Battery looks like it's outputting a good voltage, so I would suspect the battery contacts. The battery docking design is poor, and allows for a lot of vertical movement of the battery whilst riding. This causes the contacts of the battery to open up, creating electrical resistance at the point...

Believe you me David, we've had discussions on this subject many many times on this forum. The law is the law though. Some members abide by the EAPC rules to the letter, and some take the risk of riding machines that don't conform to the regs.

It's definitely not the worst I've seen. The Chinese websites are the funniest, and their product instruction leaflets are usually a scream. But we love you China, especially everyone who works at Bafang :)

+1, it looks like a superb little device. I might be being picky here, but I wish these overseas companies would invest a little bit of cash in translating their English language websites correctly. A few quid to a half decent proofreader, would transform these websites dramatically. Heck...

I'm not trying to make excuses for lack of communication, plus poor updating on websites, but I see it like this. You're correct in mentioning the 'start-up' nature of the e-bike conversion vendors to end users. This can mean skeleton staffing due to tight profit margins. Also, running a main...

Great tip. Switched to best performance, and the only box I needed to turn back on was the 'smooth edges of screen fonts', otherwise text looked a bit blocky.

You must have over sensitive virus software. Checked with Norton on PC and Kaspersky on tablet and nowt picked up. The photo link is on d8veh's Photobucket account, so should be ok.

Apologies if this has been posted before. Think it looks pretty neat in a stormtroopery kinda way. http://www.sena.com/product/smart-cycling-helmet/

Ali Express could be a bit of a lottery when buying a battery. An alternative could be to have it recelled by BGA Reworking, using top quality cells. Try dropping them a line to see if this fits in with your budget. They are UK based, and Jimmy is usually yer man for contact. Remember, if you...

Think I've found you the perfect bike, and yes it's electric :) Joking aside, welcome to the forum. You're in good hands here!

Mine is one of those little post office kiosks attached to a shop, so the shop assistants run both. Don't blame them for making things a little easier/less awkward for themselves.

I know what it's like when you set your heart on certain specifications, and come up empty handed. You really should test ride some of the other systems, like the Bosch, Yamaha etc.. You never know, you might like them ;)

Aha, the article I read melded my mind. That's much easier to understand, thanks for the link :) So basically, Samsung are a bit behind with their labeling.

In this Samsung 18650 30Q battery listing, the seller states the batteries are rewrapped to meet UK regulations. Torchy (Samsung 30Q) 3000mAh Flat Top 18650 3.7v Li-ion batteries + case I took a look at the mentioned regs, but my brain went fuzzy after the first paragraph. Can anyone explain...

If you haven't already, you could try posting your questions on Endless Sphere. Being primarily an American site, the members may be able to pinpoint suitable bikes in your local area to try.

If these are the bikes you're on about, then they are very ordinary indeed, and the components don't look very well integrated: http://www.en.tout-terrain.de/e-bikes/ Battery looks out of odds on all versions, and the wiring a little messy. Decent bikes run cabling through the frame. No front...

Had to bunny hop a cheeky little squirrel the other day. They seem to dart out from the undergrowth and sit there contemplating which way to go lol.

My local post office doesn't even ask what's in the parcel any more. They've even taken down those little posters that inform you about the shipping restrictions. If you're a person who doesn't post stuff regularly, then you wouldn't have a clue that shipping restrictions exist.

It'll probably take a good while to fully charge and balance, being 38Ah capacity. What charging output amps does it state on the charger?

Whilst on the subject of batteries. When a manufacturer quotes a maximum life cycle of a battery, is that usually to a point of failing to charge or discharge, or a certain point of degradation in performance?
