    BPM kit build thread

    peasjam, how close to BMSBATTERY's stated dimensions of 90x180x350mm is the battery and how snug does it fit on the rack? BMS quotes 8.5kg, have you weighed it yet?

    Do they really think we're all muppets?

    As i run an online business, nothing to do with electric biking i must add, i am constantly being bombarded with spoof emails trying to phish personal details. Most are laughable, and the spelling and grammar clearly comes from some scummy insectoid who has just read English for dummies. Do...

    How do hub motor power ratings work?

    I know that wattage power ratings on a hub motor can peak way above the quoted hub rating. Could someone explain what the power rating actually relates to. I.e. on a 250 watt motor, would this mean that it averages 250 watts with an average weight rider on flat ground?

    Soldering Iron Wattage???

    Thank you banbury frank and Mussels for your answers. I did aquire a job lot of leaded solder before we went all European, as I find the lead free stuff terrible to work with. If an existing joint already has lead free on it, I just use a solder sucker to remove the lot. 80 watts plus it is...

    Soldering Iron Wattage???

    Bought an Antex 30w mains powered soldering iron a while back, to use on soldering components on micro-electronic circuit boards. It has been perfect for this job, but when i came to soldering a power cable back on to my battery key ignition barrel, it took absolutely ages to complete the job...

    Repow Power Plus Electric Bike

    Yep, looks like one. There was a Cyclamatic lookalike in my local Makro. Can't remember what it was called, but it wasn't Cyclamatic or Repow. Whatever the naming, the base bike is a good bike and reasonably reliable ;) That one on eBay seems a tad expensive.

    A123 battery packs in a box

    I tried dipping my toe in the water to see what this company might be like in communication and pricing. After emailing them about the shipping costs of one of their boxed battery packs to UK, i received a reply a day later from Eddie. Not a bad start :) 48v 12Ah Box Series LiFeP04 291...

    $99 Battery

    My 24v Li-Ion aluminium cased battery reads 29.6v fresh off the charger, so it may not be fully charged. Does the charger have an LED indicator on it, coz looking at the picture on their website i can't see one. You'll have to keep us informed on the abilities of this battery, as it's a cracking...

    A123 battery packs in a box

    I am in no way endorsing this company, and have no idea if they are authentic A123 cells. Just like the look of their battery packs built into a project style box. As for the company name, sounds a bit fishy to me :D Codd Power LiFePO4 Battery pack for Electric Bicycle e-Bike & Scooter...

    Ebbay lishting seling misstakes :(

    Why oh why do business sellers on eBay attempt to sell their items, with listings that are full of obvious spelling mistakes. Common errors like their and there, or lose and loose crop up time and time again. I'm not being snobby, but we're talking basic English here :o If you can't be...
