Haha, No not to hand I'm afraid, I don't tend to keep batteries in stock any more as there's so many different shapes/types these days. I just order them in. That's not to say I couldn't do you a good deal though :) Martin

As flecc says above, he is a genius when it comes to panasonic motors! :) I have a later model panasonic motor, as used by derby cycles (Kalkhoff) brand new here ready to go. I have had a quick look on your behalf at second hand units and they are hard to come by. I think realistically...

Ian, Just to let you know your charger and lighting cables have arrived! I ordered a couple spare cables too if anyone else requires them. I will of course drop you a quick email this afternoon. Regards Martin

Hi Alban, Try using UPS, we have had them deliver batteries in the past to us from abroad? May be an option? I certainly wouldn't trust ryan air with my ebike! Martin

It also adjusts compression whilst riding, say you hit a log with the front wheel, within 0.01 seconds the rear shock is adjusted to suit! As current we offer the EI set up with lapierre bikes the cost for it is roughly £300 on top of the bike. It also gives you the option to change the front...

Hi Alex, You are right in some sense that it could go wrong, this is the first thing that springs to mind when applying any electric to a outdoor device. That said I think this is the only realistic way of moving forward in the cycle trade. As it has proved in the car industry. You can...

Wow, What a decent genuine guy!

Hi guys, We received our first bike in yesterday with 'EI' (Electronic Suspension) I know the bike doesn't have a motor on it. But for all the like minded people on here I thoughy you may like to read. More info here - Ei Shock | Cycles Lapierre First look review here -Lapierre +...

Looks like something a fighter plane engineer knocked up in the 60's. A tin fascia and toggle buttons ;) Martin

Garry, I think a support team would be in hand. It may turn into formula 1 before we know it! I can see battery changes being turned into seconds.. In, out, no messing about! Lets hope it doesn't become political ;) But in all seriousness this would have to be planned well for the guys...

Yes that calculation is correct for the many hub drive bikes around, but it depends how efficiently the power is applied also. For example a 400wh (roughly 11ah) Bosch battery on a crank drive motor can perform this sort of mileage. Here is a graph to determine range on each mode. Ok...

Hi, Just read your review on amazon. I think the old saying stands.. You pay for what you get! Good luck in the ebike world! Regards Martin

Hi, It's a little hard without seeing the battery. Ideally I need it in the workshop, so I can strip it. See what's in there, test it and possibly replace. Like cakey said it may be hard to replace the internals if only that one manufacturer offers that battery for that particular model. I...

Hi fergus, I have a Panasonic unit I may be able to part with.. For a good price.. The motors are £400, how much have 50cycles quoted? Regards Martin

Yeah I think you would only participate if you knew you had the range! I know a lot of the Chinese bikes will only do 15-30 miles on a charge. But anyone one a German, Panasonic/Bosch crank drive could easily do that. We have been 50 miles on high assist before. In fact I have heard of...

Hi, With the NiMH batteries it's normally a case of a load of round cells taped together as a pack, therefore we often have to order in specific replacement battery's from the manufacturer. Things were a lot easier with the old nicad battery's where we could measure up the 3 x 12v cells and...

Hi guys, I was speaking with a chap yesterday organising a charity ride to raise money for a charity that supports neuromuscular diseases. I mentioned the fact that electric bikes could help with people in this situation, and maybe the idea of getting a bunch of ebike riders together to...

Give frank at powabyke a call he will get one out to you next day. Really nice fella to talk to as well. Regards Martin

Hi geezee, Off memory they have a 36v battery, Think they offered a 13ah or 15ah option? If you send me the battery I can test them and replace if necessary. Regards Martin

Hi Guys, OK so were having a clear out and I need shot of my ex display Giant Escape 1's.. They are being sold as a pair, for a ridiculous price. They are my ex display bikes so they have been ridden, however are in pretty much new condition (See pics). Full Specs can be found here -...
