    Help! Where can I get a good ebike battery UK

    Does @soundwave have a plan? Other than a backpack i can only think of splitting the battery mass between front and rear since its gonna have some significant mass and in only one off centre spot will have an impact on ride quality i would think. but im 'joe no clue' postulating after a few...

    New 36v battery dead, won't charge.

    Charger sounds ok, since the battery is so low voltage the bms is probably stopping a full charge from reaching the cells and my be trickle charging them until a safe voltage has been attained?? (Not an expert) if no luck after a few days (dont leave charging unattended or overnight) you...

    Bike build

    Hi, Welcome, and go for it.. Im very happy with my conversion using a kit from yose-power. The general consensus is that bikes with some suspension and disk brakes are the best candidates for conversion, mine has neither, and its still great but could be better.. The battery is the most...

    Wee Quartz

    Google is your best bet, appending the magic words "manual pdf" to the bike make and model should provide results. Hope your not having problems and just want the details to help maintain the bike.. but.. If your having problems with the bike, take photos of it and post them, aspects of...

    Charger recommendation

    If your confident in your Mrs's charger why not just borrow that when not in use? if a different connector is used a few quid spent on ebay/amazon/ali-express connectors and 20 minutes with a soldering iron and shrink fit tube is a lot cheaper than a charger. the basic 'tool' to shave off a...

    Shipping an ebike from Stockholm to the uk

    coming in late here, when looking for an ebike on ebay i contacted a few couriers and most only cared if any bike would fit inside a standard sized bike shipping box, so If your brother can remove the seat, pedals, front wheel and handlebars and fit inside a standard bike cargo/shipping box...

    Reduced range in the cold

    Fwiw I have noticed a significant drop in power over the last few weeks even with a fully charged battery, My return from shopping will take me up a (mostly) smooth uphill length of cycle track which with nominal effort from my legs I could sail up at 15-16 mph until recently. Currently im...

    non-folder to fit in the boot?

    Couriers charge circa £50 to deliver a cycle.. Might be worth looking into and contacting ebay sellers not local asking if they would be prepared to box up for the courier, the service i almost used would deliver a box and packing materials 1 day and pick up the boxed bike a day or so later...

    Cheers @Az. But for urban travel im happy on the ol boneshaker Most trips are fine to cycle out on requiring power for the return only now the novelty of ebike travel has worn off. higher speeds on my bike are not comfortable, I have a substantial mass and rim brakes.. so pre ebike conversion...

    Need help to Work out how many magnets are inside my hub motor

    The delay in the motors reaction to stopping pedaling might be a configurable setting too.. Check your headset/controller manuals.. It depends on the system firmware, many uk-eu destined ebikes have hobbled/limited firmware to hamper attempts to exceed the 25km/h speed limit. the delay is to...
