Tbh yes, but it does depend on the cells used in side and the battery cost. The devil is in the specs detail of the battery. Two batteries of different capacity e.g, 11.6ah v's say 17.4ah using the same 2900mah cells would certainly have different life cycles over the same distance. In part...

Yes it has, as all geared hubs do. The AKM hubs have a higher gear ratio then a lot of major producers like Bafang. Mxus or kit suppliers like Yose (Bafang hubs) etc,etc. In my view the AKM hub I have is much better to ride unassisted then the above hubs I have.

No. Part charges are accumulative and not counted as one. To reach the cycle figure it would take 8 years and two complete charges every week.

I gave up washing cleaning after a ride and bikes are lucky to get a clean once or twice a year. Go out ride bike gets mucky, clean it and next day do the same all over again. Pointless in my view.

Cut off both connectors and then solder and heat shrink together is the easy solution. Usually the wire sequence is simple to work out.

There are other drives but whether they are better is another story. Aikema make there own version with a higher gearing ratio. Gospade make the lighter 2.6kg unit but is only available via Alibaba when I emailed them. Mxus and others make one as well.

For hilly terrain opt for at least 10ah/360wh for 20/25 mile range and that is on low PAS assist mode. A regular fit rider will use 8 - 12 wh/m but this is variable on terrain. You will only get an idea of your actual wh/m usage once you have ridden the bike and battery down to the Low voltage...

8.8ah 25 miles tops in my view.

The ezebike is British, the company may be. Though sounds a bit like they have ripped off the name of the longer well established China Ezee bike company. Every single component will be Chinese, likely the bike is spannered together in the UK to get over anti dumping reg's. There are much...

This has always been the case, to get over it I have to ask the other person for an email address to post the pics.

14g spokes are fine in motor hub builds, I use them all the time. They have a bit more flex and give then 13g and are that bit easier to flex if need be when fitting. You will find more 14g options then 13g, for all hubs I use Sapim strongs 2mm 14g and buy from https://www.spokesfromryan.com/...

Also the new Wipser Wayafarer range which is customisable at ordering, choice of mid or rear drive and internal or exterior battery.

Yes as all the power supplied is human endeavour. But why would you want to ? Surely a normal light pedal bike is better ?

I should have omitted the regular phrase and only have said regime. The regime I speak of is simply only fully charge several hours before the next ride, regular daily use then fully charge and use it. Leaving a battery to sit at less then 30 -50% isn't going to hurt if in regular use. The...

You don't need to reset, just go for a few sedate rides to see if the next time you use it the range indicated increases, you are worrying over nothing. As in #31 SW's always reads low because he rides like he's stolen the bike or in most cases like a twat.

The range shown/displayed is based on the last ride/use, to see a higher range indicated you will need to ride in eco at a sedate speed on flat terrain for it to increase. Fully charging the battery doesn't instantly mean it will reset or give a max range, it is based on your last outing.

I had a pair of batteries that did a similar thing a few years ago, both near full charge and both only working for matter of yards before no power, after checking out the batteries the fault was found to be an issue with the main controller.

Most bottle/down tube batteries only have a lock to secure it to the dock cradle, most have a separate on/off switch that switches via the BMS.

Screen condensation is a give away and moisture will have settle on the pcb in side, most likely causing a short or damage to a component. A damp/wet pcb can cause all sorts of issues, moisture on any copper within can cause a short by way of a green track between components or a rust track may...

Inside the battery there is a BMS (Battery management system) to monitor the cells discharge and charging, the BMS is an electronic PCB. It will monitor the cells discharging and charging , in the event of detecting an anomaly or fault it will shut the battery down preventing both charging and...
