    Boys Toys for the Rich and Serious

    Some tasty kit on this eBay store for those who are serious about bikes, flush with cash, or just daytime dreamers. Some points of interest are the Cycle Analysts, new and slightly older versions. I'm running the 2.25 version and wouldn't build a bike without one. Also, some cool looking frame...

    A reminder to use torque arms on kit builds

    Most seasoned electric bike kit builders already know the importance of fitting at least one good quality torque arm on their set ups. A lot of people new to fitting kits on bikes, probably have a torque arm as a low priority on their list, if at all :eek: A torque arm is designed to resist the...

    In the footsteps of McEnroe, you cannot be serious

    Doing my usual browsing/dreaming this afternoon, I spotted a rather swanky Haibike at the eye watering end of the price scale: Eye watering Haibike for peeps with loadsamoney I noticed that 4 of these have already gone to some moneybags, so the question is: Would anyone here be willing to pay...

    I miss my Cyclamatic :(

    Was browsing the net today and came across the good ole Cyclamatic in white: White Cyclamatic Really wish they had it in this colour when I bought mine years ago. I think it looks really cool. Had some proper fun riding and modding this bike and it's quite iconic for me, as it was my entry...

    Tips for saving money when you still have to use the car :)

    I totally agree, you probably never get a true readout of MPGs, but the reading can give an indication of when the engine isn't running at its best ;) Yes flecc it's a diesel. Read that these always respond well to a good thrashing now and again due to the EGR system. So glad mines not got a...

    Tips for saving money when you still have to use the car :)

    I do try to use my electric bike as much as possible, but there are occasions where cycling or public transport is inconvenient, so the car is used instead. I'm a stickler for keeping an eye on fuel economy, and over the last year the MPGs have dropped dramatically. Also, the engine lacks the...

    Ping Battery BMS Drain?

    About a month ago, I fully charged my Ping 48v 15Ah battery so all the lights in the BMS were lit and stable. A few days ago, I thought I would just give it a top up, since it hadn't been used for a month. Thinking it would only be charging for no longer than half an hour, I went to investigate...

    Cyclamatic controller?

    Just to add to d8veh's info. I used a sensorless controller with the Cyclamatic original hub motor many years ago. So you are not just limited to looking for a replacement hall sensored controller. I used throttle only, so not sure if sensorless controllers accommodate PAS :confused:
