Number 1/ for me. Plus Number 1/a Now after 30 months ebiking increased fitness means that years have been taken off me, I feel like a mere youth of 70. Also Number 4/ Got to chose the place now, mostly downhill and the time, when the oiks have positioned their cars as a Domino board...

Greetings, I have had a smaller Cyclone on an old long wheelbase recumbent with deralia gears for a couple of years and am very pleased with the performance. I would much prefer hub gears and have 3 and 7 speed hubs on Panasonic powered bikes without any problems but these have much less...

Thank you for letting us know how you have prevailed, it's good to know that you are both getting out together. I am much in favour of hub gears, the ability to select any gear at any time, particularly from stationary is important to me. Looking forward to more information. Dave.

10mph, You may wish to consider the Monark. It has a Panasonic motor with all the advantages that offers and at £ 1300 the lowest price in the UK and is lighter than the Agattu. It is very similar to the Gitane that I bought in 2008 that has given every satisfaction. The big thing for me...

Sorry, can't remember, it's been about a couple of years since I added the web issue to get all the back numbers. Dave

I received an email with instructions. Dave

Steve, I have a Currie that I bought for my recumbent and later put on an mountain bike. I am not keen on the throttle or the battery arrangement but power in plenty. A to B magazine did a first class review in issue 23 which will be available as a back number or a photocopy. Dave Quote...

Steve, The controller is built into the smaller motors and I would see the controller being at risk with an increased voltage. I have no information on the 500W but Endless-sphere forum has many postings particularly on the more powerful Cyclones. My motor is smaller than yours but it does...

I can't find any reference to him on the forum. An interesting site, I wish he were nearer to here. The Bicycle Garden. Dave Electric Bicycles

For interest I searched for Vrla 12V 12 Ah and those that I found were AGM SLA lead acid. "Is a lifeo4 24 volts 12 amp or a vrla 24 volts 12 amp going to power my electric cyclone motor for the same period and and same power?" No The depth of discharge must be restricted on SLA to prevent...

theskip1 It is no mean feat to design and make a recumbent whatever materials are used and I admire you for it. However as you find ~~

Perhaps you read of this in regard to a ebike controller for waterproofing? Dave Rapid Electronics - Acrylic conformal coating - Electrolube

Recumbents - why not more popular ? Ignorance? Meant in the old-fashioned way, lack of personal knowledge for the main part. Many years ago when I tried out a Windcheater tricycle the chap said "Careful, it drifts on the corners." In ignorance I didn't take any notice till I started...

A wee tub of rosin based paste flux or a non-clean flux could assist in obtaining a sound connection. Dave

While not the same model you could get a great deal of information from a recent thread. ~~ http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/7340-remote-watt-meter-13-less.html A different supplier with comments. HobbyKing Online R/C Hobby Store : Turnigy Watt Meter and power Analyzer...

Thank you for the information, I bought from Cyclone-tw. When I bought my Cyclone motor the Cyclone-tw website gave more information on the motors, showing that the 180W up to the 360W were the same length, weight and indeed price. The 500W motor was shown to be longer and heavier. For...

Do these batteries not have different nominal cell voltages? On my bike the 26V Panasonic battery illuminates all 3 handlebar lights but the Cyclone 8 cylindrical LiFeo4 illuminates 3 for a few seconds before dropping to 1. Subjectively it provides similar power and duration to the...

EdBike, At the risk of boring seasoned members, my apologies. I joined this forum seeking help to convert my class 3 invalid carriage to pedal assist. Dicky ticker, duff leg, great difficulty walking, Doc said exercise or your heart will stop. Two years on a Panasonic powered bike with...

Further to what flec said, I clean the tube, rubbing hard with a cloth. Abrade the tube lightly around the puncture, area larger than patch. Dust off loose particles. Apply solution thinly, rub solution into local area until tacky, allow to dry, this takes only a few seconds. Repeat...

Thank you BBB. There was no evil intent in my posting; it is good to see satisfied customers and I did enjoy the link to the dancing. It is a personal failing of poor memory that I am unable to recognise those who have a financial interest by their names even 'though they may have...
