I have a few questions on the Brompton ebike and its sensor/control mechanism. A friend bought one a week or so ago; his wife's happy but he isn't so happy. (They had thought of buying a pair). His main issue is he says it takes two pedal turns before the assist really kicks in; that seems high...

We've had a (2nd hand) Motus for a bit over a couple of years, and never explicitly turned the battery on or off. I just noticed in the Intuvia manual it says to turn off the battery as well as the display: With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off button on the eBike battery (bicycle...

I'm copying the end of a thread from Cycling UK forum: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/posting.php?mode=quote&f=55&p=1512010 I think there are more people here who can comment on power ratings and why/if there is justification for scooters to have higher power ratings than e-bikes. Interesting, I...

https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/rockrider-e-st500-water-ingress.37687/#post-571440 A post by another member made me think (it happens every now and then) and to ask ... Any engineer out there like to estimate what a bike without a single point of failure would look like? How much would...

No surprise here ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53219331

What are the implications of changing a 36v XF07 to 48v? (standard Woosh XF07 kit with Lishui 17a controller). Clearly a new battery is needed. Would it need a new battery mount? Would it need a new controller? (I guess yes) Would it need a new display? (I guess no) Would it still be OK without...

I've just noticed that updates to threads in 'General Chat' are not showing up when I use one of the 'New Posts' buttons (or https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/whats-new/posts) Is there something I've missed in my settings, or a website bug, or some intentional filter?

Just been for a very pleasant pootle on the small roads around Winchester. There were lots more cars than usual; on roads we usually just see one or two (or none) there were ten or more; and on slightly busier (still very minor) roads there were mini-streams of cars. I guess it's the sudden...

I'm having trouble with my Bosch Rack Battery lock. I can't remove the key when it is in the locked position. It was always a bit troublesome but now seems irrecoverably so. (The whole mounting rail setup is badly designed so its easy to get the battery in and working but not properly seated...

I have suggested Bosch range assistant on several thread as a very useful (thought far from perfect) tool for estimating range on Bosch and non-Bosch bikes. https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/service/range-assistant/ One issue raised (below) was the fact you can't put in your power; to which I had...

Generally front wheel drive isn't ideal, partly because of risk of slipping on hills. I have remarked before that this is different on a tandem where weight distribution is different, and you gain the advantage in some slippy conditions of two wheel drive (front motor, rear rider effort). I...

Does anybody have any recommendations (or the opposite) for suitable chain for Raleigh Motus. Bosch drive and Nexus 7 hub? I was thinking most likely the KMC Z1eHX Wide Silver (http://www.kmcchain.eu/chain-KMC_Z1eHX_Wide_Silver-e_bike-wide) for £11.99 on ebay...

Not sure if this is the right place for comments on the web site ... I thought there was a dedicated forum but can't find it. The new posts page (https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/whats-new/posts) does not refresh correctly, which is irritating. This is because when you call it it updates the...

Can anyone tell me how to reset the trip distance on a KM529, please? I can't find it anywhere in the manual. I've tried various things to no avail.

Nothing that will come as any surprise to regular Pedelecs members, but a well written short guide on the CTC (sorry, Cycling UK) site. https://www.cyclinguk.org/article/guide-e-bike-batteries

We have a Raleigh Motus hub (2016) we bought 2nd hand. It has horizontal rear dropouts, and I have had difficultly stopping the rear wheel getting skewed with the right chain side being pushed forward. We are not hard pedlars, so no undue pressure. When we bough the bike the left hand A/R...

Is the Bosch system really stupid enough that I need to go to a service agent to find the number of recharge cycles on a battery? I hope not, but can't see how to find it on the Intuvia display. If so, is this because of bad design or cynical lock-in?

We are thinking of a new electric bike for when we are going out separately, so it should fit both of us (5'5" and 5'10"). We have the tandem when we are together. We knew we wanted a ladies frame for easy mounting but after trying the ladies Crossfire and Crossfuse at Halfords we realised...

Our tandem conversion has been a great success, thanks all at Woosh. I will want to buy an electric bike for myself some time, maybe soonish, maybe not so soon, but starting thinking about it. This won't be a conversion as I know that very soon I will want a step-through rather than crossbar...

I and all the family have been riding Marathon Plus for many years, including off-road, thorns etc, with just 2 punctures for my son and none for the rest of us over all that time. We have just electrified our tandem with the Woosh XF07 front hub kit. We knew it was a bit less powerful than...
