    New build.

    Thats actually higher than what I would have presumed the Tongxin was capable of to be honest. So good going on getting some clear figures. Very useful for people creating new builds that still want a light fast rolling hub without destroying the poor thing.

    IF Reach - The perfect commuter bike

    Bromptons fold up really small to the point none notices them. There possible the best folder but like before you wouldn't be able to stick a big motor on it.

    Derby Cycles Doubles e-bike sales

    Thats some interesting news there Flecc. Positive at least. I'm fed up about hearing about the demise of retail at the moment. Least my hobby is becoming more popular. Maybe I should get a job sourcing Ebike's ;-)

    Police

    I think as long as your riding sensibly I don't think they have any reason to. But if your hooning about and generally causing a bit of a disturbance they have reason to stop you. Stay Safe!

    New Haibikes for 2012

    Lovly Bikes. Would have expected a slightly larger battery. But then again you can attach another battery to it. At 500w peak that should be a good 15amp controller on board too. Should be powerful enough through the gearing to do what you like with.

    WANTED : Geared Hub - Any...

    To be honest with the way prices are on the Bafangs you may as well order a Mac from Cell_man as there similar prices currently... Least that way you get more support and you get to choose exactly what you want. The Bafang BPM a year ago cost roughly $150 USD for an entire kit with the motor...

    WANTED : Geared Hub - Any...

    Hello GT3, It will be less than the BPM becasue of the size of the Stators and Magnets. It will be naturally less. The copper fill will also be less. So the amount of power / current you can safely push through it will be less. The standard motors are generally ok up to 600 - 700 watt...

    WANTED : Geared Hub - Any...

    Hello GT3, Thanks for the above. You are the one with the Bafang Swxk Front 250w Motor then? On the lipo I have it should pull about 20mph and be quite quick. Probably be pushing the little motor but what do you need to compare it exactly?

    WANTED : Geared Hub - Any...

    Nope I haven't, which is a shame. I still have my BPM running at the moment. Its not as quiet as it used to be as the cage bearing is probably on its way out. However the motor itself works as normal. The clutch is locked on it though and I've regreased it all and it has made a difference...

    Battery Monitor/ Cycle Analyst

    No offence taken. I was just being tight! I will invest one of the days when I push past the 60v thresh hold. My gps on the iPhone is also quite accurate even in poor weather. It's not perfect like a standalone unit. But for a phone it's quite good. It does do Sally things though. Once I...

    Truing the wheels

    It takes a bit of getting used to. Turn the bike upside down. Position pencil or look at the v brakes. Spin wheel slowly. When the rim moves away from the pencil stop the rim. Find exactly where it moves. Now to bring the rim closer to the pencil yo need to find the spoke that's laced on...

    Truing the wheels

    Just the one will do. You can do both if you like but you only need one fixed point to do it. Do to you tube and type in truing for wheels or wheel building and you can watch how it's done n

    Truing the wheels

    If you have v brakes you can use them as a gauge. Not as accurate as a stand but will do it. If not strap a pencil to the fork and use it as a gauge. As long as it's at a fixed point you can do it.

    BMS Battery conversion kit

    I did do this when I had the 36v battery mounted on the rack. I ran it up to the handle bars and tie wrapped it on the stem. As soon as it hit autumn/winter and I got rid of the rack and went Lipo I ditched it and just left it in the bag with the batteries. After using a 10ah 44v battery for...
