I am in the process of transferring my Bafang BBS01 motor from one bike to a new one. I have installed the motor and started wiring up it but have struck a problem similar to what teslanv reported in this video ... I am getting a crackling sound coming from the motor, the battery indicator...

Hi I am thinking of converting a road bike (currently riding a recumbent with e-assist) and I note that most conversions that are of road bikes are of flat bar bikes and conversions of drop-bar bikes seem few and far between. I am curious as to why flat-bar bikes seem to be more popular. I am...

It seems that the demand in Australia for e-bikes is such that Bicycling Australia is willing to buck the trend in print publishing and bring out a dedicated e-bike magazine. All the best to them with the publication. Further details for those interested at eBikesReview.com.au Andrew

Hi I have a couple of small issues with my Bafang BBS01 36V with the C961. (1) The battery level shows full irrespective of the level of charge. For example I have ridden 57 kilometres since the first charge yet the display is still showing a full battery. Either I am getting amazing battery...

I have one of those I guess they would be described as basic crimping tools, a wire stripper/crimp tool combo that sells for a few pesos. Something along the lines of this type but not even as fancy as this: Anyway what I have is not the greatest tool and reading the How to Make A Quality...

I had hoped to run a Busch & Muller Lumotec IQ2 179B on my bike but it has been pointed out to me that it required a 6V AC power source and of course the current from a e-bike battery is DC and hence my DC to DC converter is not going to do the trick. I have done a bit of search without luck...

European (Australia) and US specifications ... look like quite neat designs. Andrew

Skylock works with a custom app on iOS and Android mobile devices, via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. That app lets users disengage the lock by pressing an on-screen button, so no physical key is necessary. They can also grant access to friends who wish to borrow their bike, allowing their app-running...

Resembling something brawnier than a scooter yet not quite a chopper motorcycle, the Beast cuts something of an unusual figure. Inverted suspension forks hold the first of the 10-inch alloy rims and bear a 4,500 lumen LED headlight on the front. The alloy frame sits atop two 19.7-inch off-road...

This Easy Racer Gold Rush belongs to Bill Bushnell. You can read about his bikes and rides on his website. One recent ride was 284 kilometres on this bike. Pretty impressive build. Andrew
