Until now, I've always been purchasing my phones second hand via gumtree. So they are not registered anywhere... and not eligible for insurance because I don't have receipt. I'm planning to have a proper plan, a proper new phone. And proper insurance now. And too sad I don't know about...

Hello there, This post is not about ebike, but just a general post about robbery and theft in London. I've been in London for 2 years and it's the 4th time I've to replace my phone!!!: - I have had initially a Samsung S2, I unfortunately forgot it in my office while it was charging overnight...

I can't because my brompton is made to be folded. Wires move a lot during this folding process. I see it like the braking cables from the bike, they move a lot but stay in place! That's what I want to do with my wires. Also, now I'm trying the DB connectors: It needs soldering but wires are...

267£ for a crimping tool?? that is damn expensive lol. Also, what terminal can be used with this tool? I noticed the common plug we use for ebike are really unreliable: I can't count the number of time one or many wires pull off the plug from vibrations or other. And also the number of...

NRJ can you point me to any tool and terminal that would allow to crimp 20-24AWG wires? These little wires are annoying to solder and never managed to crimp them properly.

I think crimping can be good for wires under 14awg. I've never seen good crimp on small wires. They are so weak. Just pull and they die. I tried that, and that was my most painful moment with crimping. Try crimping 20AWG wires, you'll see how weak are the connections.

The small wires coming from my flasher with a layer of glue gun protection... It always feels like if I don't protect these mini wires with at least 1 layer of heatshrink, it's just going to snap from any bad pull

Thanks for the insight guys. 1. Always make sure the solder, wires and connectors are all on the same temperature for soldering 2. Always tin the wires 3. Make sure no movement happens during the solder solidification process. I've noticed that when you're moving the solder takes another whiter...

Hehe, thanks for the insight :cool: But for now I'm still considering different options. Ezee V2 is still very appealing because according to the simulator it's more torquy than the BPM and BMC. And that's what I'm looking for more than the top speed (25 mph is enough for me) But...

Yeah, maybe the Bafang SWX would be an option. I wouldn't be cruising at much more than 900W anyway, but acceleration wise I'm doing now 4000W with my Mac now :cool: My only worry is that these 2 SWX together may not be as torquy as 1 Mac 8T... So I'm still considering... And you're right, I...

My ebike usually fail when... - I plug the wires incorrectly, such as doing reverse polarity, that killed a controller and a DC converter. Quite an instant death! - My small AWG 24 snap because of a small pull... Had my speedometer that has its wires snapped so many times, my light snapped, my...

Thanks for your kind words D8veh. :) I'm not sure yet about which to get, the Cute100 doesn't look powerful enough and double BPM a bit on the heavy side... I was thinking about dual Ezee V2 but they may overspin and Cyclezee doesn't want to sell them to me.. Now I just had my Mac that stopped...

That is incredibly low D8veh. Even on the simulator, under the same condition I have something like 9.x wh/mile. It's like you have a 85% efficiency motor at this speed. I'm now thinking about a dual BPM, I hope I'll have the same results!

Damn, why isn't him selling it anymore? And also what's the width of the Bafang? I believe it should be 100mm as it's the standard width.

What's the width of the Bafang? I believe it's 100mm as the Ezee isn't it? I'm also thinking about having a front motor but I'm just afraid about the power of the small bafang. I may go on a Mxus from Cellman at 3 kg for a little bit more power but still less than the Ezee.

I think it's much more likely that the controller fail than the motor. I had for now 2 different controller that have failed and never for any of my motor. Spokes can come loose as well as wires. But these are not issues related to either the controller or the motor. Also, the closest...

I spin out from 25 mph onward. I usually use the motor to help me go up to 20-23 mph and do the remaining part myself. It looks like I'm pedaling really fast lol. But as said, from the stop point it's quite hard to start. It's ok however because my motor has a huge torque when throwing 2000W on it.

That is a damn insightful stat D8veh!! For hill climbing, a dual motor is way better than a single one! And not just a few percent, it's as big as 25% difference. Big enough difference to buy a new bike if you do a lot of mountain cycling. Still wonder what would be the efficiency on flat...

Yeah, it's on the lowest gear. It's not difficult to pedal without battery but it's on the lowest gear. So it's quite hard to pedal until I reach a decent speed. But I never pedal without battery lol, the only moment I do that is when the controller fail :p

Best motor for brompton: The mac 8T can do 20 mph finger in the nose and able to lift the front wheel at 2500W!
