That's an interesting point you make about the eZee battery and illustrates very well how difficult it is to make any sense of a battery guarantee.

You’re right flecc, it is a very difficult area. In fact, when you consider all of the variables it becomes almost impossible to deduce expected battery life. I am sure that under the right conditions, the Schwinn battery with its, laughable 90 day warranty, could last longer and give better...

A couple of recent posts have caused me to consider, what is a battery guarantee? Some battery guarantees are quite measly, only lasting a few days, whilst other appear to be very generous, boasting 2 years. But what are they guaranteeing? To the layman, lacking the rich knowledge of some...

Interesting. Thank you for the replies. Tom

Thanks for the review. Being a Pro Conect owner, it made interesting reading. I was particularly interested to hear about battery performance. My battery which has now been used for about 3000 miles (exchanged just over 12 months ago) is showing definite signs of wear. I have had the usual 4...

I was just wondering why you have 3 spare (4 in total?) batteries. Do you have a long way to go, to and from work?

Thanks Flecc. She has made three visits to the store to try out the Schwinn. The first time she visited the battery was flat, the second time she vistied the battery had been connected to the charger but not switched on, and on the third visit, she found that the battery had been charged but no...

My sister-in-law who lives in Newfoundland is in the market for an electric bike. I don't think it will be getting heavy use for commuting, just mainly leisure. She has seen this Schwinn model. Does anyone have any thoughts on it or Schwinn in general? The other bike she is looking at is a...

It looks like something spawned directly out of Beelzebub's backside. The other models look nice though.

Fecn's cell cooling theory fits perfectly with the battery cold weather characteristics that I have experienced.

I too am experiencing exactly the same battery characteristics as I did last winter. Nearly all of my cycling involves travelling along exactly the same route as I commute to and from work, so I have a constant against which to measure the battery performance. When the bike was new in June...

This seller does have a rather disturbing name. (The one on Ebay)

Good work!

I use a cap full of car shampoo in a bucket of warm water, wash everything using a sponge, leave it to dry naturally for a few hours and wipe the frame with GT85. I don't like WD40, it leaves a sticky film which attracts dirt.

I'm no expert either, but from what I have picked up in this forum, lithium battery cells are stressed most at their fully charged and fully discharged state. For this reason, the consensus of opinion seems to be not to recharge after a very short run taking, say less than 10% out of the battery...

I think 50 Cycles deserve credit for taking the trouble to recover this bike for the owner. After all, they are a business and a business exists to make a profit. Travelling to St Albans to get the bike back has not made them any money at all and they didn’t have to do it. They could have sent...

From your photograph it looks like fretting damage rather than corrosion of the contact surface? I know that this is of no help to you, but my bike has no hint of contact corrosion on the blades, I have just been to check. I've had it for 18 months and used it all year round so I expect that...

It does sound familiar. This perhaps? Having said that, it was Aldby who started the linked thread.

:confused:

What is the beam pattern like on the DealX light? Does it throw the light forward or is it more of a flood? All of the cheaper high power LEDs that I have seen tend to produce a floodlight beam with very little distance penetration.
