Cable disk brakes are no better then rim brakes , one is better to fit hydraulic disc brakes for not much more money. The EAPC I just repaired for someone had cable disc brakes and they were poor , I cleaned the pads and rotors , adjusted cable /lever tension and mannaged to get a reasonable...

We have a sub forum for Speed pedelecs so banning isn't an option. Such posts should though not be within the main EAPC forum but placed in the Speed sub forum which one has to search for in the forums listing .

The 'hooha' should be more about why they were allowed by the parents to own or use such a bike and whether appropriate lights were used for the time of night. Of the bikes I see at night very few if any have any lights , whether electric bike or push bike. I suspect I'm one of the odd ones...

Sadly this tragic sad story/event has nothing to do with derestrcting a EAPC so members are jumping on a favourite hobby horse to moan about. A Suron isn't about it being an EAPC either , it is an uninsured/registered moped that has higher power and speed of approx.30mph. As teenagers go (we...

Any one worth their salt would join a good forum and apply their knowledge with their peers and not on a face less platform full of dodge pots. With farcebook if you disagree to much or call some one out on bad advice generally after a while one it has been known where folks will get...

Changing battery cells in a old six year old pack is a waste of time and money as the new cells will be proping up the older cells and compensating for the old cells short comings. As for farcebook one is best to leave alone when it comes to battery info.

Guerney's are well protected but chaffing could possibly still occur (however unlikely) with the nickel, covering over the nickel with tape would rule out any chaffing.

Check the cell voltages via the bms multi pin connector , though my guess is the batteries life is over for general use. As it charges to 41.6v then collapes in ues is a good indication of a knackered battery when used, what you don't mention is how much current is being drawn when it...

Yes one would for L5 due to the weight and the person carrying capability. Other categories that require a licence G: a road roller (whether steam or diesel) H: tracked vehicle (this includes civilian tracked vehicles which includes former military vehicles). K: mowing machines or vehicles...

Very least needed is some Kapton tape between the wire insuation and nickel strip, the battery wiring placement isn't very well though out . As for having the last cell group take off in the middle of the pack , say no more !

Bad enough trying to pedal a BBS01 with a flat battery for 15 miles , let alone a 500kg quad cargo bike.

That's the issue with a lot of people they buy a bike and often can't find any where to have them repaired if not dealer supplied/supported bike which is often a mid drive type. The guy over the road has had a step thru he bought for £400 used, it has been sitting in his shed for a while...

Wisper bikes in 7oaks is your legal throttle option, bikes are sold and registered as LPM ebikes that conform to EAPC reg's and can be used the same as EAPC's and have a throttle that will operate to 15.5mph.

No such thing as a 250, 350w controller etc, etc. Controllers are sold with current ratings and as such these ratings have no wattage rating.

Quite a few of us on here can carry out 100% of all bike maintenance and repairs , wheel building is a very nice relaxing exercise to learn and pretty easy actually. There is no real black art to wheel building, it just looks tricky but in reality isn't.

20ah on a rear rack, one may notice some handling characteristics change.

3k is a lot but there comes a stage of life where cost does not matter so much, no use being the richest man in the grave . It may depend if the op has tried out the drive system first ?

One can clean off any sharp bits of nickel left on with a dremmel type tool.

Somehow one does wonder if the multiplying torque system is the correct drive option ? A cadence hub bike with the throttle may have been a better choice ?

Screw on gear cluster rather then the slide on freehub cassette with splines/key way . I only say it looks like a freewheel because of the 7 gears and relatively low 28t top /low gear.
