    ?? loss of power is a bit vague? perhaps a few more details as to when and where and if anything preceded etc.. ?£325 - for battery packs?? My old banger bike, (not in icon pic) can loose battery power when going over bumps in the rd as the old plastic mounting lugs have warped with sun heat...

    Help with Bafang Bird bike motor

    clear the old flex out to see what your dealing with more clearly, it could be a 'shallow' enough pinch to allow a shim to protect the inch or so of sleeve if anny you need to pull through? and with no flex to damage you could apply some more oomph to any levering up ;) looks like it was...

    Carrera E Vengeance

    Its a battery issue rather than a bike issue then. gotcha. - as above, also can you confirm the battery pack is fully charged and can you attempt to turn it on off the bike and test the voltage with a multi meter? Running headless (no display) suggests either a hack, mod, bodge, or blind...

    Carrera E Vengeance

    That looks like a battery level test button? - Not familiar with your bike tbh but generally the ON button is part of the handlebar display - i/o unit. What controls are on your bars?

    Looking for a ebike

    Try hanging around the bike racks at tesco etc... You might find more millage with a fully featured 2nd use ebay bike and applying a conversion kit. This will avoid the bespoke and closed systems used by most Branded ebike offerings which can brick a bike and limit options. It was a bit of a...

    How to ride a bike with 800w motor legally.

    The vid landed in my feed too, 40 secs in 800w PEAK output. However its a body mod more than a bike mod, Matey boy felt the impact jogging to the bike and walking up hill. It will be interesting when/if others produce similar augments with a bit more oomph and voltage, somehow these seem...

    Removing speed limiter

    In the absence of a 'dongle' or popular utube vid hack, the catch all solution (well most) is a replacement of the control system that contains the compliant programming with a generic model usually that will also provide more amps for torque and speed. If lucky its a pull and plug in a...

    There are a number of ktlcd displays as well as some 'dumb' led displays, The ktlcd-03 is popular, i use a ktlcd-10 (very similar), afaik any lcd display will give you access to the config parameters, but a quick google for the relevant pdf manual should confirm if in doubt before buying a more...

    Pedal assist not working

    Have you tried flipping the magnet disk side facing the sensor? Otherwise a pas cadence sensor is a pretty generic item so ebay/aliexpress etc for options so you can pick any that suits your bike/preferences. just pay attention to the connector type used to make the 3x connections. Edit...

    Fafrees Electric Bike Review

    If focusing on a UK audience perhaps 'spotlighting' bikes that are legal to ride. If your targeting an international audience? perhaps post in forums with a similar audience to avoid the snark..
