    eBay kits

    Hi there - it doesn't look especially cheap to me. Not compared to ordering from BMS battery or greenbikekit Crucially they don't have battery included which is usually the most expensive bit You might also want consider a tried and tested motor from the above vendors eg the bafang or cute...

    Is it feasible to build a battery?

    If you use nickel strips to solder instead of wire then it's much neater also

    Is it feasible to build a battery?

    Spot welding is infinitely neater than soldering unless you are really rather skilled IMHO That translates into the pack will bigger than a spot welded one How much bigger depends My soldering is effective but not neat - I reckon it adds an extra 10% over spot welding I'm not fussed but FYI...

    new charger needed for converted e bike

    Sorry but I just can't be sure if they will work or not having never tried I have used both the 8fun supplied and a KU65 so I can be sure about those Is there a reason why you don't want the ku65 in particular ? Or a direct 8 fun replacement ? Ku65 runs sensor less without issue as that's my...

    new charger needed for converted e bike

    Hi Two things with that controller I know for sure are 1) not all the connectors are the same 2) it's only 10a - that's too weak, you'll have far less torque although your battery will last longer There are dangers that 1) it may not work with the 8fun led handlebar switch as it has a...

    new charger needed for converted e bike

    Can you put the link here ? You need a 36v 250w 15a brushless controller with pas and an independent throttle to be a like for like replacement you may need to replace the led handlebar switch at the same time Almost certainly you would need to do some soldering as it's unlikely all the...

    New bike for serious commuting

    My own experience of commuting daily all year round has been with a relatively low end kit - 8fun specifically All bar one issue i have had were ultimately due to water ingress into one area or another. Now I am extreme in my extra precautions and have had no issues whatsoever. The remaining...
