    Balancing

    Most batteries have a BMS fitted, the BMS only allow top balancing which happens above 4.15v per cell which is 29.05/24v , 41.5v/36v or 53.95v/48v. To make charging simple stick to a regular regime always fully charge till green light to balance the battery several hours before a ride. It isn't...

    Balancing

    A lot of the guys on ES don't use a BMS and manually check there balancing or use a programmable smart BMS. Those who manually balance use a balance lead on the outside of the pack like a Lipo does.

    possible dying battery pack?

    If it is the battery sounds like cells or some are knackered tbh, might only be a bad cell or two causing a severe voltage drop or current draw to be low. What you need to do is measure/check the voltage with a meter after it is charged to see if there is a problem, like wise when out on a run...

    Powered Pedicabs/Rickshaws seized by the Met.

    The operation was likely due to complaints from legal operators who probably felt there business was under threat.

    For Sale 3 electric bikes

    £100 - £200 per bike is my estimate, if you put them on the Bay. Really depends on how many go for them. The SLA ones aren't popular and are no where as good as lithium powered bikes.

For a major city or very large town you need a bike that doesn't stand out too much amongst the others though an electric one will always be a tempting magnet. The answer is to...

    The Gocycle will be a magnet for the lowlife scum, 100% keep it indoors and still keep it locked. It is a lovely designer bike. Cwah had his locked bespoke diy bike stolen from outside a tube station, he posted a vid on here. Gone in matter of seconds in broad day light.
