    Buying used e-bikes

    Yes, likely. Low end bikes very rarely have any complicated electronics because of the price point. A pic of the discharge connector to the bike controller would be useful to confirm. The charge input is XLR 4 pin but any input can be used as most batteries will come with a new charger. The...

    Buying used e-bikes

    Good buy'S Nigel, you have done well. You have bought a recognised well known brand ( by us on the forum), to us they aren't a no name rubbish bike with crap batteries. Used can still be a lottery if it does go pear shaped after a year or less then one is left with approx. a £300 bill for a...

    how do!

    With cable disc brakes the easy answer is to swap them with hydraulic brakes, you can get a pre bled set of NEW Shimano m365 brakes for about £70. About 30 - 45 mins to swap both front and rear over and job done. No need for wire stretch or kinks & no snagging of the wire. For < £40 one can get...

    Buying used e-bikes

    Both the elops and mxus will use a simple 3 speed pas low med and high, the controllers will be speed control so you will get max current in each level with varying speeds up to the cut off. High will be 25km/h , med about 20 km/h and low about 15km/h. Both will use a generic battery so...

    Buying used e-bikes

    The only time a used ebike makes sense is if you can get it really cheap. Like Georgehenry with his cyclamatic #2, £100 a few years ago and it is still going strong.

    Can I swap battery from my old bike into new bike (both are 36v lithium)?

    Inside the hub there isn't much to g wrong, hall sensors may have failed, an external test with a meter will taka a couple of minutes to see if that is so. The nylon gears on the clutch assembly may have failed.

    Can I swap battery from my old bike into new bike (both are 36v lithium)?

    It can be done, though one needs to do it correctly and safely. Consideration in to both battery voltages need to be considered if paralleling them up as one battery. A bad bodge job or widely uneven voltages can end up as a fireball, rare but extreme events should one occur.

    what shoes to buy

    For winter riding feet will chill quicker if too tight a fit, also and avantage for warm feet is to wear over shoe covers for added warmth /comfort.

    Can I swap battery from my old bike into new bike (both are 36v lithium)?

    If the controller doesn't have learn wires to auto sync motor phase/halls then you have to do it manually via a simple chart, there are 36 possible phase/hall combo's and only up to six will work correctly. That is assuming the hub motor is /was in good working order. If you want to try the...

    500W 48V geared hub motor for FRONT 135MM dropouts

    Using a freewheel hub for the front means you won't have the freehub body which will look stranger then the freewheel version.

    what shoes to buy

    With mtb/cycle footwear I always buy at least one size larger for fit other wise they all feel tight, for winter wear with thermal socks or two pairs socks I go two sizes larger.

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    The lock washer as you call it is the anti rotation washer pretty much the same, one gets on a Shimano Nexus or Alfine hub. It can go either side of the drop out depending on the axle spacing needed. One can up turn the bike, with hydraulic brakes simply squeeze the brake lever several times to...

    Help! Best kit for hilly area for 16 stone and incredibly weak leg muscles

    The main issue with hubs is finding on marked 250w, that is where Woosh come in as theirs are now . Otherwise controller kit wise and peripheral's I only use Kuenteng stuff, simply because they are very good value and reliable with great current control levels. PAS 1 13%, PAS 2 20%, PAS 3 33%...

    For measuring battery voltage use the 200v scale for a bit more accuracy. For the 5v measurements use the 20v scale.

    Help! Best kit for hilly area for 16 stone and incredibly weak leg muscles

    I still can't see why you are looking at TS with throttle for the wife ? A cadence with throttle kit will be better, at least then you have the option of ghost pedalling when the thumb gets tired or aches.

    Yes the TSDZ2 is TS drive with throttle. Some TSDZ2 are configured without throttle and can't be retrofitted.
