    Review of Argos £245 E-move folder

    She's a beauty. Thank you for the review! What is the biggest 36v battery of the same rear pannier style one can fit in there? If someone needs one for a longer commute it'd be good to know for us newbies.

    Review of £360 Argos E-Plus bike

    It looks great value, and it's a nice looking bike too. I can't wait to see what the £245 folder is like.

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Quick update: The bike is working normally as it should with the new battery Greenlance sent me. I'm happy to have my bike again. Happy days.

    Argos Cheap Ebike £360

    I didn't order one but I am really looking forward to reading everyone who got one's personal reports of the bikes; and future upgrades. I second whoever said that even out of the box it could be a great bike for errands and leaving it locked around town without too much of a worry.

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I'm back and calmed down. Greenlance got back to me (I messaged them that very day) within an hour and promised to send me a brand new battery as soon as they had more 36v 20ah in stock. They also supplied me a shipping label so I could send the faulty battery their way. The new battery...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    Talk about rotten luck. Need advice please. More trouble this morning. I was going to take the bike for another test drive just this morning, right away I noticed the bike wouldn't turn on. I tested the battery light indicators (the ones on the battery itself) and pressed the button, blank...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I had not the slightest idea about that. What is odd is that I'm always paranoid about switching the battery off at all times - when I'm not using the bike. And prior to say, I had only removed the battery 3 times at the most, basically the few occasions when I went to my local bank. At work...

    California Police's e-bikes have mid drive motors, not hubs, any ideas why?

    Yet another 'hub' vs 'mid-drive' discussion, I know but I just came across this and I found it surprising that they opted for mid drives. I've never paid attention whether or not police also have e-bikes in the UK, or any other country so this was news to me as well. Most city rental e-bikes...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I am back at last. I've been busy, and at one point even sick in bed for a week and a half these past few months. But all is well now. The bike is seemingly working again, after, I think of 2 months down time of me trying to troubleshoot what the issue was. I must state that both Yose Power...

    I will try that, the battery is in place like normal; what I noticed is that when I tried to slide it off the cradle, I couldn't do it. But it's always been a hassle to remove it, but I rarely ever do it since I don't need to where I typically park it. It's a safe, indoor area.

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    The one thing about the battery is that I couldn't remove it from the cradle yesterday when I read saneagle's post about the battery cradle possibly being an issue. Even when I first installed the battery removing it was a struggle, but yesterday I just couldn't get it off the thing. It's very...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I did not change the LCD. Yose sent me the controller only. Just now I went down to the garage, pressed the button and the bike/system turned on as normal, I lifted it and held on to the throttle for a good 3 minutes. It got to 37.2 km/h, the battery read 41.2v, no error code on the LCD...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    I cannot recollect ever doing that. My battery stays on the bike as I use it mostly for commuting and I never remove it when I park it there. And I'm always paranoid and double check I flip my battery switch to 'off' whenever I'm not using the bike. -- I was so hesitant about fitting the new...

    Confused and looking for 48v 250w rear hub since Yose won't sell me 250w 36v kit with 15ah battery

    News just in! Yose sent me a new controller. Just now there was a delivery guy knocking on my door which I found odd since I hadn't ordered anything. They sent me the thing without even saying anything other than that they were going to have their engineers simulate the fault I'd described...

    The one on the LCD display, the button you press and hold to turn the bike on. Looking back, I meant button and not switch. - I still haven't heard from Yose since they said they were going to simulate the issues with their engineers.
