    That must be a short axle, here's mine with it's hand made bracket: I was strongly advised to use it because of the aluminium forks. Maybe there's something here: http://www.pandaebikes.com/product-category/ebike-accessories/torque-arms/ Although they all look quite thick. Would it be possible...

    Thanks for the info on the electrics. Riding an Ezee myself, I felt the difference in power with the Panda. However, with my daughter riding it, her younger legs are coping fine, so it may not be neccesary. At least I know how now and why it works.

    I just looked at your photo. I don't like that washer on the inside. There should be a gap there to stop the magnet disc from being stopped by the stationary BB. Well spotted D8veh. The split magnet disc is great for not having to take the pedal off, but it's grip on the shaft is tenious...

    That's a good point, I was a bit concerned about the rubbing potential there but hadn't thought about the disc stopping. The grip the disc has on the shaft isn't good and I did this to stop it wobbling. Next point of investigation - thanks.

    Had the controller box apart today. No signs of condensation and all connections checked. Motor plug checked, pins look OK and seems fully inserted. But the dam fault is still there. It seems that holding the throttle full open whilst still peddalling, defeats the fault. Hard to be certain...

    Got the bike on the stand and, of course, it behaved impeccably. So went out for 14 miler with the daughter and, of course, it started playing up again, though not as bad as yesterday. I'm hoping it's one of those that will self clear, maybe as it dries out. (Well we can all dream)...

    0-15mph acceleration of 250W electric bicycle?

    Well I'm impressed. But then I get confused working out the various machine ofsets for a mortice and tenon.

    That was my first thought too. But there's a switch only on the back brake and I explained that to her. Also it would have cut when using the throttle, if she was doing that. I'll get it on the stand today and have a look see.

    0-15mph acceleration of 250W electric bicycle?

    Depends: On what motor How heavy you are The bike It's a bit of an open question to be honest. Accelerating from a stand to top speed without peddalling is the best way to eat your battery. Why do you ask?

    So, on the christmas eve ride we got caught in some rain. Nothing too serious - by Welsh standards! Anyway on our dry boxing day ride the bike developed an intermittant fault. (Aren't they the worst?). It's cutting out for a second or so, with no pattern. When it was playing up I got my...

    First big test passed with flying colours. The prodigal daughter's home for christmas and we went for a shortest day ride, dodging the rain drops. 17 miles and the lower powered motor prooved to be fine for the younger rider. She normally commutes around Cardif on an unpowered bike, so we...

    My 2nd best decision

    Mudguards and panniers for me, no dog either. Never understood the need for weight saving of a few ounces of plastic so inheriting a badger stripe up yer back. How I remember those miserable winter rides home from school when I couldn't afford mudguards.

    Stolen Bike Check.

    I originally come from Birmingham and thought the adress looked familiar. The post code is hookey, there's a letter missing from the end. When I looked up the adress on google street view, you can see blade communications, it's a 'phone shop' offering 'unlocking' and repairs. It's in an area...

    Hello

    As you can see from my icon my forks are aluminium with an Ezee (bpm type) motor and torque arm. No Problems. To the OP. Hub kits are easy to install, front hub easiest of all, if you're handy with the spanners. If you buy a complete kit, not seperate components, they are plug and play...

    Well this is just one laugh after another. The supplier has e-mailed me and, 'In order to protect your rights', has offered me a 40% refund? Quite how that protects my rights I'm not sure. Needless to say the answer was :p but politely put.

    Thanks Steve. Found it and have started a return request. Who'd a thunk that entering the world of e-bikes would lead to such a diverse learning?
