    Help! help replacing or sourcing these handle bars they are from a mario bike all in one with 5 bolt plate that clamps to same underneath, they have cracked

    Those bars are custom made for that bike. I think I've seen other versions of it under different brand names, but whatever they are, you'll only be able to get them from the manufacturer. Some of these Chinese suppliers are quite good at helping when you have problems, but you must use very...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    No water can get in, normally, but those ones on the solar farm were all smashed up, which is what they do in the recycling centre to get the chemicals out. Didn't you see them? One lot had been bombarded by giant hailstones that smashed every panel, and the others were picked up and smashed...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Your car gets disposed of at the scrap yard and solar panels go to the recycling centre. Both are relatively safe, but when a storm smashes acres of solar panels into smithereens, all the chemicals leech into the soil, then into rivers and so on. The field becomes full of broken glass, which is...

    Do you know how much selenium, arsenic, lead or cadmium can cause you serious health issues. Also, the problem with heavy metals is that once they get in the human body, they're difficult to get out, so they accumulate, and it's the accumulated amount that does you in.

    Ebike 36v battery reading higher voltage when switched on vs off

    As I said above, the voltage you see on your meter when the battery is switched off depends more on the impedence of your meter than anything else. As soon as you connect any load, it'll collapse to zero volts. What happens is that some charge can leak through the MOSFETs, so the full voltage...

    Help with VanMoof S3

    There are probably more VanMoof garden ornaments than any other brand. All the electronics are bespoke and integrated, so repair for most people is almost impossible. In their heyday, every social media bombarded you with them. I hate to think how many people were suckered into buying them...

    Ebike 36v battery reading higher voltage when switched on vs off

    If you have the charger switched on and connected to the battery and the battery is switched off, you're measuring the charger voltage, not the battery voltage. When you switch on the battery in that situation and it'sfully charged, there will be a slight load on the charger, so the voltage...

    The Mystery Ingredients For DIY Bike Chain Lubricant.

    He started with 90 grade gear oil, then thinned it down with sewing machine oil for some reason. The whole point of the 90 grade is that it stays on the chain. If you wanted thinner, you could buy 80 grade instead, or even 70 grade, but there's no point.

    Re cell battery

    No, he had health issues and gave it up. There was another guy advertising here for re-celling a couple of months ago, but I don't have the link. Try using Google to search the forum.

    Ebike 36v battery reading higher voltage when switched on vs off

    Where are you measuring the voltage? You should measure on the charge socket if the battery is assembled. If you've opened it, you should measure the cell-pack. Obviously, if you're measuring the output terminals and you switch it off, you're going to get a lower voltage. The voltage you see on...

    Who gets the wood? A normal sycamore is worth £2,400 per sq M. That one has provenance that should boost the value significantly. If it goes up for auction, somebody would make a fortune.

    Which commuter e-bikes should I shortlist

    That's what I'd have thought, but the evidence indicates that some people just aren't up to it. If you read the reviews on Amazon, you'll see that some said they couldn't figure out how to clamp the seat or handlebars so that they wouldn't turn by themselves, even though there's an explicit...

    Which commuter e-bikes should I shortlist

    Here's my best value for money choice. It has a 48v battery, so 30% more power than the 36v ones for easy hill-climing and lazy commuting (don't forget to click 48v version as 36v has 24" wheels). It has all standard well-proven and reliable Chinese parts so easy to replace or upgrade anything...

    Which commuter e-bikes should I shortlist

    For that sort of riding, you don't need anything special. If you don't know how to fix stuff and do basic bike maintenance, you'd be better off buying from a local dealer or a reputable mail order ebike supplier, otherwise the cheap Amazon and Ebay bikes are perfectly adequate. The most...

    More power

    Remove the 4 screws (not the two either side of the connector blades). The controller will be on the other side of that panel.

    The number 15 indicates the number of turns on each pole. 15 is quite a slow one, so good for 48v. https://bafang-e.com/fileadmin/Images/support/588359deb88c5cc9520e979df8f6dbe6-1.pdf
