    Brightest possible front light

    Very similar to whats been suggested last year I used one of these linked below. Some of my family and friends now have them. The are great value, have three beam settings low how and flash. I use it mainly on low but sometimes switch it to high on the darker part of my ride. The mount is also...

    My ebay Electric folder

    I have no idea as I said its all a lottery. There comes a point though when backup support and returns make it better to buy in the UK. Regards Jerry

    Kudos Secret Folding Bike - Electric Bike Magazine Feature

    Interesting read. What is the max saddle height (top of saddle to top of pedal) ? It just looks way too low in the pics on your site! PS just re-read the article and all is made clear. I do like a higher saddle position as I like to assist a lot. Regards Jerry

    My ebay Electric folder

    Even with my £70 batteries I must admit these begin to look quite good. All a lottery with import duty of course. 36V8.8AH bottle battery/ dolphin battery for electric bicycle, mounted on e-bike frame online store for electric bicycle components-GreenBikeKit.com Or these cheap and VERY light...

    My ebay Electric folder

    Nice little bike especially the suspension back and front :p The challenge I find with small folding bikes is getting the seat high enough. In terms of A123 cells I guess you would only need 8 and maybe split them down into two 4s1p. That said this will only give you 2.3Ah which is unlikely to...

    Wheel size

    Although the rim diameter may measure 20" diameter edge to edge don't forget you have to add the width of the tire * two. So in your case a 20" wide rim with 2" * 2 width tires would be 24" :) How to measure your bicycle wheels or http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-a-Bicycle-Wheel There is...

    Dahon Boost

    Never tried one but read up about them a lot. There are a few reviews on line I think. My impression, maybe mistakenly, is that they have not been over successful/sold well ? The reviews and hopefully an owner here might confirm that either way. I think they were initially very expensive but...

    Using the motor as an anti theft device.

    Thanks though none of my bikes get parked up anyway. They all come with me folded up :) Regards Jerry

    Using the motor as an anti theft device.

    Using the motor as an anti theft device.

    Already available using the popular Speedict device (bluetooth control via an Android phone), though could still be wheeled off or the same thing achieved as you say by removing the battery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQNVjrWkP3I Regards Jerry

    Cheap Brompton Conversion Kit?

    I am not sure that would be possible without overvolting it. This has been discussed often in that do you really want to do 26mph unassisted on a 16" wheeled bike lol Regards Jerry

    Lyen & other programable controllers

    I can now confirm that this is based on an Infineon 3 controller. Having spoken to a lot of other now it seems these controllers are available from a wide range of suppliers. The beauty of Eds one for me, is I wanted something plug and play and apart from the programming challenge for me this...

    Powering a Dahon mu-n360?

    Nice John and good to see the welded carrier block on the front to attach luggage. The Brompton has it and IMHO ALL smaller wheeled bikes should. PS I notice your appear to have Big Apples fitted another "almost" must if you have no suspension on small wheeled bikes. Regards Jerry

    Powering a Dahon mu-n360?

    Well you are definitely looking at a front hub conversion if you wish to to maintain the rear hub. You would need to check front fork spacing and I am guessing they are less than 100mm, which then restricts you to narrow width hubs like the Tongxin and Cute 85. IMHO I don't think you need...

    Lyen & other programable controllers

    YAY I cracked it :D I took a look at Lyen's software and noticed his board is EB306 not the default EB206 on the XPD software i.e. this is an Infineon 3 not 2. Changed it to Infineon 3 and EB306 and it programmed just fine. You do seem to have to push the button once let go again and then push...

    Lyen & other programable controllers

    Well as hard as I try I can't seem to get it to upload the settings. Mostly it just sits there waiting for me to push the button even after I do it dos nothing holding it for 10 seconds. It did work twice but produced an error "invalid reply byte fe" so now I am stuck with a controller in...
