    A2b upgrade after illness

    This may help with the connections, VIDEO HERE I'm guessing the 3 pins will be 0v 5v and signal, and from the video it looks like he's shorting the 5v to the signal to get the motor to run full speed.

    Anyone know anything about this? http://www.b-t-n.cn/productshowimg/1692295638-214733447/BTN_electric_bike_meter.html Or what controller it'd work with? Had no response to emailing them.

    Anyone had an interesting ride recently ?

    Its very loud if you want it to be and I have it clipped on quite high up near to my shoulder so I'm not like some teenager with their phone on speaker!

    Ebikes are fun!

    Was out today on the towpaths of Dewsbury today, then on the Spen Valley Greenway, with me on my converted Carrera and my daughter Emma on her dutch ladies bikes (weighs a ton, SLA!) and did a good 12 miles before she was cursing me for only giving her one gear!!

    Powabyke - appalled by battery

    The 2 pack one now doesn't charge, well not on the original powabyke charge, so it must detect capacity somehow. Charger just flashes green. I'll have a look for some cells..

    Need some advice recovering some batteries

    Don't bother with Hobbyking, they billed me twice, it took 7 emails and 3 live chats to deal with the refund, then they didn't action it. Had to get paypal to intervene. Then three weeks later still not batteries, another 5 emails and 4 more live chats and no movement. I've had to get paypal...

    Powabyke - appalled by battery

    Mine is now a 2 block pack :( . I'd need about 5 cells to return it to it's former state, I wasn't going to risk it with laptop cells in it.

    SHYSPY | GPS/GSM Tracker For Bicycles

    The a8 isn't really gps, it triangulates the position from cell towers, so not that accurate, but would give you a postcode area.
