I read that British Brand Ebco are re-doing their entire range of e-bikes for the 2020 season (from January) by a new, ex-Saracen designer. There seem to be a few deals on several models around of their older range (these two are from Halfords, but Rutland has offers too). I guess it's to make...

That's a risk we all take. But Birmingham International Station usually attracts a "better class" of show attending traveller that don't usually carry bolt-cutters under their jackets! The cycle racks are adjacent the main station building with plenty of passers-by. If you're not comfortable...

The other possibility is to park/lock your bike up at the adjacent railway station and use the dedicated walkway that runs direct into the main NEC hall/foyer entrance. It also avoids all the crazy main roads that lead into the official road entrance to the complex.

Legally, the website changed to "50 cycles distribution limited" some while ago (see at the foot of each page), which is not the same as trading with the former 50cycles incarnation of this company. They do seem to have retained the "50cycles" branding as a trading style, which is perhaps a...

A good number of members here bought a low-cost mid-drive ebike (albeit imported and sold by a different retailer) equipped with a MaxDrive motor back in January 2017. Not one of those members has been back here to report ANY problems or failures. My own Bafang Max Drive has done about 1500...

I suppose it depends what type of cycling you're hoping to do. Google "Cycle" mapping is fine if you just need to get from A to B. If you're out for pleasure, a little exercise or fresh air, or just building your confidence and prefer quiet lanes or dedicated cycle routes, Google mapping can be...

I just buy paper OS maps (Explorer or Landranger) for areas I want to visit/cycle. These have cycle routes clearly marked. The paper versions are great for forward planning trips, showing at a glance a huge area so you can pick destinations and cycle stops (pubs!) in advance much more easily...

Try your local (and neighbouring) Council websites for free to download PDF's of all the cycle routes/tracks in your home county. The national cycle route maps available across the whole of the UK are available here: https://www.sustrans.org.uk/national-cycle-network/ These are all good if...

I think so too. Maybe the £499 Jam-jam has been quoted is for the higher capacity 10.4Ah version? As an aside, here's an amusing tale regarding the range of a Carrera Crossfuse 400Wh (Bosch) battery: The car-less Bar Manager in my local pub was complaining about his exhausting 28-mile cycle to...

Batteries for this new generation of Halfords Carreras are made by STL Technology (Taiwan), not Phylion (China) who made the previous generation. The cases/mounts are different, as are (I'm sure) the charging plugs/sockets. I've not seen this current battery style anywhere else previously...

I'm pretty sure the rotors supplied for the M315 are marked on the rotor "use resin pads only". Sintered are too hard. Shimano B01S are the original resin, which Halfords sell.

Aha... so, from your previous comments, that'll be the latter then! I think it's a nice looking bike, but I'm looking for something more like a Cube Tour but with a MaxDrive, or this - the nearest I can find from within Europe with a MaxDrive (Matto Tour MX1). Anything else coming up your...

Great to see a UK manufacturer/importer/supplier having the balls to retail a bike in the UK with a Bafang MaxDrive… at last! Will that be the 250 or 350 labelled as 250?

That looks a really useful trouble-shooting manual for your bike (if only I could read Swedish!). I think your replacement battery may seem cheaper as much because it's only 8.8Ah - not that common anymore as most people look for higher capacity. Whichever Phylion rack battery yours is (I'm...

I have the same/similar MaxDrive motor/LCD (but a lighter battery and frame make) - although labelled as 250w, it came as the 33.350 350w version. I find very little "drag" when unpowered. The motor weighs about 3.9kg and your battery likely about 3.5kg - but the Freego Martin weighs in at a...

Joycube are made by Phylion. It's not clear which of Phylions rack battery models you have because they all look quite similar (to me), but they ALL come with either a Standard BMS or a Smart BMS. The Smart BMS version usually costs a bit more. The Standard BMS battery generally doesn't have...

IIRC, the Phylion BMS shuts off at 28 volts, so 16.7 volts is well under that limit. I'd try the process you've posted in the video to bump the cells. You've nothing to lose by trying as your pack is otherwise trash. Your other option is to have the pack re-celled, which is cheaper than buying a...

As your bike manufacturing dates from 2016/17, you can probably change it from the LCD display without using a programming cable. The passcode on those older Bafang MaxDrive set-ups is/was 0512 to access that part of the settings to change the maximum assist speed (you can google to find the...

I'm sure the Shimano rotors that go with the M315 have "Use Resin Pads Only" stamped into them. Sintered pads may be too hard/high wear? I just use the standard Shimano B01S pads that came as new - they're cheap enough if you shop around.

I've been looking into the same issue for a friend looking to buy the same Moscow e-bike (but only if the speed limitation can be removed!). There's a manual for the C600 display here (which looks like the same display)... http://equalizerelectricbicycles.com/manuals/Equalizer_C600_manual.pdf...
