    Free OU course. Introduction to Electronics

    The course isn't anything to do with me. I just added it as I couldn't see much using the search button about learning the basics of the science behind ebikes. I did see a Udemy course I liked called: "crash course in electronics and PCB design" I would have done that but the software used to...

    Free OU course. Introduction to Electronics

    I've been trying to learn a little more as my knowledge on, say, what a mosfet is is zeroo_O. After grinding my way through some youtube vids I came across the free OU course on introducing electronics. It's free to sign up. It says by the end you should be able to: recognise a variety of...

    The tale of a £100 second hand electric bike.

    Nice story! Thanks for sharing. Interesting to note that a battery with such a long time lying dead can still be brought back to life - if you’re lucky.

    Thanks for the heads up Andy, it's fair enough to put that information in the mix. You have a great weekend too. Kevin.

    Converting my Ridgeback hybrid.

    Thanks for that. Especially the info on what parameters make it run efficiently - and therefore not straining the kit - I'll spend more time finding out about that. I'd looked at woosh and their good record with customer service. They have no kits in till the end of July. I'm not in a rush...

    Converting my Ridgeback hybrid.

    Thanks for the add. I'm looking to convert my Ridgeback. I've been without a car before and just cycled as needed and am in the process of getting rid of my van and going back to doing the same now. I'd like the luxury though of some electric help. The bike is not light and carries shopping and...
