The M6 connectors on a Swytch controller are smaller than the normal Julet type connectors. The smaller connectors have an outside diameter of circa 7.6mm whereas a standard Jutlet type is circa 8.6mm. See the link below for some details, check the sizes given against your connectors...

So there were two 'handbrakes', one for the right hand and one for the left hand.

The brake levers are normally on the handlebars. When you pull on one of the brake levers a sensor normally detects this and cuts the motor. Could be a faulty brake lever switch, cable or controller.

No need to. However you do need to study the terms of the insurance policy your buying very carefully for get out clauses.

Which part of the World do you live in ? Busses are free here in Wales. As long as your over 65 or have a disability of course. If you want to save the bus fare, post me the bike (with a return envelope of course) and I will see what happens when I take it on a bus in Wales.

+1 Same here. Although mine when folded does not look at all like an electric bike, which was part of the build logic. I would be extremly surprised if a folded eBrompton was refused access to a rail replacement bus or any other public transport for that matter. As we know a lot of 'foldable'...

Switched mode conveter behaving normally. As the input voltage rises, less current needs to be drawn to supply the same output current\power to the lights. In all the examples above your lights are consuming around 5W.

Agreed, on a Brompton, 100psi is too high for me, worse ride than the Tanus really.

I tried a tanus on the rear wheel of my eBrompton. Almost an acceptable ride, even given the small wheel size and the Bromptons lack of suspension. But on the modern moonscape that the authorities call roads these days the ride is just a tad too harsh. But if you had a commute on mainly...

Is there a Google maps, or similar, giving details of USB recharge points in the countryside ? If the pump battery is faulty, or flat, what do you do ? Call me really old fashioned, but I much prefer to carry a manual pump. Rememember them, you grab the end and push and the tyre inflates.

The Maybe that is a concern for commuters using full size bikes, but such services are not widly avaialble in the UK, as far as I know. So commute on a Brompton. If there is a problem then just carry it onto public transport or call a taxi. A taxi would most likely not be able to carry a...

Of course. And a puncture reapir kit as a last resort.

Given the right method, its easy enough to put the brakes on and spin the bike backwards to rest on the handlebars.

Whilst in my youth I would have no problem kneeling down and wielding the sewing needle and glue to repair punctures, these days as I have aged I find sitting on the floor or kneeling, problomatical. So I came up with a real easy and light method of putting my bike for repair at a comfortable...

At a weight penalty of 8g I carry stands with me, its easy enough to turn the bike upside down and be stable, even on grass. Displays etc are out of the way.

Nice conversion and not expensive at all. Like the searchlight on the front. As you have discovered if you want to be able to fold the Brompton, and wheel it around, without taking the battery\controller off, it does need to go on the luggage block. Shame they used that relativly uncommon...

Look in the metal box where you keep your lithium batteries.

If you want real low weight (12Kg) and are prepared for DIY; https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/ebrompton-build.45098/#post-677745

I agree its very unlikely to happen, it might have happened in the UK if we had stayed in the EU, there were suggestions of a 'right to repair' type scheme happening there. But in the UK, I think our politicians are very unlikley to legislate on such issues. A cynic might assume thats because...

Puzzled I am. If you need a telescope to see who is coming, maybe its time to slow down a bit ?
