    Battery problem

    I beg to disagree, the OP said the light was green which means the charger had detected 42V so for it the battery was fully charged it doesn't mean that there are 53V in the battery. You can only detect that when checking the battery. It may continue to provide 2Amps to the battery after the...

    Battery problem

    Wrong charger, that charger is for a 36V battery. Add that to your complaint about the seller.

    Battery problem

    http://www.elifebike.com/peng/iview.asp?KeyID=dtpic-2014-8S-T0SC.955NT Maybe you could get away with just swapping out the controller for a 48V one, first you have to find out the voltage of the controller you have. Try getting a 36V battery from the seller for sure (plus shipping and...

    Battery problem

    Is it a BBS01 or a BBS02 350W motor? The first is a 36V motor/controller and the second is a 48V motor.controller. There are stories of over-volting the BBS01 to 48V on endless sphere IIRC

He tried passing me any way...

    Why does a Pedelec cut out at 15.5mph?

    All of my posts about higher speed have been about commuting on the open road. There is no cycle path worthy of that name between home and destination. If you look on the maps they will tell you there is one but in reality it is a (bad) joke and I stay well away from it. I know how to chill out...

    Why does a Pedelec cut out at 15.5mph?

    I can work with 27 kph cut off - the power does go away at just over 25 kph with the cut off set to 27 kph. Big wheels will mean greater downhill and on the flat speeds which should nudge the average up to where I want it. I will be losing some torque going uphill however I think an 18A...

    Why does a Pedelec cut out at 15.5mph?

    I am a speed freak with rugby knees... Each of us has a sweet spot where we feel comfortable. Mine is at about 27-28 kph, just over the cut tout. That is why I keep going on about a legal limit of 30 kph being ideal. The woosh predictor tells me the steepest bit is 15.3% from Saint Jean de Luz...

    Why does a Pedelec cut out at 15.5mph?

    33.47 kph average I like a lot! I can't wait until my big wheel bike conversion is done. My estimation is 30 kph average instead of 27 with 26" wheels on my ride to the station. With a little cheating (20 amp controller and cut off set to 35 kph) I should be able to equal that average. I am...

    Why does a Pedelec cut out at 15.5mph?

    1. are you sure you are in Europe? We always thought you with the bad guys from across the water until Tony the other one (the Blair) did his coming out last week 2. my border is hilly, there is very little public transport hence my recent introduction to the pedelec world, unfortunately the...

    Why does a Pedelec cut out at 15.5mph?

    So the real answer is (if I may flecc) countries with high population density, lots of riders and good talkers in high places dictated to the rest of Europe the speed they should be riding. This is just forgetting the riders in countries with hills or greater distances needed to ride between...

    New folding bike idea

    OK bike europe published the link to the kickstarter campaign and I am more convinced. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/227461008/gi-flybike-the-first-electric-bike-that-folds-in-o It is a vertical position city bike (thus of no use to me here) which has some very cool industrial design...
