that depends on which battery you have but I usually put plenty of grease inside the rim of the controller box, on the battery connector and on the battery slider (which is bolted to the rack). Also, if you put a couple of large rubber bands over the battery / under the rack, that could stop...

the reason I asked is because you are expected to ride 20,000 to 30,000 miles for your green badge exams - does it sound right?

Lee, do you go for one zone or all zones?

Very hard. Firstly, e-bikes are exposed to the elements. Your car's motor and electronics are not rained on like your bike's motor and electronics. You don't pedal your car neither so the pedals don't need to be greased. Secondly, many bikes that are in use daily are lacking of routine...

one crucial advantage of iron phosphate battery over cobalt manganese oxide is tolerance to overcharging due to its very stable crystalline structure. As a result, iron phosphate cells usually last twice, three times as long, easily 10 years, but that does not mean Chinese LiFePO4 batteries...

As I understand, the bike can be repaired but warwick prefers to scrap it and move on to a better bike.

if there were one, it would weigh as much as your car. The truth is, bikes are no where as well built as cars.

on some batteries (I presume also on yours), the battery meter is connected to the cell pack via a two pin JST plug. He probably connects his torch bulb there. You will probably need a better bulb than a torch bulb, but the principle is still the same. Next time, charge the battery to half full...

Straightforward, simple construction, easy maintenance. Not easy to step through, single speed, single walled rims, plastic pedals, cheap brakes and tyres, not good enough if you live in a hilly area. Otherwise, I can't see anything wrong with it.

yes, you can.

I have a theory for that. Sure, there are 40/50 cells in a battery, you only need one of them to become defective to cause a problem. But because they are the same cells used in German bikes, that should not affect more than 1 battery out of a hundred in four or five years. I think the reason...

your battery seems to be out of balance because of long period of inactivity. The battery is composed of 10 cell blocks, the BMS runs from one block. Over time, that block has much lower voltage than the other 9, causing the BMS to shut down. What that guy on the island did was to connect his...

Powerful rear geared hub motors may break spokes. If you have suspension fork, the suspension limits the stress put on the motor spokes, avoiding breaking them. Rear DD hub motor also don't break spokes because the acceleration is gentle. Geared hub motors have a clutch built into the motor...

by virtue of being a member of the EU, we have signed up to the EMU and SGP since their inception, 1998. Lots of people thought that we could pick and choose after hearing John Major's 'subsidiarity clause' but we can't and don't. Our economic policies are modeled on the Germans but our...

you'd like this one:

the two wires blue and brown coming from the battery: brown should be to + and blue - but check with the meter to be sure. the two wires red and black from the motor power cable: red is + and black is - How to make the power cable weather proof? use heat shrink tubing. You only need about 10cm...

faulty cell or cells in third string. You need to isolate and charge each cell individually with something like a imax B6 to see which cell is not working properly.

his weight is a problem. If he has also a large tummy, he will find a large frame step through is much more comfortable to pedal and a powerful motor like a Bafang BPM or an Ezee necessary to help with hills. Normally I would recommend something like a Kalkhoff B8 with Bosch motor but he also...

don't worry about torque setting on the M33. I don't know where the 60NM comes from but it should not apply to the two M33s These only need to be moderately tightened because they are not load bearing, they simply prevent the motor from sliding out of the BB shell. If you don't have an...

that rules out the Ezee Sprint 8. It has no QR on the front wheel because the motor is at the front. I suggest you look at the Woosh Santana 2. It has a quick release front wheel, a rear BPM motor and a maximum speed about 17mph. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana2
