    Speed not registering

    If it's got a speed sensor and magnet on one of the wheels, check the magnet and sensor are clean and that the magnet is in close proximity to the sensor.

    KTM Macina Cross 9 - For sale

    Whoopsie, spank us both :D No probs, I was only going on what I would be thinking if I were looking to buy a used electric bike. Personally, reserves put me off, and I'll move on to the next one. I hope you get what you want for it :)

    KTM Macina Cross 9 - For sale

    Nice bike. Thing is, no matter how well you look after the battery, they still lose performance and capacity over time. Being two years old, potential buyers will know that it could well be half way through it's useful life, and may be put off from bidding at that high reserve. Wouldn't hurt to...

    Does it charge whist pedaling

    No, I think they meant off a cliff ;)

    The Jurban. Could this be the new way to travel electric?

    I doubt it, but interesting design and concept. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-JURBAN-Electric-Scooter-Big-Fat-Wheels-w-bluetooth-speaker-/332011998812?hash=item4d4d750e5c:g:9DwAAOSwYIxYBfXx and yes, the negative features far outweigh the positive :D

    BBS02 Top Speed

    As others have mentioned, depending on software, chainring and final cog ratio, 45 mph is achievable. BBSxx's are happiest when the motor is spinning fast, so don't be surprised if it goes bang, running at these speeds.

    Bafang BBS01 mechanical error (creaking when pedalling)

    +1 on the crank arms. They need to be torqued. IIRC, I torque wrenched mine to 40Nm and haven't looked back since. Also, If the final drive is lacking grease, then that can create metallic noises when pedaling.

    Stolen HAIBIKE sduro

    Unfortunately, another example of the low life creatures who inhabit our planet, praying on folk who work for a living. The Pedelec's folk will no doubt be on the look out for your bike via eBay, Gumtree and the like. Is the bike insured?

    Re generative charging

    Sorry if my post sounds negative, but it reminds me of my neighbour the other day, asking if my bike recharges as I pedal. IMHO, what electricity you can put back into a battery with regen is negligible, puts unnecessary strain on your drop-outs, and can make the riding of the bike feel...

    Luv the colour combo on these folding electric bikes

    Also noticed they've done a good job of concealing the battery pack. Plus it's got disc brakes, lights and mudguards too. Shame it's an unknown brand with questionable quality, coz that thing's got all the elements of a good shopper/commuter.

    Luv the colour combo on these folding electric bikes

    Lol, a classic case of form over function. Only wish Schwalbe Marathons came in these colours.

    Could the Galaxy note 7 fiasco, spark a price rise in Samsung's 18650 cells?

    Firstly, ouch :eek: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/oct/14/samsung-galaxy-note-7-smartphone-profits-warning Secondly, could this have an effect of the cost of their 18650 cells, used widely in our battery packs?

    Sena Smart Cycling Helmet

    To be perfectly honest, I doubt it.

    The new best folding bike

    Is it just me, or do you need to have the limbs of an orangutan to ride it? The seat looks awfully far away from the handlebars.
