Have fun with these two. One (probably) Indian guy makes better ebikes than Harvard, NASA and the Chinese. Who's going to tell him about spring washers, wire size and chain tensioner? At least the first one only goes when you pedal, so must be legal.

I got one of these from Aliexpress because it looked right for what I need. It fits me perfectly. There's no sliding forwards or backwards and nice even pressure spread out over my backside, like it was custom made for me. It's made of soft rubbery stuff, so it compresses a bit to even out the...

This is apparently in Surrey. According to posts in the comments, the driver was jailed for 2 years. There's probably more about it in the comments. WARNING: DON'T WATCH IF GRUESOME THINGS UPSET YOU! https://x.com/cctvcorner/status/1838678278351044857

Somebody local asked me to fix there 6 year old Volt Kensington that hadn't been used for about 4 years. It had a knackered battery in which one cell had leaked and dragged that group down to 0v. Details of the fix will be in another thread. The surprise was that when I got it working, I found...

Found this on the Swytch Facebook group...

I started this thread again to give a recap and conclusion, since the last one got diluted by crap before I'd got half-way throgh, which makes it tedious for people, who are interested in the story and want to do similar. This is a series of improvement I made to a £245 Argos E-move folding...

I bought two KT controllers from Topbikekit at the same time and they arrived in the same box. One of them is the same as any other, but the other has weird throttle wiring, if that's what it is. Normally, the PAS, Throttle and speed 3-pin connectors are all in one bunch. This one is the same...

I've started with some improvements to make the bike a bit more useful for me. Its main problems are the too low gearing and the lack of torque. The weight is also a bit on the high side. Most of the weight is in the frame, so not much can be done about it. If you were serious, you could change...

Mine came today. They gave me a 2hr delivery slot yesterday, then I got a 15 minute warning, then a 5 minute one, then they delivered it on time. 10/10 for delivery, like the last one. There were copious amounts of bubble wrap all over it, which was a pain to untape and remove. Again, one of...

Here we go again, same old story. Somebody bought a bike and didn't use it for a very long time. When they got it out, it wouldn't switch on. I checked the battery. No voltage on the discharge connectors and 36v on the charge socket that wouldn't increase in voltage from charging. At this...

It arrived today. Yesterday, they gave a slot of 12:00 to 14:30 for delivery, then sent me a message at 12:00 today to say that it would be 60 minutes, which turned out to be very accurate. 10/10 for delivery The spec is: 36v 10ah battery 3 levels of assist plus zero 7-speed gears 250w motor...

Done by taking a screenshot of the stopped video on my laptop with a 2560 x 1600 screen. Innovv H5 helmet camera: SJCAM M20

OK, for those that think hub-motors don't climb, you can see how quickly I reeled in some guy on a crank-drive bike up a steep hill. That part of the path is very steep. Te rest of it up to the top, where you can see the kids playground is steep enough for an average guy to need an ebike to get...

I didn't actually notice this while riding. it was only by chance that I selected this clip out of about 20 to see how good the camera is. It all happens in the first couple of seconds so be quick. It took me manyy attempts at stopping the video at the right place to get the registration number...

I went out for an hour long ride yesterday to test the camera. It has a lot of good features. I'm still trying to sort out my YouTube channel to post sample footage, but, so far, I'm disappointed with the results. During the ride there was an incident that I didn't notice on the ride, but by...

I got some new spy glasses, so I wanted to try them out on my bike ride to the hospital today. I had tested them in my living room, but I wanted to see how they handled the bumping during a ride. As luck would have it, I experienced three really bad driving incidents, each of which might have...

As you might know, I've been ill for about a month with a virus. Yesterday, I went out for a short ride to see if I was able. It was OK, so I thought 'd try a longer one today in an attempt to try and rebuild my fitness. It didn't go well. I think the bad karma from taking the mick out of too...

I just got this beauty for £20: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225884482018 I've been using these armoured cable locks on my motorbikes and ebikes since the 1980s. They're brilliant, and I wouldn't use anything else. When it comes to the amount of security you need, you have to balance it against...

Who's going first? Don't forget that you only have 3 minutes from when you press...
