For now, I am myself also wondering if that idea would work. I need to prototype it, put 5kg weight on me and see how I'd feel over a week. Only if I feel that there isn't any problem carrying 5kg the whole day/weekend on me, then I'd consider making the battery. So I may not do that... but...

Is there any good insurance against thieves? Because it seems that battery is considered as spare and wouldn't be insured. Same as if I get my wheel stolen.

I need quick release ability on a normal battery. Unfortunately, the only one that do that are the one with 52 cells, they are not waterproof and they scream electric bike to everyone. I'm a bit ashamed every time I bring it to work and was planning to do something to fix that.. the bag sounded...

Hello, I have this crazy idea to have my battery in my jacket: http://www.ayegear.com/products/ayegear-j25-jacket I already ordered the jacket. It should arrive within the week. I'm planning to use 18650 cells, and because I have access to spot welder I can decide on the shape and...

Thanks for your kinds words. I've been using lipo for a few years but I've been past that now... It's something I'm not going to use anymore as I'm targeting safety and energy density. Furthermore... 18650 cells are actually cheaper than lipo! You just need to know the right supplier. I have...

Not sure it's about the number of likes that matters... it's not a referendum. if I were to give up ebiking I'd do normal cycling... the simple reason is that TFL is overpriced and crowded to a point I can't stand. My bike is currently faster than the train or bus... and I never understood why...

All these comments are not very kind :( Just as a reminder, most of my requirements are covered in the bike you can see here and the one for sale: - it is very decently waterproof. The mitts added to the handlebar makes a whole difference. I left bike under rain for nights and it's still...

Haven't been stolen many times (front light, rear light, seat post, 2 electric bikes, etc etc), I can tell you by experience that: - Thieves don't care about cutting electric, they just want the part taken as quickly as possible. I've got my front light pulled out with wires dangling... I don't...

hello, I went to the pub today to have a drink with some friends for an hour... and when I went out... I've seen this: I had to look... then look again... My battery is GONE! Someone stole it!!!! I can't see how anyone would want to get it, they can't get decent value out of it. I checked on...

No, I have to try it. But I've just got my battery stolen today and can't experiment. Will have to sort that too.

If I was a thief, I would be able to remove the big bear battery in less than 10 seconds with a simple bolt cutter: Simply cut the 2 legs on each side (see red lines on the picture) + the one attaching to the top (top red line). 3 to 4 cut and it's gone. A bolt cutter should cut it like...

I ordered a new puller. Waiting for it to arrive

I suppose I have to buy this gear puller (250mm?): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/450521-2-or-3-Arms-Press-Pulley-Gear-Wheel-Hand-Puller-100mm-to-350mm-Variation-/281301477030?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item417edfe6a6 Do I also need to remove the freewheel? In that case I don't know which...

i tried but failed. It was moving a little bit but no more... so I gave up Sacko you are right, I should have removed all connector and use heat shrink instead... What's the best I should do now?

See issue:

I tried to use amalgamating tape on the wires but I'm still having issues: But I still had issue with the "03 - error" of my controller which means wiring issue. So I tried to remove the cover of my motor. I tried to remove all bolt from both covers: I've noticed the cover does spin on...

It's always neater when it's lightweight. Any decent bike bag can be used.

Interest for what? Make some money flecc
