    Help! light bike very good on steep hills?

    This country in the main is anti bike, this is born out with the crap non existent bike infrastructure nearly every where. The same goes for trains they just don't want then on board but are happy to provide bike parks at the stations which are about as safe as allowing a tot to cross the road...

    My bikes live in luxury either indoors or in the garage which never gets below a few degrees C. The bike I us e it on is my lightish gravel bike, it has no guards so I only use it for dry running.

    Upgrade controller

    C2 alters the phase sequence, I have tested it before on a bike that was running smoothly on C2/0 and the racket the change made was awful.

    Many on the forum use and have a throttle, it's how it's configured. No one will be prosecuted for it's use.

    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    The guy I met had a high level aerofoil type device on his bike ( a kin to the late 60's/ 70,s lotus's in F1 ), he would charge on the move as well but like your folding array had about 3 X that amount laid out in the sun.

    hi, new to this site, looking for ebike advice

    Any bike you buy online ill be he same, you can't try for fit or if it will suit you. Like wise buying a closed system bike like Bosh, Yamaha or Shimano is really a no no unless a local LBS, one can't simply take a bike anywhere for repair because of commission gained by a vendor to cover the...

    How critical is the number of chain links?

    I often use BBP for items, delivery and service is very good. if you have a bike that needs a longer chain then buy two or three to keep in stock as spare.

    Beginners guide to batteries

    Lipo are a bit old hat for ebikes but that said I have some that I still use 18560 or 21700 offer better choice now, with Lipo one has a 3.5v - 4.1v window for best results, below 3.5v they will suffer a lot quicker then li-on.

    Long commute question

    You can't base your usage on suggestions without knowing the other persons ability or bike used. A good or even average fit rider may be using a lightweight bike or wants a light weight bike to commute on, no use doing so and then adding a 7 to 10lb lump to it. My ability is quite good albeit...

    Stolen Raleigh Motus Tour Electric Bike from outside Sainsbury’s in Stapleford, Nottingham on Saturday 27th February 2021 at 2.30 pm

    If a bike isn't secured to some street furniture then someone can always carry a bike away, tbh in todays world bike owners who don't do so are making the job easy for scum life to nick. I always use two locks.

    Upgrade controller

    There's an outside chance of trying all the C2 parameters to see if any one of them will work as C2 is Phase related. Incorrect phase sequences that result in noisy operation could blow the controller.

    Long commute question

    Capacity isn't a deal breaker if you only do low miles every day, for instance on my town bike 36v 14.5ah is replaced with much smaller and lighter 12s 2p 6ah 40a home made bottle battery. On another bike the 208wh battery does me for 25miles approx., so my 264wh 6ah one will get me a bit...

    Beginners guide to batteries

    Building a battery teaches you how the parallel and serial connections work, also how voltage flows with each serial connection to the next P group. Wiring up the BMS and the pack charge and discharge wiring also leads to more knowledge gained. Once confident one should be able to sort out any...

    Upgrade controller

    If C1/5 works then 6 &7 may also work and feel better. If you want a continuous ODO readout and mileage recorded wire in a wheel speed sensor with a spoke magnet, the process is quite simple and easy to wire in.
