    it's an age related thing. weight is not a problem for e-bikes and most of my customers are over 70.

    Swifty ebikes - Dispatched and sold by Amazon

    good for them. Drop shipping is the way to go for new brands. Manufacturing needs much space, you either have to do like Volt or drop ship and contract out support.

    Newbie needing touring bike

    Hatti decided to delay it. We are working flat out to clear the backlog on kits, still doing mainly kits, only two thirds through the backlog. I now have to work Saturday morning. I only started on assembling the Caminos yesterday. Hatti decided to delay the Ramblettas 3 weeks for us to catch...

    Swifty ebikes - Dispatched and sold by Amazon

    Silverdale Ave is an ordinary residential street, about a mile from us. There is not enough parking space for residents, leave alone a lorry to pickup or deliver bikes. BBC Click last week made a short reportage on drop shipping setups. All you need is a website to sell. You don't need to make...

    PAS activation when back pedalling

    I have half a dozen PAS models in my workshop - you can see for yourself on the test bench next time you visit. The main thing is how the controller was programmed.

    Bike id like to buy be it e bike or non e bike

    that will limit your choice to crank drive bikes should not be a factor. You can get a better suspension post like the SR SP12 NCX than those fitted at the factory. also should not be a factor. You can get better / larger tyres later.

    PAS activation when back pedalling

    there are two types of pedal sensors, simple and dual hall/intelligent. the simple type (usually in red case) triggers when the magnet passes in front of it, whether you pedal forward or backward. The intelligent type (Dual Hall, usually in black case) only triggers when you pedal forward, you...

    Front or rear hub motor?

    the split for us, on hub bikes (BPM/SWX02) and on hub kits (XF07/XF08), are roughly 40% front, 60% rear. There is an issue with the powerful Bafang BPM when mounted on the front wheel, that a minimum 15st rider weight is needed to put enough pressure/weight on the front. Since Marwood Hill...

    Front or rear hub motor?

    we shouldn't overlook one particular quality of front hub kits. I have never seen a damaged gearbox in a front motor. They are generally more durable precisely because they unlikely stall.

    Silly mistake.

    I agree with wheezy. If it still charges (LED on the charger is red, even if it's only for a few minutes), then it's the output fuse or switch.

    Silly mistake.

    Hi Jim, I think there is a protection circuit and a fuse inside. I'll ask Andy tomorrow.

    Schottky Diode Parallel Pack Adaptor

    I mean you should implement a hysteresis circuit to prevent oscillations. The analogy with water pipes is good. You can sometime hear the water pipes going into resonance.

    Schottky Diode Parallel Pack Adaptor

    for simplicity, consider using BAT2 to recharge BAT1 instead (battery charging regulator). That simplifies the installation because connecting BAT2 output to BAT2 input is a lot simpler than a Y connector and the current is smaller too.

    Schottky Diode Parallel Pack Adaptor

    for a minimum installation, you only need one diode to connect the second battery to the controller + primary battery when the output voltage of the primary battery falls below that of the secondary battery. However, there are two issues to address: anti spark and hysteresis. The first needs to...
