    Seeking Advice on Affordable Ebike for 20-Mile Daily Commute (£500-£600 = Budget)

    I like @Peter.Bridge 's suggestion of the Eleglide Citycrosser at £599. It's got all the extra bits @Woosh mentioned in post #20 for a commute (mudguards, stand, front light, 700c puncture-proof tyres, even a front rack), rapid-fire 7-speed Shimano gears (presumably Tourney, but nothing wrong...

    Wanted 48v 10.5ah mifa ansmann style battery

    Are you sure it's 48v? I've only ever seen that format in 36v (the shorter version being 24v), like this one where 36v/10.4Ah cells already fill that case. Would 48v/10.5Ah even fit? Generally, the higher the voltage in any given format you get less Ah capacity in the same physical space. EDIT...

    2018/2019 westhill link ebike - battery replacement

    And it would've taken you two seconds to do the same and post a link to A) your bike, and B) your battery and C) the battery you were looking at on ebay. It's just laziness on your part. Nobody here is psychic, and there are literally hundreds of e-bikes and then different versions of same over...

    2018/2019 westhill link ebike - battery replacement

    Westhill show both the LG (£350) and a larger capacity Samsung (£450) celled battery in stock for your bike. Even if the similar looking cheaper £220 ebay Carrera clone battery does fit/work, it's unlikely to have the same quality of cells... if that matters to you.

    before getting a folding MiRide as a fat 6ft 4ins man, is there something cheaper or better?

    Onebot are the original makers of that bike (and the main parts for MiRider); everyone else is just rebranding. It's called the S6 with 16" wheels. They also make a 20" wheeled version of the same bike called the S6L here, although I've only seen that version in the UK for sale on ebay from...

    Hi just joined

    Having two of these Phylion SF-06 batteries myself, I keep an eye on those Halfords sell. Even though the new Halfords bikes don't use this brand/style of e-bike battery anymore, Halfords have consistently bought in batches from time to time; when they're available they do appear on their...

    Carrera Crosscity 790 LED Display Problem.

    Here's the error code table for your King Meter 790 LED: 41v is low for a fully/freshly charged battery. It should ideally be between 41.5-42v.

    Storing battery outside in winter - what insulation?

    If you're going to have electricity there, why not add a frost-guard heater? They come from 60w to usually 250w, some with thermostat so you can set them only to heat below say 5c. I've got a 150w thermostatic one in my lock-up to protect chemicals and paints from freezing. Lithium storage...

    48v hub drive bike - (not UK legal)

    Riding an illegal e-bike at illegal speeds on public roads is one thing... filming yourself doing it is an act of gross stupidity. Like the guy who drove his Ferrari all the way around the M25 at a consistent 130mph+... Plod lifted the speedo serial number off his YT footage, tracked him down...

    Hi just joined

    If your Crossfire has a battery that looks like the one on the left, you can buy a higher capacity/lower cost one from Yose here for £190. At least one member here is using one with his Crossfire (several other members have bought other batteries from Yose), and a review on-site confirms...

    Carrera Vulcan display issue

    If everything is dead, first check the fuse in the battery and the contacts with the dock are clean. Then use a voltmeter to ensure the fully-charged battery voltage is 41-42 volts.

    Estarli E20 Pro

    You could change both controller and display to equivalent KT ones with standard programming... but I fear it'd be a futile exercise: The motor will already be wound to spin at a high RPM in the 20" wheel so won't be able to give much more than a couple of MPH gain. And because your battery is...

    Brake Sensors

    Variables I can think of are that my gear-sensor is an early "original" design Czech-made one (IIRC about £50-60 at the time), and I got the impression yours was a later Chinese copy version (did you say it cost £18?). Like most things, maybe the Chinese copied and improved it! Also, your motor...

    Peugeot eC03 -100 battery

    The profile and spacing of the docking pins looks to me like a Phylion/Joycube, which is fairly common and often obtainable, but I can't be sure from those pictures (there are several models and then BMS variations of those models). What does it say on the label on the bottom of the actual...

    Peugeot eC03 -100 battery

    Ideally you'll share with us the information printed on the label on the underside of your existing battery... helpful clues include the maker's name (unlikely Peugeot), the model number, the capacity. Or photos to show profile, charge and discharge sockets. All google tells us is it's 36v, it's...

    Brake Sensors

    I have no idea. The gear-sensor was already fitted when the bike was new, Shimano 9-speed Rapid-Fire shifter, and Shimano hydraulic brakes without cut-off switches, so you can't use the "dab the brake" method.

    Fiido d2 wont turn on

    It depends which version of D2 you're talking about, but from your description I'm guessing it's an earlier model which uses the part shown below. If it is, that's what you replaced, and you bought it off ebay rather than Fiido, the wiring is different and (from previous D2 issues raised here on...

    Brake Sensors

    I know @guerney loves these gears sensors, but I hate mine (Bafang Maxdrive). It's too slow to react, and cuts power for too long in the scenario you describe, especially high power up a steep hill. Simply back-pedaling 1/8-1/4 turn stops the over-run of the motor crunching gears by releasing...

    Smart or non-smart BMS?

    There's a couple of forum members here using the not-smart battery with their Carreras... here is one of a few discussions about that on this forum. The same battery with Smart BMS is available reasonably freely throughout Europe, if those suppliers are prepared to ship one. But basics first...
