That's a really interesting article - many thanks for that. Think some key things come out of it - first the amount of power you'd need to run the bike decently (definitely a LiPo contender I think). But my interest was largely sparked by the idea of a bike capable of running on wet sand and...

Saw this and thought it would be a great bike to convert to an eBike for fun rather than just utility. On-One Fatty I bet you could ride that on sand OK and have some real fun. I guess you'd have to lace the original rear rim in to the motor.

If someone sold a standalone proper battery monitoring device with LCD display and reliable user-friendly output I'd buy it and fit a basic £6 Raleigh cycle computer. That's all I really need. Unfortunately no-one has come up with one so not sure I have many choices - seems to be Speedict or CA...

I just want a proper reliable speedo and battery meter, and don't want to have to take my phone on the bike to get that basic data output in a reliable way. £130 is is lot to pay for a decent battery meter on a 20Ah battery with speedo thrown in for good measure but that's basically what it...

18C isn't very warm tbh - don't feel so bad now ! 24-26C is ideal temp .. you can still get slightly chilly currents in deeper water or diving down a bit even then... well, you do in the Mediterranean anyway where I go more often than further afield these days. Still, it's too cold for me to...

Have decided to get a CA rather than a Speedict, having rearranged my handlebar setup to allow it to be mounted on the handlebar stem. Couple of questions ... 1. For using with a KU123 30A controller do I need the "Standalone" cycle analyst or the "High Current" cycle analyst ? 2. Also are...

Tim, can you PM me about my post no. 21 on this thread ? Ta.

Someone with a mosfetish ? :eek: :p

Tim That link does not work and neither does copying it into browser. Would be good if you can repost it here with a proper link. Sorry to deviate but whilst I remember, are bikes sold in October 2012 updated with the 2013 Impulse firmware ? If not can you please advise how to go about...

Really glad you seem to be getting there - don't worry too much about centralising the wheel perfectly. It's far more important that the wheel is held 'near as' but tightly clamped & chain tight due to transmission through the chain etc. You can always adjust the brakes slightly if you need to -...

This is definitely down to your wheel setup and tuning - my gear changing is completely silent and ultra-smooth. You need to stop riding the bike and fix the noise - if you look up Alfine guidance it all warns strongly against riding with slippage or noise from the hub gears. You can do...

Same goes for any eBike. Many people have trouble persuading their LBS to even touch a hub motor wheel ! A throttle only makes sense to me on a hub motor bike. I wouldn't want one on a crank drive... just get hub gears and learn to use / maintain them. My local LBS hardly know what a...

Be interested to hear too. Personally I love my hub gears ... far prefer them to a derailleur for everyday riding and especially riding in traffic on a crank drive bike. They're just different in terms of maintenance and work. I'd have had them on the other bike too if it weren't for the fact...

Yeah I understand - and in a way makes me feel a whole lot better as I felt completely inept and useless having no bike experience at all before having to contend with exactly the issues you are laying out thinking all bikes involved the sort of skills and experience you need for this one to...

... and breathe. Yeah documentation is very extensive and broad ranging, not always tailored to every variant fitted. You want to try assembling a CST kit with nigh on none lol. Thank heavens for Pedelecs threads and guidance of others as no dealer to phone up with problems on that ... but we...

Shame you didn't plump for the C11 instead :p (only kidding ....) Not being funny but if you get a puncture then presumably the tyre will be deflated anyway so you'll have no trouble getting the wheel off to fix it ? I fitted Marathon Plus tyres and Protek Max inner tubes. Never had a...

Up to a point if that's the case but you have to be fair - if you go remove a wheel and don't get it back right (the grating is usually gears slipping inside the hub - which happens on my hub gears when chain is out of tension due to wheel not put back right and especially so if you pedal too...

Yes the whole assembly comes off. On both sides if you want - just push the assembly clear of the frame. On the right of the rear brake assembly with bike upside down there's a pin they slot back onto if they're like mine - and you can adjust them to get alignment with rim correct so they don't...

Here's a link to 50cycles' instructional video on how to remove rear wheel. It includes refitting. Found it googling for help in the early days. Kalkhoff Electric Bike - Part 5 - Removing the Rear Wheel - YouTube I must give it a go up on my stand next time I take mine off - completely forgot...

I know - I felt totally frustrated at first because I'd never done any bike maintenance work before getting my Agattu and had to learn from videos how to do all you are describing plus change tyres etc. I thought it was just me being inexperienced. It was ... to some extent ! I'll try to find...
