Noomad transforms bicycle into three-wheeled cargo bike I think this looks great - ok, not if you have a front wheel conversion but I have noticed quite a few posts about folk you want to take more luggage or want more stability due to health issues such as MS. This way you could keep much...

Afternoon all I lost a brass nipple on my spoke inside the tyre (8fun motor) The LBS retrieved it and were going to true the wheel for me. However, it seems other spoke is broken at the hub. So new spokes required and, being specialist gauge, the LBS dont have them. BMS battery seems my...

I’ve been running my 250w 8fun motor with Ku65 controller on 44.4 volts (36v bottle battery and 7.4v booster battery) for some time with no issues. I charge up my batteries, plugged them in and set off for my commute today. Totally gutless and no speed. Hmm. Only 1 bar on the 4 bar handlebar...

price unknown, battery capacity unknown, belt drive - sorta unknown (presumably a crannk drive with a belt rather than chain ?) Peugeot targets urban commuters with AE21 Hybrid electric bike beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that............but i thiunk these are seriously fugly...

One-armed bandit: Electrolyte integrates bicycle electrics in lefty fork I've never heard of anything like this before (although flecc and D8veh may well have!) Yes, crazy expensive and yes possible battery replacment issues (maybe not though) Still perhaps this would make a great...

Hi Having failed to find a 10.4ah bottle battery with Samsung cells in the uk (kudos were expecting some in July shipment but didn't turn up) I am def going lipo. I don't want to give up having battery in frame and intend to go 4 x 22.2v 5ah bricks. Hobbyking sells simple harnesses too Where...

Been using this one for a week or so item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=181161657311 Not the cheapest but it's in a hard case so can take more abuse than the PCB only versions It's also easily loud enough to hear whilst moving at full speed and wearing a helmet (snowboard one) . I've...

Sorry to put here - I don't have rights to post in technical :( I just got this charger through the post - on d8veh recommendation (and others ) to charge my booster packs. And ultimately my lipo packs which I will buy when my BMS -bypassed bottle battery eventually dies Ii have a couple of...

Bit of background - my dad is a lifelong senior service smoker. I want to get him onto ecigs. He is not keen but I get the impression he just feels and looks silly. So I made him this - its a vintage senior service tin with about 3800mah of batteries. Rechargable via micro USB and has a...

Hi all I am sitting in a&e after I got knocked off by a car turning left that did not indicate or see me (despite the yellow Fluro) Bike seems fine other than scratches but clearly i do t know for sure . His near side front tire ran over my ankle and stopped on my toes. I ha to shout to get...

ParaBoard I'm thinking of going lipo. These seem like a good idea to me ? anyone use or have any thoughts ? thanks Kirstin

Motor gone rather noisy (a 250w 8fun /bafang) Last night I swapped my 14a 8fun supplied controller for a 17a BMS KU65 At the same time I upgraded all connections from those cheap and nasty push-to-fit crimps to XTR lipo plugs. I did this on both my main battery (37v 9ah) and booster...

My booster battery (2s so 8.4v and 9ah) is being charged via a dirt cheap 2s lipo balance charger. And charges via the balance leads It take forever ! The charger says 3,700ma on rear. If I were to buy a 7.2 -8.4 RC lithium charger and charge via main /output leads will it charge much faster ...

Battery died on way home :( Showed 75% so I charged it up which seemed to work just fine. Then showed 100% on the LEDs I have tested the power lead, the battery terminal - both dead. Then took base off and tested fuses and the power leads before the enter the fuses. Fuses fine but no...

Hi all I'm going to try use a booster battery pack solution to get increased speed from my 8fun kit. There is so much info on ES that I got totally lost. I hope this thread can help others choose to do this (or not if it fails utterly). If it works then Its very cheap as I've spent £63inc...

Hi all I bought a ku65 controller and handlebar panel which, turns out i now don't need. I may wire it one day when I upgrade battery as it's 17a vs my current 14a My question is - it seems to be labeled as "high speed" controller? Still says 250w and 36v which is ht I have Would I go faster...

My unfitted PAS sensor consists of a plastic ring with magnets and a separate sensor itself with metal ring and leads to controller. Can this metal ring be cut and remain so and still work ? Ie if , when fitted, the ring is no longer completed but has a few mil gap does this stop the pas working ?

It's a Yamaha and seems to be a crank drive of sorts ? Thanks

Just wanted to relate my experience to anyone thinking of using them. In short I'm very impressed My kit is 10months old and the battery packed up without warning. Total failure, maybe fuse , don't know I emailed 8fun and they responded within 24hours asking me to return it. Within 48 hours...

A little help with my BMS shopping list I'm finally biting the bullet and spending the cash after months of attempting to avoid it. Mostly because my 36v battery packed up and I'm spending 8quid a day on my return train fare so suddenly became and easy sell to the wife ! Before I hit go...
