I rang Whoosh yesterday but I must admit I like their battery charger policy which is to only sell to Whoosh customers for the simple reason that many eBikes get stolen and people ring up for a charger. I asked "What if I can prove I'm genuine" and pointed to this Forum with my username. She...

We have a leaky garage and where I placed my charger water must have fell on it and somehow seeped in.

Thanks. Any other chargers out there so I have a choice? It was water damage, when I opened the case loads of water came out -

My charger has just died (5 weeks out of warranty) that I use with a 36v 9Ah bottle battery but I don't want to pay that amount - http://cyclotricity.com/parts-and-accessories/ (bottom item on that page). I will ask the company if I've still got any warranty on it but I'm thinking 12 months is...

No, just the rear wheel. Cyclotricity were wonderful with me and offered the upgrade free of charge but (and I know I can restrict) I felt uncomfortable being able to reach those speeds on throttle alone (if you've got it you use it) and there was also a couple of times when I ran out of juice...

I've mentioned this before but the amazing Cyclotricity came all the way from Aldershot to my house in Stoke and completely overhauled my Stealth bike because of several mechanical faults I had. Not only did they replace everything with updated parts but also fitted a rear 500 watt wheel which...

Selling my 500 watt rear wheel because I have no need to ride at 24 mph on the throttle. I also ride my Trek conversion without electric for at least 95% of my commute but the bike this came off was way too heavy to ride without power and I used it for about 2 months max. It retails for £180 new...

From the Cyclotricity manual - Before you use the battery for the first time it is best to fully condition your battery. This is achieved by charging your battery for 12 hours and then using the bike until the battery is completely drained.Repeat this process at least three times. After this...

I tried the newer battery today on the bike and it worked as expected so my older battery must be losing power. I've asked a question in this thread about discharging so I can recondition the battery if possible - http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/making-a-lightbulb-discharger.20008/page-2

I have two 36v 9Ah bottle batteries and I want to be able to discharge them effectively so I can 'condition' the batteries again according to the manual. Using d8veh's 12v heaters how many would I need? How do I know when it's discharged, will the water stop boiling? Anything else I need to...

That's worth trying, I suppose all I have to do is pull the leads apart however my Cyclotricity bike is really heavy and with no assist it's like riding up bank everywhere but since the cabling is so easy I can just put them back together so I'll experiment. I don't use assist at all on my Trek...

I've got one of these ordered from another thread I started - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390932345418?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT The bike was left in my garage from Sep 23rd 2014 until I tried to take it out on Dec 27th and it suddenly had the problem. The battery was...

Bugger, both my repaired lead and new lead haven't worked :( Here's my problem, I can cycle along no problem on pedal assist 2 but when I decide to give a bit of throttle to go up a bank my computer screen will go off and it will be about 5 seconds before it comes back on and I'm on pedal...

All coming clearer now so thanks. I'll get one of those meters that Mike linked so I can have a play.

Still a bit confused. Is there a way to see how many watts there are in it with that device, perhaps when I'm moving? I read somewhere that to calculate your watts you multiply the volts by the Ah so in my case 36v x 9Ah = 324 watts. An average wattage usage per mile is 20 watts so I would get...

I'm confused Mike. I've done a bit of reading and that meter would go between the controller and battery so surely when you turn the battery on it would show how many Watts/Volts you have in your battery and it would steadily decrease over time?

Somebody must have come across this before and solved it. I want to buy another 250 watt Cyclotricity kit (I like them) but I'm not bothered about a computer or pedal assist so basically motor, bottle battery and throttle. How would I go about displaying an accurate readout for the battery? I...

Cyclotricity once again provide excellent customer service. I emailed them at the same time I posted the problem here and 3 months after warranty they sent me a new lead when I explained it was probably my fault by putting the battery on while turned on.

All working now, thanks. Quite strange that even though one red and one black were broken off the bike was still working to a point. It was only when I gave it a lot of throttle that the display would turn off and then come back on 5 seconds later. If I put pedal assist on 3 or more it would...
