    Simon Cowell ebike accident

    I thought the same, I was surprised the press hadn’t noticed. I do hope he stops having ebike accidents, otherwise someone might decide to spoil the fun of responsible ebike users.

    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    This is a really informative thread and a great forum, it's nice to see people helping each other. I'm nowhere near ready to try OSF on my TSDZ2 (I haven't even mounted it to the bike yet :)) but I wondered if the STLINK adaptor can be plugged into the lighting part of my Y cable, whilst...

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    Good point, I was only looking at peak discharge current... I'll need to check the graphs. Do you have an opinion about welders? I can see £40 occasional use might work ones, and £250 probably reliable ones, but not much in the middle.

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    I'm very much a DIY type of person and like to 'think outside the box'. I agree that the cells are the most important factor, so I've been thinking of building my own packs.

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    Thanks, as I’m converting 3 or 4 bikes I’d like to have the same battery fitting for all of them, and possibly a choice of capacities. But light weight and cost are more important to me than range.

    Standard bottle battery ?

    Thanks, I followed your link and get $165.68 plus $10.53 shipping plus $35.25 VAT, same for Germany, Czech Republic or China shipping. So $211.46 = £155.20 paying by credit card. It’s not the end of the world, but I’d be interested to know why.

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    I'm just starting to convert our family bikes to e-bikes, and would like to use a battery format that's good value for money and will be around for a few years. What do you think are the most universal batteries I should be looking at? I'm interested in lightweight 36V packs, around 8-13Ah. Are...
