^ Hi, I can't answer the question but if anyone wants to decode these, my hub (36v rear cassette bought 3 months ago) reads: 36EW-G27C H20010219.

Hi, difficult to tell but the flat sides of the axle should be in line with the slot the axle fits into. In the 2nd photo it looks like the axle has spun around, this could be what is causing problems. Do you have anti-rotation washers fitted?

Different parts of the uk have very different attitudes about bikes, trying to improve things in popular cycling areas makes sense - but be realistic. From personal experience: Cambridge & Fens : good weather, very flat - lots of bikes, mixed abilities. North Devon & South West : good weather...

The bike is in regular use. Pic shows the kit, collecting 2x 5ft lights, inflatable paddle board on the back rack, and at a nearby pond. All good fun :cool:

I’m in Algarve, choice here is 50/50 split between SuperBock and Sagres. Bock has a malt taste similar to the dark beers I like in the UK. Grips are diy from a cheap bar towel and some bits of scrap plumbing pipe. Bar ends are same, caps glued onto plugs that fit inside the bars. Just for fun...

What a design disaster! A 5 minute video shows lorrys waiting to get onto the roundabout block cycles & pedestrians, cars leaving the roundabout have to stop with dangerously exposed back ends until there's a gap in the cyclists - just a few cycles causes gridlock on the roundabout. The long...

Hi. The 2 bikes I've used behave differently, the older one needs the key to turn it on. The newer one is like yours - you can turn it on without the key, key is only needed to remove the battery.

I have a rear hub with rack mounted battery, the bike rides fine but is very tail heavy especially with shopping in the panniers. The rear tyre carries a lot of weight, rear punctures are common but never had a front puncture. I'd expect a down tube battery to give better weigh distribution but...

Brake pads need changing every 2 months (stopping 150kg bike/rider/luggage from 45kmh takes some effort) Planning ahead to get a battery fully charged just before I need it (6 hours to charge the 36v 13ah battery using standard charger) A multimeter & fair understanding of electronics is needed...

Look at the other government incentive schemes for an idea of what to expect. The "Help to buy" scheme gives first time house buyers a sizeable loan that's intrest-free (for several year) towards the cost of a new-build home. The result is builders have put the price of new-build homes up as...

Hi, my motor is different but similar enough to be helpful. You need to remove the bearing from the shaft first (tyre leavers , screwdrivers as elevers, bear puller?) on mine the bearing came off with the sidecover. Then I could remove the large rusty plate holding the 3 nylon cogs using just...

Hi, a few people on here have suggested raised handlebars made by company on-one rather than fitting a stem extender. https://www.planetx.co.uk/c/q/components/finishing-kit/handle-bars Could the shop you bought it from help maybe exchange it for a larger size as it you bought what they...

Hi. I'm not an expert but a quick look at the bike makes me think you should be OK to swap the working motor from your bike to your wifes. Put the best battery onto hers, put her noisy motor onto yours then sell yours as a complete E-bike for spares or repairs? Or keep it yourself for spares...

I have a rack mounted battery on a strong frame, cheap panniers + plastic crate bolted on top. Ideal for shopping and can even carry a full size inflatable paddle board :cool:

@Chainring - I wasn't going to say anything but I have to agree with you. The Guardian has an interesting article which says its all carefully planned. It could be total fiction or it could be more accurate than we'd like to think...

Hi, I fitted a similar style (but with a single front fixing to my mudguard mounting). I like it, the bike is quite tail-heavy but rides fine. Check your frame has holes to mount the rear supports (do you have holes for a mudguard? I had to make plates to fit over the axle) The kit looks like...

I installed one last month, it seemed to fit OK but on first ride I found it wasn't 100% secured so I had to retighten (overtightened?) the bolts when I got home. Surely clamping it in a vice has to close up the new extension til the gap becomes nil? Or have I misunderstood ?

Hi, maybe look into mobility scooters. I don't know what systems or voltages they use but many have been converted as diy projects. Gearbox may be a problem (they often use rear axle with differential) but maybe the motor and controls would be OK for you.

Thanks for confirming, same as you I'm thinking I'd like to try a KT controller & display to see if I prefer the way they operate.

Mine feels the same. It makes no sense, the freewheel works fine and should make drag impossible.
