    Woosh Gale power cutting out & display issue

    Right D8veh, yes, unsuitable, i wrote that tongue in cheek, while i was looking for better controls. I thought instead of just getting new Artek lever cutouts that will fail, a new 790 that may also leak, with a corroded controller, how about better Wuxing levers, a waterproof LCD display...

    Woosh Gale power cutting out & display issue

    Found the answer to my querey re Battery Date of Manufacture, i think.. It was on the forum all the time (blush) :oops: Quote "Now, to easily read the mysterious codes on the Phylion battery , it is very simple . Example The serial no. S/N: JGJHBF 100082 = 070826 = 2007, Aug, 26th the 82nd...

    Q128C 25mph fast hybrid commuter build/ride report

    Hats off to the OP, emjay, for such a comprehensive summary, all the makings of a permanent thread! :) The Universal Left & Right throttle is a long overdue item, avoids the expense of following the former "get a selection of throttles" advice. Maybe even combined with an 'Invisible Bell' one...

    A Very Cheap Conversion kit

    Sorry if I'm butting in but..;).. What does "the wrong connectors" mean please? I read people write about "Julet", are they the waterproof ones to get? The Yose Power ads appear to show: Only black wheel rims but write "silver", i suppose it means the motor colour ; "Throttle", but only to...

    Woosh Gale Frame points

    Rain still getting in even tho ive plugged both cable entries! A rear mudguard like this would stop rain being directed over the frame to the bottom of the battery pad and into the controller housing.

    If money was no object...

    Well, If money no object then.. Keyless Unlocking and Switch On/Off. Auto Self-folding like Di Blasi R30 but for a bike with pedals. Auto Self Charging like iRobot vacuum cleaner or iCybie robot dog. Auto Follow Me and Collision Avoidance like DJI copter drone. KERS system to store up unused...

    introducing the KTM Macina Fold

    Zoom in and you'll see the Dahon pattern hinge and latch just in front of the frame arch over the motor. Does the motor brace the frame when it's bolted in, coz it seems possible flex there, arching over it? Tho i expect they beef the frame up to compensate, more alloy:cool:

    introducing the KTM Macina Fold

    And Dahons have their "landing gear", a sprung wheel that bolts under the bottom bracket, on recent models.

    introducing the KTM Macina Fold

    Congrats, a decent looking folder, my favorite kind of bike! it looks good. Like the discs, neat hinges and the battery & cables hidden in the frame, tidy, if only the handlebar cables could be too, eh. Any details on its load carrying capacity? Catches to keep it folded and prevent damage? Can...

    Woosh Gale power cutting out & display issue

    Woosh recently suggested filling the end of the motor axle with grease and covering it with Teflon tape, i must try that for waterproofing the hub connection.

    Child seat

    The first thing I've googled that might suit is the " Yepp Maxi Easyfit adaptor for E-bikes " The source given is Gloworm cycles but its USA and out of stock. Maybe someone knows an EU source?

    DIY Conversion - Voodoo Marasa

    I like the tidy and light conversions shown, congrats. And i like that Tillercycles proposed electric conversion (shown on his new Page5) as it's all but invisible:cool:. Can't see what motor it is, not even sure where it is, seems to be a mini crank drive tucked behind seat post with a bottle...

    Woosh Gale power cutting out & display issue

    Had a thought, could the battery contacts have welded themselves to the housing pad contacts from arcing when it hops on road bumps. And that's whats holding the battery down while still allowing it to move up & down, side to side and front to back a millimetre or so. When it moves up to the...

    Woosh Gale power cutting out & display issue

    Just to bump the thread while Andy thinks about my queries. Parts: Any new 790, brake switch, ebike tyre, pls? Stuck Battery: The lock bolt retracts fully (see pic) and i tried prying slide gently, but still batt only moves a bit, like its screwd or bolted down loosely. How was it put on the...

    Woosh Gale Running Gear points

    Looking at the bike above I wonder if Woosh ever tried a fatter Kenda tyre in the Gale? Is there clearance available in the fork, stays, mudguards (extended), etc? I will need a new back tyre this year and maybe I can order a new one(s) with the sale or return 790, new brake switches, etc, when...

    Also if the Gales rear mudguard wasn't cut short but came down to the bottom of the controller housing it would keep water away from it and keep the bike cleaner. 'Two birds..' again :)
