    Battery Fires

    A one or 2 off passion project perhaps, as a viable product? You will need a suitable rack/container system to be provided at a reasonable cost, adding a £20 rack to the final price will be cheaper than ensuring a fit all racks solution, and then you may as well incorporate the rack base or its...

    Home made pedelec

    yose kit is great for a standard use conversion, but for max performance in a 4 wheeler with the extra mass, you will want the 'biggest' motor that carries a legit 250w rating. There are some hub motors iirc bafang G60 or G20?? that while rated and stamped 250w for the eu/uk market are...

    New Bike Spoke Rust - Was I expecting too much?

    Yikes!! the bargain basement spoke set amazon sold me for just over a tenner delivered came with soft brass plated nipples that if not caught correctly in my naff multi-size spoke spanner were easily de-plated.. (still not as bad looking as OP's 1 yr on..) And i checked my other bikes too as...

    New Bike Spoke Rust - Was I expecting too much?

    I wonder might a quick brush round with an old toothbrush and some brasso turn what looks like brown rust back into golden shiney brass? if so a quick wipe over with an oily rag may shield the nipples from tarnishing quite the same way again so quickly?? While it may look like rust its not as...

    All I know is that there is a huge thread dedicated to them in the ES forum linked above ( forum not thread). i think its a frame design?? but the size of battery and motor generally employed elevates them well beyond our scope

    Difference between 250w and 350w motor

    A kt (ketung) brand controller is what is generally advised as an aftermarket upgrade/replacement. 2 reasons 1) a wide range of display lcd options, and 2) a configurable system tho the chenglish manuals are a pita.. ( Controller and display generally come as a pair and buying as such avoids...

    Hailong HL1 36v Batteries - on/off switch - yes or no?

    The Switch on a battery is desirable as it allows you to plug in the battery to the bike without a bang/pop and spark as the controller draws an initial load to charge its capacitors (or so I have been told is the cause). Such pops bangs and sparking can damage the terminal connectors resulting...
