Hiya all, Its been a while since I posted last - I did have a problem with the Li-ion battery supplied with my kit - but now it has been resolved - The kit supplier has now sent me 10ahr Li-ion 24v battery and its GREAT! Problem is, when I was without a good battery I bought a Windsor 24v...

Thanks for that advice on posting Flecc, I will try it next time. Meanwhile....... I made a bit of a goof in my earlier posting on this thread. The battery did not offer a 10 year guarantee - it was called a Power Guard 10 Year Life SLA battery (whatever tht means!) My mistake, sorry bout...

Ref the link to topic on endless sphere, Dont know how to make the link! But I have copied and pasted Knoxies reply - see below. Richard Hello Yes nice set-up you have there! shame you didn't contact me I could have sorted you out with something a little quicker! ha ha, well it...

Give me 10 minutes, I'll try and find it! Richard.

Hi, I was looking also at SLAs before deciding on NiMh. I found a local supplier in Wickford Essex and the receptionist even offered to drop them off at my house for free if I wanted as she passed my location on her way home! - Hows that for service! I mentioned this on the other forum...

Hi Grandad, I had to make connections for my Windsor Powabyke battery to use with my kit. I found that the pins from a standard caravan plug were exactly right for the Windsor - The neutral pin is exact fit, the positive pin is same thickness (perfect) but a bit too narrow making it...

I am absolutely amazed at how little I knew about the area where I have lived for over 20 years. Until 4 weeks ago I was a motorist only. Everywhere I went was by car. Every journey started the same way: Down to traffic lights - Up Main Road - Take Roundabout onto dual carriageway...

Sorry - please ignore my post above, I pasted it here not realising that Admin had already moved it here from the main section of the forum

Okay, I have cut & pasted this from the other thread as it seems to fit better here Quote: Originally Posted by flecc The biggest failing of the NiMh chargers supplied with many e-bikes is the lack of a discharge facility, this being essential for a long NiMh life. . Hi Flecc, As...

Sorry guys, I didnt realise that this part of the forum was open for posting - I have just posted a futher query/under the thread "Just plain NiMH battery packs", should I have put it on this section instead? Richard.

Hi Flecc, As I have only had the Windsor NiMh pack and charger for a week I would obviously like to keep the battery in its best condition. I understand what you are all saying about fully discharging the battery. I use the bike purely for leisure (retired). I often use it just for 4-5...

Tool Bags Hi Ian, I know these are not panniers, but perhaps something like these might do the trick. 18" Canvas tool bags at £4 each - It shouldnt be too hard to attach webbing straps or something between two of them and fit them like twin panniers over a bike frame - Dont suppose they...

Hiya, I've been following this thread and have just dug out my driving licence, the old style pink and green folded one. On the back, under licence categories it gives "Mopeds" as category P. I'm not too sure about wanting my ebike coming under or being associated with anything to do...

Whoops!, sorry I asked now. Perhaps this thread should be deleted before Powabyke puts its prices up ! Seriously though, I had only wondered about this as I had read (cant find it now:( ) a message from Andrewelectricbiker? where he had sent an old battery pack which I assumed was the...

I have searched the forum to see if this has been asked before, but I cant find it. Heres my query: Can you buy just plain NiMh battery packs in either shrink-wrap or plain non-specific battery cases? The reason I ask is that I have an ordinary MTB with a 24v hub kit. The Li-ion battery...
