Only just saw this - yes of course, give me a shout . Maybe best to PM me so I don't miss it

In winter my care is all about the human not the bike ! Lights, hi viz, waterproof gear, gloves , buffs etc

Maybe I'm being dense but you quote the price you paid rather than the price you now seek That might help? Hard for folk to know if it is bargain without a price :)

I cycle commute in my work clothes ( shirt, trousers ) so I cannot tolerate any leaks at all. I found my Gore Path jacket to be excellent - far better than my old altura night vision jacket in terms of water proofing and breathability. I have recently had to reproof it (3 quid wash in) after...

Excuse the total lack if knowledge re RFID! Could this be used to have a proximity based on/off for a speed limiter ? My controller has a wire that if linked limits speed and if unlinked doesn't Is like to have a system whereby if I walk away from the bike the limiter goes on And when I walk...

What makes you say that ? I'd have thought companies like green bike or BMS battery or seller marketplaces like aliexpress make finding a Chinese supplier easier than ever

I also paid 440 inc delivery - getting on for two years ago

thats what I thougt until i read this today - worth reading whole article Solid Concepts manufactures first 3D-printed metal pistol things are progressing really fast !

I've pinged you a PM Cheers

Hi there MS You can take ebikes/bicycles on vertain lines at certain times see this http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/tube-map-bicycles1b.pdf cheers Kirstin

Is the just because most parts are shimano !? The alfine 8 hub I still think changed the market irrevocably - relaunching the hub gear into the mainstream. I love it - a totally bullet proof marvel of engineering at a great price point I recall sTEPs battery has a claimed lifespan of 8000...

from your post it is not clear if you got the battery and not used it/charged since august until yesterday ? or wether the problem appeared yesterday but has been working fine since August ? Do you have a multi meter and, if so, is there any voltage reading from the battery ? What is it...

I just remembered you are local. Welcome to try my bike for an idea of motor performance (on road and off road power settings ) 8fun motors aren't the lightest or most modern but they are solid

I have the 8fun kit also. I was happy for a while but then had to soup it up a bit ! I did nothing until warranty expired and I had some issues with battery And handlebar panel around 9 months in . They changed both with minimum if hassle(or close enough) It has worked daily well beyond...

Calmed down a lot by 8am in Brighton Still I hit 35mph on the flat where I usually hit 24mph max !

Mark Roughly where are you in Brighton ? Or what are names of roads? I'm local so I can give you a rough indication of effort required to get up it as an 11stone rider with a 250w front motor It's a bit finger in the air as 250w motors vary ......but it's a starting point

Welcome mark :) I'm Brighton too .....happy to help if/when you get round to a new ebike

Yes, within limits though. You want more amps for more torque (better hill climbing) You want more volts for faster motor rotation (increased speed) Volt level is dictated the battery (eg 36v, 44.4v or 48v) Amps is dictated by controller ( usual range is generally between 14a going up...

Could you take a photo ? Only the description sounds like it night a just a fried connection ?

Don't want to hijack the thread so, in short, 1) add a 7.4v booster battery in series to give 44.4v nominal total voltage. Mine is homemade and built from 18650 cells with 2s balance leads. I also use a lipo alarm to ensure cells don't go below 3v each 2) change the controller from stock to a...
