They're what came with my motor, a bafeng 36v250w SWXK2 (or the older variant) fitted to a Brompton front wheel by the guy I brought it from. He did it about 10 years ago then sold it to me a few years ago. The conversion kit came with torque plates that go inside or outside the fork - I'm not...

Many thanks, greenbikekit had them, 3-7 day delivery to UK. All I have to do is wait now. I also ordered a few spares & a few other sizes of torque washer just in case, & a PAS - hope it fits on my Brompton.

Lost one of my torque washers up a mountain in Scotland - where to get spares? I was told it's a special Bafang torque washer. I've searched high and low on Google, Amazon, eBay etc and not been able to track one down. Pic attached below, or if you can't see it, a copy is here. Bit stressed as...

It looks like a torque arm would be better to stop it happening again. I bought one but it doesn't fit on at all. Anyone got any ideas what would be better?

I have a retrofitted Brompton with a Sparticle 250w front hub. (maybe actually 500w as it's pretty powerful) The front wheel made a bid for freedom while I was doing some rock-crawling so now it's repair time. I've broken one of the two shoe things that hold the torque washers onto the front...

Many thanks for all the pics and details, sorry I've been busy this week. I'm gonna fw to the bike shop and see what they say. Sorry to bother you - if possible could you give me a pic of the connectors on the unused wires on the controller? - I can see the wires in the pic that shows the bag...

Hi Jonah, I asked The Electric Transport Shop re buying a PAS, & they got back to me asking: - How old is your system? Does it have the integrated display and throttle, or are they separate units? - We'd need to know what plug type you'd need, there have been a few different ones over the...

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm definitely interested - Might I ask why you are selling it? I will contact Sparticle to see if they can sell me a PAS. Sending me the kit including the 14Ah Lipo by post might be a problem - I live in London, so am not sure how we can meet up. You're in...

Hi Jonah, Thanks for your post saying kit has been removed from bike. I have a few questions sorry. - Is there any chance of fitting a Pedal Assist sensor? - I read some older reviews of the Sparticle saying it doesn't suit short people because the kit does something with seat post to make...

Thanks, I'll post in that thread then.

Hi, my Brompton is pretty old, a 2003 M3R (short wheelbase, high rise bars, rack, 3-speed hub). I've removed the rack, converted to 2 speed derailleur, put slick tyres and some other nice parts on so it's pretty nippy now. Not sure about buying the Ourider kit for around £500. I'd rather...

Knee problems mean I can't ride as much as I want to, and traffic lights / hills / starting off is especially painful. I'm now looking to electrify my Brompton so please help me get back into the saddle. Let me know what you have please. Complete kits preferred (can buy a kit without battery...
