    Freezing weather and eBike problems

    With a screwdriver but I also have a plug that plugs in the end of cable making a circuit so I don't need the display, it also stays on max pedal assist. if I come out of work today and it flashes I'll put that on and will know it's something to do with a frozen display however it's warm today :)

    Freezing weather and eBike problems

    Yesterday I got to work really pleased my battery lights on my computer were showing 3 out of 4 lights meaning I might get 3 commutes out of my new battery (27 miles and I'd already done half that). When I was leaving work my first LED was flashing on and off which normally means the battery is...

    Battery maintenance tips please

    My commute is 10 miles and (using the common calculation) I should get around 23 miles. I only see LEDs on my computer/battery. I've just made this and after a full charge I did 3.5 miles this morning and the Watt Meter tells me 40.76v http://www.dmpoole.co.uk/pics/wattmeter.jpg

    Battery maintenance tips please

    You have been so helpful, anybody would think I haven't had eBike batteries for 5 to 6 years :) One more question: I should easily get two days commute out of the battery, would you recommend I do the 2 days or because it's L-ion it doesn't make a difference if I charge every day, it won't...

    Battery maintenance tips please

    I've got it in my head over the last 5 years that even though it turns green if I carry on charging I get more miles from it :) If I start charging at 5.30pm and then go into the garage at 11pm it has always turned green but I let it carry on for another 9 hours. Are you saying that I'm...

    Battery maintenance tips please

    Thanks for that I'll charge at 11pm before I go to bed. The batteries do charge with the switch on and off but I'll leave it on when charging. Another question: When I get to work is it best to switch the battery off because I've always left them on? Thanks

    Battery maintenance tips please

    Hi I've just taken delivery of a new 36v 12.8ah bottle battery and I want to keep this one in tip top condition if possible. I've got two eBikes fitted with Cyclotricity gear and they have served me well, both batteries have got much shorter memories for a while now and two weeks ago one of...

    Spec me a 36v 250w 26" front wheel please

    Hopefully it might have been a dirty/faulty/not connected motor cable because the bike seems to be working OK now. I'll give it a bigger run over the weekend to make sure. Thanks

    Spec me a 36v 250w 26" front wheel please

    It's all gone wrong again. On Monday I heard a noise but by yesterday it had all failed again making horrible noises and eventually switching off :( The wheel still spins as though there's nothing wrong with it!

    Spec me a 36v 250w 26" front wheel please

    Just spent some time fixing my bike and the wheel did exactly as you said it would. Changed the controller and there was no difference so eventually changed the main lead that the computer and throttle go into and it worked :) £15 fix and to think because I know about washing machine motors I...

    Spec me a 36v 250w 26" front wheel please

    Thanks for that, funny thing is that around two weeks ago my throttle stopped working and I have a virtually identical second bike and that throttle didn't work. There have been other little things happening where I thought the controller could be breaking down. I will try your test and put the...

    Spec me a 36v 250w 26" front wheel please

    My motor was making a noise intermittently yesterday and became a full on faulty washing machine motor today and decided to not work at all. I've repaired to many motors to know this is FUBAR'd so I'm looking for a new one. I've had Cyclotricity wheels in the past (this is 5 years old) but...

    Sub £1000 bike for a 7 mile commute on canal towpath. Less sweats needed!

    My advice is that even if your canal towpath/commute features 5% very bumpy pathway then you need an MTB unless you're willing to get off or ride very slowly. Both my road bike and hybrid would be killed by some of our canal towpath.

    Where can I buy a decent battery from?

    I still haven't had a reply. Which battery because everything says out of stock? Anyway I think I'm going with Elifeshop for a 36v 17ah with extra battery 'slider' as they call it. I might as well go with them because at least they are in Germany where Eclipse are on Mars and un-contactable.
