    Hello!

    Hello Mate, FYI, this is a pedelecs forum whose participants, for the most part, ride assisted bikes conforming to e.u. and British law. You won't be aware that there have been three deaths , in the last few weeks, involving under aged boys riding high speed illegal motorbikes. So it's a bit of...

    Conversion kit to make an e bike.

    Top bike kit have all the gear you need, including KT controllers. You do have to put the list together yourself rather than a kit ready to go as supplied by Whoosh. They've had a few mentions on the forum though I've not yet used them myself. They also have an Aliexpress site as well as their...

    Cycle carrier

    Check that the hatch on your car is actually metal, some are composite/plastic and not suitable to hang a rack on.

    Tyre pressures

    Think I'm on my 3rd Marathon plus on my front hub. One was so worn the blue was showing through, didn't puncture though. I run them at around 55 and, as you say, the centre goes bald first.

    250Watt whats it really

    I thought I had some sort of handle on this, but now I'm thoroughly confused. Thanks Linfitter ! My Ezee kit, bought in 2014, has no markings on the front hub. No idea what the controller rating is as there's no markings on the outer case. It'll spin to 19mph on the stand and does not cut out...

    Help! Controller and display upgrade recommendations.

    Think we're going to need more info/pictures. What's the motor, what plug does it have? What battery capacity? What's it's maximum current? What is the existing controller? Great to hear someones cycling to school. However, given recent events I hope your lad is over 14 and the bike is within...

    Another solar trailer tall tale

    Once again, thankyou for the many stunning views. I had suggested the 500 in our roof top camper + bikes to my wife. But sadly she suffers horrendously from bites, so I don't think I'm going to get to see them for myself. Just one thing, as a Welsh resident, where's all the sheep?

    Smart Motion

    How old is the battery? Has it been used regularly? Has it been charged regularly? Doesn't matter how many miles it's done, how old it is is more improtant.

    Front hub motor cable position.

    Definitely pointing down to form a drip loop. Reason being, if the cable enters the axle from the top then water runs, unseen, into the axle and tracks along the cable into the motor itself. This then causes all sorts of rust problems. I know the shorter route looks tidier but it will bite you...

    Any suggestions on which carrier/rack for transporting your Ebike?

    I've never found a truly sturdy strap on and electrics are far too heavy to lift onto the roff, even with the battery removed.

    Another solar trailer tall tale

    I do like a good ferry, never seen one like that though. I remember, as a lad, taking the Servern ferry crossing on a return trip to Birmingham from Devon with my parents. I think my dad did it 'cos he knew I liked ferries. This one had a turntable built into the deck. The crossing was quite...

    Two boys die in "ebike" accident: Cardiff riot broke out after 'police prevented parents seeing fatal crash victims', close relative says

    So, let me get this straight. We all want to live peaceful lives. To that end we employ people to be 'Officers of the Peace'. Now what seems to be being said here is that such officers should not seek to apprehend people who are breaking the law (and hence the peace) in case said people injure...

    motor

    Please try to be clear so you can be helped. Saneagle asked you if it sounds rough when you give it power. There is a very definite reason for this question with a, normally, very simple solution. But you must be clearer in your description of what's happening and when. If you hold the wheel...

    Looking for an IZIP EZGO charger and adapter

    That's called a kettle plug, normally for 240v. More information is needed: What voltage is the battery? Where is the original charger? A photo of the ratings label will help.

    need bike mechanic for fitting ebike kit ( liverpool )

    If you want to sell your bike because brake pads and transmission need replacing, I'm not sure a kit/conversion is for you. With BBS motors there can be a lot of fettling needed to get the chain line right, requiring a lot of hands on. Conversion kits are a great way to get to know your machine...
