    Can I derestrict a Cyclotricity 250W kit? Recommendations for lightweight hybrid?

    A few trade offs here. A 250w motor going at over 25mph must either be high rpm or over volted. Either way it won't have high climbing ability and fair chance of burning it out. My 350w bpm2 hub 36v version has been run at 44v , 48 and 52v nominal. It can hit those speeds on higher voltages...

    Where to buy a magnetic battery connector ?

    Once I get my mid drive gsm kit it will be going onto a steel framed Charge Cooker 29er I want to have the battery in a backpack only for weight distribution and safety purposes ie if , and indeed, when I take a tumble I don't want a frame mounted pack ripping luggs out the frame(been there and...

    Gsm vs bbs01

    So, just for certainty, you over volted the 36v motor using a 48v controller and battery ? Good to know though I would not dare overvolt that internal controller. It looks like it would blow very quick

    Gsm vs bbs01

    I sold 150 quid worth of stuff on Gumtree in one day (not ebike gear)! So I emailed woosh and reserved one :) Tony as responsive and helpful as ever

    Gsm vs bbs01

    I also found something online that says the gsm is single reduction but the bbs is dual But didn't explain what that meant in practise? Do you know what this means at all ? Thanks again

    Gsm vs bbs01

    Thanks trex, I already have a good 36v 09 battery ( not Bluetooth though) So it seems like the gsm 36v 18a from woosh is a good deal at 250 quid. Likey less torque than the 48v version you rode I guess ?

    Gsm vs bbs01

    Hi all, Does anyone have any insight into gsm kit woosh will be selling next month In particular how it compares to the bbs equivalent (36v 250w) It is a whole lot cheaper at 250 vs 330...... Why ?

    A couple of quick techno battery questions

    4 years out of a phylion ? Daily usage? You got your money's worth without doubt ! When it is time to replace you'll find technology has moved on you'll get better cells, more capacity, lower weight or a least two of the three. Your bike will likely perform a fair degree better aas a result...

    A couple of quick techno battery questions

    Should be 42v hot off charger if healthy and the bms should cutout around 32v but this can vary a bit. They tend to drop to 40v quite quickly then slowly drop down to 36v as you use up the charge. They drop quite fast from around 36v so don't be far from home ! It is easier and safer to have...

    You got a moped!

    I would not worry what people say. Long as you got your ebike grin ! My tuppence though is that Nealh is bang on here- so much of the bike is obscured (by various modifications)

    BBS02 pre-purchase advice

    The 750w 48v needs a battery capable of giving up to 30a. I wouldn't worry about shaving a couple of kilos of battery weight. Sort of meaningless with an ebike as you simply won't notice the difference. To really reduce weight and retain the ability to get the required 30 a you'd need to go...

    Vectrix VX1 - Scooter

    Cwah, this seems like the fast, not easily stealable, more waterproof solution you've been looking for that can take a passenger. 100 quid for CBT is nothing compared to your various ebike purchases I'd have thought ? With your skills I'm sure you could replace the battery when needed or...

    Aprilia Enjoy Conversion

    Hi Rob, if the battery has died why not just get a new battery and a controller. From pics on the web these appear to have a custom mid drive and frame. It's really not very suitable for another Kit. Might help see a picture or any other info ( e.g. Voltage, motor watts, controller type's...
