The police are not doing themselves any favours these days, about 5 years ago (normal bike not electric), I was stopped (5pm on a wet Sunday in February) for cycling at walking pace in a town centre - all shopppers and pedestrians were indoors where it was warm and dry so paths were deserted. I...

Hi, asking here for personal recommendations is sensible, sorry I can't help but please be careful if picking someone off Facebook etc who says they can do a conversion for you. A friend of mine near Bishop Auckland found somebody local to do a conversion for her, paid good money and got an...

Hi, not sure if I'm too late but I'm looking for either a bare rear hub that I can build up myself, or a complete wheel. I asked here, and a Q128 (maybe Q100) was suggested but I'm open to other ideas...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at options to change my 26" kit to 700C/28" and wonder if anyone knows of any suppliers who have sales on now? Any recommendations for a particular hub to look for? rpm? I weigh near 100kg, most use is on B-road and I'd prefer a high cruising speed to high torque. The...

I find it helps to mark a line on the stem so you end up with a straight cut, use a spacer or the handlebar stem and draw around with a marker. Sounds familiar - I've had a couple of VFR400s (NC21 & NC24) as winter rebuild projects but never put them on the road, used an early VFR750 (with...

I got some last year for about £25 from the shop below, they sell surplus stock cheap so their stock often changes, shame I can't see anything cheap but is worth checkling regularly...

Hi Nick, The electricals connections look to be a common style so there should be no problems finding a wheel that will physically fit and connect up to your exisitng electrics. Things to check (hopefully somebody more experinced can comment), do Benelli use standard wiring (or is is standard...

More info https://easifitebikekit.co.uk/product/the-easi-fit-ebike-converter-kit/ Bluetooth controls. The ad shows a controller called BTC02, a quick search finds a demo - looks like you remove the display to charge it (theft?), kit includes display & throttle. No pedal or brake sensors that I...

Duplicate post - best keep all replies on the new thread https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bpm-36v-500w-26-10.40670/ I'm sure someone with more experience than me will answer soon :)

Would a bottle battery fit or a frog type on the seatpost? https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/frog-ebike-battery.39924/#post-593157

Hi, as said above I suspect a lot of the issue is that moving from your lightweight carbon bike to a heavier Ebike is feels a lot different to what you are used use. Different sized tyres (or even different wheels) can work fine, no reason why you can't experiment until you find what you like...

If you can find an electric wheelchair or motability scooter (depending how big & heavy your cart is) you might get everything you need. Beware older batteries might need replacing.

Hi, a few thoughts: Avoid heavy bikes as you will be lifting them a lot, removing the battery will help. Removing the front wheel (and making sure there's no front mudguard) will make them a lot smaller but may not be enough. Folding bikes (and folding electric bikes) are available but I have...

I have a new favourite tyre size, 700/40 (maybe also 700/38 or /35) suits the gravel tracks and B-roads I normally use. I was so impressed with the ride on the scrap tyre I tried so I bought the same size new. I’d heard of 28” sizes but not tried them, this one even comes with a label saying...

I bought a black / bright green / dayglow green crash helmet as it was often dark when I cycled home in the winter, very disappointed to find the dayglow paint on the main section faded badly in the summer sunlight while the bright green sides are still eye catching. Bright tops (but not green)...

Looks like a fun toy! :)

Ok, I tried increasing C14 = 3 (max) but I can't tell any difference on a short test ride. For info, throttle strength depends on power level and I'm happy with that. Using no pedals, full throttle on power 1 works fine but is gentle, change to power=2 and the throttle gives more power ...

Hi, P3=1 (current control) , C5=10 (max current), C14=2 (general assist level for motor) Looking at the manuals for the KT controller some of the descriptions don't help a lot so any suggestions are welcome :)

Hi folks, I'm starting to get used to the KT setup I recently fitted and have noticed the throttle gives more assist than pedals. Settings are P4=0, C4=4 so the throttle should match pedal assist level, it's similar but throttle is maybe 20% stronger in all levels. It's very noticable when using...

I’m still making changes, today I tried a scrap 28x1.6 front tyre on for a run to the beach. I like it, handles well and very little drag from the tyres. Now I just need to find a way of getting a Curio 28” tyre smuggled out of the UK :D The owner of the place I’m staying at asked if anyone...
