    Bafang 8FUN QSWXK motor leaking oil.

    Andre I don't think it is oil. It looks like aluminium rubbing together and what you see is the deposits being washed out. Does it make a noise? is there grit between the casing or is the cover loose?

    The real cost ?

    Pretty sure our first Ping lifepo4 battery is getting near 4 years old. Used nearly every day on my wife's bike. Value for money i reckon..........it refuses to die.

    [Thieves prevention] Spray the bike?

    That red oxide will be ok. You only need to spray a very light coating of black. It called a guide coat or a 'dust coat', (look for a smaller/cheaper can). It will darken the primer. With time, the muck/grime and the weather will discolour the 'new' paint so the bike looks old. Hot rodders call...

    [Thieves prevention] Spray the bike?

    We have Rat Rods, Rat VW's, Rat bikes, Now Rat Ebikes lol. Can't see it catching on tbh If you want your bike to look like that, eg Austin Allegro 5hit Brown (you are probably too young to know what they were) You need to spray some red oxide primer and then some patchy flat black, that will...

    Anderson PowerPole crimper

    What size power poles are you all using? I used 30A ones but found it difficult to assemble when using 12swg cable. I thought i had bought the wrong ones. The alternative was to use 14swg cable which i was trying to avoid.

    Project: ghEttoBIKE

    The Bafang hub is chinese as are most hubs. It's a good motor. I would also assume it's geared with a freewheel. Your initial problem is to rewire the stator, which shouldn't be difficult. The problem is getting hold of the correct wire with teflon insulation. You should be able to pull the...

    Disc or 'V', Which Is Best?

    Thanks for that flecc Ok so, not all the cable operated disc sets are bad. I'll have a look for Avid BB7. Any other recommdations? or one's i should avoid? BTW flecc i typed relace not replace hub motor. The hub already has the disc mount holes, although i will have to fabricate a mounting...

    Disc or 'V', Which Is Best?

    I like V brakes in the dry, but when it's wet and all the debris gets on the wheel you can hear the grinding that goes on with surface of the rim and the aluminium being shaved off. For that reason i am in the process of adding discs to my bike now. Unfortunately, a costly thing to do. I had...

    Ping battery BMS lights

    As you are probably aware the ping batteries are ok for maximum of 2.5C. I had a ping battery thats still giving good performance approaching nearly 4 years (wife's bike). I think the key thing is to keep the discharge levels well within 1.5C which is how we have treated that battery, so far so...

    Ping battery BMS lights

    I bought mine secondhand but very little use. It took a while to get all 16 leds on, i left it off overnight, went back the next day and tried again and the BMS had balanced the cells so only a 'topup' was required to make all the leds go on.. The charger will switch on and off if HVC is...

    Ping battery BMS lights

    Thats normal. Did the battery arrive with the BMS disconnected? if so, you need to connect the multipin connector. I would expect the battery cells to be perfectly balanced within a couple charges. I think mine reaches nearly 59volts before the leds start to illuminate.

    Brompton electrification

    If you want to seal the leads into a connector shell. Wrap some insulation tape around the connector and fill it with a 2part mix 'araldite' (i think that is what is used on the connectors in your photos), only make sure you have the leads soldered to your satisfaction because you won't be able...

    Thinking Of Not Fitting The Brake Switches ?

    Motors and batteries don't like being treated like that, It strains the workings of the motors which aren't very strong and battery current might rise beyond the batteries/controllers safe limits. Besides, you have a geared hub with a freewheel, for low speed i don't think you will be using the...

    All this knowledge.

    Jerry I have fixed some motors with broken rings. I initially bought a couple of Tongxins from a pedelecs member JohnP. He's very local to me. We both had initial problems some of the motors (not all broken rings) it was various different faults and he had a few returned ones. John already had...

    All this knowledge.

    I usually end up fixing ebikes or componants parts for others because i like doing so. It's another hobby for me and i like ebikes. I never charge people, but always get offered some reward for my time, cash or a bottle of plonk. I'll never get rich from it but i get satisfaction from making a...

    Turf Locks

    27 chargepoints so far. It's a slow process but they are slowly appearing. Shouldn't be much problem finding chargepoints around the Ilminster area Lynda :0) you have been busy. If you can all remember how this started. I was enquiring about a place to charge up my bike during a ride from my...

    CycleCharge Charge Point Service Options

    I must have visited about 40 establishments so far and not one has succesfully registered as a charge point even though they were showing great enthusiasm to begin with. The landlord in our local pub said he tried and failed to register. He doesn't know why nothing happened and to be honest i...
