    Puncture repair kits

    I use Park Tools patches and find them great: https://www.parktool.com/product/super-patch-kit-gp-2 I rarely have punctures so have suffered the cured glue problem before. These patches seem to last well though just slung in the pannier. I'm careful to really ruff up the surface of the tube and...

    NCM Moscow 29 (ex Leon Cycles (leon.de)0 via eBay

    Thinking on this a bit more, I've just remembered I got my charger changed under warranty. Check the V output with a multimeter if you can. If it is below 54V then it is likely to be faulty. Mine was reading 49V. Not enough to charge the bike. Contacting Leon Cycles is a challenge though. You...

    NCM Moscow 29 (ex Leon Cycles (leon.de)0 via eBay

    Go to Jimmy at INSAT and have it recelled. https://ebikebatteries.co.uk/ He will replace the BMS if needed too. It will be cheaper and he may be able to increase the capacity if you wish too. He may be able to diagnose the charging issue, so you may not need a new battery either. Also check...

    Lishui Bluetooth Controller, programming the easy way

    Do you think the lishui Bluetooth module would be compatible with a Das-Kit system? I've heard it uses a lishui controller, but potentially with difference wiring?

    Cassette removal -tool too short?!

    I need to service the freehub on my ncm Moscow, the cassette isn't spinning freely. It spun the cranks and triggered the motor when I wasn't expecting. Bike slipped out of my hands and now I've got a bent derailleur hanger! Any, came to take it off, but the lock ring appears to be deep inside...

    Disregarding UK pedelec laws

    How would you implement that? Cycling tests for everyone? It would be a barrier to cycling. Much more sensible would be restrict all e-bikes when manufactured and then have some kind of higher bar that those who wanted the superior performance of an unrestricted machine could meet. Why should I...

    Not impressed with Haibike

    I was going to ask what the solar panel was on the down tube. But then I realised it is a garden light :oops:

    Speed Re-strictor removal

    When I was asking about a pannier rack I had a response by email from them which said: "We currently have no parts we are in process of moving or factory which has resulted in a delay in parts and bikes being dispatched. " It was from Theresa Cunliffe Sales Support Lead T: 01942 932 115 F...

    That said, it'd be awesome to ride it all the way!

    New off-road cycle route links England and Scotland

    "About 98% of the route is on existing off-road cycle routes, forest roads and low traffic minor roads." Odd definition of new. Guess we should be grateful for the 2% and relabelling of the rest!

    Speed Re-strictor removal

    I've found the following thread on the German pedelec forum. Looks like they successfully derestricted the NCM Moscow +, but it needs some soldering, programming, and a micro-controller...

    NCM Moscow 29 (ex Leon Cycles (leon.de)0 via eBay

    I bought a set of these for mine: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/sks-germany-bluemels-set-28-mountain-range-b65-black-54049 Needs P-clips to fit onto the front forks as no eyelets. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/281785671205?ul_noapp=true I bought 38mm.

    Speed Re-strictor removal

    To be honest, I'm really happy with the Moscow as is. I used to ride an Oxygen S-Cross de-restricted. I've found I take the same amount of time on my 13 mile each way commute due to the increased grunt on the hills. I'm tempted not to mess with mine as it will increase battery consumption (I...

    Speed Re-strictor removal

    Interesting, the website, from Google translate, says " With this display, you can even make your NCM and Leisger E-Bike to tune. Depending on the e-bike model up to 35 km / h are possible. When using this article , your vehicle is no longer considered a pedelec in Germany and therefore may...

    Speed Re-strictor removal

    @cyclebuddy -just tried it, holding set has no effect, so looks like firmware has been changed.
