    Which tyres Please ?

    I do have another option. Continental travel contacts - they are much faster and gripper in the the wet and on cornering IMHO. They are not quite as bulletproof as marathons but I have never had a puncture on either with daily commutes and at least 4000miles under he belt on both For me the...

    Odd partial loss of power – confused ?!

    Update - all cracked and tested Have about 50 good cells vs 12 duffers :) excellent ration as far as I'm concerned :)) All 2000mah minimum some LG ones are 2500 Most are 2200 Samsungs Question - any way to test actual capacity other than painstakingly one by one using the IMAX br6...

    branding by shop, should I get a refund?

    These are the sort of item that companies stick logos on and then give away as freebies at trade shows or to customers.I reckon you've been palmed off with some leftover stock. If it really bothers you and its not as advertised then you have every right I'd have thought

    Battery brought back to life by d8veh

    excellent news :) d8veh also talked me through getting my battery going again (daily use and 6 months on it still owrks fine) I also successfully used his trick to bring very low indicuvual cells back up. I did this on 12 x 18650 cells taken from busted laptop batteries over the weekend...

    How will a BMS-less battery die ?

    How will a BMS-less battery die ?

    Thanks but I'm afraid I don't get the last bit Yes I had to bypass charging as well The battery is 10s which is why 6s bit has lost me ??

    How will a BMS-less battery die ?

    Afternoon all I have been waiting for my battery (36v 9ah bottle) to die for 6 months I assumed that once I'd bypassed the BMS which had fried I'd get mere few weeks at best. But it still it trucks on - charging to 42v and doing 15miles a day I'm not complaining at all but interested to know...

    Help! I think my charger has died

    Oh and soldering def takes a wee bit of practise. At least for me it did :) I found some useful YouTube guides Main thing is to ensure it is hot enough - not just to melt the solder but to enough that it actually melds to the wires rather than just sit on top like a blob Also "tinning" the...

    Help! I think my charger has died

    Glad you fixed it. ! A basic multimeter is invaluable - they are only 15 quid (ish) - worth the investment. Bought mine in march from halfords to diagnose an issue and it has been used countless times since

    Brooks saddle

    That's an excellent price - perhaps there just isn't enough women on this site ! You may be better off trying Gumtree . Or failing that eBay

    Odd partial loss of power – confused ?!

    Your right - every pack has the voltage but some quote wH instead of aH From a quick google I think it goes like this 11.1v 48wh is 48 /11.1 = 4,324mh per series. So if 2 cells per series then great as roughy 2150mah per cell. But if 3 cells then not so good at 1440mah each Is that about...

    New build.

    Hopefully you got my pm amigafan ? Also I'm most interested in your setup for disabling the extra speed unless you are near the bike I understand you do this via the 3 speed switch. Although I'm not sure how exactly I have a ku65 which has a restrict to 15mph restrictor loop. Connected its...

    Remove 15mph speed limiter

    Or go down the booster battery approach which is much cheaper and , if required, temporary Broadly you wire in another 12v battery in series with your current 24v one to get 36v For pure testing purposes you could use a12v drill battery if you have one. No good long term as you need the aH of...
