    Folding bike - Kudos Secret vs Woosh Zephyr CD vs Other?

    I think it's because of the 10% incline through 1.5 miles he has. Another option is to get a cheap bike to park next to the train station. See my project: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/street-parking-commuter-set-up.17845/

    What about the pacific if mode? http://www.pacific-cycles.com/product3.asp?cat1=1&cat2=4&pid=48 A little bit overpriced. But fast and rolls once folded. So you won't break your back when the operator absolutely want to you carry your bike folded in the train? A cheaper option would be the...

    Battery Conditioning

    I think it does. I've tested various latest cells and the trends now seems to increase battery capacity and lower cycle life. Many new top notch cells are specified for 300 cycles to 70% capacity. Or 500 cycles at best. Amongst them you have the Panasonic NCR range, LG ICR range, INR type and...

    Battery Conditioning

    Flecc, I understood it would be to reset the battery meter? Still not good for battery but it has to be done! Like when I receive my battery new and I'm testing its capacity

    Battery Conditioning

    I keep reading to not discharge the battery over 80%, but the same goes for charging. Lithium batterie do not like being CLOSE to the maximum. So to have a long life battery, and much more than the ones in the specs, what you should do: - Do not charge over 4.1V/cell (increase by 15% battery...

    How to mount a top box on a bike?

    Hello there, I've been lurking for A WHILE for a decent BIG quick release box allowing me to put 10 kg battery on it. There are some 48V20AH aluminium battery case I can import from china but shipping cost an arm due to volumetric density, and it's not as big as I need anyway. I've found this...

    Ladies Dutch style bike.

    Hey Paul, Sorry I've been thinking again for my project. As I'll leave the bike overnight outside. And the whole day outside while I'm working (I'm not always allowed to bring my bike in the office). I'm going to start with the cheapest bike (below £50)...

    Metro A2B rear battery

    I'm interested by their battery configuration and bms set up. From what I've seen, it looks like they have the new battery charging at 4.3V/cell. (if these are the new Sanyo cells) They also have 8s6p configuration. Which means 34.4V fully charged at 4.3V/cell. (and 300 cycles :p) But that's...

    Metro A2B rear battery

    I'm testing some NCR18650A cells (3100mAH) and probably will buy few of them. If you need some I can send them to you. I think I can get them for maybe £3/cell shipped. It's cheap but these are disassembled cells (but tested to capacity) So you can replace the 48 cells with better cells for...
