    OT: Solar charging an array of batteries

    Thanks both, very useful info. I have a few car batteries, a truck battery and a smaller battery. If they're significantly different capacities (or health) I suppose I can use them as backups rather than in the main array. I'll have to do some nice easy swappable connections, and also fit a DP...

    OT: Solar charging an array of batteries

    Not electric bike related, but you guys seem to know a lot about batteries! I have a solar panel down the yard, 150w I think, which does a cracking job of charging the 12v battery I use for the electric fence. I have a charge controller etc on it. I have a collection of 12v batteries that I...

    Rear hub compatibility? (Bosch mid-drive)

    I read your post before you edited it and checked the widths and came to the same conclusion... not very compatible. I don't think it's worth the risk/hassle, so am planning on selling the rims on. Thank you for your advice, much appreciated x

    Rear hub compatibility? (Bosch mid-drive)

    Hi, I have a Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 2018, which has Alexrims EX30 32H wheels. I just found a matching set on Ebay from the same year bike and ordered them - yay! Then I realised I may have a hub problem... My bike has a Shimano fh-m6000 hub, the new rear rim has a fh-m6010-b hub... Now...

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    I think a lot of people dongle their bikes solely so that they can keep up with their riding partner, e.g. a female on an electric bike trying to keep up with a male partner on a road bike. A restricted bike would make the partnership not work as the road biker would not want to stick to 15mph...

    I'm new to e-bikes and have lots to learn...

    Strava heat map can be good for showing popular cycle routes. I've plotted a route using that before, then downloaded it into my Garmin

    Do you own a second E-MTB??

    FWIW, I have 2 CX powered bikes, both set up for different uses. I like the flexibility it gives me, plus having a spare battery for long rides, plus being able to compare them when I'm trouble shooting! I did get a stonking deal on the 2nd bike tho, so couldn't say no really!

    Just checked and it says that if a friend refers you, you get £10 off. You need to use the code MEMFRND and my membership no 1395254.

    Not sure about that, but did you know you get it free if you have a HSBC account? I've just this afternoon cancelled my direct debit that was due in Dec.

    Anyone tried Speedbox B-tuning dongle?

    Stats from one of the rides (the one where my OH was straining the motor with his super low cadence, grrrr!). The stats on the fly are great too, especially knowing the exact remaining percentage on the battery!

    Anyone tried Speedbox B-tuning dongle?

    I really like it, in fact I bought another one last week for my other CX (£130 brand new posted off eBay). It's worked flawlessly. It's deactivated by default when you turn the bike on, and I activate it by pressing the walk button, so it's not obvious that it is even fitted. I like the...

    Looking to buy ebike similar to Aventon Pace 500 in UK

    My only experience is with Bosch CX and Active Line - I can't talk for the new ALP range. Derestriction options are here: https://www.ebiketuning.com/comparison/bosch-gen2-tuning.html You'd prob get about 23mph derestricted, or a bit more with a bigger front cog. Depends how much effort you...

    Looking to buy ebike similar to Aventon Pace 500 in UK

    What sort of off road are you doing? You may be better off with a Cube Reaction Hybrid with CX motor rather than that one, which is more road biased. Easy to derestrict.

    Benex Intelligent Front Light

    Thanks, seems a good deal but also doubles as a spare Garmin mount during the day?! Might risk a tenner on that
