    Urban Mover um33x

    Hi Martin, If you bought it from a professional seller, and you paid a substantial price, and you did so within the last few years, then you may still have some entitlement which your contract includes, as a matter of law, even though you're outside your warranty. It depends on the particular...

    Bafang swxk wiring confusion

    I'm having a bit of difficulty with the settings. On PAS mode the motor only wants to kick in after several seconds of pedalling. This is no good because my knees have flared up. Would anyone please know which of the below settings seems right to make the PAS assistance start much more...

    Urban Mover um33x

    I think your best bet is if you contact urban mover in the UK. I take it it's not still under warranty?

    Q128H

    I solved the mystery of the two different prices you and I are getting. When logged into the BMS site via the account I set up with them, shipping prices are much lower. Though they do strangely 'jump' by $10 sometimes when one puts an extra $1 item into one's basket.

    Bafang BPM 250w cropping up

    Thanks. It sounds good. But I suppose the question I need to ask is will the Xofo CST cope with long hills without melting in the way a Bafang BPM motor allegedly can. At 2.2kg it is smaller than a lot of motors like the SWXK which are thought not to be the hardiest.

    Bafang BPM 250w cropping up

    That looks really interesting, what is it that you like about it more/is better than the BPM? Do you know what's the right amperage of controller on the 36v 250w Xofo models?

    bafang bpm and cst 350w 500w

    Thanks D8veh. It's a shame with the KU93 - it doesn't take an LCD (so no speed control). Unfortunately the Greenbikekit rep told me last night his 9fet controllers don't work with LCD or LED. So I wonder if this one would work ok...

    Bafang BPM 250w cropping up

    I don't know if anyone's noticed but the above is an actual thing. A bunch were on eBay until a few days ago, and I've googled and seen this and this . Does anyone know of a Chinese supplier of single quantities? 235 Euros is a bit steep.

    bafang bpm and cst 350w 500w

    I've got a Bafang CST 250w (the large diameter version) and was wondering if anyone would know what would be a suitable low-priced controller & LCD for it as I'm struggling a little. I gather around 19 or 20 amps is supposed to be quite good for this - I'm reluctant to go with less as although...

    Q128H

    A US$43 charge bumped it up for me to US$130, ie £84! Are you getting mates rates or something? ;)

    Q128H

    Can you turn down the amperage on the controller, to fit lesser motors? Is it easy to fit - do BMS supply instructions? Thanks Edit - I've found the link to ES's instructions on how to fit it. Edit - oh wow it's £84 before customs charges! Where did you get the £72? :-)

    Best Ebike mileage.....on ONE battery charge

    I made it from Haarlem to Weesp (25 miles I think) on a 10ah battery on a Batavus Easy. The one in my avatar photo actually, on the same day. Lovely bike. Lost all power 3 miles from hire shop. Boy those were slow and difficult miles. However in fairness to the battery it might have been the...

    Bafang SWXK kit on Dawes Discovery 201 finally works

    Well it works. I had to bodge and bend the PAS sensor (or 'rig it up', not sure which) with cable ties because it wouldn't fit on the crank side on which it belonged. After my many weeks building, unbuilding, and rebuilding this kit setup I now feel an unexpected sort of intimate involvement...

    Nearly lost my new sunglasses

    If your camera picked up his licence plate then you can report him for failing to stop after an accident, as well as make a claim against his insurer for the cost of your sunglasses.

    Electric Bike Hire

    This looks interesting http://thenudge.com/london-events/electric-bike-hire/other I just googled London ebike hire. I bet though some places will offer it without advertising it - you could always ring and try.

    Best bang for buck sub £1000 folding ebike with Throttle!

    My rail Co has very particular policies even on some folding bikes, which occasionally change, so you should check re yours too. It's not clear whether non Brompton bikes are allowed during peak hours and during peak you always have to fold it before going through the barriers. If there is a...
