    Sounds like a company who don't know much about the tech specs of the bike they are selling.

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    I don't know how thin it folds but by all accounts it is (or was) the the thinnest folder on the market, hence why MB went with the oblong box tube design and the single axle./fork & chainstay. After the Halfway and he left Giant's he designed the 10kg 2D which I think he only made a prototype...

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    One incidence which I have already seen that one on Yacf, isnt't a glaring failure of all Halfways. As the guy said his friend uses it on the S/Downs so may be subject to some abuse. One guy worked out in the oil industryin NIgeria and had one, he reckoned he rode over 14k miles on his one and...

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    I found one report of snapping but tht depends like any folder on how it is treated, used & maintained. Terns snapped we know and had some early bad issues, I have seen a pic of a Tern GSD snapped and that wasn't a folder and also reports of Dahons snapped. If one looks hard enough one will...

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    I won a bid or should say took the reduced offer on a pair of Mike Burrows designed Halfways that were said to be in immaculate condition, sadly two days later the seller has refunded my bid/offer having found one of the bikes has been damaged by builders where they were stored in the garage...

    Help! Samebike 20LVXD30 48v Charging Problem

    Battery should have it's own on/off button aka switch. Sadly that's the joy of some China vendors, one get very poor CS when a problem occurs. Any waarranty may be zilch if one tries to affect a repair by opening anything.

    Fully charged, will not power on, Victoria Pendleton

    I have never needed to wake a BMS up, so reverse charging I have never needed to try on a three wire BMS. I do have a two wire/same port BMS which utilises the same port for charge & discharge but for this it will use seperate circuits to protect the cells from over current on the charge side.

    Help! Samebike 20LVXD30 48v Charging Problem

    Charger is fine then. As the bike is new then it is under warranty, one needs to contact the vendor first before attempting any battery experiments to get it working. Sounds like the battery may be in a sleep mode, try pressing the battery switch for 10 - 30 seconds then try a charge. Other wise...

    Help! PAS not working

    Try pedal backwards to see if PAS engages, if so flip the magnet disc face. C1 03 is correct , personally I would choose a 10 pole magnet disc as they work so much better. 12 poles are temperamental.

    Help! Samebike 20LVXD30 48v Charging Problem

    Check the 13a plug fuse and possibly the charger may hav an internal one. Check your meters battery is ok and working correctly by testing another source, a kettle plug for example or simpll any battery source.

    Help! Samebike 20LVXD30 48v Charging Problem

    Charger voltage is simple for two wire generic charger jack, simply plug charger in to the wall plug and switch on the socket. Use a meter to see the charge output jack gives a reading of 54.6v.

    Fully charged, will not power on, Victoria Pendleton

    If pressing the battery button for 5 secs and one gets the four leds flashing it is indeed charged, one can double check this by taking a voltage with a meter at the discharge terminals. If the led display does not turn on, then it means there is a no power to the display. Check battery is...

    Cameras for safety & insurance

    I had a silly but expensive cateye 3/4cm one on my drop bar gravel bike and it is next to useless with a very poor field of view, the Briskmore is £16 - £21.99 for a pair and I can highly recommend them.

    For a mirror the best I use is a Briskmore 6cm bar end convex glass mirror, can be had on ebay or amazon. It is fully foldable and adjustable and have them on my main three bikes.

    Cameras for safety & insurance

    For some I think it depends on how good ones eye sight is, for instance the other thread with the Black Merc I saw CE where as the Op saw CL. Good discussion though on both threads regarding cameras, reading plates and reporting. To report they don't have to be 100% clear as long as one can...

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Yes, night time is a different ball game even if lit up like a xmas tree. It is the time when most risk speeding more I find esp later after 9 or 10pm. I noticed in the clip his brake lights came on after passing you, was this because of the traffic ahead and they realised they were going too...

    Cameras for safety & insurance

    I read a slighty blurred /fuzzy SE16, by simply enlarging the pic the plate reads much better. The issue comes when one can't read the plate even when enlarged.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Car reg looks like it might be CE02 TOY, comes up as a Benz E250AMG 5 door estate type. Issue is the plate reading isn't clear so plod may likely not do anything. Soon as I saw the still shot my eyes registered CE and not CL.
