The lamb, surely ? ! :p

I hadn't quite thought of it that way lol. But yes that makes a lot of sense. You just have to get your hole properly sealed with a decent grommit or sealant which doesn't degrade and come off in an unreasonably short time - my experience of most silicone products in bathrooms etc is that they...

I'm pretty sure you're right there wissy. Silly thing is though a scooter uses so little petrol and you can fill it up from a jerry can in the garage - it's very hard not to think it's all a conspiracy. After all, with an eBike you're buying all your fuel up front in the form of a battery and...

Stunning place - looks great :cool:. Is that a baby carrier on the back of the bike ? :eek:

Never wanting the easy solution ... (:rolleyes:) and seeing how nice the Deans Connector is (I like connectors !) am at it again with the connector options lol. Whilst I appreciate it may be overkill and wind up concluding same I nevertheless like the idea of being able to use waterproof...

Bicycle prices are absolutely bonkers for what they are - I initially thought eBikes were a racket until I looked at a half-decent bicycle and realized the whole bike market is priced up way more than it warrants for what it is. Component prices are astronomic as anyone who tries to cost out...

I think the clue is in the name lol ... Mountain Sport Electric Mountain Bike | LifeCyle Electric Bikes Battery is uprated to 17Ah this year but presumably the motor is the same (?)

^^ Not wanting a front wheel hub, it took me ages to come to terms with the fact that I needed to forget about hub gears because a crank drive conversion was going to far more than I was willing / able to consider. I might in future think again if someone came up with a GNG-type kit which...

It's only when you take things apart and know what you're looking for that you see how things are really made I guess. Whenever something expensive breaks on me (domestic appliances being the most common analogy) I am constantly reminded of built-in obsolescence in so many things today...

Thank the lord for that - I honestly thought I'd broken it last night and had resigned myself to humbly seeking a solution for my newbie screw-up ! The spark wasn't a problem in itself - have had a few volts through me unplugging dodgy plugs in Africa as a child so am somewhat non-plussed...

I'll be happy to babysit a demonstrator for you and fit some kits to people's existing bikes - should have all the requisite skills by the time I finish this job lol. I think you supply a great kit, Frank and no supplier has taken so much time to discuss things with me in such depth or with such...

I bought one of those too and took the Maplins one which was twice the price back. Having the spade tip in the box for Deans connectors was great and it worked really well. Plus getting starter rolls of proper tin solder which Maplins aren't allowed to sell was a bonus. :) There was also one...

Aha ... I was thinking since the pins protrude below the circuit board a bit you could touch them in situ ... but if they are linked when installed then maybe that's not the way to do it ? ! It's good for testing FETs before installing them though especially if you get them in cheap / bulk -...

Having paired up all the bits received with CST and controller, am a bit flummuxed by the set of 5 pins soming out of the lead ... the 3 with connectors on I can marry up to the green, blue and yellow wires coming out of the controller with paired connector ends (green). However I can;t work...

Received this charger from BMS to go with 20Ah battery. What's the likely time to charge using this ? Going to be charging in an outbuilding attached to a thatched property and in all likelihood left overnight, so want to make very sure that fire hazard risk is very low and also that it isn't...

So basically all you need is a multimeter which has a diode test range and puts 3-4v across it. Whatever that means :confused: .. However .... it is good to know that these things can be easily tested as it looks like having one go dud is a bit of a hazard to your fire insurance risk :eek: . So...

Any joy with this, mountainsport ? Losing use of your bike is a serious pain in the proverbial if it has to go off for repair. You have my sympathies on this one !

Okayyyyyy ...... After feeling pleased with myself for doing some more soldering I fear I may need a new controller lol. Possible disaster but having been through everything and checked / rechecked I still have no idea what I did wrong. First thing I did was to solder on a deans male to the...

Depends how you look at it, wissy - I wouldn't slap a gift horse in the mouth. It's a serious demonstration of their confidence in their product. As someone who can't get to a test centre I would personally think very seriously about buying a bike from any dealer / manufacturer who was willing...
