    New Light

    Extremely bright, only ever used it on half power (full, half, strobe, off). Probably 7.4v, 4x18650 battery wouldn't last long on full anyway. Rubber band mounting not rigid, slips, be good with an alternative cam action fixing that would dip it too :-) Don't know if Amazon still have them but...

    How much room do i need for downtube battery please?

    https://ebikebatteries.co.uk/ Are the one that always seems to get recommended here. They give dimensions of their stock batteries and are said to offer custom batteries. Worth a try maybe as although London is far away you have a great bike that may need a custom one. Cheers. Mikel

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    Hi vfr400. Its a 2018 model afaik & isn't current supposed to tail off smoothly? Full on & full off repeatedly can't be good for battery, I'dve thought. Hi nealh. As new batt works fine otherwise, down to 34.7v last time, charger light should go red while charging according to the manual. So...

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    Mopeds, thought i read somewhere that they could only be run for 30min at a time @ 30mph=15miles. Or was that only 2strokes? Does that battery calc go: 29miles × n wh/m = total wh + (total × 0.25) = grand total wh, maybe? Anyway? 1kwh+ of battery would be great :cool: V.interested in question...

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    Have been running the bike around on what apparently is its 3rd battery and 2nd charger. But guess what, it still won't take a charge! So after tens of hours of a green light on the Sans charger I've returned the charger and battery to the dealer for the 4th time. More than disappointing...

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    Forgot to mention, the label on the bottom of the 'Sans' brand charger said it is a 3A charger, I seem to remember. If this makes any difference. Cheers Mikel

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    Thanks to nealh and vfr400 for their answers. The battery and charger were returned to dealer under warranty, for a third time, and a new battery is said to be on the way. So hopefully that'll be the cure. It'd be interesting to know what kept happening though, out of curiosity. Thanks to Wisper...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Fly Dublin - Shenzen from €418, trouble is one can't carry ebike 'parts', I assume :(. I suppose one could post them back as freight! :cool: Cheers Mikel https://www.hainanairlines.com/IE/GB/Offer?FOCUS_ELEMENT_ID=4000

    Wispa Bike will no longer power up

    If you mean Wisper bikes try their 'Wisper Clinic' forum https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/wisper-clinic.15/ or contact them direct perhaps. Cheers Mikel

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    After 4.5hrs+ more 'charging' the battery is still at 35.1v. So I have not been able to get this charger to charge this battery after 3+3+3+4.5 hours of trying. Don't know what else to try. Does Wisper have a solution please? Thanks. Mikel Edit: Oops again, 35.1 not 31.5v, tsk2!

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    After another approx 4 miles: Battery now shows 1red & 1green on its charge indicator and 35.1v on + - terminals. It has no user accessible fuses and an anti tamper seal on its case; Display showed 3 bars out of 5; Charger plugged into battery and showing green light, I'll leave it like that for...

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    Hello, I am enquiring for a friend who bought an 806SE but has not been able to get much use out of it as it won't recharge from its charger. When battery is discharged it won't recharge. I have read the manual and connected battery and charger as per but the charger light stays on green, and...

    GoBike satnav ebikes hire in Denmark

    https://qz.com/227264/meet-the-future-of-the-public-transport-electric-cycles-with-onboard-tablets/ Tidy enough looking bikes but being electric with satnav are the best selling points. Handlebars well shaped to protect the tablet, manufacturers on forum could take note. Cheers Mikel

    Advice for 20" hubs.

    Sorry if I'm butting in, you're right, main tube to head tube join area is where they go. "End of Life metal fatigue" according to Brompton. That's why folder frames now have bracing fillets welded in there. Cheers. Mikel

    https://electricbikereview.com/forum/threads/step-thru.15620/page-7. Found the link to that converted Pashley with BBS01 conversion.

    Build a 1kg 39.6 Ah battery for £36.

    Just seen news item on Chinese satellite channel (in english) with message that CN government is officially tackling issue of "quality control". Seems not before time, imagine also the environmental cost of all this fake stuff, and damage to genuine brand names. Did they say where they got this...

    Which kit for Raleigh DL-1?

    Ah, it was a Pashley, not a Raleigh, that had Bafang BBS conversion. He dispensed with the chaincase, and it appears to have front hub brake, rear coaster brake, with the battery under front basket on carrier.

    Which kit for Raleigh DL-1?

    You're right, new v-brakes on a new touring fork would require a motor wheel with rim braking surfaces, which they have. Ready made alloy motor wheel kit rims tend to come in black i find. To match and stay original both would have to be custom built with polished alloy or chrome or stainless...

    Which kit for Raleigh DL-1?

    Thanks for the advice, hadn't thought to count the spokes. Had considered 'easy option' of a 700c front motor wheel, albeit black & silver alloy, and 'touring' fork with v-brake mountings for my other DL-1 which is rougher than this one, and therefore ok to mod. But then front motor wheel...

    Which kit for Raleigh DL-1?

    Needs electric zoom zoom. I'm knackered pedaling this to d pub! Phew. (apologies for bumping an old thread, just wondered if anyone else has electriced one of these. Only found 1 account on Google of Bafang BBS conversion by cutting down BB 5mm to 70mm). Slainte. Oh and happy st pats day. Mikel
