    agreed. However, in practice the reason you would fold the bike is to stowe it away so would you move it folded for more than a few seconds?

    42V is the limit for 36V Lithium batteries. You should consider that anything above 42V is at risk of overcharging your battery. The reason is you have a 10 high stack. If one block fails, the whole stack will overheat, the higher temperature will increase the flow of current and generate more...

    Of course some people would rather not having suspension than a steel coil suspension weighing 3kgs but weight is not a problem for most e-bikers and the Suntour 63mm NEX E25 fork on your mate's bike offers really superb value for the money and requires practically no maintenance unless you...

    that is fine with the SANS chargers that we supply. You can plug the charger into the charging port in either on or off condition. On some makes of chargers, you can see a spark when you plug in a off charger into the charging port of the battery. This is because those chargers create an...

    Strange brake behaviour - your advice please

    over time, air bubbles form inside the brake fluid and usually collect in the reservoir. However, because you keep the bike in an unsual angle, some bubbles may collect in the hose making the brake spongy. You should burp the brakes first. It's a 5 minutes job.

    The Claud Butler has has a throttle and no LCD, may have a brake sensor needing repair. The direct drive rear hub may have a damaged freehub pawl. The Powabyke also has a throttle and no LCD, may have a brake sensor needing repair. Those faults occured after years of use, bikes are out of...

    Woosh DWG kit - cassette question

    We only use one size nuts and covers. I am a bit mystified. Can't see the problem from the pictures. I suggest the OP email Andy about it.

    I use the 1.5L on my bike but Andy found it's too tight so he uses 1.7L for customers.

    Biggest/most powerful 20" front wheel motor for cargo bike?

    if you buy directly from China, assume that you won't get any support, thus you should stick to saneagle's recommendation. The bmsbattery's Q128 motor has a high reduction ratio making it better suited for cargo bikes. The kits you link to on Aliexpress are without specific brand and model, you...

    it depends on the price range that you call cheap. Between £300-£500, I have converted loads of Halfords Carreras, Subway and Voodoos, Marin, Specialised, Giant. They are all pretty good value for money. After that, there will be diminishing return on your spending. As long as the gears shift...

    Woosh DWG kit - cassette question

    you have two washers on each side, a thin one and a fat one. Try this first: put the fat washer (the anti-rotation washer) in first, it should not touch the freehub.

    Swytch kit: compatibility with non-Swytch components?

    The outer pins may not be needed. The battery pack looks like composed simply of 10 cells connected in series.

    It's a standard 1.7L, I bought on Amazon. It holds the controller as well. There is already a hole at the bottom for the cables. You can see how simple the wiring is, one goes to the LCD, one to the PAS and one to the motor.

    eBrompton Build

    I had similar consideration a couple of years ago. I rode my Brompton with a Bosch 36V tool battery for a year then went for 10S2P with 27100 cells, 36V 10AH. It's a perfect compromise for keeping the folding mechanism like it is, weight, range, hill climbing and charging frequency.

    I've still got a few bikes I bought 20-30 years ago in my shed. The price is not important in this regard. All it takes is to keep the tyres inflated, the mud off of the bike, the bike in the shed and give them a little grease now and then. It's really nothing much. I have never taken any bike...

    Hydraulic Brake Installation

    You don't have to fit the hydraulic brake sensors if you don't use the throttle. They are only needed for when the throttle gets jammed during use. It's not difficult to fit on the M2. First, you plug in the hydraulic brake sensor without the magnet. The sensor is thus active, you should see...

    Woosh Mxus xf08c cassette bearings failure

    The xf08c is very easy to open. You only need a screwdriver to remove the 6 screws then tap gently on the side of the lid to pop it out. The freehub body can be dismantled for servicing but I would recommend a replacement. We keep spare lids. Please email support@wooshbikes.co.uk, Andy will help...

    Flit 16

    It was elinx and blacklite who attracted me to the problem of demagnetisation. We don't pay attention to issues of temperatures higher than 75C when permanent magnets started to lose their magnetism. That reminded me of the time when 200W+ loudspeakers like those from JBL cost a small fortune...
