    Don't think Lynda's gonna like being referred to as 'that woman' :eek: Hope she doesn't live near you, coz you're gonna be left with a Tonaro tyre mark on yer face. By the way, did I tell you that I think the Tonaro is the best bike in the universe..... :D

    Cyclamatic: The Beastamatic is dead! Long live the Beastamatic

    The LED is most likely there to fault diagnose any problems on the circuit board. Certain flasing sequences would indicate different faults. As for the brake wires, just connect the two positive wires together and also the two ground wires together. This will leave you with a pos and ground...

    Cyclamatic: The Beastamatic is dead! Long live the Beastamatic

    evendine, the problem with spending time and hard earned cash on using the original battery position, is when the bike becomes beyond repair. The hub motor won't last forever, especially with over-volting and using the shunt mod. The problem I'm having at the moment is finding a...

    Cyclamatic rear hub motor servicing help

    Just to clarify, the wheel hasn't failed, just that I suspect the two broken teeth are the cause of the noise. They could have broken at any time really. A long time back, I stupidly soldered a shorting wire on the shunt, and rode the bike a couple of miles. The motor gears made some right...

    You should keep the cheeky comments in, it brightens up the forum. At least we're not arguing over the legality of bikes ;)

    Cyclamatic rear hub motor servicing help

    It might be worth a try, but it would probably be at a price. I asked if they could supply a replacement controller some time back. The original is only a poxy little thing, but they were asking for £50. Not worth it in my eyes, so I bought a higher spec, E-crazyman controller for half the...

    Cyclamatic rear hub motor servicing help

    I've posted a few pictures and a brief description of my task of opening up the hub. I've not gone into great detail, as I feel that there is little to gain from opening it up. Mainly because the axle is an odd length compared to the norm, and I doubt anyone could obtain replacement parts. 1)...

    Cyclamatic rear hub motor servicing help

    This does sound promising. I'm just gonna open the beasty up on the brake side anyway and hope for the best. Is it worth slapping some silicone paste on the gears, as seen in shemozzle999's picture link?

    Cyclamatic rear hub motor servicing help

    My Cyclamatic rear hub motor has had a pretty tough life so far, and has become a bit noisy and rattly. The motor has two covers, one on either side, and I'm going to open her up this weekend to have a look. Does anyone know which side gains access to to internal gearing? I hope it is...

    Cyclamatic Power Plus Electric Bike £399

    No need to remove the wheel completely, or mess about with the motor cabling. Remove the 2 bracket screws on the servo brake, and also the brake cable attached to the lever on the servo brake. Just loosen the nut. Then you can pull the wheel just far enough out of the dropouts to replace the...

    Rear wheel cassettes

    Thanks d8veh. It's good to know that compatibility between the two manufacturers isn't a problem.

    Rear wheel cassettes

    If I had two complete rear wheels, one with a 7 speed SRAM cassette fitted, and the other a Shimano 7 speed cassette. Would I be able to use either one with a 7 speed derailleur from either manufacturer? I'm not fussed if the actual cassettes can be interchanged, but whether the different...

    What would be the Ford Fiesta of Ebikes?

    Damn, I've slagged off the Pedelec Master's car. Blacklisted for sure now :eek: Admittedly, me and the missus scrutinized one of those i10's at the dealership last year, and we were mightly impressed by the quality for the price ;)

    What would be the Ford Fiesta of Ebikes?

    I was forced to drive a Matiz as a courtesy car last year, and in my opinion the Cyclamatic is a Rolls Royce in comparison at any price. Apologies to anyone that drives one :p
