With current 18650 cells the most efficient mah rating and current appears to be 2500 - 2900/3000 mah, only one cell above above this is a really good cell and that is LG's MJ1 at 3400 - 3500mah, the Samsung 35e & Sanyo GA are not as good esp on life cycles. The newer 21700 cells are at the...

Bosch as a model and like the other closed systems, I would say I'm likely not the only one who will think that these branded ebike costs won't come down. Generic ones possibly but with the demand for lithium cells I can't see it.

Bosch prices won't come down.

Likely the phase bullet with intermittent sparking/contact, replace bullets. solder directly or try a MT60 tri-connector.

They both in there own rights have appeal and look the biz.

Displays/lcd aren't universal so depends on the controller maker, though not CANbus they still use command protocols between each other to operate 100%.

I use 18650's from older batteries like you for multiple torch use as well as for using with various other portable devices. These other devices are mainly for my beekeeping, small light power sources to vape my bees for varroa treatment or use the same packs to power my 12v beevac for...

It's not to every ones style though I think one off's that look good should remain as one off's and something brilliant to make people look at and talk about. These great styled bikes may have a small niche market but best kept as a bespoke one off imho, though one could try the bespoke...

Quite a stunning garage build, looks amazing.

Welcome to the forum, experience please do share with us.

With my brothers battery I missed out on some cells to play with, although only 2200mah cells they were pucker Blue 10a Samsung 22P's.

A neighbour of mine gave my details (after asking) to someone he knew as he wanted advice on which kit to buy. Having steered him towards a mid drive or geared hub kit he has come back to me convinced that the D/D hub is best. Having done my best I think he has settled on the price factor of...

If that has helped and cut outs have stopped then it might be an easy fix. But for anyone else trying it I would say, please don't use any metallic object when poking round with the battery contacts. Use a non metallic wooden or plastic tools for safety.

I have had two bent crank arms. One was from a car that T- boned/knocked me off at a junction which I documented on the forum and the other was on a trail. My pedal end struck a hidden log in the undergrowth at speed, ending in one of those undignified off's. Was on the ground before I knew...

As vfr has already said. Connect learn wires, then turn on. Disconnect them when it runs correctly after turning off first.

For some dealers or bike brands I wouldn't be surprised !!!!

Sounds very much as vfr put it ' knackered cells' an indication of voltage collapse when current is asked of the battery. Cell aging/ capacity loss due to high internal resistance of the cells, it doesn't matter how one paints the picture time for a new battery or a re-cell. If the battery was...

My guess is it went by road then air, but as I say a guess.

From what he heard back from Bosch was they were surprised that it was couriered to them in the first place and was unsure how he managed it. This was some 2 or 3 years ago.

Yep, axle only sits in the drop outs half way. We see this quite a bit folks think a 14mm axles or even a 12mm will seat in a 9mm QR without any modding,
