Was avoiding some glass on a cycle path today... went over wet mud instead. Front wheel went under me and the bike almost lay down. Luckily a handful of throttle managed to jerk it back upright, so although my pants may have a brown print I rode it off! Be careful on those wet and miserable...

Is this to be expected? The bike seems to run a little faster on throttle as opposed to pas on high setting. But when riding to work I would often "ghost pedal" as it's only a short way and let the motor do all the work. Now since installing a throttle I maybe go a couple mph faster this way but...

Where is the cheapest place to get a small rear thumb shifter for 6 speed? I have installed a twist throttle on my bike, with the revoshift gears I can still reach the brake lever but it's a bit of a stretch, want something compact that will bring my brakes back to a more comfortable position...

My 5yo daughter is growing fast and will outgrow the trailer very soon. So far I have seen the weehoo trailer which goes up to 9yrs but is quite pricey, and a few seats such as the bobike junior. Anyone carry older kids? Getting her on her own bike isn't really much use as we do some pretty long...

Anyone else tow a trailer? I take my 5yo everywhere in it, but on more eager assist modes range leaves a lot to be desired. If I am smart I can cover 40 miles in theory, on a 10ah battery. Is this reasonable? I find as expected the biggest killer is hills because of the extra load, on flatter...

When I got my bike a week in it sounded terrible. Found a couple loose spokes on the rear motor wheel, tightened them to match the rest and retrued and it went away. Now it's back so I did the same process but it still won't bugger off, I even lubed the nipples (hehe) and between the spokes a...

The PAS delay is bad on this controller, can this take a throttle? Couple pics of the controller and wires attached Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

You can get brushed 24v motors very cheap, but it looks like you need to somehow get a sprocket on the wrong side of the wheel somehow. So then I thought why not modify it to friction drive the tyre? Would be an interesting and cost effective project Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Bike has been in heavy rain the past week, and now when I turn the key the led display flickers before I turn it on. Should I let it dry out over weekend? Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

I have a falcon spark with mechanical disks, no matter how nice I have them set they feel super mushy. The stopping power is really good but it's hard to judge because I can't feel them bite properly, this results in the odd rear wheel lock. I suspect cable compression and lever flex. As I...

I cross threaded when trying to install a trailer hitch that I modified to fit, now it is completely stripped. I believe it is 12mm but standard nuts don't fit, finer thread pitch. Where can I find axle nuts in 12mm? Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

I find myself wanting to convert a mountain bike. It's a cheap bike and arguably not worth the investment, but it's a bike I've come to love. I think I've looked at all possible ways to make it cheaper but am a bit stuck tbh. Have even considered lead acid batteries for cheapness (these would be...

I have this bike http://www.very.co.uk/falcon-spark-comfort-mountain-electric-bike-175-inch-frame/1600156819.prd and am considering maybe removing the speed restriction on it. It's a youe 250w motor with assumably chinese controller, has no visible speed sensor as far as I can tell, and the...

Just joined, got my first e bike a falcon spark off very, really happy with it so far but might tinker in time so thought I'd join the forum Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk
