I'm ordering a Turnigy watt meter soon and have been poking around my Cyclamatic P.P. to see how i'm going to fit it. I'll have it mounted on the handlebars. Without going over this particular bike's layout (probably been done to death already) i've noted the following: Wiring from battery to...

Regarding a 24v controller with specs: Max 14A, Rated 7A When drawing a load from it, does the max rating mean that it will allow no more than 14 amps and will not go over this? Or that the controller is likely to be damaged run continuously over 14 amps but it will provide brief periods over...

There's a Sports HQ discount of 15% for anyone interested in buying a Cyclamatic. Enter VOTE15 on the checkout page, ends midnight tonight. And no i don't work for them :p

After somebody on another thread mentioned Conhis motor, i took a look at their website. Now i thought i had grasped the basics of battery power and motor power, but something has stumped me. They sell a 24v 200w motor and also a 48v 200w motor. Now i was under the impression that the motor...

I know it's naughty but sometimes i have to travel on a stretch of path or pedestrian walkway. Usually due to the road being too dangerous to travel on. Which side of the path should i be riding on and how should i pass other pedestrians and cyclists? It seems that nobody seems to follow any...

I would just like to confirm some facts before i get a bit too carried away and try something that might not work. At the moment my bike has: 24v motor 24v controller max output 14A Wuxing throttle and brake cutout levers 24v 9AH Li-ion battery Now the maximum amps that the controller...

I've noticed that there is a tiny bit of play in all the spokes of both wheels of my 26" 1.75's. Only 1mm deflection at most. Is this normal? Also how do i go about checking and tightning spoke tension? I should imagine every one needs to be tightened in one session or it'll pull the rim out...

I took a peek at the controller contained within a box under the crank. The box is welded as part of the frame and contains all the wiring too. I didn't expect it to be branded or anything special and i was right. It does have a label on it with some specs and a serial number. If anyone can...

Do electric bike motor controllers all use a standard set of connecting plugs between different makes?

Has anyone bought a Ping battery directly from his website? They are also available from him via eBay but are a little more expensive. Probably to offset eBay fees. Both ways of buying these batteries are payable with PayPal. I just wondered if going through eBay offered any extra buyer...

:) Deleted post as i didn't explain the question properly

Please excuse me if this sounds like a Harry and Lloyd question. When people talk about depth of discharge for example 80%, does that mean 80% of power used or 80% remaining in the battery?

There was a break in the clouds today, so i thought i'd go for a quick spin up to Penshaw monument in Sunderland. Part of the journey is dual carriageway, so i rode on the path alongside for safety. On the way back, i saw a group of 15 or so young lads on various bikes, heading my way. The...

Could someone please confirm or correct me on a couple of points, reference the motor controller. 1) With a 24v battery, 24v motor and 20 amp motor controller, would that mean that the motor receives 480 watts of power maximum? 2) The voltage of a li-ion battery starts off at just over 29v when...

I always try to use a drop kerb but this isn't always an option. Am i risking buckling a wheel by riding up and down a right angle kerb, or are modern wheels pretty tough?

If anyone gets a wiff of Roger Water's tour dates of The Wall, 2010/11, then please PM me straight away :)

*** If this has been covered loads of times in other threads, please delete *** I fitted my new Marathon Plus tyres today on a Cyclamatic Power Plus. Not all plain sailing, but i thought i would share my experience to help others who may be thinking of doing this. I did the front tyre first...

For anyone with a Makro card, they've got the Salisbury on offer at £528.74 inc. VAT. Not sure if there are different versions of the Salisbury, but looks the same as the one on Powacycles website.

Firstly i must thank all of you who steered me away from buying polyurethane solid tyres ;) I went for the tyre of choice, the Schwalbe Marathon Plus for both front and rear. Got 2 for £39.99 with free post off eBay, which i thought was good value. £29.99 each in Halfords :eek: What...

I was dreading my first puncture and today my nightmare came true. At first i thought that it might present a problem being on the rear hub motor wheel. Luckily it was easy enough to gain access to all of the inner tube without removing the wheel. It was still attached to the centre hub (if you...
