    Battery decision

    My Batribike Quartz Folder has Leisger stamped on the Controller Cover and in 9 years I have had no problems with it . That Milano looks nicely balanced and the motor/battery combination looks good . I was drawn to it last July but it was out of stock at the time on Amazon, so I went for the Pro...

    Battery decision

    Intel I have the Pro Rider Flare with the Dapu mid drive and similar battery Ah and you should get your 30 miles range out of it . As has been stated the Woosh machines offer long range batteries and I can vouch for the battery quality of Woosh . My Brother has a 6 year old Woosh and it still...

    Charger stolen

    I turn my Ebike Chargers off when the LED turns green . The instructions with my Pro-Rider Flare mid motor drive says to leave it showing green for 1 hour . As it`s charging in a shed at the bottom of the garden it`s not always adhered to !

    Charger stolen

    On re-reading my Saga above I should have emphasised the importance of measuring the Voltage Output of any Charger that is purchased, before connecting to the Ebike Battery . This means using a Multimeter . An instrument in the £10 to £20 price range would be best . I bought a spare costing £5...

    Charger stolen

    Chargers are a science in themselves Andy . My tale is an interesting one . My Batribike Quartz came with a Charger which listed a 31. 5 Volts Output . After 5 years I had the battery re-celled by Jimmy with 18650 Cells which pushed up the Quartz`s Battery from 8Ah to 11Ah and a new charger was...

    Street legal

    Jim I have the 2010 Batribike Quartz SE with a 200Watt Motor and the battery behind the seat tube and it slows after 14 mph . You might have the successor with a 250 Watt Motor which probably does the same .

    Bike horns

    Why not combine a light with a horn having a decent sound for shared paths ? I purchased one from www.gearbest.com and it`s described as a Bicycle Light with Horn usb rechargeable for £3.75 . Mine is the gold painted one with the horn button in red , there are 4 or 5 on the site .

It mentions a throttle which looks to be...
