    New Cytronex Owner

    No need for apologies as I had already answered that question. Did you speak to Cytronex about a repair? You may find that it is cheaper to do that than buying and getting a new motor built into a wheel. If it turns out to be the wiring or controller you will have wasted your time/money. As...

    New Cytronex Owner

    The usual drive breakage happens on rough terrain - never ride with power over cobbles for example. If you can hear the motor spinning fast but no drive that is the drive broken. If it sounds noisy more likely to be controller or wiring (wiring and connectors are absolutely the best in the...

    New Cytronex Owner

    It is most likely that the ring that holds in the rollers had cracked. The motor should be fine and it just needs a repair. It is not uncommon and one of Marks team could fix it. Not sure what motors Cytronex are using but if there was a better one for the money then they would have started...

    Two-lane roads and junctions with left turns - how to stay safe?

    I am talking about your original situation where the left lane is also straight on. The left hook is a fairly common complaint from cyclists and the higher the speeds the more difficult the situation is. You have to give the other drivers an idea of your intentions either by indicating or road...

    Two-lane roads and junctions with left turns - how to stay safe?

    Life as a cyclist is full of such dilemmas I am afraid. Sometimes there is no right answer as it is all dependant on the personality, level of knowledge and aggression of the drivers around you (being in the wrong place at the wrong time). However in this situation I would say stick to a...

    For sale BH Emotion Sport Max + with 25Ah battery

    I am selling my Emotion Sport Max as I have purchased a Blue Label Nuvinci Charger. It is in good working order and comes with a 25Ah battery (less than a year old) and fast charger which charges on the bike. It also comes with the standard charger. I haven't done many miles over the last year...

    Changes Afoot

    That is good to know. I have purchased a Blue Label Charger nuvinci belt drive. Not light weight but very well built and comfortable. Nuvinci works very well with the extra power of the motor/leg combo and the aim is to minimise maintenance with the belt drive. The only thing I am unsure of is...

    Changes Afoot

    Oddly enough I am test riding a Blue Label bike tomorrow and find today that it has disappeared from the freego catalog and the brand has been taken over by David and Wisper. I have dropped him a line to see what is going on...

    E-Bike Vision batteries

    My battery is 4 years old and is pretty tired. It lost bar quite early on and then another bar a few weeks ago so down to 6ah. It used to feel sprightly, at least initially after a charge but lately felt very flat all the time. Now the new battery enables the bike to storm up one hill at 16mph...

    E-Bike Vision batteries

    Thanks James. I see what you mean about getting it on the bike as it is a right faff to line it up. In a moment of weakness I have ordered a plug in charger. £50 from eBay so not too bad and it is 5a rather than 6a so a little slower charging rate. Bike is transformed now. The battery must have...

    E-Bike Vision batteries

    The battery has been delivered so I will give it the full charge/ discharge as recommended by flecc and see what the range is. Very good and quick service from bikediscount.de and the 25 ah battery was 25% off list price.

    I am sure it is not intended but your post sounds really bad tempered. Nobody is asking you to look through 19 pages if you don't want to :)

    E-Bike Vision batteries

    Yes that a good point - it is so big I could probably do the 20% -80% charging routine and it would last many, many years.
