EWC emailed me to say that they now have Nano kits in stock. They had been waiting for 36 hole rims. Interestingly they got round the problem by sourcing the Tongxin TXM-F80 - 36v, 260RPM motor with 28 holes :eek: I didn't even know these existed unless they got Tongxin to make them up...

Hi all, Meant to post this. In my search for a 80mm Tongxin motor I found and contacted this seller who appears to have some 100mm ones in stock if anyone is interested :p Google Translate Their Tonxin kit is at the bottom of the page but in my email exchanges they were willing to sell me...

I think Frank is coming back on line after his move to China. Der Umbausatz I notice some of his pages have been updated including contact and technical details. Worryingly the Tongxin stuff seems to be being removed :eek: He was kinda my last hope for getting one for my Brompton when it...

Well its been a few years since I stripped down and cleaned a bike. Things have moved on in terms of de-greasers :p Magic Spray I set to work yesterday on my Cytronex 7300 FX which I purchased s/h is about 18 months old with 1600 miles on the clock. The crank, gears and chain were pretty...

Did a search on here for these and there is not a lot about stands. Anyway I found one of these from Tesco Direct. Not bad at £74.99 incl discount code for epurchase. You can also get free delivery if you have it delivered to you local store :p It looks sturdy and actually seems to have...

Alienocean 36v 26" front hub kit + Li-Ion battery - SOLD Well as I have purchased a dedicated ebike I am kinda thinking about selling this. I initially thought I would sell it on ebay but thought perhaps I would see if there was any interest here first. Its a road legal AlienOcean bike kit...

Its official, my kit ebike and this forum have me hooked on ebikes :eek: I have just ended up buying a Cytronex Trek 7300 second hand for about half the cost of their new Claud Butler one. Its 18 months old, covered 1600 miles so I guess one of the first ones. I had been looking at another...

A while back I started a thread on Schwalbe Big Apples that I have fitted to my DIY ebike. Well I have ended up having to put the original tyre back on my hub wheel. At the time I was a little concerned that the fluresent strip was not even all the way round the rim where the trye bead sunk...

Been having a look round for a lighter setup using a Tongxin motor. My daily commute is only 10 miles return. The new NiMh Sub C batteries go up to 4600mAh now. (edit just found some 5000mAh ones). Quite high discharge rates of 30amps as well. What "actual" voltage is required to power a 36v...

Anyone going to the Cycle Show ? Looks like an interesting exibitor list. Jerry

Still thinking about my next ebike project :p I was considering building a much lighter set up. This would be based on simple fixed wheel 700c original bike weighing just over 10kgs. By dropping down to 24volt I could use a lighter 24volt 10ah battery which would only wiegh 2.3kgs. I might be...

Ok I give up :confused: What are the wheel nut sizes on my Suzhou Bafang SWXB electric hub wheel ? The flat is 10mm, the thread thickness is 11.92mm but a 12mm nut don't fit. I have tried Halfords, another specialist bike shop and a dedicated tool shop. No luck. The tool shop found an...

Details in posts below.

I thought I better do a different post as this is not really part of my first MTB ebike conversion. I have been advised here to look at Schwalbe Big Apple's especially with their built in suspension which is kinda what I wanted without putting on suspecsion forks. However when I phoned around...

First e-bike - MTB front wheel conversion Well after recently trying to get a little fitter and riding my bike in the evenings I wanted to ride to work every day but its a good 30-40 min ride for me being pretty unfit. I needed soemthing to give me assistance on the short 4-5 mile journey...
