    how far

    How big is your battery? How much do you pedal? On the flat or in hilly terrain? Head wind? Wheel diameter? Rider and bike weight? Motor power? ... ad nauseum. Many factors to take into account with your question. My answer is between 65 and 100 km depending on the factors above and with the...

    Bosch made the VW emission cheating dongle.

    Volkswagen reported that net profit attributable to shareholders rose to €10.85 billion ($12.3 billion) last year, up from €9.15 billion in the same period a year earlier. Group revenue rose 2.8% to €202.5 billion and sales rose 4.2% to 10.14 million vehicles. I am assuming that VW pay tax...

    Is it possible ?

    My question about connecting via the charger port seems to have gotten lost: I just make a cable with the round charger plug at one end and the decharge plug at the other? Any idea of where can I source the plugs? (other than BMS Battery) cheers Tony

    Bafang hydraulic sensor

    They are still in the box. Didn't mount them. Don't have the intention of mounting them. I don't have a throttle that can jam wide open just plain old PAS. And I have no problems in traffic, I use the lowest assistance settings or I am first away from the lights and on full power. I will...

    Looking for a reliable long range bike

    That I had not thought of. I just splice a round charger port plug onto the end of a battery cable? Where can I buy one of those plugs?

    Custom ebike kit vs ready built

    Keyde bottle battery: This is the perfect size but it is only 33V, it mounts in a normal bottle holder. If a company could make a 10A 36V version of this I would have a pair of them in the blink of an eye.

    Custom ebike kit vs ready built

    I know a bag is a thief magnet. I am just hoping he will be discouraged when he opens to only find a solidly mounted battery carrier with battery locked in or not. The plan is to have an aluminium plate with rivnuts for the battery holder and at least one, preferably two of the bag attaching...

    Custom ebike kit vs ready built

    Gentlemen, it is 2015, ladies ride men's bikes and men (the saints forbid!) ride step-through frames, oh the horror. It is a low bar frame please. I have the same type of low bar frame and my battery carrier is going to be mounted to a plate inside a pannier bag (9.95€) which is "permanently"...

    Winter prep for chain driven ebikes

    If you have a common bottle battery it is a good idea to drill a couple of drain holes in the bottom of the holder otherwise water will accumulate there.

    Need a bottle battery

    There is no mention in the above listing that the cells are Samsung. I haven't seen Samsung cells on sale at that price. I will have a second hand 10.4 A one for sale in a short while (November). Reason for sale: not enough range, I need more than 65km over hilly terrain...

    Custom ebike kit vs ready built

    I am too old to care if it is called a ladies frame anymore! o_O The weather has finally turned to jean wearing temperature and I have trouble getting my leg over the bar, this type of frame is ideal. You have to measure the space at the narrow end of the frame and have enough room to slide the...

    Custom ebike kit vs ready built

    I have a frame like that in front of me as I type. My current problem (besides money...) is finding a battery that will fit in that small triangle. I think maybe the new 08 bottle battery might go in there, just a "heads up" and something for you to check.

    Converting from two to three wheels

    Rear wheeled tricycles (short wheelbase) are no good in corners, I carry yet the scars from my childhood to prove that point... Thats is why this http://hasebikes.com/85-1-Recumbent-Bike-Kettwiesel.html and other delta trikes are long wheelbase.

    Converting from two to three wheels

    I stand corrected, sorry annsimpon. It looked good on the web site, it even stands on its own in the video... Carrying, folding, transport, going through bike path obstacles... Oh my you are asking for a lot! If I had mobility problems, could still pedal and had the cash :p this would be my...
