Thanks again. I cancelled that aliexpress order as it wasn't posted yet. Replacing battery after 2 years wouldn't be bad, to be honest I never assumed they will last that log anyway as I fully charge it and discharge within couple of hours of my part time courier work, every other day. So I...

Thanks for your reply Nealh. I don't know much about batteries itself and assumed that if 5-8-10 amp chargers exist it's fine to use them, and small 2.5 amp ones are shipped together with batteries just bacause they are cheap. Its bit odd that my phone charger output is 4.5 amp and massive...

Hi guys. I've got 2x 17.5 amp/h batteries 48v, and it takes a long time to charge it using standard 2amp charger therefore o got myself fast charger off aliexpress 48v (54.6v max) 10 amp. So in theory should be 5 times quicker fully charging my bike in less than 2h. Is this safe? My wife is...

All sorted, big Thank You to guys at Woosh Bikes. Cable was replaced, got my first build together finished just an hour ago. Test drive checked, no errors all good :)

Hi Guys... A time has come when i think I'm ready to put my Halfrauds Carrera Subway - E to garage and upgrade to something better, build for my needs. It was cool bike, but cant get around those thick tyres, and 15 mph assist limit. So I'm bringing my road bike back to live, going to sand it...

Thanks guys. Didn't expect so many replies so quick. As I'm not feeling comfortable changing battery mount not to even mention controller, and this is new generation of batteries as cyclebuddy says looks like I have no other option than stick with getting halfrauds 500quid battery.

Hi all, sorry for newbie questions but I'm brand new to ebike world. Just bought Halfords Carrera Subway E, and I'm not 100% happy with range. I'm squeezing 30 miles out of it when on steady setting (2nd assist level) and if I go to high it drops down to 20 miles only (halfords wepage claims 60...
