The charger will monitor the voltage when charging, but I don't think the Cree light will cut the voltage at a certain point, so I'll take your advice. Will get Samsung or Panasonic though, just for extra piece of mind :) The reason I'm a bit edgy about this subject, is that recently I went to...

So, any thoughts on whether to use protected or unprotected cells? I'm gonna pull the trigger on this charger, as it gets good reviews, plus I love tech gadgets: Xtar VC2 Plus Battery Charger I'm thinking unprotected, as a protected cell would probably cut off suddenly when it reaches the BMS...

The more I research, the more I'm convinced an 18650 battery can be used. Would there be any advantage to using an 18650, instead of 3 x AAA's? Also, is a protected battery better than non protected? Any decent brands out there. Heard horror stories about Ultrafire?

Which is a real shame, as the Cyclamatic is a good bike for first time buyers :(

Bought a pair of Cree bike lights that both come with an AAA battery holder shown in pictures. I'm sure I've seen these lights where you can interchange between AAA's and a single 18650, so can anyone tell me if I can just use an 18650 battery instead of the holder?

I'm no expert, but the gaps might be there for a little flex in the wheel/spokes. If they were rigidly in the motor casing, it might lead to stress breakages. Contact EBC anyway and see what they say. Ask them to send a few replacement spokes too. Don't try to modify that longer one.

To solve the tightening problem, just buy a 5.5mm open ended spanner. Google it and it should bring up some places to buy one. If you're concerned about the nuts loosening, then you could loctite them. Is the wheel not double rimmed?

For anyone who is serious about upping the climbing performance of their BBS01 or BBS02, then a 42T chainring is a good investment: Lekkie Bling Ring 42 tooth chain ring for Bafang BBS01/02 They also reduce strain on the motor and improve the chainline, for less problems with shifting and...

Was writing when you posted that piccy of the spokes. Mmmmmm, haven't seen spokes attached like that at the motor end before. I should imagine the procedure is the same though. Check that the nuts are tight after riding a few miles and also at rim end.

The motor is fairly large in diameter, so the spokes will be at a greater angle than spoke on a regular bike. After a few miles riding, check and adjust spoke tension with a spoke key. Chinese hub motor spokes are rarely tightened properly at source.

Use key to unlock battery, then slide the battery along the docking station, away from the power cable end.

Best get the No. 2 stoves out then, cover yer eyebrows though ;)

Looks like German army issue? I remember using a portable petrol field stove in the forces, which had a habit of blowing up in ones face :eek: Think it was something like a MK2!

Hee hee, it's actually nothing more than different timers, depending on what you put in. Intelligent it's not o_O Merry Christmas to you too flecc.

I'll start the ball rolling with.... The Nutri Ninja :eek: Yes, it has a terrible name, and the advertising is pretty laughable, but it has been an excellent bit of kit. I use it two or three times a day to make nutritious shakes or breakfast porridge. Means I can get loads of vitamins...

Ding dongle merrily on high, In heav'n the bells are ringing: Ding dongle verily the sky Is riv'n with angel singing. Gloria... Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria... Hosanna in excelsis!

13Ah is the capacity of the battery and is not relevant in how much power the motor puts out. To find out the maximum power of a set-up, you need to multiple the maximum current that the controller provides, by the voltage of the battery. For example, if the controller has a maximum of 10 amps...

As soon as you sell the bike, whether as a whole, or as a kit, the onus would be on the new owner to make sure it is safe to ride.

You won't notice the missing 2 cogs, believe me ;) The 10.5kg may be the quote for all the components, including LCD display, battery, controller, torque arms and motor. Once installed, the bike will be obviously heavier than the stock bike, but may be fairly well balanced, due to the battery...

The 250w is still £375. 5 levels of PAS assistance. Mentions the power levels around halfway down the description blurb: Description Blurb
