    Any able to identify this bike ?

    Thanks - i was more thinking of just straight replacing the battery with a lithium and charger (rack or bottle) Or even running 36v through it - did you ever hear if this could be overvolted without popping controller ? Thanks once again !

    Any able to identify this bike ?

    Thanks, it has no keys or charger. I thought stolen but seems to be offered by a genuine house clearance company that I can trace. Do you know what volts /watts they are ? I may take a punt on it Many thanks flecc Kirstin

    8 fun kit died last night on way home :(

    "the battery lead from the controller may loose and doen't lock properly will cause problems, if in this case, it's out of warranty." Is what they said Also fuses def fine, visually and tested

    Ok d8veh will do that, jut assumed if the voltage passed across fuse then it could not possibly be blown

    New battery did 40 - 60miles then packed up 8fun claim that it may be the connection between battery and power cord and not covered by warranty This makes no sense to me and I have raised it with them

    8 fun kit died last night on way home :(

    I wish jackhandy, sadly all my ebike exploits are on a rather shoestring budget . Actually I sold an 8 year old brompton to pay for the kit Until that lottery win comes in the haibik stays in dreamland

    8 fun kit died last night on way home :(

    I hope so - I don't deal well with being ebike less ! Maybe I need another as backup (wife will kill me :)

    8 fun kit died last night on way home :(

    They didn't say anything - tbh I'm not sure they tested but just sent a replacement I emailed them my woes last night - no response as yet

    8 fun kit died last night on way home :(

    Tested the fuses - 2 x 15a blade fuses by sticking current from 3.6v CR123 across it. As it read 3.3 volts on both fuses I'm guessing they are not blown and not the problem Could a short in the led panel cause the BMS to pack up ?

    Can these really be ebikes?

    Cripes - I did not intend to take on the combined might of flecc and d8veh !!

    Can these really be ebikes?

    Hmm, the post battery is only 24v and 200-300wh (whatever that means ! Surely it's 200 or 300?) So if 300wh at 36v is correct then must weigh more I'll concede these could be electric but the numbers still don't stack up for me anyway

    Can these really be ebikes?

    Yes flecc but the website states 250w rwd keyde. And gruber is only 200w I believe ?

    Can these really be ebikes?

    Sorry , not convinced at all. That looks like a gearshift cable to me which runs to rear mech Also things don't stack up . Weight is 11kg The smallest keyde motor is 2kg, the battery is around same watt hour as my 36v 9ah which weighs 3.4kg. As its 33v and no case - lets be generous and say...

    Post-Winter potholes

    Blimey - agree with D8ve - head injuries are just so unpredictable and therefor very scary. Most glad to hear you survived relatively unscathed. And bike With a black eye you can at least break out your best " you should have seen the other bloke" :)

    Can anybody explain?

    Sorry , being vague and flippant ! What i meant to say is are many, too many , factors at play here and I'm not sure the interplay could be easily tested. By way of example you could do the same ride in same condition and not get same effect Some variables may be blood sugar and pressure...
