    Alternative Display and Controller for NCM (DAS-KIT)

    I have also just got a bike with the L6 display, could you please advise me of your method of improving the function.

    Nasty pothole

    You could try and lure the badgers away with Jammy Dodgers (experimentally proven when investigating a noise in the tent awning in the middle of the night - the badger was unperturbed by the human presence and kept on noshing!)

    Nasty pothole

    The best guidance I have found to making claims regarding pothole damage is on the Money Saving Expert site at: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/pothole-claims/ Crucially it includes advice on what to do if the initial claim is rejected.

    Fiido X frame breakage

    Link to story just posted on Electrek: https://electrek.co/2022/04/07/fiido-x-electric-bikes-frame-can-apparently-break-in-half-company-issues-recall/ , hope that nobody has been injured by this. Unfortunately some still for sale on E-bay. Looks like Fiido have done the right thing with a recall.

    Conversion for a Dahon Glide (24" wheel, narrowhub).

    Thanks for the replies, a question for Woosh; your Brompton kit has the Q70 motor running at 328 rpm, what would happen if the 201 rpm Q70 motor was used instead. From your explanation, using the Q70 201 rpm motor, would I keep the speed but loose some of the torque and hence get less hill...

    Conversion for a Dahon Glide (24" wheel, narrowhub).

    As a recent buyer of a very good condition Dahon Glide, I wonder why the use of the alternative 201 rpm Q70 motor in a 24 inch wheel was not considered further, as it would be a relatively simple change to the Woosh Brompton Q70 kit, with just a different wheel and the controller set up for a 24...

    GPS Tracker for £2 a month

    As an alternative to a GPS tracker, a Tile device provides a non-subscription location approach, albeit dependent upon being in Bluetooth range of a member of the Tile community.

    Optimum wheel diameter for e-bikes

    Sorry, just realised that my last statement was rubbish, the cadence would only apply to a crank geared bike.

    Optimum wheel diameter for e-bikes

    Thank you for the detailed replies. I can also see that I have been making a fundamental error in my riding technique going uphill, where I have been tending to keep in a higher gear for too long and letting the cadence get too low, hence running the motor at low efficiency. From now on I will...

    Optimum wheel diameter for e-bikes

    As an owner of a not too old Benelli Classica 26 inch wheel front hub drive bike, I was surprised how responsive a 20 inch rear hub drive folding bike felt in comparison, especially going up hill. The folder wasn't that much lighter either and both bikes have cadence sensors only. I have heard...
