@egroover -what do you think it means that the batteries are A Grade? Is that aomething other tban New?

For the fun of it I bought a 36v 10s 2p battery at a supposed 6800mAh which was clearly bo1*ox but I was curious and at £24 I knew it would be cr*p, but how cr*p? For a couple of runs I got 2700mAh which I was happy with as that gave me around 15 miles on ECO (I carried it my saddle bag as an...

Custom paint jobs cost many £100,s but do look very nice. Powder coating for a single colour is typically about £100 and are nearly as good looking to all, except the discerning.

@Brian55 - you haven't actually said much about how you are using the BBS01 (ET with Extra Torque) and in your avatar you are on a tandem. Is the motor fitted in a tandem and was your test ride with two riders? and what motor power assist level are you using? and flat or hilly terrain? Having...

@RHB123 - lots of good suggestions above so just to add my two-penny worth: > avoid the mini pump things - you'll spend ages pumping up the size tyres found on e-bikes. Those pumps are for the roadies who like to be minimalist and carry everything in their jersey pockets > Personaly I'd not...

Seeing as you've contacted Woosh Customer Services, I'd hold off on opening up the motor as this may void any warranty claim (unless of course Woosh suggest you do look inside). As an aside, I've fitted 4 of these motors to various bikes and not had any controller issues but there again I'm a...

If they are genuine Samsung and the battery pack is built soundly and the batteries used well within their spec, then I'll not have any concerns. Using a cheap Chinese one that does not have any sound provenance and with dubious specification (to say nothing of false/impossible capacity claims...

Hi Neal - can you put in links/descriptions to where you bought the above please?

It says they are new cells - to me it looks as though they are classed as reclaimed because they were, quote:

I'm following this thread with interest (as in still learning about things - every day's a school day isn't it?). Apologies if I've missed it @rgvkid, but are we talking about a hub motor here rather than a mid-drive? And what sort of battery is it - Hailong style, Bottle battery, Rack...

Well, I got a spot welder for Xmas and so I've been looking at 18650 prices and came across a UK site, (cellsuply.co.uk - link HERE) whose address is the same as nubattery.co.uk - link HERE Cellsupply sell reclaimed batteries which they say are new but with the caveats in the quote below. The...

Hmm well, that depends on how strong a person is and how long the tool is (as in leverage) - personally I'd go for what the TSDZ2 manual says e.g. 40nm - with a socket and long bar it is quite possible to overtighten and strip threads, and distort cranks/axles. Just do as the manual says - 40nm...

Have a read of this article from the batteryuniversity.com website HERE which suggests that you'll get far more full charge/discharge cycles from your battery the less you discharge it before re-charging again. Make of this what you will :cool:

Wheel size - I've had several bikes with 26" and 700c wheels - For the type of riding I do, the 26" invariably comes in a frame that makes the bike more suitable for gravel/rough tracks but not as fast as a 700c wheel/frame on smoother surfaces. The differences as such are as much down to the...

Good on you for looking at getting fitter/slimer - has to be done - any improvement in fitness and weight is going to bring it's benefits (ask me how I know :rolleyes: ). You've had a range of opinions (above) and invariably your budget will dictate your ultimate choice. If you know your way...

Thanks for posting that particular one - at £9 I bought one and it feels snug, warm and a cosy fit under my 'normal' cycle helmet. I always wear eye protection and this cover has holes in the side for poking glasses arms through.

33kg - Jeez, what is that made from - recycled gas pipe? On a more serious note, when someone says "I've got that bike etc and am pleased with it" you need to understand what their relative bike buying experience is. A newcomer to biking/E-biking who had just spent £2k on their first bike is of...

I've fitted TSDZ2 to bikes 5 times now and one of the bike's had a similar downtube design where the cables exit the frame - so a couple of problems I can see are: On the bike I did I had to cut away a bit of the frame (see pic below) to allow the TSDZ2 to fit in the BB Those two cables - I...

What about an older style used bike with more conventional cable routing? I recently acquired a hybrid bike with something like 200-300 miles usage - although around 8 years old it had been stored in a holiday home in portugal for all of its life - a real bargain at £150 Alternatively, an older...

Yes- I have a RAB down and feather jacket - one of the lighter weight ones, not the 'go into the artic' type, but I do only wear it when it's really cold (as in under 4degC). I cycle quite vigorously and don't sweat, but then again I don't sweat much ordinarily. As said, they aren't very wind...
