    Schwalbe valve dust cover magnet

    Has anyone tried the above product with a speed sensor? I think that it is the height of great design, no crumby magnet screwed to your spoke waiting to fall off!

    Number Two

    This is the thread for the conception/construction of my second pedelec build "Number Two". Why a second bike when you have one that works? My current bike frame is too small. It is also a 26" wheel which doesn't fit my use - on roads only and my riding style. The bike hosting a GSM mid drive...

    In love again...

    Excuse me while I run out and buy a lotto ticket! I wouldn't mind going back to a car for those longer distances but it would have to be this one now that I have seen it. Now about that 150 mile / 240 km range, was that calculated by Bosch?:rolleyes:

    HobbyKing XT90 plugs

    Are the HobbyKing XT90 plugs a good choice for replacing Anderson plugs as a battery connection? I want a standard plug at the controller into which I can plug my two battery leads. As I will be ordering from HK I thought I might as well buy there and these are the plugs on my battery packs and...

    Lights output from 09 bottle battery controller

    Today's question: Does the 09 bottle battery controller have a connection for lights, 36 V or 6 V I don't mind either? I.e. one that would turn the lights on from the LCD-3 button press.

    Gear ratios Nexus Inter 8 hub

    For my next build I am looking at gear options and thought I might put a Nexus Inter 8 behind the GSM kit. The bike is a 28" wheel I think I will be running 50-622 Big Bens on them. As the bike has vertical drop-outs I will be using the Alfine chain tensioner. As I have lots of long up-hills...

    I think some of you need to take your bikes to the House of Lords

    You could stage a mini protest in response to Lord Lawson http://www.bike-eu.com/home/nieuws/2015/12/bicycle-lanes-have-devastating-ww2-impact-on-london-10125331 I love the idea of bikes causing pollution. The Lord in question does have some higher education, or not?

    Electric fishing bike...

    One of the things I do with my pedelec is hook up my trailer throw all the gear in and lash a few rods on top and go fishing. Today I went on foot but... fresh fish in the fridge for the first time in quite a while! :) I taught myself a new technique for me, fishing with paste. A mix of...

    Wanted - sine wave controller from 09 bottle battery

    I am looking for a 20A sine wave controller from a respected source and I think the controller from a BMS 09 battery will suit my purposes. BMS sell the whole deal for about 80€ but I don't need the LCD, throttle (yuck :rolleyes: ) and brake levers. PM me if you have one for sale. Cheers

    Quarter of All E-Bike Batteries Faulty Well who would have thought. Could Bosch be cheating with more than emissions?

    How many torque arms

    My new build looks to be my current rear motor kit in a bigger, more comfortable 700C frame. I really wanted to put a GSM CD in there but finances being what they are... I thought about running a web campaign but "poor underpaid bloke living in a wonderful part of the world needs funds for sexy...

    One thousand Km!

    Today I passed the one thousand kilometer mark. The ride was especially chosen for this milestone with lots (LOTS!) of hills and some fabulous scenery. As an apetiser I rode the usual 11 k to the station. First course: from Zumaia to Deba is basically a climb to 260 metres that is about 10...

    Decathlon Original 700 e-bike

    Today I had the chance of putting in a few km on my mates bike. He bought it on sale at 30% off retail because, I think, it is a first generation model with a front wheel hub motor. It has a Bafang motor and a 24V battery. I told him the battery was not an issue as he can upgrade to 36V when and...
