£27 Get me home As you want an occasional 'get me home', then two of these 4cell packs in series should suffice and only £27 the pair delivered. At 2.2Ah capacity they will be able to supply power for quite a few miles and at 12C discharge they can supply 26A which is more than enough. The...

When I got my Panasonic powered Gitane last year there was the option of a 3Ah battery. I now have a fancy for the new folder at 19.2kg, again with a 3Ah battery. No doubt the battery is available as a spare. Dave Gitane cycles : Origam e-Bike

Pete, Today I received 3 straight innertubes from SJS for a total of £5.75, of this postage being £3. My trailer tows from the right side near the 3 speed hub gear spindle. The spindle threads are flush with the nut and not wanting to drill the fork end I made a drawbar plate which...

"Did you know that: you have a 1 in 200 chance of being killed in a road accident" Dave

Nice Video This sidecar combination takes up about the same width as my 'widthwise' trailer that I use to keep the cars at a safer passing distance I have not yet got around to attaching the American Sidekid sidecar to my Gitane, perhaps next year's project. Dave SMIKE - two in one...

I was much impressed with the point that Phil the drill raised concerning rotational neck injuries in a previous thread. The leverage afforded by the considerable extra width of a cycle helmet and the greater friction of the helmet material compared to hair and scalp leaves me in no doubt of...

Could this be of interest? Dave This balancer would be the circuit for 1 cell. One would have to be built for each cell in the pack to be balanced. Although normally balancing current would be very small to keep a battery pack in balance, this balancer is capable of sinking 2 amps (or...

Psycosis, In post # 37 flecc answered your question and in post # 25 he kindly gave me links to Cyclone dealers. For a more realistic idea of the capabilities of Cyclone motors in particular and I would imagine any good ebike you could visit cyclone-usa.com and click on Performance. Do...

Thanks flecc, I hope they stay longer than the earlier sellers. Good to know the are there 'though they don't stock the double freewheel motors, the prices are fair. Dave

The photograph appears to show a Cyclone motor of at least 650W which the 'manufacturer' was "marked" as 250W. The limit of the cyclist's responsibility is to ensure that the 'nameplate' on the motor complies with current regulations and not exceed 15mph but need not have a speedometer...

Some years ago I spoke to a man in the DFT wanting to know the legal position on the possibility of using a small generator to charge one battery while another electrically isolated battery provided the motive power. I had a spare 10cc water-cooled model engine rated at 1hp and fancied...

Greetings Anglo, Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting detailed information. Do you think that your health and stamina has improved from using your electric bike? Dave

flecc, Agreed again but I don't find the sound of the motor in any way annoying. Perhaps it is not a bad thing to have pedestrians aware of one's approach, with the Panasonic motor there is a distinct feeling of sneaking up on the unsuspecting. That daft little 'pinger' exercises the...

Have to agree with flecc on that, that is what you will hear if you ride with your ear down level with your bottom bracket. :p However, I have a Cyclone on a recumbent and most times the sound of the wind through my hair is much louder than the Cyclone. :D Dave

Cranks I have sent you private message with links. Dave

With a duff leg and a dickey ticker I used a class 3 invalid carriage and a bicycle for 20+ years until cycling a short one in forty gradient became too strenuous. I joined this forum hoping to get ideas about adapting a class 3 scooter by incorporating cycle components to allow me to get a...

A to B magazine issue 65 May 2008 has a personal review by Richard Peace of the Sunstar Crank Drive Kit. Dave

The Cyclone motor is still in the Permanently Temporary lash-up on the recumbent that I posted in August last year and continues to give an exhilarating performance. The grin factor is high and if my legs cant keep up with the largest chain ring it has proved politically canny to just let it...

barty. A heart problem had, upon occasions, reduced my cycling capability to less than a mile including a 400 yard 'hill' of 1 in 49 gradient, perhaps you could judge your husbands condition against that. I bought a bicycle with a Panasonic motor and a three speed hub gear. My health...

Has anyone thought of using these old fashioned tyre savers? This is a quote from the link below. "Over a period of several years I used to commute from Watford into central London, averaging 4000 miles yearly, being rarely troubled by the puncture bug. I am sure the reason for this was...
