    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    Until the case has concluded or during the beaks summing up we won't know the outcome but like the Alston case (no ebike) he will likely go to jail if illegality is found/proven. There will be a knee jerk reaction after the case by the media and suspect the Met will for a while be stopping a...

    It's bloody new and broken!

    At your weight you will never get 50 miles that might be quoted and certainly not in power mode, max range is in lowest assist level available and under 15.5mph.

    It's bloody new and broken!

    What assist level are you using ? Good/v.good range is down to many variables low assist is one of them , other important ones are rider weight and input, terrain/hills and wind resistance. You can add to the list but these are the basics.

    Help please, TSDZ2 problem...

    I have no experience with the tsdz but one thing you shouldn't be doing is applying full throttle with a faulty motor or controller.

    Tsdz2 on cyclescheme

    The lingbei is very marmite and knowhere as good as the TSDZ in it's ability. If you scourer ES not very good reports on it, it appears the TD part of it is in lower power/speed mode and is pretty useless higher up the range and is more like a cadence mid drive.

    48V 2P BATTERY- any good

    Life cycle for LG m50 is poor, capacity wise it isn't much better then the Samsung 50. From what I read the value in using 21700 over 18650 doesn't compare, going 2p is none starter which proaby ties in with Jimmy's views.

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    A legal bike can't be convicted of speeding but a charge of wanton or furious riding can be used.

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    In the video he was certainly going at a fair lick, there was another cyclist some way ahead of him on the N/S and he was catching him hand over fist. What we can't see is a proper clear view of the rear hub and whether a geared or D/D hub my suspicions are that it is likely a D/D hub.

    It's bloody new and broken!

    A 36v battery is so called because that is the nominal voltage, it's suitable working voltage range is 32v - 42v. Each volt in the usable range is aprrox 10% , you can use this as a rough guide to it's charge % state. The charger must read 42v out put when not plugged into the battery, simply...

    It's bloody new and broken!

    31.4v is lvc so it will flash as the battery BMS will not allow any operation, it is possible that going so low on a new battery may mean an unbalanced cell group. Which means that a cell group may now be lower then the rest, so as mentioned place it on charge and when the charge light turns...

    Buying first Mid drive Kit Help

    You need proper decent 10a + cells tbh, and the more cells in parallel the better. The controller rating of 25a max means you need a battery that can deliver 30a plus without to much bother, although cells are rated you want to consider only applying half the current if possible for...

    Buying first Mid drive Kit Help

    In my view and practical use of 29E cells, ideally you need something better then 4p of 29E with 25a max controller discharge if you want the cells to last.

    Heinzmann Classic error code

    Two mostly likely candidates for water ingress are throttle and display. If water has got in the display then it causes shorting/contact issues with switching, try removing the display and place in a warm place to see if it dries out, place it in a bag with rice or silicon sachets to draw out...

    48V 2P BATTERY- any good

    50E is Samsung, in 2p isn't going to cut it the cells are only 10a rated (9.8a) so they are going to be maxed out quite a bit and will die quite quickly. 50E is quite poor and only has a 60c upper rating before being compromised by heat. At 5a discharge to 3.2v they will give 3750mah , 8a about...

    I'm new to e-bikes and have lots to learn...

    I use Garmin Connect to plot courses (using OS Explorer maps) and down load courses to my Touring GPS, it then follows the course and has a missed turn option to keep you on course. Great for rides without stopping to look at maps or deciding which turn to take next. I also carry OS explorer...

    Are handlebar gear changers back to front

    Have to agree they are quite good, I have a Shimano set on my Boardman tourer.

    Oxygen s cross max speed

    Just think if you lose 10% of your weight, you could go 10% quicker. Reduce the assist and speed level you use so that you physically help more in providing the assist, find a lower level your happy with then when it gets too easy again go a bit lower again and so on.

    Oxygen s cross max speed

    My Oxydrive kit with Bafang CST no markings but Andrew listed them as 250w maxed out at 24.6mph. The max speed will depend on the motor winding , 22mph you should be happy with that. Not forgetting as you near max speed the current (amps ) will cut back so torque is less, at this stage you are...
