Hi DKOhara Steve is correct, all Li Po batteries must be kept charged at about 2/3 full over any long period of inactivity and re-charged every 6 weeks or so to keep the battery in tip top condition. If is left flat for even a relatively short period you can seriously damage the cells. I...

Hi Andy What a good point, we should all be giving Nm figures for drag at various speeds. There is a lot of nonsense talked about motor resistance and free wheel. There are also massive differences from system to system and these differences are important. Would that work for you? If so...

I totally understand Cogs, I am much the same. :D Your bike sounds superb! Best regards David

Only pre production prototype but I will take some images today. All the best David

Hi Clv, The kit will come installed in a wheel, however I am sure we could work something out for you. The choice of wheels (all Alex eyletted) will be C700, 26,24,20 Disc or V brake. All the best David

Hi Lynda I hope so too, I will keep the Forum up to date with progress. To answer your question, although the battery shape will be different we have committed to keeping improvements and upgrades interchangeable with existing models wherever possible. With respect to batteries this will...

Hi Cogs, good to see you understand the reason decent bike parts are so important! All the best David

Sorry to bang on but another component that seems insignificant but can make all the difference in the world to the longevity, performance and cost of an electric bike are the electrical connections. We now pay up to £5.00 for each of our most important connectors, cheap versions are...

Hi again Cogs I do understand your points. However...... There is so much that can sway the price when choosing the components for an electric bike. For instance a cheap alloy frame can be bought for under £7.00 whereas a decent one will cost more than ten times that. Cheap suspension...

DaaBag (like a Camelback) complete with 15.5Ah battery and water bladder will be available as a part of the DaaHub Extreem Kit to be launched in September. All the best David

Hi Cogs, there is no harm in having a look, it could be a bargain! It won't be a Wisper though. :o Best regards David :)

Departure from Hanoi Here is the latest Video from Guim and ThuyAnh as they set out from Hanoi after the wedding. Departure from Hanoi on Vimeo All the best David

We have been studying a new type of Li Mn cell currently used by the Chinese and US military. We have tested and rated these new cells in real e-bike test conditions at 1C discharge instead of the usual .2C discharge. When tested at 2C and not .2C the difference in predicted life cycles in...

Hi Killjoy, I am looking into it now for you. Best regards David

Absolute garbage Paul! We stopped using both Pandas and Cambodian midgets in our batteries nearly 3 weeks ago now, we find Black Rhinos and Tigers have a higher energy density. Regards David :D Apparently, the use of rare metals such as cobalt in battery manufacturer is not...

As always spot on Flecc, thanks for your input! It is so very tempting for manufacturers (us included) to run the batteries down as far as possible without damaging the cells so we can extend the range of our bikes. However now we have been able to safely increase the Ah available from our...

Hi Paul you of course are correct this was because of exchange rates relevant at at the time the price list was made up, however there will be an adjustment in the near future. All the best David
