    When i was doing some research on the BPM hub motors, i was under the illusion that they were rear hubs only. Are you sure it's a front? I noticed on the BMS Battery website that there still seems to be an option to select front or rear on a product, even when it is clear you are buying...

    Charger Problem / A Cautionary Tale

    Thank for the info aseb. It just goes to show that these suppliers need to address the problems with long distance delivery. I'm sure they don't leave the factory damaged, so that just leaves rough handling with the delivery companies. We all know that their workers aren't going to handle...

    Cyclamatic controller

    The battery has a female XLR connector near the top, which sits flush with the casing. The one on the left of the picture is for info only, as most of it is inside the casing. The charger has a male XLR connector (right) and looks exactly as one in picture.

    Cyclamatic controller

    Here's a picture of the bottom of the battery. Excuse the poor quality :o The two outer slots are the pos and neg feeds. The bike has two vertical prongs which dock with the battery when it is slid into place.

    Cyclamatic controller

    Sorry to disappoint you morphix, i bottled out for two reasons; 1) I've grown quite fond of the Cyclamatic and didn't want to blow it up :D 2) I'm in the process of building my own bike for next summer :cool: Maybe when the battery becomes beyond use, then i may give the 36 volt thing a...

    Does the charger come with UK plug?

    Cheap Lipo4 from China

    Don't just go on a seller's negative feedback. 5 in 12 months doesn't look so bad when you see that the seller is willing to offer replacement parts. Some buyers on eBay are too quick to post negative feedback, before giving the seller a chance to rectify the problem. The distance doesn't help...

    15% Sports HQ discount

    It's not just companies that exaggerate their prices. We all use similar selling techniques in a way. When someone sells their car, they advertise it at a slighty inflated price, knowing a potential buyer will haggle them down. The seller knows that he isn't going to get asking price for it. The...

    SportsHQ 24hr sale.

    You're not wrong Old Timer, definitely goes on my list of top hates. I pay a yearly subscription for Auto Express which gets delivered straight to my door. Inside the cellophane wrapper there's junk mail, not only outside of the mag but on the inside too :mad: Straight in the bin and more...

    15% Sports HQ discount

    Not endorsing, more like pointing out when you can pick up a Cyclamatic for a damn good price. It's far from cheap and tatty, and if the purchase of one introduces more members to this site, well hey, why not ;) I do agree that their tactics are a little Del Boy'ish. I posted here to get the...

    15% Sports HQ discount

    Before we get the naysayers complaining, i do not work for Sports HQ. I am only passing on the opportunity to snap up the Cyclamatic bikes at a bargain price. If you don't know, these are excellent low priced entry bikes into the world of electric bikes ;) Here goes: Sports HQ 15% discount...

    Tyre pressure?

    Yep, but that is the max quoted (Min 46 PSi - Max 70 PSi) I found that at lower pressures they had less steering feel and accuracy. Bear in mind that i ride mainly on road and lower pressures may suit your off roading better. I was also trying to convey that the ride quality doesn't suffer...

    Tyre pressure?

    Why not fit some Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, pump them to the tyre's max (70PSi) and have that peace of mind that you are unlikely to have any more punctures. Well worth the initial outlay, and pumped up to 70PSi still provides a comfortable ride. By the way, you can buy these with nobbly...

    Wisper 905 SE Sport any good off road?

    Has anyone tested the Wisper 905 SE Sport's durability off road? It certainly looks like it can cut the mustard in the rough stuff. Does the off road switch increase torque or just top speed? Does the warranty still apply if used off road? I'm sure David will be along to throw some light on...
