So my 48v 15amp controller is in a little bag behind the saddle. I have already drilled some holes in the bag for ventilation purposes because I guessed it might get very hot. Anyway, today in my jaunts round the tiny back roads in the North York Moors, after lots of 10% , 15%, 20% and even 25%...

So I'm on the edge of the North York Moors, and I had a little ride into the moors this morning and was just struck how much fun it is on an e-bike. Cycling up one of the long hills , I caught up with a Lycra clad road cyclist and it just looked like really hard work, whereas I could do this in...

I occasionally see bargains for sale and I wonder if they would suit othere pedelecers I was going to post them here, feel free to join in

Saw this on a Facebook marketplace advert, looked tidy for £90 , possibly just needs replacement battery ? Unfortunately rim brakes https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1502809347156732/?ref=facebook_story_share

This popped up in my feed, seemed alright for the money although manual disc brakes and not UK legal https://www.gunai-ebikes.com/products/gn29 Someone did a review here

On my conversions I have a + and - button to adjust the pas levels. Is there any invention where the assist power is on a "slider" or twist slider so , for example , I can just twist or slide one way for max assist, the other for min assist and in between, the more I slide/ twist the more power...

So I understand that controllers can have speed based PAS levels or power based PAS levels. For the speed based PAS levels are these controllers just applying maximum power at PAS level 1 until you hit the PAS level 1 max assist speed ? I wondered if it was done on Voltage - so PAS level one...

My niece (who is medical student) has asked to "borrow" my Claud Butler step through which I converted (which sounds like a good way of getting around campus !) I will have to give her strict instructions on battery care !! So I could do with a "road bike" as well as my Boardman 29er BBS02B...

Hi all, For my next project I was going to do another rear hub conversion of a Whyte Calendonian hybrid. I have already a mid drive 48v BBS02B conversion of my Boardman 29er. I wanted to be able to swap the Hailong 48v 20ah battery (Samsung cells) between these two e-bikes depending on which...

Hi all So I wanted a "tootling about" pedelec to go with my BBS02B boardman conversion and I thought I would try doing this one myself (bit of a novice bike mechanic!). Not going to use it for commuting or in heavy traffic, just day trips on pretty deserted single track roads and maybe cycling...

I was curious about the 705 assistance levels. How do they work? is it a percentage of full power or a maximum speed within a level or both ? (Jan had hers on level 5 yesterday and it was flying along, I think she prefers it in level 3 and then adding throttle where needed.)

So, becoming a bit of a pedelec missionary after converting my Boardman 29er mtb, my wife getting a second hand Wisper 705 and sorting out my sister's 10 year old KTM Macina Cross so she can ride it again (Thanks @soundwave - got the NX branded battery from allbatteries.co.uk) Next project is...

My sister has a 10 year old KTM macina that I thought I would get going again for her. I've changed the inner tubes and sorted the brakes but the battery is knackered. It's one of these https://www.bike-discount.de/en/bosch-powerpack-400-frame-battery-white-classic but they won't ship to the...

Hi all, My wife bought a 3 1/2 year old wisper 705 with the 575 battery. We tried it out and it was great for a few miles and then the display cut out and the assist stopped working. We put the battery on charge and the same thing happened again after about a mile. The battery went just onto...

Hi all, I posted this question elsewhere but I thought I might get a more technical answer here, hope that is ok My 73 year old mother in law has always been a keen cyclist. She cycled miles (sometimes 50-60 miles) on an old, step through, very traditional and very heavy bike. Over the last...

Hi all, My 73 year old mother in law has always been a keen cyclist. She cycled miles (sometimes 50-60 miles) on an old, step through, very traditional and very heavy bike. Over the last couple of years she's done a lot less cycling because of her knees. I suggested a modern lightweight...
