    Conversion kit for Dawes ladies hybrid - clueless owner

    Agree 100% with this recommendation. I have the similar SWX08 on my Kudos Tornado and it is perfect for shifting (what used to be) my 17 stone weight up any hill.

    I have the Gladiator Plus One from the same company - awesome "sheds" - I have no doubt they are the best in the business.

    The lighting connectors are the two pin ones.

    I have the motor casing off at the moment - if I have time I will take a picture this evening so you can have a proper comparison of the connectors.

    Good question. The new battery has been supplied with Anderson connectors already attached (and spare Anderson connectors). The Bafang controller has bullet connectors. Decisions Decisions! I have a big bag of bullet connectors spare. Although I guess it doesn't matter too much.

    Or maybe the newer version of the controller (which comes with blue connectors) has the appropriate updates in. If only there was somebody dumb enough on this site to blow their controller through complete stupidity such that they had to order a new one (walks off whistling...)

    My 30q battery pack has arrived from Jimmy (about a week after placing the order which is pretty good for anything custom built). Looks good to me but not been able to use it yet - I will give an update as soon as I can, but don't think it will be for at least another week :-(

    Or an alternative site which gives the option to select even higher current draw for comparison: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Common18650comparator.php Select Sanyo NCR18650GA for the Panasonic GA - I understand it is the same cell.

    My understanding is: GA Cells are higher capacity - you will get more distance for the same quantity (weight) of cells. 30Qs should be capable of supplying higher sustained current without voltage sag. (i.e. will be less stressed at the same current as the GAs). I was torn between the GAs and...

    Can you see how he is getting on with my pack please?! (15Ah, Dolphin with 30Q cells).

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    Really difficult to say - test rides took place on a smooth tarmac race track - maximum gradient around 2.5% at most. I'd be disappointed if any ebike struggled in that setting. The Impulse and Brose motored bikes were in my opinion quieter than Maxdrive - they both impressed me. The Impulse...

    It is listed as 7 speed. Although the part number for the cassette is a 9 speed part number. That made me pause for thought. Pictures are indeed excellent. Links to articles about Maxdrive would probably help. (and the 24 hour race at the Nurburg ring). They would also do better with at...

    Is anybody going to Ebike Tips Live in Bath on Sunday?

    That particular model retail at £3600 in the UK. There is a lower spec one with different gears / brakes that is £3200! So not cheap. I would certainly be looking at the R&M models in that price bracket as well. But I dare say they will be less than 3K come the end of the year. There were...

    If anybody wants to do this, please let me know as I will probably put my standard battery up for sale when the new one arrives.

    Also recheck the torque of the pedals as well as the crank arms after a few rides - that is what did for mine - the pedal end, not the crank end! Check front brake disc is true - mine was out. Other than that - just enjoy it. I'm hoping to get out on mine again this weekend :-)

    has the oxygen range increased in price?

    The S-Cross ST is still listed at £1250 on Halfords Website with 13AH battery - could be worth knowing for some

    That's quite impressive to cover something which can be damaged through lack of attention / care on the part of the user - something worth bearing in mind for any future purchases I make.
