    Sakura scooter thing

    Well, it certainly isn't the most precise thing in the world, it has led list rather than an analogue needle so jumps up every 5kph but on the straight road into town I can follow cars along at the same cruising speed if I choose to but then I'm not sure what speed they are doing but if I go...

    Sakura scooter thing

    Not sure how the speedo is attached, I've not bothered to look but I assume it connected to the wheel somehow, strictly speaking it's not road legal if it travels over the allowed speed I suppose but I chose to have it de-restricted so that's my call but I doubt it's a problem! The ones wi an...

    Sakura scooter thing

    I am getting 35kph +. The speedo only goes up to 35 and it is still accelerating after that, I'm keeping up with cars on the main road most of the time.

    Sakura scooter thing

    Haha I see you've had the same thought as me about the box, mine was quite sturdy, but just too small for anything. I had the guy in the shop deactivate the beeper as it got on my .... After a day! Don't know how he did it though so can't help there, the battery charges V quick it does a boost...

    Sakura scooter thing

    It's still going strong and as good as the day I bought it, I go to work and back everyday which measures as 9.6 miles round trip in the car. I do this for a couple of days and include detours to a shop and the occasional "nip to tesco" in the evening before I charge it. I haven't run it down...

    Sakura scooter thing

    Thanks for the advice guys, I dug out a 36V charger and gave it a go over night and it seems to have given it some life as the bike has now awoken! But i'll leave it to matey boy to actually test the ugly looking thing.

    Sakura scooter thing

    Lol, I know, but actually I have one which is not dis-similar in look but the quality of the build is a million times better that this thing. I don't think i'd feel safe on this one! I've been looking around and can't seem to find a 24V version of a SAKURA so i'm assuming it should be 36V, I...

    Sakura scooter thing

    I had a mate appear yesterday on a horrible looking Sakura scooter bike thing.... he has bought it 2nd hand from someone that said the battery is cream crackered and wanted to know if i knew anything about it, which i dont! I have investigated further and not been able to find a model number...

    Mountain bike

    Went an bought an Eco Sky yesterday, very happy with it. It could do with being a bit lighter, but for my uses and budget it is fine and it propels me along nicely with minimal effort. A friend of mine is talking about fitting lights onto it that run from the main battery,but, I don't really...

    Mountain bike

    Not sure what that is there for, I thought it was a throttle when I got on it but it doesn't move, I forgot to ask why it was there! I quite like the look of it tbh quite a modern looking style (or I'm old fashioned) and it didnt seem too heavy to me. I'm not stuck on this one though, it's just...
