Having wires all over the frame is not doing it for me so... I noticed that BMSB sells an empty "new" bottle battery case and also a sine wave controller for it. My thought is to gut my current battery case and put those internals in a case that goes in the holder with the sine wave controller...

A friend of mine bought a Decathlon "original 700" pedelec on summer sale for 699€ down from 999€ http://www.decathlon.co.uk/original-700-electric-bike-id_8328554.html and it won't climb our hills in town. He wants to go to his shop and back from his home 5 km away daily, with some beach...

http://www.hnf-heisenberg.com/index.php/heisenberg-design-xf1.html/ 8,345.00 € or ONLY 208 € per month! Is it just me or are things getting a little ridiculous?

I am up to about 300 km over the last couple of weeks and have developed some strange noises. So went looking for answers: 1. Spokes - I had three very loose spokes, now they are tightened less noise! 2. BB - when the bearing gets hot it moans and groans I knew that it wasn't going to last very...

First impressions of the kit after just over a week on the bike. I have just managed to empty the battery completely for the first time (I had to charge before it was empty the first time around because I had a trip to make). This is the Samsung cell 10.4 A bottle battery. I got about 75km (the...

Having waffled on for quite a bit on this forum I am finally in the stage of buying the kit! Photos and build details hopefully next week. Being a member of the working poor my budget is tight. I have spent slightly more than I can afford applying knowledge gained here on this forum and...

Hello another technical question. I used the Grin Tech spoke simulator to simulate spokes for a Bafang motor. Then I went looking for spokes online and only found spokes that are far too long. Do I have to buy long spokes and cut them and rethread them myself? Or is there a source for shorter...

In the course of converting my bike I took the cassette off to see what type of rear wheel to order. No problem, ready to take on the swap of old cassette to new wheel when I order it. My girlfriend's bike has a broken spoke so while on a roll I decided to take the casette off to see what kind...

I have a question about trike chains. Why is there only one chain which goes all the way from the front chainset to the rear cassete/hub? Couldn't one divide the chain in two with a couple of cogs mounted to an axle under the front of the seat? 1. OK there is loss of efficiency in the...

http://www.rennholz.com Imagine being pulled over by the law and booked because: no pedals and 400W electric drill! I love the idea of a wood chassis. Maybe a hint of CF here and there... Tony
