Thanks John. My actual problem is that I can't see where it was soldered before. I'll try to get a picture as soon as possible. And my seller Conhismotor is not answeriiiing... my god, I hope the 2 years warranties were not just lies... :(

The one from the Gadget show is a nano-brompton. This one is I think smaller. Also, for the 60 miles ranges I think you'll need peddle assistance. This distance wouldn't be reachable on full throttle.

Thanks d8veh. I'll wait tomorrow to see what Conhismotor seller tell me. Maybe take a better picture at work tomorrow. I can't do anything better with my old phone. For soldering, I'll try to practice a bit on something before. Just to make sure I don't do anything wrong. I think I just have to...

Specs seem good. Exept the speed. Do you know if it's possible to increase the speed to 35-45km/h?

It's not very clear (actually it's not clear at all), but there is 4 wires. In the middle there is a black wire. That's why I don't know where should the green one be solded. Why shouldn't I solder? It shouldn't be too hard? I just purchased that on ebay: Variable Temperature Soldering Station...

I know. I've got my previous phone stolen so I can only do crappy pictures with my actual phone.. Waiting for the iphone 5.. For the green wire, I don't know how to solder, but I did it when I was in high school. Maybe I can still do it now. Problem is that I don't know where the green wire...

Today I hit something with my speed controller and it was completely detached from the bike: Here is how I fix it back. But now, the pedelec is only at the lowest speed, I'm litterally running at 10km/H :( I tried to see what happened inside: It seems that the green cable has...

Nice bike. Not that stealthy though, it's easy to wonder why the tube below the seat is so big. And that's also where the battery is usually placed.

That looks great. I wish to have something like this but usually 16" wheels are too slow. what is the bike weight, speed and distance?

Flecc & Eddio, I'm using 2 locks now for my bike and I keep the battery in my bag when I lock it. But what a pain... I would really prefer to have only 1 lock and not to take all these precautions. Anyway, I may still subscribe to an insurance if parts are insured and claim procedure is not too...

The problem with electric bike is also the battery. Because thieves can also unmount the battery with some screwdriver.. But main problem is not that: No lock can't be unbeaten by a good thief. Eddieo, do you live in a big city? And if so, do you park your bike in the street? I believe risk...

Guys, I live in London and almost all cyclists I know have already been stolen. And my bike front wheel was also stolen when I lived in Paris. It's very common in big city, and I'd say it's a lucrative business for many thieves. If you live in a big city, and if you have to park your bike...

For 2K, why not just a nano-brompton? It can easily be on a car and rides well.

Agree, but I live in a shared flat and I don't have household policy. So for now the best is a cycle insurance. Maybe it can help others too.

Hello there, I'm looking to insure my electric bike. I really need to be able to lock it somewhere without being afraid of being stolen. I came across several cycle insurance, and I'm on my way to make a decision. Information found will be gradully added here: Users feedback: Cycleguard...

Lol ok, just for the challenge then ;) I'm following this thread closely, maybe you can make this bike go to 40km/h and weight less than 20kg? ;)

but for £500, wouldn't that be better to purchase a second hand bike and 1000W motor, and get a new battery?

Sorry I'm not sure to follow what is the project Beastmatic? is it some kind of "pimp my bike"?

Ok thanks for the explaination Flecc. As long as it goes fast and is not too heavy, hub motor (it's direct drive I suppose?) is fine for me.

Sorry for my newbiness but what's so special about the crank drive? Isn't the standard kit from Hong kong as good? (or better?)
