    Halford's ebikes

    I can average 10wh per mile on both my hub motor torque sensor Carrera Crossfire-e as I can on my 250w 15.5mph limited Bafang BBS01 cadence sensor mid drive conversion bike on the same route/conditions They deliver the power differently but I put in the same effort to go the same distance I have...

    Very useful pics, thanks for posting. I've got 4.5k miles on my Crossfire, bearings seem okay, but knowing what to do if they need replacing is worth knowing

    BATTERY REPLACEMENT

    I'd sell it on ebay as an auction, then you'll definitely sell it and the market will determine the selling price. Hopefully you'll get a couple or more bidding against each other. As far as knowing it's good to go, just needs a battery, you could provide a link in the listing to this thread, so...

    New battery needed for my Carrera Crossfire Ebike (2019 model)

    My original battery has 'smart' bms, the replacement does not, I knew that before I purchased the replacement. As I said the only difference is that the percent value battery remaining is not displayed on the display

    New battery needed for my Carrera Crossfire Ebike (2019 model)

    I wouldn't of recommended the battery to you if I wasn't 100% happy with it working on my Carrera ebik, which is is, I did a lot of research before I purchased so was happy others had this replacement working fine on their Carrera ebikes, and you can see that too from the customer reviews on...

    New battery needed for my Carrera Crossfire Ebike (2019 model)

    Lots of references of Error 21 with Carrera ebikes....was it working fine before the original battery died? If not then I don't think the Error 21 is related to the new battery, most Error 21 are related to the torque sensor, here's an example...

    Stuck seat post

    You could try WD40 spray down and leave for a few hours. Alternatively, I've read pouring boiling water from the kettle around the seat post frame will expand the metal and might allow it to be freed up Good luck

    Country Lanes are 3x More Dangerous (Sunday Times)

    I ride a lot of country lanes here in Dorset. Some are Sustrans/National Cycle Routes. The width of the road is not possible for 2 cars to pass at the same time, however, some cars that approach me do not treat me the same they would a car, and continue at speed towards me expecting me to stay...

    Big brand vs lesser known?!

    Everyone gets hung up on mid drives eating drivetrain components...on my Bafang BBS01 mid drive conversion I've been running a Sunrace 11-40t 9speed cassette and KMC x9 chain, about £29 for the cassette and about £12 for the chain (both from Amazon). 2500 miles in and still on the original...

    ebike for 50yr old and 3yr old toddler

    If you are looking to use a toptube kid seat, then the mounting bars may interfere with the downtube battery, so it might be worth looking at bikes with a rear rack battery, something like this...

    Help! Cannot find a bike for someone my size in UK at all!

    A strong bike no doubt but the OP should be looking at a strong bike with big rotor hydraulic brakes to stop safely

    Need pics of bike and battery, and make and model You won't be able to replace a 12.5ah with a 50ah as it will be 4 times larger in size so will not fit

    Boardman Pro team hybrid for Bafang bbs01b conversion

    I reckon that would make a great bafang bbs01 conversion, the chainset is 50t so no chainstay issues and the bottom bracket sounds standard. I have a boardman mx comp hybrid conversion with a bbs01, all fitted well. I would recommend an additional rivnut if using a downtube battery as the frame...
