No, but I'll have two if you find any !

Pity you didn't ask here first. A 1500w motor is almost bound to be a direct drive (rather than a geared hub) and will be good at high speed on the flat but pretty gutless and battery munching on hills. What's the max current on the controller? The battery will need to be able to deliver that...

A rear hub on a 10 speed is, I think, doable but the wheel dish will be pronounced because of the width of the gear cluster. Front hubs can be 'lively' on steep surfaces (especially if the surface is loose or greasy) but nothing that an experienced cyclist can't handle. Also, if you're carrying...

Hi, Given your injury look for a cadence sense bike rather than a torque sense. Cadence sensing will give you power whilst merely rotating the pedals, whilst torque sensing gives you a multiple of the pressure you apply.to the pedals. Most cadence sense bikes are hub motored and, good news...

As far as I can see, the only reason for push button controlled crossings is because drivers, in their self important schedules, are far too busy and don't stop for pedestrians. Thus drivers are further educated that they don't have to stop unless enforced, by red light, to do so. Hence, we...

I saw my first e-scooter in Carmarthen the other day. I'd say the guy riding it was 40-50, he was dressed in shorts, tee shirt and sandals and wearing a helmet (so that's alright then). He was on the road and certainly doing more than 15mph, uphill. No number plate didn't spot any lights or...

The Big Bear has a reputation for, 'pulling like a train', it's kinda what it's meant to do. As for it pulling up to 15mph, I don't understand. My missus uses hers in level 2 or 3 and never gets to cut off speed, and I'm always waiting for her. I'd say she's doing between 9 and 13 mph in very...

So went out about 8:30, got about half a mile down the road and the left crank arm was suddenly loose. What is goin' on? It's like someone has been sabotaging it, must keep a closer eye on swmbo.:D Seriously though, around here they use a lot of the road repair method where a gang comes alog...

Gave myself a day off today and planned a long ride through some lovely valleys and a pub lunch before riding home. About 5 miles in, I stopped for a drink half way up a long climb, then noticed the LH hub nut was missing.:oops::eek: Fortunately the torque bracket was still firmly in place. How...

Still not an arguement for compulsion.

Is the gap between the disc and the sensor constant, i.e. is the disc parallel to the sensor? It should be 1 - 3mm away.

Injury to riders notwithstanding (I hope they're all OK) but it's this kind of sporting spectacle that gives cycling in this country the reputation of being dangerous. So this becomes the oft repeated mantra, 'How can you ride a bike, it's so risky?'. This along with the fact that the ONLY...

I'm not sure if this clarifies things or further muddies the water. 8mph is the limit for road going invalid carriages, as far as I know they don't have to have number plates. Pavement ones are limited to 5mph. So road going only then. Where does that leave the, 'Cyclists can ride on the...

Hi James, I have one of those kits and would also say check the motor plug. On my kit it's in a little black box strapped to the front forks (front hub). The three pin plug had suffered heat damage, distorting it and , very nearly, causing a short between phase wires. The heat had just...

I recently changed the chai on my bike. I went for KMC X Link. It was a bit more expensive than others I could have bought, but it came complete with quick link joining piece and it changes gear wonderfully smoothly and quietly. Worth the cost (15-16 quid) I thought...

I've just had my wife's Big Bear battery recelled by Jimmy. He arranged a courier to pick up the old one, did the job and returned by courier - took about 7 days. He used 2170 cells (Samsungs I think) and managed to up the capacity to a very respectable 19Ah. Bye Bye range anxiety. Of course...

I finally got into my other charger, an altogether more substanrial 4A device with the brand name HighPower. I found the output pot and started to adjust the voltage. I've turned it up about 0.15v. The cheap TIS meter read the adjusted output as 41.8v but the Avo meter read it as 42.08. I'm...

Yeh, it's a cheapy. I'm hoping the other charger will be better - when I get it open. My days of mucking about with circuit boards are long gone in the days of Practical Electronics - remember that?

Well, that was my thought as both batteries and chargers give the same reading. However, I've just had the wifes Big Bear battery back from Jimmy. Charged that and checked it and it gave a full 42v on the same meter. Haven't got anything to calibrate the meter against. I do have an Avometer...

I have two batteries and chargers. Both chargers read 41.7v at output and charge my batteries to 41.6-41.65v I'm not sure if this is balancing the cells, so I thought I would try and turn up the o/p voltage to 42v. I opened the YZPower charger but couldn't see a pot (photo). Is this a preset...
