JerrySimon, do you never lock your brompton outside? For me, when I'm going out with friends, I don't want to carry with me anything. If we're going to shopping center, I'm thinking that having to roll the brompton for hours wouldn't be conveninent at all. For example, would you go to the...

I can't manage to remove the screw, so I think I'm going to drill. I haven't found any other solution. I now have my drill and my 4mm ALPEN Cobalt Jobber Drill bit (purchased everything as advised): I've found a large pan that could be used as metal sheet: I tried to drill this pan but I...

Merry christmas D3ven and all members from Pedelecs :) I like the alarm idea but my bike is already overcrowded. People in my workplace say it's a terminator bike and ask me if it can fly. I'm trying to reduce the number of gadget rather than adding more lol. Unless it's a very clever addition...

I think it depends on the area you park your bike. I always park it close to the center (Leicester square, covent garden...), and the closer you are to the center, the more dangerous it is. I have 1 D-lock, 1 cable and 1 chain lock for my bike and I always carry them together. That still...

Since I have an ebike, I have many people asking me questions about it. For me, the bike is nice but not that special. Sometimes, when I'm parking the bike, some people stand next to my bike and stare at it. They really look closely, it's like they want to try the bike. Unfortunately, my...

Thanks Flecc. I'm not sure how to check the connection because everything seems fine when the battery is fine. So basically cables are connected, but how do I know when a cable is not well connected? Just hope it's not going to be permanent.

Merry christmas all, I have a 36V10A Li(NiCoMn)O2 battery purchased in september and was using it every day to commute (3 km*2 = 6 km/day). I was doing about 50 to 70 km/week. So in 4 months I've done around 700-1000 km. My bike uses around 12 wh/km. So for 1000 km I used 1000*12 = 12000Wh...

I was thinking about buying a dahon uno for my next electric bike. But from what I've read, most dahon rear dropout are 130mm (just need to bent it a little to have a 135mm standard size) except for the dahon uno that has a smaller dropout because it's a single speed. So I may not buy it...

Ok. I didn't know. I was actually planning to use my 2 zippy flymax in parallel to connect it to my actual ebike. Voltage would be 18.5*2 = 37V. Would that still work with my bike? It's now 36V. But would voltage difference kill a controller?

Hey, I'm glad a benchmark is being done on batteries.Thankssss :) I think what is missing or could be added to this benchmark is the number of lifecycles (because it doesn't matter how good it is if it doesn't last) and Kg/wh (to choose the lightest pack). For the lipo we have this: Zippy...

yeaaaaah! got it very often too. I just say: "It can, but I won't, it defeat the purpose of an electric bike!" :D

Every time people see my bike, they ask me these 3 identical questions: 1. How fast? 2. How far? 3. How heavy? And for each answer, they are quite disapointed. 1. The first bike was supposed to go to 25km/h. But at this speed, the general comment of healthy people is to say they can do that...

ok, got it now! Here the video where we can always see the interstice (with the yellow cable) between the black cover and the end plate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7s8_P8eXqA&feature=youtu.be I suppose it's not bent?

You're right, I didn't go too far with this difficult screw. It's because this one seem really difficult to remove. I tried to use a star key and tap it with a hammer like you said. But I think it reached the end and touches the metal: Tomorrow I'm going to try a bigger key and see if it could...

Hello guys, I'm back. I was extremely busy this week so I didn't have time to pursue my investigation. But now I want to fix it!! I just used the pen test to see if it's true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58Cq8ylfM7Q&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNXbjepM4D0 It's running...

Hi Oigi and D3v3h, I tried to remove the top cover with a big part of these screws: The only one that almost goes inside is this one: > I don't know why but there are mini piece of metal surrounding it when I tried to turn the screw. I didn't manage to remove it, my set of allens key...

really nice wayto explain how it works :)

Guys, I think I found what's the problem... The rotor touches 1 side of the cover, making the screech: > you can see no light go through On other sides of the motor, you can see a thin space in which light go through I suppose the only thing I can do now is to change the motor??

Ok will try that then. I suppose I still have to buy a drill to fix the metal bar? Going to get these as advised previously: NEW 500W 240V ELECTRIC POWER TOOL HAMMER DRILL 3 YR WAR | eBay 2 x 4.0MM COBALT DRILL BITS 4MM DRILLS TOP QUALITY | eBay HSS Tap Set M6 x 1 6mm | eBay DRILL PRESS STAND...

Me too! Just felt asleep when I came back from work. And then now I'm awake but still feeling tired :( I asked the scooter seller, he told me the screws are only used to fix the shaft to the cover. So I'll have anyway to remove from the other side. Gonna buy a drill, make drill the screws in...
