    No, they really don't. Check again and do the maths on that number vs our population It's BS

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    Well excersise is totally allowed and as I live y the sea and south downs I can and will cycle whilst remaining socially distant very easily. Maybe in busy towns its different That said what bike does your wife have? Some. Like Bosch ones have a hibernation mode on their batteries.

    350w motor controller with 1000w motor?

    Yes but pointless as per Scott You are then just carrying a huge lump of metal for no reason and running it outside its design specs Controllers are really cheap in ebike parts terms. Other than a short term measure whilst you wait for suitable controller I can't see why you would want to...

    Kids eBike Conversion - simple battery solution needed

    Also I use xt60 on all my bikes for all power connections. Means I can swap any of my 36v packs on any bike. I have small lipo packs, small 18650 packs and large 21ah hailong style packs. I commute year round and do off road and xt60 I found reliable and waterproof

    Kids eBike Conversion - simple battery solution needed

    Firstly welcome! I have got good news for you... And not quite so good Good news. Yep, 10s of lipo (2 x 5s in series) gives you a 36v nominal pack which will work just fine. Done it myself with up to 12ah of multistar lipo from HK Bad news. You bought a direct drive hub - these are cheaper...

    display computer no longer show milage/distance/run history

    Good idea I'd say. What about the sensor itself? Is that still fully connected to the controller? Is there a plug you can unplug and check for water ingress?

    Hi has anybody purchased a richbit electric bike and if so so what do you think of them as I am thinking about getting one

    Hi niko I've not heard of them but from a quickook on the web they seem rather underspecced and overpriced made from generic Chinese components. Most appear illegal in the UK too Which model did you choose please? There seems to be lots

    display computer no longer show milage/distance/run history

    I don't know that bike but does it have speed sensor /magnet on the spokes? That would be my first port of call if so. Check the magnet passes close enough and hasn't been knocked out of line

    Are indicators worth fitting

    I have used the three types I mentioned previously when commuting in the dark. And don't bother anymore. Quality reflective materials and solid arm gestures are better imho and experience Annoying as I love a tech solution and yet another thing to charge ;)!
