    Brakes

    I dismantle the wuxing brake lever to retrieve the wired plunger/sensor unit with end connector, using 2 part epoxy I glue the sensor on to the brake body and then use an ali stop on the lever to activate the plunger.

    Why bike part manufactures doesn't make robust ebike specific drivetrain parts?

    For 400w human power one needs to be a pro cyclist, 400w isn't far off the average of a Tdf rider with bursts up to 1300 -1400w for the sprints.

However one can have a working throttle to 15.5mph if it is activated only after one has pedalled, once the throttle is released one again has...

    Help! New chain needed ?

    One of the nice places I like to visit is the Chattri memorial a place where returning hindu and sikh soldiers who died of their injuries in WW1 were cremated. A lovely spot where one can just sit and listen to the nothingness of peace and tranquillity, I eat my lunch snack there before...

    Ebike wheel wont stay on

    There is no gain in running a 3kw hub at 48v, one might as well use a lighter smaller hub instead at 48v . One doesn't need to buy a new new frame, there are a few on ebay. Reynolds chomoly steel, Genesis frames , trek Mtb frame. The main detail is to closely look at the drop outs for a nice...

    Help! New chain needed ?

    One can stil use hub bikes for offroad rough stuff, I do. Though don't do none of the very fast down hill or jumping stuff. I use a Akm 128c in a 700c rim for my riding and don't just stick to old railway trails, I expect when on the S Downs it goes many a place that those who ride mid drives...

    Ebike wheel wont stay on

    You will likely be better off with anew bike frame with suitable dropouts, as thought (pic #1) the axle nowhere sits deep enough for any decent purchase in the drop out. In pic two it looks like that the axle could have sat in a lot deeper with some careful filing (though could just be the pic...

    After ebike conversion, has anyone had a higher rate of broken spokes or bent wheels?

    Double check that nipples are part of the order, if not you will ideally want new ones. The shorter spokes will be for the drive/rhs as the rim will be dished over to that side to centralise the wheel in the drop outs. I don't bother with different size spokes and buy one size. A couple of...

    Ebike wheel wont stay on

    The hub axle will be 14 x10, the bikes original drop outs will only be likely for 9mm QR. Currently the hub axle is simply rolling out of the shallow 9mm drop out. The hub axle has a pair of flat sides and these need to sit fully in the drop out, you will have to file the drop out at least...

    suspicious ebay post

    Police aren't at all interested nor are ebay, ebay facilitates thieves. A couple of years ago a hooky load of Batribikes went up for sale with yes you may have guessed no batteries, they were new model year bikes that were stolen from a lorry. Batribike themselves I believe got no where with the...

    Advice needed on my hub please

    The 9 pin connector is a sensored hub, for controllers it must be a sinewave/sensored model. If you buy a waterproof cable type then the controller will also have a similar connector but a female one or if you buy one with the other flat style connectors it will have bullets and a block...
