    Batteries - any new players in 4 years ?

    Not sure about HL cases Kirstin, but think typically with a 5000mah cell one will have a 3p format for a std case, there are larger cases that supposedly take 25ah or more so means that 5 or 6 parallel can fit in. There are a pletherer of 5000mah cells, most are rated about 10a. Like the 18650...

    Batteries - any new players in 4 years ?

    There are three or four cell sellers Kirstin, nkon or Fogstar wholsale are the go to places. Fogstar are by far my to go choice as they vet and test cells for genuine quality, the issue is stock. My last two buys from foggy were LG hg2 and the v,g moli p42a, both bought for 2p 12s packs...

    BBSO1B 36V 500W controller?

    Spot on the money Guerney. More mah doesn't guarantee more range unless one likes to thrash battery cells down to 3v.

    Where did they go to ?

    Nice to here you are still going K, I know with the twins and the two slightly older nippers you had your hands full. And I know how your time is limited with ageing parents. My wife is the same with her parents most of her days are spent looking out and caring for their needs now that both are...

    Fire at ebike showroom

    I think most of the issues are misuse/ folks think that one can simply put them on charge and walk away.

    Jimmy at ebike batteries, important news

    The Gen 1 batteries were as mentioned fairly simple to recell. Being a business there is little help in covering the extra heat cost in a commercial building so I guess working from home means only one bill .

    BBSO1B 36V 500W controller?

    When lookoking for a cell in the 18650 format one needs to do the homework, 3500mah cells are only 10a rated and ok they have good range if deep discharged. If one doesn't deep discharge then cells with mah under 3000 can perform better down to 3.3v per cell more so the high rated current...

    bafang brake sensor pinout

    It shouldn't do, I seem to remember the gnd and signal wires were reversed when I had to change the connection for a kt controller set up on the speed sensor. It's not worth using them as they won't work. The julet Kt yellow connectors are all wired in the same sequence , so pas , brake or...

    Jimmy at ebike batteries, important news

    The two floor unit Jimmy had covered quite an area and a lot of air to keep warm, the ground floor was pretty well full of stock and equipment when I visited some years ago.

    One expects the overheads for rent and esp heating and electricty will have been a big motivator to scale down business.

    Heaviest haul with the Homcom trailer so far

    Definately not, honey;s have a different taste, aroma and colour. Different natural sugars in it's make up. Each hive is extracted seperatly and stored. Spring , summer and autumn collected honey will come from varying nectar sources during the year.

    Speed pickup - tight chain stays

    One can place another magnet on top of the spoke magnet to close the gap, my bbs worked ok at 5mm spacing.

    Heaviest haul with the Homcom trailer so far

    Don't belive the rubbish you read. In honey bees there are varying stages of life and a heirachy, a young new emerged bee becomes at first a nurse bee feeding it's siblings and then general house duties for approx. three weeks (cleaning, undertaking, honey production guard duty etc etc) after...

    Heaviest haul with the Homcom trailer so far

    Honey Bees very active until daytemps get down to 7 or 8 c, big push for them at the mo as the 'Hedera' Ivy is in flower and the last major nectar source before Nov/December arrives. One can smell ivy as it has a very distinct aroma and taste like no other honey, two of my hives on wednesday...

    Heaviest haul with the Homcom trailer so far

    Keep an eye on those wheelbearings and have spares to replace them with the weights carried. I got the CF out this morning to load up & feed the bees and generally check up on them, a cursory check of bearings before fitting the wheels and one was shot to bits, once the QR axle was remove it...

    Any problem solved.

    All year round riding, one has to be hard core/dedicated rider or have no other transport use. Flecc is pretty clued up to usage so may be he can add more light, not just ebike but all types of cycling. Where I live I see rarely more then 1 or 2 others on a bike.
