Not quite fully charged, have been out on it since the last charge.........

Well, have established that out of the five terminals on the battery, it is the two outside one's that give the voltage reading.......this is a 36 volt battery, so a reading of 40 volts, when fully charged, is I believe correct.......just got to figure out how to attach two wires to the...

Well, this has been a fascinating subject, but I might just do what I did with the Powacycle.......it will entail getting a handlebar mount 'phone holder, and a voltage tester, as I recall, on the Powacycle the voltage tester wasn't turned on all the time, just before, and then at various times...

Yes, that's it.....just one that gives a constant voltage read out.......

Well, it seems that there is a bit more to it, than just wiring a volt meter up to the battery........I think further research is called for........

Back in the day (about ten years ago) I got my first Ebike......a Powacycle Salisbury, which I thought was quite good, back then there was no handlebar mounted display, so I fitted this homemade voltage meter, which worked very well, and I always knew how much juice was left in the...

Thanks for that......Yes, I hear what you are saying, and will be keeping a close eye on the spokes.......

That's the two new spokes fitted, and the existing one's tightened up, just about to re-assemble the freewheel, and put the wheel back in the bike......first time I've done this, but couldn't be easier really......thoroughly enjoyed the entire operation !!...........

Maybe a little clearer, but not much......the splines go all the way down, also, as well as saying Freewheel on it, it says RunRace......or SunRace or something, hard to read, it may or may not be significant........

Well, I have established, from watching the video above, and also due to the fact that it has it stamped on it it, that I have a Freewheel, rather than a cassette..........also I have discovered that the bike was manufactured in 2018......now, which removal tool do I need ?.........

Thanks, will have a look.......

Thanks for that......not too sure how old this one is, I'm guessing there must be a number on it somewhere, that will give year of manufacture ?.......

Thanks for that......I shall remove the rear wheel tomorrow, and find out......this one has eight gears by the way...........

Well, that's the spokes just arrived, and they appear to be the correct size/gauge.....it seems that I will have to remove the cogs, or cassette I think it's called, so presumably will need a Shimano/ SRAM cassette unlocker ?........this seems a fairly easy task, but not something I have done...

Apparently Ryan is on holiday this week....so giving these guys a try.....Custom Cut Spokes.....very easy to deal with, fingers crossed I have ordered the right size spokes and nipples !!.........
