My brompton is following me everywhere!! Soreditch: Oxford circus: Picadilly: :)

Damn! Couldn't buy it for £400, as expected :p Anyone in this forum won this bid?

I've seen these butt solder connectors, but I think that they are expensive for what it is. I'd just solder as normal the wire then add a glue lined heatshrink to make sure the connection stands: 12.7mm BLACK HEATSHRINK ADHESIVE GLUE LINED 1m 3:1RATIO | eBay It's cheaper, the glue lined...

I'm not planning to buy it, just put a bid for the sake of bidding lol. I know it will never be sold at £400 :p

Jerry, do you think the nano has enough torque for someone that weight 18 stones? I was thinking that the q100 or q128 would be better for the job

No, I don't think so. They do not exist for 16" tyre. I wanted them too for my brommie :p

Jerry has a Tongxin, so he can probably advise you best on the motor torque. If I were you, I would: - buy a second hand brompton at £400 - get a Q100 kit from bmsbattery with its associated battery: between 200-300£ Then for 700-800£ you got the right bike for you

It uses a 36V battery. As this is a nano-brompton, I'd just get a 10AH from either ping (£300 but last forever), lifepo4 from ebay around £200 (but probably less good quality/support) or lipo for the cheapest price. Or you can buy with me an A123 36V20AH pack from Victpower for the best...

I've put my latest review on my brompton thread: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/11243-brompton-electrification-18.html Don't hesitate to ask questions directly on the thread if you're interested ;)

I have pedal on my ebike I use only when I don't have enough power to go back home lol

I've put a bid on it just in case I can buy it for £400 :p

Yup, Cyclezee provides good deal for the torque arms. I purchased a pair from them :)

Hello there, Just found this new article on the torque arms: Grin Technologies - Torque Arms We all need to read and apply, to make sure our fork don't break under the motor torque!! :)

All trailer seem super heavy. Do you know of any trailer that would weight less than 5 kg at convenient price?

my bike is very power hungry, I'm using around 20wh/km so I tend to have 592 wh battery lol. Because it's lipo, it's still quite light at 4kg. I don't have specific destination yet, but last time I went to Barcelona by plane, bringing my bike seemed to be an impossible task ps: I know I can...

Noooo... I'm having so much fun on my electric bike. Cycling is for me like... doing exercice!! I don't like that lol

Actually Nimh can also catch fire on the wrong condition. So I suppose they may also be forbidden in planes. I'm not a mobility aid person, I just have interest in bringing the bike with me when I travel. Of course, if bringing it to plane is going to cost £1000, I better buy a new pack...

So car, train or ferry for ebike travelling. I was just wondering what the customs says when they scan you battery pack? I imagine a 1000wh battery under a x-ray scanner must look like a bomb. And it could be one! I was wondering if I may have a risk of being seized with such a big lipo pack lol

The Dahon Uno is an excellent choice. Lightweight and clean. I almost purchased this one until I decided that the Brompton is the only bike suitable for my need. For the lightest kit possible, you can either: - Buy a Goldant motor kit: The total kit weight less than 2 kg. You can see the thread...

Too bad. :( I suppose that if I want to go to Ireland with my ebike, I'd need to go by boat lol
