Following on from my last post.. I managed to test the MD80 camera today with the new Samsung 16GB SDHC class 10 card I bought..it made a HUGE difference! The camera performed very well on my bike, no dropped frames hardly and very decent quality video. Unfortunately I had the camera angle too...

Your motor looks and sounds exactly like my front hub motor on my 26" folder which came in a wheeled kit from rftech in Austria. I think possibly mine could be a Q100 as it weighs exactly 2.1kg I recognise your bike! It looks like the Raleigh Boardwalk Dahon made for them and another...

jhruk did you do a front or rear hub? I haven't seen the Q85 motor in rear version and wondered if they actually made one? How do you find the power from the Q85 is it ok compared to other motors? There's quite a weight difference between Q85 and Q100 I see.. 1.6kg v 2.1kg.

Mezzo D9 test ride and review.. Just got back from a quick 15 minute test ride.. (couldn't go much further because of my bad knee and sheer unfitness!) so here's my impressions of the Mezzo D9 and a sort of review.. What a fantastic bike!! I absolutely love it and didn't want to get off it. It...

Ack! I need to get the weight down not up! I may well end up removing the gears then to compensate. I'm hoping the saddle will be comfortable enough not need to replacing with a heavier one...it feels ok to sit on but riding it will be the real test. Everything else looks ok, good comfortable...

Thanks Jerry, I appreciate all the help with this build.. it's obviously a lot more involved than my first build! I feel quite daft now re the wheel rims measuring the tyre diameter... shows how much I know :o Well I've looked over every inch of the wheel rims and tyres (using the...

Me too! That's sensible British justice for you! In the US it seems Apple has the judges on their payroll or courts favourable to them.. I think that $1 billion compensation order to Apple from Samsung was outrageous miscarriage of justice and the ban on Samsung smartphone sales and imports in...

You're right, is there a proper way to do that? I have no callipers.. is it just a case of removing a tyre and measuring the actual wheel rim rather than trying to measure over the tyre? Here's a pic...

Mezzo weighing Mezzo Commuter Bag = 1.98kg Mezzo Bike 12.2kg!! (between 1kg and 400g bike weight difference, depending on which review you look at, they quote between 11kg / 11.8kg)... either my scale is wrong or there is some manufacturing changes happened to add more weight..there's...

Reading the Folding Bike Society's 2008 Mezzo review, I think Shemozzle999 is right...the Mezzo has 349mm wheels... My bike was manufactured 2009/2010 so I doubt that's changed, but I will contact the manufacturer to confirm. If they are 349 that's a bit of a let down as it means Big Apple...

That says it's for front fork, can it still be used for rear?

Uh oh, that makes me nervous I'm not the engineer type...just about swapping the wheel out is my limit ;-) Well we'll see how it goes, there's always help here I guess and I'm up for learning new tricks.. My reason for wanting to lose the gears was not purely a weight saving exercise, but also...

The only two potential weak points I can see on this bike looking at the design, are the fact the rack doubles as a stand and could get messed up if you folded outside.. and the strut on the front inner mudguard which secures the front wheel in fold position and keeps the fold together. The...

Thanks, I'm pretty much sold on the Q100 but just thought I'd check with someone more knowledgeable such as yourself about the suitability on these rear drop outs but it looks good to go then. The only other question I have is whether this rear drop outs will stand up to the torque from that...

What do you reckon then d8veh? Am I good to place an order for the Q100 or should I get a smaller Tongxin?

I've checked over the bike and it seems to be mechanically sound.. I've inflated the tyres (which proved a challenge as I seem to have forgot how to use my foot pump!) which had some horrible green slime in them. I've put the chain on and given the bike a good clean and it looks as good as new...

I've looked all through the manual and unusually there's no specifications or info on the widths, so I've got my tape measure out but I'm not sure exactly how to measure the rear drop out width.. I'm assuming you measure the complete inner space from one drop-out side to the other? If that's the...

Oh and here's the commuter bag..it's huge!

The Mezzo is here!! The Mezzo D9 arrived this afternoon but I had to wait until I finished work to open it.. just opened it up and checked it over.. I'm really pleased with it. The condition is much better than I expected, looks hardly used thanks to the anodising..as an added bonus the seller...

Very cheap price Lukas for a motor of that spec and a battery too! That should sell in no time!
