Reading through this thread, it seems we're all massive fans of Marathon Plus tyres and super confident we'll never get a puncture (I've got them too). My question then is how lucky do you feel NOT to carry a puncture repair kit, pump, and/or a spare tube? As Clint Eastwood would say "Do you...

There is a bike company who print an enlarged image of a flat-screen TV on the side of their bike boxes as the box size and shape is similar. They found delivery drivers treated the packages with far more care and respect, and there were far fewer Customer complaints of transit damage as a result.

After bedding and one decent ride out, here're my thoughts on these Zoom HB-100 hydraulic calipers: Neals foresights were pretty accurate. Although I have a 15% 1-mile long hill I've often screamed down at 35-40 mph on my regular e-bike with Shimano hydraulics, I didn't and wouldn't try such a...

I just posted a reply/easy solution on your other thread here.

You can buy the correct spare part direct from Fiido here for a very reasonable £17. They charge a few dollars extra for shipping, and should take 8-14 days (as it's posted from China). Because it's an original part it has the correct connectors, so should be quite easy for any reasonably handy...

Don't do anything rash just yet. The Jury is out at the moment as far as I'm concerned. Neals predictions on the other thread are bang-on the money... but I'm not totally convinced. I'm comparing to full hydraulics on my other two full-sized e-bikes. I've only just bedded these HB-100 calipers...

Welcome June You'll find reasonably priced hydraulic brake sets on Amazon, Ebay, and AliExpress. Just do a search for Shimano Hydraulic Brakes and you'll find sets like Shimano's MT200 for about £75 and equivalent sets from Clarks for about £60 - sometimes a bit cheaper. These come ready...

I'm not suggesting you should buy a new battery, but you are currently advertising for one. The cheapest I've found is here on AliExpress, if that helps. £106+£17 shipping. 24v 10.4Ah - so more capacity in the same case. Known reputable supplier on this forum: Yose Power. A lot less than...

Not wishing to derail this thread completely, BUT For those that don't know, this guy Harry is Jeremy Clarksons real life neighbour and like JC, is both a farmer and a car enthusiast, with youtube channels Harrys Farm and Harrys Garage. Here Harry talks to the boys at JCB with their own new...

It sounds as if you've pulled the motor wires when fixing your puncture. The phase wires are the three thick wires that run from the controller to the motor. This video shows the newer Fiido model L3. Your older L2 will be similar. The phase wires are green, yellow and blue shown. AFAIK, there...

Neal's already answered your question on your previous thread here. If the long-press button trick doesn't work, you'll need to open the battery and try charging individual cells/cell strings... that's only possible if it's unbalanced or if it's slightly below LVC. If it's been left for dead...

The English Electric Motorcycle Company is just outside Diss. They don't deal with your Erider brand, so may not be able to help you. I only know of them because I cycle past from time to time. The really good thing about them is there's an artisan Bakery next door for really good bread, and a...

I don't think continually starting new threads is helping you. If you kept to the same thread, people here would be able to know the full story and follow your journey. I'm sure we're all reading your posts. But this forum is for electric bikes, not mopeds. It stands to reason that many reading...

You could use 12v car lamps if you have them kicking around. Obviously, the lamp wattage determines how long the battery should keep them going for. Ebikes.co.uk sell replacement batteries for your Mantra here. At £280, it's not cheap for what it is though. There may be better on ebay, Ali...

The Zoom HB-100 hydraulic calipers are on. Took all of 15 minutes - a direct swap, no fiddling, no shims needed, using the existing brackets rather than the supplied ones... although I'll need to check alignment after some riding to ensure pad/rotor contact/wear, but the fit looks right (I've...

To eliminate that possibility, you could do a load test. What I would use is 3 x 40w 12-volt halogen lamps (the kind used in ceiling downlights) wired in series. That presents a comfortable load of about 4 amps. With your 7Ah battery, it should keep the lamps lit for maybe 1.5 hours - much less...

Have you tried calling Wisper? If there's a knack to it, they will know. From Wisper's previous replies here on the forum, they care enough to want to help you.

The ImmobiBike stickers are a thin film with super-strong adhesive. One of mine accidentally went on squint. It looked naff, so with difficulty and mild solvent, I removed it without any paint damage. There's nothing stopping you registering your bikes with Immobilise using your frame serial...

Who knows if Plod actually scan recovered bikes anyway, but on an e-bike of your value, I'd say it's a no-brainer. Having the bike tagged might just save the day.

ImmobiBike is a similar chip system here - in both my e-bikes. You buy an RFID chip that you push into your seatpost downtube with a broom handle. Plod use scanners to read the chip and check against the database. Halfords sell them too (£12 last time I bought one). DataTag offer a similar one...
