I just finally bought some lights for my bike. Been pushing my luck riding without any until the last week what with it getting darker earlier and earlier. Anyway I left it to the last minute and so decided to get this cheap LED front and rear set off eBay for £3. Anyone else got some? I wasn't...

I'm really interested in this post and your alternative approach to power.. sheesh, can't believe how light these batteries are, I wish I had known before I bought my 2.5kg 36v 10Ah brick! Dadplus2 What bike are you using for your custom build?

some good choices Hi cwah, some great additions there... I did consider a Downtube as my first choice (the orange one without suspension) but they don't seem to be available in UK and the colour wasn't really to my liking. The Giant is well worth considering, great name.. and the unbranded...

I'm currently looking for a 20" folder to do my second conversion project.. my requirements are: 1. Under £400 2. Ideally weighing less than 12kg 3. Hub gears preferred 4. White or black frame 5. Must have a rear rack And here is my short-list of contenders: Oyama St James 2010 - black...

Seems to be a bit hit and miss with BMS doesn't it..if the item is in stock like mine, they're really quick I got mine in like 4 days...other times it can take 2 weeks. I haven't been charged any VAT or Duty (yet) on my battery, the invoice said it was $70 value so it's above the £18...

Are you fitting a rear hub motor then to avoid having to mess with the forks which I believe are aluminium on the Raleigh Boardwalk Lite? If you're going for a rear, how will this affect the gears?

Hi Frank, I'm curious did you end up converting a Raleigh Boadwalk Lite in the end? I have that bike on my short-list of possibles for my next bike conversion..I thought the aluminium frame might be a problem though for a front-wheel hub motor.. interested to hear your experiences/thoughts...

where battery is? you send? when? :D Sorry couldn't resist

I enjoyed that :) Looks like your bike was loaded up there..that tunnel looked quite scary! Your camera gives a lovely rock steady picture doesn't it even the bumpy off road track didn't phase it.

I had quite a few problems ordering mine, the order wouldn't seem to be accepted and then it kept saying "no carrier for your country" I think their shopping cart is a bit flaky. Took quite a few attempts and they didn't respond to e-mails (don't think their English is very good) but once the...

Wearing my gloves and pullovers again for first time in ages...getting a bit cold isn't it! I urgently need to get some lights for my bike, got nothing and it's getting dark earlier now I just about got back in time.

Phew, glad the damage wasn't too serious and didn't ruin your holiday!

Impressions of BMS Lithium-Ion 36V 10Ah Battery Well I've just got back from my daily ride to the sorting office across town.. I don't know how far exactly it is, but I reckon it's about 4 miles round-trip. I had planned to film it and got my camera jacket all ready for my Vado only to discover...

Very neat solution d8veh!

Excellent :D I should get more organised and get mine finished so I can make a video. I still haven't even got round to buying one of those keyring cams been meaning to for a while after the good results we saw before. I will order one later on after work.

Hi Alan, your PSP looks about the same shape and size as my n810. Is that mounting something you made yourself, is it secure? Here's a sneak preview of my n810... Here is the camera view. It has a tiny camera built in but it's somewhat grainy and not very good, it's intended for video...

Update... I'm not sure if I mentioned but I actually did purchase a device for my electronic rear view mirror..a 4.5" nokia n810 internet tablet which has built-in Sat Nav and a USB port (cost £45). The screen is fantastic works in bright sunlight perfectly and it looks ideal for the job, only...

Things don't always go as smoothly as expected! I've just finished installing the new battery onto the bike. What a fiasco! I expected just to drop it into the handlebar bag. Ha, was I in for a surprise! No sooner had I managed to squeeze it in I realised it had the wrong connector type for...

Never considered a front rack, in fact never heard of them! I'll have a google..

Thanks scotty, that's good to know. I use my bike every day for work and travel about 5 or 6 miles round-trip and normally have to charge the 5Ah every day. I uploaded some pictures of the battery above, I'm astonished the size is almost the same as the 5Ah battery. Re mounting the battery...
