If only we had a 'Sir Clive Sinclair', a British patron saint for ebikes, someone actually manufacturing these things, or coming up with world leading technologies, and thereby export these coal to china. Im sure in the future it will be cost effective to have a manufacturing plant in the uk, at...

Ebikes are starting to surface as 'Gadgets' in related shows, but they wont really reach the public consciousness until they are seen on TV as preferred transport for leading characters, eg in soaps. imagine x in corrie banned from driving, taking to an ebike... If there was a federation of...

CYCLE SADDLE WITH INTEGRATED REAR LIGHT IDEAL SEAT FOR MTB FIXIE OR ANY BIKE | eBay I found this in brown which suites me fine...

Call me fickle, but they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. On a pedelec that might read as 'in thighs of the rider'. However after the spec check, and the performance which will largely conforms to the same road legal standards, the next point of interest must surely be the way that...

Well one of the coolest looking bikes on the market will comes at a cost.... ;)

The controller case will take the slightly longer controllers, however i found by removing the unnecessary 'discharge connector' from the controller case, there is more room for the wires. Epoxy where the connector poked through the case, and grind down the seat for the connector. Also its...

Thanks for the heads up on these blue tubes, they seem to be the 'tube equivalent' of solid tires, and would probably have a simulated psi of an inflated tube. Because there isnt a uniform deformation of the tube, the ride is likely to be as hard as running on solids. On the plus side, grip...

Are you sure we are talking of the same bike? This bike new, can be used at its full 15mph speed in throttle only mode, a bit faster with the restriction disabled. I am referring to the 2012 model. You'll find glowing reviews from others on this thread which makes no mention of a limited 6mph on...

I'm thinking of putting my old and possibly still useful controller on my old bike. My old bike has a working 26v 10A battery, the controller is 36v 12A. Question, would the bike work? Would the under current cut off prevent the any current getting to the motor? Or is that down to the battery's...

Hi there, I had solid on my old electric bike for about 4 years untill i upgraded. The tires were Greentyre - tyres without air Bicycle tyres which i had ordered through my local cycle store. The store was also reluctant to orders these. Fitting the tyres required an element of faith that...

yep, i did that too, but it seems the problem isn't or wasn't the controller, but my dam battery. Not many sources for these, so i'll have to go to the supplier to see if they have a reasonable solution. Incidentally when the battery is on charge, at the point where it should be fully...

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? :) I changed out the controller, and after a few minor mods, eg swaping the pedelec control wires, and adding a 3-speed switch to cope with the extra speed, this beast is now back on the streets. It would seem the answer to making a good bike...

Yeah, i think i will connect the sensors, however not with the connectors supplied. As for the shunt, i'll have a go at that too. What happens when the wheel attempts to take more current than the battery is rated for? The battery is quite modest at 36v 9amps. Would this result in the loss of...

Hi all, i'm looking to replace my existing controller with one which can work with or without the hall sensors connected. Question. If, for the reason of making fewer connections, i connected the controller up without the hall sensors, would this make much of a difference to the performance of...

Just a word to say i've also been having issues of late with my bike/controller cutting out. Given the faults diagnosis described here, i've now opted to replace the controller. I thought it might be weather related, just because its quite nippy of late, but the battery seems fine, and problem...

On this last point, this is really about riding conditions and as i say the effects of the weather on the battery's performance. Charging is always done indoor in ok conditions. The metalic casing isn't helped in conditions where there is snow fall etc..

As a follow up: The bottle battery is very probably suffering with the colder temperature, but i've found a stop gap which appears to work. This is simply not to use the throttle max'd out. I find the bike responds if i have it on half throttle and then peddle against that. There is some...

Does anyone know of a way to affect the low voltage cut off without compromising the battery too much?

Thanks for your advice. I'll certainly go over the main wires. As for the battery, its one of those bottle types in a metallic casing. I'm now seriously considering some kind of insulation of its internal batteries, with a possible reversal for summer conditions. I wonder what this means for...

Of late the power cuts out for no reason. Power is restored immediately upon turning the key off and on. The only thing i can think of is the weather, which is a bit nippy of late. Also there appears to be plenty of juice in the battery. Would the controller cut out due to the weather? Is...
