    Halfords ebike battery

    You don't say which Assist model you have, but if you go to Halfords website, click on the specification tab, and check "Battery Warranty" for each of the three Assist models Halfords offer, the Hybrid model, the Step-Through model and the Crossbar model all say "2 years, 500 cycles". According...

    Controller change

    What is it you find limited? If you wanted to change the controller/display, there would be better ones to use: KT controllers allow virtually all parameters to be changed and a choice of display.

    Ebike for steep roads in Brighton and to fit student budget! Advice would be welcome :)

    Questions, questions! I'm sure others will chime in, but if I still lived in Brighton, was working within a budget, and had been quite happy with decent second-hand non-electric bikes, I'd go have a chat with Brighton E-bikes and see what they can do for you. They're familiar with your terrain...

    Review ADO A20 review for 150kg fat b'stards.

    I'd be wary of doing that - the current draw given the load is such that something will overheat or melt! But I'm glad to hear you found something that (fork aside) suits your needs and budget in the end.

    Replacement electric parts for Raleigh Stoweway (Tranzx)?

    I knew I'd seen this somewhere! Raleigh StowEway Parts The StowEway controller has the same part number as Halfords Evo version: ABN410C001618, so likely orderable from Raleigh/ through Halfords. Same with the DP15 display. A dealer may need to flash the firmware though if you change any of it.

    Replacement electric parts for Raleigh Stoweway (Tranzx)?

    If there are only 4 pins, the inner two are almost certainly CanBus. There has to be a 5v supply, probably converted on the board then. I just couldn't see anything obvious doing that. Maybe others can see it?

    Replacement electric parts for Raleigh Stoweway (Tranzx)?

    Yes, sorry, you did say about 40v on the board. It could equally be the display not switching the controller. Is that the BL21 battery? Does it have extra pins for a 5v supply?

    Replacement electric parts for Raleigh Stoweway (Tranzx)?

    The above suggests to me an intermittent battery connection fault. As you have the controller open, I'd first be checking you're getting battery voltage at the controller. It may be as simple as a bent/worn pin where the battery connects to the cradle.

    Help! Ebike kit I can carry in airports and charge my Macbook

    It's not the airport but each airline you need to worry about. Each airline has (at least had) a different limit - eg BA used to have a 100Wh per battery limit, but no limit on how many individual batteries you could carry. Other airlines had their own different limits/restrictions. It was in my...

    Replacement electric parts for Raleigh Stoweway (Tranzx)?

    Halfords sell the Raleigh Evo HERE- same bike, different name. Halfords, as a Raleigh dealer, have the Logix diagnostics too - or as a minimum access to it. It's just a software download from Raleigh onto a PC/laptop, connected to the bike with a standard mini USB to USB A cable. If the battery...

    Replacement electric parts for Raleigh Stoweway (Tranzx)?

    That's really poor, especially considering that you did exactly the right thing in taking it back to the dealer you bought it from. Usually it's just the dealers who didn't sell you the bike who don't want to know. AFAIK, the parts are all still available. Some parts were difficult to get for a...

    Speed Pedelec successfully registered with DVLA (Riese & Muller Cruiser HS Vario)

    The (few) Police I know in passing know as much about e-bikes as most of us here on the forum. Two I know moderately well own and ride e-bikes in their private lives for exactly the same reasons we all do: leisure, exercise, getting to work, shopping. My understanding is that the penalties...

    New Front Forks

    The main difference between the 188D fork specified and the 187D you have fitted is that the 188D are slightly beefier in both stanchions and legs. Neither are Zooms finest catalogue items IMHO. The only Zoom fork I've ever owned was more akin to a pogo stick than a suspension fork: The...

    New Front Forks

    Welcome! The specification for your bike on the Ridgeback site does say 63mm travel, but the image looks like there's more than 63mm. Are you sure yours are as the specification says they should be? The usual budget fork you'd expect fitted at about that price of e-bike is the Suntour NEX...

    Bromton v Fiido YouTube video

    Fair review - I've watched his Brompton reviews before. I commented on my own D11 here. Don't know what's up with his brakes - contamination, or warped discs maybe. Fiido will send him new ones if he asks. Mine are fine. Yes, everyone says the grips are horrible - I replaced mine with leather...

    Bosch Flow App & control system(s)

    Have any of the Bosch e-bike owners/potential buyers any thoughts on this new system from Bosch? Slated to be available on new Bosch driven e-bikes from this Christmas, it seems something of a gamechanger for Bosch devotees. At last, it's changing from a closed system to a more open one, where...
