It's difficult to achieve a meaningful result from this poll. I would guess that most people, like me, have little experience of living with and using a variety of ebikes on a long term basis. It's only by using a bike over a period of time and under a variety of circumstances that you come to...

That may have something to do with EU parents having a greater sense of family values and instilling a greater sense of responsibility into their children. Here, parents are likely to buy their off-spring the latest ebike as an alternative to spending time with them. This will get the kids off...

I hadn't realised that the change in the law to allow higher powered bikes had happened already. That was quick. 1500 Watts as well.

I had my first, "near off" of the winter this morning. Work is at the end of an unlit country lane in the middle of nowhere. There was a very wet, but heavy, snow fall which didn't appear to be settling. I was the person first in, so had to stop on a downhill approach to open the gate. This was...

I like to live life on the edge. I have been known to run whilst holding a pair of scissors, pull faces in changeable wind conditions and approach swans, knowing that they can break a man's leg with their wings. This battery stuff is tame by comparison.

To gain an insight into how much energy a battery is capable of delivering, multiply the Ah by the battery voltage. This will give you an idea of how one battery will perform relative to another. It's probably worth biting the bullet and going for the biggest battery that makes economic sense...

Thank you posting your findings Orraman. They, together with flecc's thoughts posted above seem to point to the fact that our Japaneese friend was using a NiMh battery pack, and this is the reason for his lack of success with the alternative battery. As andyh2 has already pointed out, the...

Buttock cheek faced, "Call me Dave" and "Catarrh Hero" Ed could do worse than learn a lesson in truth telling from this guy. I don't know about anyone else, but I am becoming increasingly frustrated by these two continuously telling whatever lies they deem it necessary to tell, in order to stay...

I agree it's a very close decision especially since my Panasonic battery seems to be lasting so well. This needs some more thought.

I have not carried out any investigation to see if this is feasible, but my initial thoughts are to gut the existing Panasonic battery when it is no longer of any use and to route the feed to the motor via the case and existing battery connector (a wire entering an empty case and connected to...

Thank you very much for putting this reference information together. This is certainly an option that I will be considering. Now to do some research on suitable batteries.

OK, you have caught my interest. How did you do it? Thank you.

It's difficult to determine at what stage in its life my battery has reached. The capacity measuring trick of holding down the button for several seconds doesn't really tell me much. My battery has been down to an indicated 60% capacity, only to recover back to an indicated 100% capacity when...

There is a power on/off push-button switch on the handlebars. This appears to be a light duty device used to switch a signal to the main motor circuit. The battery isn't yet knackerd, but at three years old and approaching 10000 miles, I suppose it could give up at any time. Until this...

My 10 Ah Panasonic battery is approaching three years old and has provided excellent performance over many thousands of miles. It may well last for many months, or a sudden cold snap over the winter may kill it. This has caused me to consider alternative. I guess that my options are another...

BOOOOORING!!!! It pains me to say this after over 20 years of watching F1. Maybe they should try replacing Vettel's seat with a bath full of cold baked beans to see if this will, "manufacture" some more excitement.

The best chance that you will have of locating this noise is by investigating the frequency and from this eliminating components. Can you answer the following questions? 1) If you ride in a fixed gear, any will do, does the frequency of the noise increase and decrease with road speed (ie...

This light arrived today and I'm very pleased. It looks identical to one branded as MagicShine, but costs under half the price. It is well made and seems to be a quality item. I don't know if it has an 1800 Lumen output, as claimed, but it lights up the full length of my driveway with...

Those mileage claims may be possible. My 24v 10Ah battery gives close to 50 miles range if used in low power mode. The 36 volt battery has over twice the capacity, so 100 miles + might be achievable. Even though affordable, I don't think that I'd pay in excess of £2000 for a bike. These crank...

About 4 or 5 years ago, I started parcelling up some left over bricks from a building project and using the pre-paid envelopes from junk mail as address labels. I must have taken dozens of these to the post office and all were accepted, so hopefully someone had a big postage bill. I've not...
