    the woosh Sundowner has 8Fun SWXK motor and 14A controller, the Big Bear has 8Fun BPM motor and 20A controller. The Bear flattens hills while the Sundowner does not. For moderate hills - about 6-7% - the Sundowner is a very nice Dutch style bike but for steeper hills, the Bear is a better bike.

    An odd battery fault - can any battery guru’s explain ?

    the flashing LED indicates that the voltage collapses then comes back. It oscillates between 0V (when the current through the bad cells collapses) and 50V. The LED panel is powered by a 5V buffered supply which is relatively unaffected, but the motor did not receive sufficient power to keep going.

    Would you convert this bike?

    yes, I would - the only problem is to fit a battery to the rear rack. Most rack batteries need matching rack so they can be locked to the rack. You need to pay about £25 for the new rack in addition to the battery. The £499 Woosh Big Bear kit would be suitable if you can get them to supply the...

    electric road bike... or not worth it?

    I am not sure cwah is clear about his requirements. In the past, he threw money at his Bromptons. More recently, he threw money at different motor technologies. These strategies worked in the past because there weren't anything in the market that folds and has a decent motor and decent battery...

    Which ebike?

    the £899 woosh zephyr-B is within your budget. It's has everything you'd need for a commuting bike on very hilly terrain: BPM motor, 20A controller, 26" kevlar tyres and 10AH battery. It's the only one under £1000 with hydraulic brakes. Plus it folds.

    My first conversion project - Carrera Subway 2

    I take it that the $8 covers the sensor itself, not the cable that comes from the motor. you still have to repair the socket first. Once done, the current sensor may just work.

    My first conversion project - Carrera Subway 2

    you've got the 2014 model. The sensor seems to be intact, the fault could be damaged cable. You could spend $30 getting another sensor without result. Try to measure the voltage on the holes of the socket that this connector plugs into on the motor side. There are three holes corresponding to 3...

    Conversion Kit Guidance

    @kevin Smith: rear wheel CST hub kits with 15AH battery from woosh £499. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits The XF07C motor is not powerful though. If you have hills, get the BPM version (same price) and buy a replacement freewheel for your gears.

    Impossible bike

    it's not a bike, it's an electric skateboard. Keeping balance on that thing will be a challenge. beautiful concept but wholly unpractical. I reckon it will sell well as a toy.

    just a simple question (possibly)

    The average 36V Lithium ion battery can take about 90W from the charging port while lipo batteries can easily take triple that, 250W-300W, fast charging your battery. Still, the easiest way is to use an off the shelf 900W inverter generator that has a 30A 12V output port, then two 6 cell...

    My first conversion project - Carrera Subway 2

    you have an LED on the sensor. If the sensor is still working, the LED blinks when the magnet passes in front of it.

    justin beba.... or just out of beba?

    Nobody knows what's going on inside this trades body. BEBA seems to me a pet project of DM and Batribikes - beside flecc's, I've never seen a post by another member of BEBA.
