    Cheap batteries.

    On a lighter note, if you look in the same store at the Nokia phone batteries, you can buy 100 for a reasonable price, but look at the delivery cost :eek: Quantity 100: The minimum order for this product is 100 pieces pieces Shipping Cost: US $22,290.03 to United Kingdom...

    Brake lever cut off questions

    Thanks for the replies. John L, you were certainly brave doing a mod on your integrated system :eek: What about the legality of a bike with no cut offs? Also, do the Wuxing levers open the circuit when pulled or close it?

    Brake lever cut off questions

    As my planned electric bike build is verging on slightly the wrong side of the law anyway, does an electric bike require the cut off lever switches by law? Also has anyone ridden a bike without them. Does it make them dangerous? Probably wont be fitting a pedelec, so i can cut the power with...

    Controller throttle

    To be honest, the lights don't really give any useful information, so it's good to know that the actual throttle part could be used for 24v or 36v.

    Controller throttle

    The controller does have this info printed on it, so assume it is the 5v circuit you mention: 24v system Max 14A Rate 7A Low Voltage 21v Throttle adjust 1.2v - 4.4v Serial number: WS X09050019870 The 24v printed on the side of the actual throttle threw me, as i expected to be able to...

    Controller throttle

    Are the Wuxing twist throttles compatible with different voltage motor controllers? For example, if you bought two kits, one a 24v and the other a 36v. Both have Wuxing twist throttles, would they be interchangeable? I did notice that the Wuxing twist throttle on my Cyclamatic has 24v printed...

    Ping battery and 48 volt motor kit

    Does the motor come with a rim? If yes, what size? Also what's the battery capacity? When you say very cheap, what sort of price are you looking at? If you don't wish to make this public, drop me a PM ;)

    Full suspension with rear hub motor???

    Wow, that's a monster. Is that a fan unit installed in the battery pack?

    They've posted a half page advert in the latest Auto Express magazine, so they must be doing well :)

    Full suspension with rear hub motor???

    Are there any major disadvantages to fitting a rear hub motor kit to a bike with full suspension? I tried out a full suspension bike around Halford's carpark today and it rode really comfortably. I know, i know, it was only on fairly smooth ground!!! But do bikes with the rear suspension...

    Carrera Vulcan V Spec Mountain Bike any good?

    For my usage, a mountain bike gives me the best of both worlds. If i fancy a nice lazy, relaxed ride around the local roads, then it'll cope; but sometimes i want to rough it a bit cross country, along the dirt tracks. I'm worried that on a commuter style bike, the shopping basket will fall...

    Carrera Vulcan V Spec Mountain Bike any good?

    Took a look at the Carrera Vulcan V Spec Mountain Bike in Halfords as a possible donor bike for my project. It ticks all the right boxes for what i'm after and appears to be robust. Only thing i would replace is the razor blade saddle :eek: ooooh Still undecided on front or rear hub motor...

    Tyre pressures

    Sorry i did mean through the inner tube. Just mentioned the tyres for reference to the high tyre pressures. Sorry for the confusion. Glad to hear it's normal :) As for goosing molecules... that sounds rude, no explanations please ;)

    Tyre pressures

    Last time i pumped up and checked my tyres was about a month ago. They're both Marathon Pluses and pressured to 65psi (70 is the tyre's max). After my battery issue, i forgot to check the pressures, as i was deperate to get out and about again. After riding, it felt a bit soft and spongy so i...

    salisbury refund-cyclamatic power plus-or start saving

    The Cyclamatic Power Plus is actually a pretty good bike for the price (wait for a discount code though ;) ) For a 24v system it's fairly powerful and goes a fair distance on a full charge. Looks good too and i've had a few people comment on its sporty looks. Most of the cabling runs through the...

    Batteries again.... sorry :(

    Yep eddieo, they sent a new one. Old one must have been knackered. The reason for my battery question is that i'm going to build a bike from scratch for next summer. When i say scratch, i mean buying a fully assembled bike and adding a kit. I thought that buying a large capacity battery not...

    Batteries again.... sorry :(

    I understand that a battery prefers a low discharge rate over a long period, so what is a safe C rating to aim for when calculating a bike setup?
