    Scooters where cool once!

    May I ask what speed you get now ? The only reason I ask is if you are clearly riding an illegal bike......then, well you may as well get what you want ! I have modified my legal bike to get about 20% extra speed. And it was cheap. Done by adding a 2s (7.4v) booster pack in series. Increased...

    Wanted Empty Battery Case izip/ezip/ez ride

    If you can't find one you can easily buy bottle battery cases. You could put cells in that, maybe? Possible plan B anyway :)

    Back to track, complete brompton maintenance

    I think the 30quid IMAX b6 lipro charger does discharging ok And it can charge at 5a which does a pretty fast job on a 10ah pack It can only take up to 6s balance charging though I'm sure there are other more expensive chargers available that are better. Reviews seem good on the IMAX though...

    New idea ? Battery and drivetrain in fork

    No external battery, no wires hanging over bike. That's quite stealthy surely :) ! It's def a marmite thing in looks. But then I like the cannonade lefty forks Good tip about the noise though - that would put me off Actually, right now it's the extortionate price

    New idea ? Battery and drivetrain in fork

    One-armed bandit: Electrolyte integrates bicycle electrics in lefty fork I've never heard of anything like this before (although flecc and D8veh may well have!) Yes, crazy expensive and yes possible battery replacment issues (maybe not though) Still perhaps this would make a great...

    Cheap Chinese vs Cheapish Conversion?

    No - not what I meant Either the PAS or the throttle will engage motor. However the front brake cutoff will override those in the interest of safety when the lever is pulled So you will not be able to have the motor engaged AND the front brake on. This is good However, you will be able to...

    Cheap Chinese vs Cheapish Conversion?

    I just checked the kit - looks like independent throttle to me So I think you are a bit stuck with the coaster brake issue But as long as you get into the habit of touching the canti brake at same time as back peddling then you will never get a brake on/motor on combo

    Cheap Chinese vs Cheapish Conversion?

    Sorry should add that if you have independent throttle then you will be able to engage motor and brake at the same time - bad The pas won't act as a power cutoff in reverse

    Cheap Chinese vs Cheapish Conversion?

    The PAS sensor will detect no pulses when you pedal backwards. So pedalling backwards will not engage the motor I can be sure of this as I accidentally fitted mine backwards. So the motor only engages when I pedal backwards. Nothing at all happens when pedalling forward
