    7S (26v) lipos + scooter bits ? Inc motors ?

    Earlier this year I built up an extra battery to extend the range on my Agattu only to end up selling the bike after only two rides on this new battery ! So what I have for sale is 2 x 7s 5amp lipos brought from Hobbyking. I have joined them together with both an XT60 and a balance plug "Y" lead...

    Cube or Cube

    Yes Eddie your not wrong there, I've been back to the store and I took the pro version out for a spin, to large to enjoy a long ride but 1/2 mile round the block was enough to tell it pulls as hard as the race and I can't wait.

    Cube or Cube

    I'm about to buy / place my order (3 weeks wait) for a Cube reaction hybrid pro 29 :) Unfortunately there was only a race 29 available for a test ride in my preferred frame size and I know there's a few little differences between the two. During my 5 mile test ride I didn't use the top power...

    5.30 am in my car weekdays I pass a number of un-lit darkly clad cyclists riding the main road and ignoring the nicely re-surfaced cycle path on there left. I have two names for them, one is unprintable the other is Frill (future road kill)

    What do forum peeps think of this battery location?

    Your 3 day late to use this as an April fool. dose it come with giant clown boots and parachute pants. If I was given one, I would ride it wearing a full face helmet so I wouldn't get recognised :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Not my cup of tea:p

    Suspension seatpost

    Suntour NCX SP 5 was my best cycle related purchase ever, in fact I use it on two bikes.:cool: I wouldn't use the plunger type ever again even if the were free in my cornflakes :eek:

    Anyone got a Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 29 ?

    They have my vote :cool: I'm very close to getting one myself, in fact I'm only £400 short. I just need to sell my Agattu (listed on this forum at...... £400) ;) A little extra advertising, nudge nudge wink wink http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/kalkhoff-agattu.15873/#post-211997

    Kalkhoff Agattu

    After I've realised the cost of the extra parts I've been buying and I could use some of them on my new bike, considering this, if anyone is interested in the Agattu with standard tyres, wheels, breaks, rack etc then I'll be looking for £400 this is with the std battery 80% capacity. Cheers Carl

    Electric bike road safety & security

    ↑ Add to that some long hair coming from under your helmet or even a clip on ponytail. No but seriously, I'm a leisure rider and look for roads with reduced traffic but not all the time. My best tip is assume your invisible & the car driver can't see you so you need to think for him as well...

    Simple, effective and good looking safety feature

    Ive never seen it in paint form before. Going back 15 odd years I had a sheet of Scotchlite reflective black that I wraped around some fork legs, I even cut a skull & cross bones for the back of my motorcycle helmet :rolleyes: Forgetting I had it, recently I cut some 4mm strips of black vinyl...

    Battery revival - how low is too low

    My experience with RC & lipo's would suggest they are all but useless. When they drop that low the chemistry changes, I believe crystals form inside the cell vastly reducing the capacity. I've had a few packs drop below 2.5v per cell when my low volt alarm failed, like you I zapped them on a...
