Electrifying a brommie isn't the easiest first project to tackle as I understand it Congrats ! Hope it's all you hoped for and makes that commute a pleasure . Mine is a 15mile round trip and I actually look forward to commuting these days ! The beauty of the self build - for me at least - is...

Hoping the battery gurus can shed light on this I have. 36v 9ah battery and a 11.1v 12ah booster battery I charged both on Thursday night and cycled 15 miles to and from work. Then I forgot to unplug and remove the battery - though bike switched off at handlebar. I never usually do this I...

2.50 a double brandy ?! Either an amazing local or it's the stuff that's only good for the Christmas pudding and setting alight !

Gas is far batter - it's a simple matter of energy density and price I think

I always have Multi tool with Allen keys and basic drivers Cable ties !! The number one most useful and used item A co2 inflator and one canister Wire cable - about 1m Electrical tape A metre length Kevlar cord A 6s lipo alarm /tester A ten pound note If I take my bike away on a long...

Co2 pump Allen keys/screwdriver multitool Wire, solder and electrical tape Cable ties !! These have saved me more times than any other item by miles Occasionally , on long trips or when away from home, I have even taken a gas powered soldering iron (14.99 from aldi) . Great little thing for...

An S -max will do it I reckon I also have a c max and can confirm it won't

The strap line states "Opinion" I thought opinions were a considered matter .This is just prejudice isn't it ?

After 7.5 miles I had to go home but after 2 hour rest (I forgot when I got in) battery still reads 40.1v

Well I've stopped for a beer on the beach 5 miles into my second test drive. My lunchtime was just 2.5miles test - all good. No more than normal feeling voltage sag on hills. Assists all the way to about 17mph or about 19mph on throttle ( says Strava ) Will test the battery till it conks out...

Thanks d8veh - I made the patch cable last night in this basis and will test at lunch

Ahh that's your issue then Your feng shui is all wrong !

That's your cousin eh ? I've messing around with el on my bike for years I run a 3m length on each wheel rim in winter (I commute daily) . Great for side on visibility (and Tron geek factor I'll admit) The transformers can be overvolted from the 3v of 2 x aaa batteries to 3.7v of a 18650 or...

My home insurance is with marks and spencer . They do not require the bike to d locked at home They do required it to be in a locked environment - so in a locked house or a locked garage They also insure outside the home. It definitely has to be locked up then though - can't just leave it in...

But in your 10ah lion you don't have 10ah of actual usable capacity either? Also you can charge to 4.2v (in fact hobbyking just brought new ones that go to 4.3v)

I think that just confirms that the wire has no break in it, doesn't it ? It doesn't confirm polarity In your test the actual polarity you are taking from the wire being red in colour (I think) I recall when I tried to fix the old battery that red and black wires were mixed up in the top...

I have learnt not to trust the colour coding of Chinese wiring !! I had presumed there was a better chance that the batteries and chargers on all mistrals matched up (as opposed to all red and black colour coding being correct)

Hi there I recently bought a new battery for my bike but it has a different connector No problem - I can easily make a patch (kettle to xlr) Problem is i both butchered the original charger and also no longer have easy access to the old battery This means I have no idea pin is positive and...

Mine took about 100 miles to to break in - that was 3 or 4 years ago. I can honestly say I never even think about my bum when cycling. That as good as it gets in my book !

Ah it comes with a cherry on top:) Good news :)
