    Advice required on a brompton conversion

    Hello Slippa, Nice work with your Brompton!! So you have a 36V350W front motor with a 48V battery? (from Cellman?). And you can reach 22.5mph on it? According to the simulator, the BPM 36V500W would be around 18.6 mph at this voltage: So your bike is quite faster than what is expected from...

    Electric Brompton – custom build

    That's a nice pack Benjy, have you tried to see what's the total capacity you can use from the pack? I recommend you to do it so you'll know later the health of your pack. What the weight on the scale also?

    Advice on Electric Tralier

    That's funny because they said "100+ miles distance" without selling any battery. I'd say my bike can even do 1000 miles distance, if I buy a big enough battery lol

    Rear view camera

    Yes, it's one of those thread, and I will probably get a trolley later and I'm also thinking about getting rear view. I think the rear view mirror is a bit big and not that well placed on bike. I was wondering if it would make sense and if anyone tried this gadget! Yes, I like gadgets :)...

    eBrompton newbie

    I'd be interested to see the result between your small bafang and the crystalyte, both on continuous load (the G209 should perform a little bit better) and on acceleration (the Bafang should perform much better, althought it's a smaller motor so less torque) If you can check the acceleration at...

    [Thieves prevention] Spray the bike?

    Hello BCM, Most of the time, I bring my Brompton with me. When I go on groceries or when I go to work, that's what I do. But I can't do that everytime. And there are days where I have to park the bike. Going out with friend, a shopping day, going to cinema or museums are activities where the...

    eBrompton newbie

    Having a direct drive motor of 4.6kg on my Brompton, I'd say that it doesn't have as much acceleration as a similar geared motor. It is also much less efficient, unless you're cuising around 10-15 mph. I'd be interested to see power consumtion between a geared motor and a small direct...

    [Thieves prevention] Spray the bike?

    Not completely sure but seriously considering. I spent a lot of time on the bike, and the last thing I want to happen is to have it stolen. So I use this spray? AEROSOLS Spy Spray Guide Coat 400ml/Corcos | eBay And I'll have a nice rusty style but waterproof bike?

    [Thieves prevention] Spray the bike?

    haha, thanks guys, you convinced me! Red oxide primer for a rat bike!! That's nice! No one will suspect that's a thousand pounds e-brompton :) People think I'm crazy to cycle rather than take the tube, but actually I'm faster than them with my bike. Plus it's free :) So red oxide primer...

    26" dual suspension disc brake folding e-bike

    Hello guys, It's time for me to separate myself from this very well used folding bike. I need small bike (such as the brompton) because I travel frequently. I purchased it from Conhismotor and used it for 9 months to commute to work. It can go up to 34kph with no peddaling and have about 250wh...
