Yeah - too funny huh - I just sent them the following questions - interesting if I get anything back: "Hi there. Interesting bike. I would like to know a bit more about the performance though - could you please tell me what is the top speed? And what capacity is the battery? And what is...

Somebody has to be taking the Michael.

What the heck eh?

Thanks for those replies - it all fitted together fine - and worked. Somebody should get those guys to standardise the colours of the wires though - but I guess that makes it all the more interesting. And any excuse to get my soldering iron out. :-)

Having a week off work I am experimenting with my bike........ as in I am experimenting with putting a different controller into it........ need a bit of help if possible: On my current bike (Oxygen emate) the three wires coming off the PAS (pedal sensor) are red, black and yellow - whereas...

Good for you - that sounds really sweet. My journey to ending up with an electric bike was a near-fatal alcohol related crash that got me a long ban - nobody else involved I might quickly point out - just me and a very fast car and a country road and an X-mas eve drinking session with a...

Didnt change the chain length - in the end I am running an 11-28T rear cog and a 45 front chainwheel - which pretty much gives me everything - ie decent cadence for cruising and the chain does not come off much if at all. I cycled up to Mums earlier today - Axminster station to her place 5...

I agree. Sideburns should be banned.

The main thing I would say is a quality D-lock and make sure you use it around the frame and whatever grounded metal you're locking it to. You were asking for trouble expecting an extension cable to do that job - they're only ever any good if you already have a D-lock in use. I guess we live...

Excellent news!

Once you've opened up the controller and unplugged the three inner wires that have a connector and then cut the other 5 inner wires (ie all 8 inner wires are now free) - the back wheel will now come out - ie you can now treat it like any other back wheel - except that you have a long wire coming...

It all depends on what you like! If you're OK with the battery on a rack at the back then that opens up a whole lot of other bikes you might like. As many people here say - go try a variety and see which ones you take a liking to. You'll never really know until you ride them and see them up...

No - those won't work - it has to be a freewheel - they are completely different even though they looks similar.

You have to open up the control box - you'll find the wire from the motor (which you have to disconnect) has 8 inner wires. Three of these inner wires come with connectors so those are easy you just pull them apart - the other 5 have soldered connections so I cut them after labelling the colour...

This is where you can get an 11-32T freewheel from within the UK. Or go to USA ebay where I got mine here. - or if they're out it looks like they have them here too

Right - the 11-28T rearset is on - I put the original 42T back on the front and..... it works brilliantly! No need for a new chain or new deraillier just a new 7 speed changer - I got a local shop to fit the rear freewheel cog-set (he made a fuss saying he needed to make a tool but in the end...

There you go! Sometimes you just have to study the thing and then it becomes obvious how it all works - but this does mean you have to look real carefully. Good for you. I'm having my 11t-28T 7 speed rear-set fitted as we speak - will it all work? We shall see.

Packing less - and playing safe. (wink)

Its got nothing to do with a 'decent derailleur' - and everything to do with the geometry. If the geometry is 'out' then you're in trouble - decent derailleur or not.

I am going with a 46T and the 11T at the rear - this will - by my maths - give me the right cadence for the speeds I was thinking of.
