My new Insat battery comes with a generic instruction sheet that warns of the detrimental effect of over charging. It says that the charger should be turned off as soon as the led goes green. I thought that the led went green when the battery voltage equated with the charger voltage, if so how...

The plan is to convert my old hybrid for when my daughter comes to stay ( and anyone else who fancies a ride out with us). Although she's only 29 and a professional dancer, poor thing can't keep up with her old mom and dad. Cruel really tee hee:D So need to keep it simple and easy to ride for...

I know this subject has been covered many times, but I can't find them. Last night I went out pre sunset knowing I'd return after dark. My Crivit/Lidl rechargeable lamp let me down, going intermittant. So I'm after one of those cree lamps that I can connect into the bikes 36v system. I ride...

For some time now my front hub has been, intermittantly, making a rhythmic rubbing noise. Not all the time, often after a long climb, and it was getting worse. No loss of power, just noisy. Some time ago Cyclezee suggested stripping the gearbox out and repacking it with grease. Finally I got...

I've done about 2500 miles with my conversion now, it's hauled me up and around the hills of west Wales and made me laugh going up stupidly steep stuff I wouldn't walk up. So far so great. However, just lately, there's been an intermittent rubbing or catching sound from the front wheel. Bike...

So, I've had the local blacksmith make me a pair of de-mountable 'roof bars' for my 6'x4' camping trailer. The cross bars are 1" square tube. I need to find a pair of cycle racks that will mount onto the bars and will carry my pedelecs (approx 25Kg each). One is a Big Bear step through the...

I have an Ezee front drive fitted to my 700c Carrera. My wife has a Woosh Big Bear LS that has 26 inch wheels. We both love our bikes, but here's the rub. When we are both in power setting 2, my bike quickly leaves the Bear behind without any effort from me. i.e. I'm just rotating the pedals...

Whilst out riding yesterday, I curiously pushed the total odo button on my Lidl computer, to see that I'd clocked up over a thousand miles since last November.:p Considering that, pre-EAPC, I was doing about 150-200 a year and I don't commute, that is amazing. I have an Ezee front hub in a 700c...

This is the, "Gathering the bits" phase before transferring my Ezee kit to the new bike. The first question is about torque brackets. Current bike has the Ezee bracket on it (see photo), but I can't see how to make that work with the new forks. Anyone got any suggestion? I wondered if it might...

So, it looks like it's a no go to put suspension forks on my hybrid. So I'm looking for a donor bike to put my Ezee kit onto. Has anyone used one of these? http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Marin-San-Rafael-DS1-2014-Hybrid-Sports-Bike_76192.htm OR can you suggest something. My kit is front hub, rear...

I Converted my hybrid last November and have just returned from hols in Cornwall where the wife's Big Bear and my Ezee performed faultlessly. However, a lot of the roads were in even worst nick than those around here (West Wales) and my wrists and neck started to suffer. Most the time you can...

Some friends of mine have been offered a pair of the above bikes. They are 2009, hardly used but unsure of battery storage regime. Look in very good condition. From a test ride they are saying that they seem to be underpowered compared to a test of a new Giant stepthrough. What can be...

This bike for sale c/w panniers. 8Ah battery and charger, total of 406km on the clock. 18 inch frame with suspension seat post and front forks. This is a torque sense drive, no throttle. Vee brakes and 7 speed Shimano hub gears with nexus twist change. It's a nice clean bike in full working...

So, the Esprit wasn't really handling the Welsh hills well and we decided on a Woosh Big Bear LS as a substitute. Having spoken to Hatti about measurements we ordered ( without trying one) this week as they have a 6% price rise at the end of the month. So a heart in mouth moment as we unpacked...

I've been reading the thread on towing bracket carriers. But I need my hitch for my trailer when camping. Does anyone know of a trailer mounted carrier for two e-bikes? Internet searches have only produced items from S.Africa or Australia, or specialist trailers. I have thought of fabricating...

Can you help my wife keep up? Having been out for our first joint ride since I installed my cyclezee kit, the power difference between that and my wife's Giant Twist Esprit, is almost painful. Once again I am waiting for her, which is why we bought her a pedelec in the first place. Does anyone...

I'm a 61 year old leisure cyclist living in West Wales and having ridden my wife's Giant Twist, I now want a pedelec myself. This is the bike I'm using at the moment and I like its geometry. But is it a candidate for a conversion kit? It has no suspension, is that a problem? I want as much...

My wife has a Giant Twist Esprit. Does anyone know if it's possible reprogram the controller to increase the maximum speed on this model?
