    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Have a read of this if you think that's funny. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/05/tommy-robinson-and-the-double-standards-of-political-violence/amp/ Surprisingly, it seems that the press forgot to mention the other incidents, where two people punched TR in the face on the same day. A bunch...

    Max mph

    How many gears are on the back? The easiest and cheapest way to get higher gearing in top gear only is to fit a DNP freewheel gear cluster on the back, which has 11 teeth on the top gear instead of your 14. They cost about £20

    I'm going on my first organised bike ride - realistically what do I need to take?

    If it's an organised ride, the others always have tools and stuff, so save yourself the weight.

    remove speed from samebike 20lvdx30

    Some people are just born unlucky. there's a good explanation why here. In principle, you can use just about any controller and LCD for your bike because they all work the motor the same. After-market ones are normally without speed limit or they have a programmable speed limit. Any...

    Bike to carry 8 -10 year old

    I've ridden one. There's a wire loop that you can join at the controller that changes the throttle to full range, which is not strictly legal. I rode mainly with the throttle, but did some distance with the pedals, which is a bit weird at first because of the low gearing (I derestricted mine too...

    29x2.2 low rolling resistance tyres

    I'm watching the Tour de Yorkshire on TV right now. Widest tyre is about 25mm AFAICS. Can I suggest that you write to some of the teams (or all of them) and tell them where they're going wrong. Maybe they'll send you a reward when your winning formula gets them a trophy.

    If you have any problems when it comes, ask again, but I'm pretty sure it'll work immediately.

    remove speed from samebike 20lvdx30

    That throttle/LCD in your Aliexpress link doesn’t control the speed in any way. It's completely dumb. It can only read and display the speed. If you have that one on your bike, the speed limit is programmed into the controller. The controller could still give access to the speed limit via a...

    My Freego Eagle.

    The problem is that there are different versions of the Freego controllers. I can remember something weird about the wiring and that different versions didn’t match, so I'm not surprised to see those cut wires. If your throttle works, you don't need to worry about the cut wires except the pedal...

    Issue with battery/motor experienced people help please

    It may well turn out that your battery is bad, but don't jump to conclusions. You haven't done any tests or measurements yet, so the only thing you'll get is wild guesses. When an ebike doesn’t work properly, you have to measure and check things to find out what's wrong before you start shelling...

    Help! Replacement electronic controller required

    That's what we call an LED control panel. That information is quite helpful in identifying which version you have. The later ones have LCDs. Your version is a bit rudimentary by modern standards. You have a choice now. You can use the opportunity to upgrade your bike to a much better control...

    Help! Ebike problem battery not charging

    You switch your charger on, hold the negative probe to the outdide of the jack and stick the positive (red) one up the middle. Your meter should be set to read DC volts. From what you've said, it seems that you don't have a basic understanding of how electricity works, which worries me a lot...

    Bike to carry 8 -10 year old

    Have you seen the Eskuta? Basically, you just need to turn the pedals to get full power. They have a 48v system, so plenty of power compared with a normal ebike, and the battery is big too so you can get a reasonable range while using full power. They have passenger footrests so carrying a...

    Help! Ebike problem battery not charging

    Did you look at the charge port? You should be able to see if it has damage. Look for damage or burning of the earth blade, assuming that it has a 5.5 mm jack. The other thing to check is the charge fuse/s in the battery and charger. The easiest way is to measure the voltage on both the...

    Help! Replacement electronic controller required

    We can walk you through the process. If you can solder (or have a friend that can do it), you'll be fine. Before we can recommend the right replacement, you need to show us what you have. please take one or more photos of the controller you have that shows each connector and the wires on it...

    Samsung 18650 Li-ion LiNiCoMnO2

    Building yourself is never going to be cheaper than a ready-made battery unless you're going to build several. Do you have a spot-welder? If not, you need to factor in the cost. Remember that it only takes one balance wire to wear through or short out on a cell to set your house on fire.

    Bafang gear sensor

    That's a very strange thing to say. Have you tried a gear sensor? Do you have a BBSxx? If so, which one and how much power?
