voltage, current, power, amp-hours, and watt-hours".

I bought the Prodigit 13 amp plug-in power and energy monitor that does the same, plus a bit, on UK mains for under a tenner!

I look at those dollar prices and shudder.

P.S. Even the one I mentioned is way up in price now, £26.99 from Maplin.

Yikes, I don`t want to ride to work with a meter cable-tied onto the bars

The alternative was an astroflight (I didn`t want to run the heavy duties up to the bars). So the only (waterproof) meter I think suits me is the Drain Brain at the moment. Have emailed Justin for a price inc postage.
