banned from the garage by the other half

Have to agree it looks almost good enough to put the spanners away if the price is right :eek:

That's a nice looking bike :)

Try this company https://www.bankruptbikeparts.co.uk/ just bought a pair of steel forks even had disc mounts the 700c will take 180mm disc ok my cheap 250watt front hub fitted with a gentle file [for the second trike build]

I know this will sound odd:eek: on the bb face between the bracket and the 32mm nut , and tighten with the spanner then a gentle tap with the mallet. The California bracket is also thinner than the original bafang and allowed the lock nut to grip more, the added bonus is the whole motor has...

It is a bracket that holds the motor to the frame it is secured to the two bolts on the bbs it is pictured on my charge build tange steel frame which had the same problem as yours then a bit of wd 40 solved the problem...

Could the problem be solved with a tie bar bracket fixed to the frame ? the California ebike bracket might be the way to go the fs version is neater when fitted

If you want to bash 800watts for a sustained period and that range you will need a good cell Samsung 30q or Panasonic ga The hailong 1 is restricted in the amount of cells [40 odd] that fit in it the hailong 2 holds more cells[ 60ish] My normal ride has a tiger shark pack in 21ah and 17ah...

I bought the cheap and cheerful hailong its a bit smaller it was the only pack that fitted in the frame [no power switch on/off ] than the current version most others sell, the 36 volt 13 ah at the time it was only £171.00 each I managed 19 miles per pack with the midrive drawing 900+watts...

I agree that's why I tried the overseas route in an attempt to save a few pounds:( but I am impatient and wanted it within the quoted four weeks I ended up with the bike finished and no battery:mad: have used yose several times found the service excellent arrived really quick , and the budget...

I had a nightmare with these earlier this year after 6 weeks and many dates for delivery which passed even emailed the md with no joy I gave up got a refund from paypal and went to insat built and delivered in under a week turned out to be only £80.00 more and hassle free

Got the last one from Brighton bikes fast postal service but not cheap make sure you do not go below 42 teeth as it will not align the garage is full of part built projects and fat bike parts do you know a local wheel builder ? [have got two rims and hubs ] I need built for the fat trike

Hi Jim Is the metal on the twist a magnet or is it an optical sensor Just a quick coat of varnish and some silicone or the hot glue gun should seal the cable as it goes in amazed how little is involved

Be carful most alarm cable is 7 strand of 0.2 and is no longer copper [alloy mix] and only is rated at 12 volt one amp and the insulation melts if you draw to much current try ebay several sellers in the motor parts or boat part supply and in various colours and in short lengths and multi cores

Hi I now have two tricycle builds in progress one with a mid drive in the picture and another step thru with a 28 inch front wheel cyclocity 250 watt front hub in steel forks with a disc brake on the front and rear its turned into a major build the only original part left is the frame it...

Mine played up most in the garage if I pushed the bike backwards to move it /reposition it , also the derailleur was protesting when I put a new chain on old chain had just a small amount of flex in it

A good result for piece of mind you could try a chain guide where the front derailleur used to be, mine used to come off at the least expected most :oops: time one area the gsm is better than the bbs01

Nice build:D How did you get on with the 36 chain wheel I found it would not line up as it is not dished the 42 is the smallest I could get to align, the newer Carrera seems to be an odd bb must of been hard work with a hand file I cheated and used the angle grinder :eek:

I looked at the lidl one but ruled out:confused: because I can trip over a feather and with the 4 legs I could see the whole lot on the floor:rolleyes:

A battery is the only item that you cannot cut corners on ,you get what you pay for :eek: unless you build your own.:rolleyes: I now have two packs from Insat/ jimmy with GA cells you very quickly forget the extra cost and enjoy the extended range.:D THE ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE IS TO MOVE TO...
