Ok, when it stops raining I will do just that and report back. I might do it in a new thread, as the tittle of this one is now a bit misleading. Thanks for your help.

Ok, I have done some testing, and its a faulty battery. Tried the bike with two other identical batts, and no cutouts. I have emailed BMS battery, but I'm not getting very far. They keep getting the wrong end of the stick. So it looks like my only option is to open it up. It seems to cut out...

Have you looked at the Kudos range? The newer ones are pretty stealthy looking. An other option is build from a kit. A good option if you already have a decent bike that you like. You will get more sound advice from others if you add some info about your weight, range (e.g whether you can...

Hand paint it, very roughly. Perhaps in green.

Hmm, a fair point. Worst thing is, I have one of those calipers from BMS unfitted, and sitting on my bench and I'd not noticed is was side mount. (Slackens jaw, slaps head, gets coat)

HI all, I need a few spokes for spares for my bafang 500w CST, in a 26 inch rim. My cheapo vernier measures the existing spokes at 2.4 mm. 13g is designated at 2.3mm, whilst 2.5mm would put them at 14g. Any of you fine individuals able to use your experience to confirm which one it is, what...

Executive summary: You only need to add about 10mm of spacers and a longer machine screw to go from a 140mm rotor to a 180mm. I did a similar thing to my bike the other day. LBS had the adapter in stock (from 140 to 180) for £12. When I went to pick it up, it was the same bracket as the 140mm...

You'd be guessing wrong. It works fine as it comes with spacers.

M5 and M6 machine screws with hex heads are the most common. I have one of these kits, you could make about 20 emergency kits from it: http://www.toolstation.com/m/part.html?p=72721

Don't know for sure that this will fit: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=729245&categoryId=236256&langId=-1 I fitted one to friends bike today. My usual position on Halfords is less than positive, but credit where...

Cwah, really sorry to hear this. As yamdude says, let's hope that Karma catches up with this scumbag. I'm pretty sure that Mr Karma will have already tracked him from the phone number.

I was offering to lend you a throttle, not a bike!!

If you get stuck, I probably have one I can lend you. In Exeter at some point tomorrow....

Thanks for your help. I will conduct some test and report back in a bit.

Yes, so I'm pretty sure it the battery cutting out.

Ok, managed to get it cut out again, and can now confirm that it's the battery cutting off. Last time it must have recovered by the time I got home and measured it. I would have been drawing 27.5a for a good 5 mins. After a 5 min break it cam back on I was able to use it on the flat. Question...

Ok, just checked it with the watt meter: 27.5 amps max, so it looks like the stickers on my controllers are wrong. Will give it a good run later to see if the LVC problem persists.

Will stick my watt-o-meter on it and thrash it to to within an inch of its LVC tomorrow.

Double checked, it has a sticker that says 22A, and 36/48v, S12P.

The controller is marked as 36/48v on the sticker. It also has a current marking of (from memory) 22 amps. I'm hoping that it picked the battery up as 48 volt. Perhaps I switched the bike on while connected to the charger. For now I have disconnected, recharged and allowed to sit for a while...
