New cube bike, Bosch performance line motor, 200 miles so far. Cycling to work this morning came to a stop ( for traffic lights) on the last hill before work and dropped down 2 gears from top gear. I was in turbo mode as I needed to get to work really fast and the extra booist away from the...

Having ridden 60+ miles so far on my new bike, I've started to clean it following the beautiful instructions laid out by EddiePJ. Unfortunately I've had 2 hiccups: 1) can't get the front wheel back on, never had disc brakes before and they've closed up ( I might have squeezed the lever by...

Anyone using a garmin edge as a sat Navy on their bike? Specifically is anyone using an edge 810 and are they any good for off road cycling? I was looking at trying to see where I might go for rides locally off road and I thought a satnav would be safer to help me find the correct routes. I'm...

New bike on the way. Seat post diameter is 30.9. I have a Suntour NCX of size 27.2. Very happy with that seat post. The question is, do I shim the ncx using a Cane Creek shim directly between sizes to fit the bike, or stick with a non suspension seat post until I can afford a cane creek...

My aluminium frame broke recently and I don't fancy doing a conversion on another bike after that. ( I think it was a poorly chosen donor bike that caused this) Up for sale: 1) Juice bike conversion kit, 18 months old, 700c wheel on hub (hub only in this new wheel 1 month after a professional...

does anyone have a small GPS tracker fitted to their bike so that they can find it in the event it is stolen and can anyone recommend one? Thanks James

Having spent the last few days looking at what I want from a bike to replace the one that snapped, and found this pannier rack http://www.cyclesurgery.com/pws/Uni...gclid=CNb19JqyycYCFe7KtAodZ3oHLw&gclsrc=aw.ds to allow me to use my panniers on an MTB, I am increasingly being drawn to the Cube...

Yesterday on the way home, my converted Raleigh Venture (with no suspension) decided to become a folding bike as I was crossing the dual carriageway! The frame snapped in clean off at 2 point near the head set tube. Luckily I was crossing the road from a standing start and only going a maximum...

I'm coming to the conclusion that at least 90% of the reliability issues that I am suffering from with my conversion kit are due to the fact that the battery is a frog mount one. I always cycle to work with panniers and my bike frame is aluminium so I'm trying to work out a more reliable way of...

been having and intermittent power issue for a while now. Have always been able to put it down to the battery contacts opening up over time and not making proper contact with the prongs. The fix is to open the battery and re-adjust the contacts so they make properly again. Started experiencing...

Wondering about a dynamo on my ebike 3 reasons: 1) sort of a backup for if the battery runs out or is not fitted 2) means I don't mess with the electrics of my conversion kit while it is still in warrantee. 3) the fun of tinkering? should make it electrically more simple I think in the...

I didn't introduce myself before as I was wrestling with issues of my kit but now they seem to be under control I feel happier and more confident about introducing myself. AA style: Hi my name is James. I'm 33 and live near Royston (near Cambridge). I have had an electric bike since Feb 2014...

Battery 36V 10mAh frog cased battery. Should be under warrantee but kit supplier has voided warrantee for very dodgy reasons. (case broke - lug at the back snapped off after 5 months of use) and kit supplier says "The break to the base of the battery was caused by riding over pot-holed and...

I'm looking for a rear hub motor to fit on my Mezzo (16" wheels). Not looking to spend a fortune on this as I already have a good electric bike and the folder only rarely comes out. I'm happy to use my existing battery and rig up a system that allows me to move my 36V10Ah battery and if...

Experienced first frost today on my evoke without the battery fitted (sorting out a problem at the moment) and took a tumble on the way to work. Black ice on the cycle path and 12kg in my rear panniers span me out and I did a beautiful slide for 5m. Currently have schwalbe marathon plus on...

I'm looking at converting my folder (16" wheels) Mezzo D9 if I can get the right motor at the right price. See that the GBK-100R , BMS Battery Q100 and Cute 100 have been recommended in the past. Does anyone have any experience of the GBK-100R or any info on the dimensions? I was leaning...

looking at the current regulations: https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules It would seem that any conversion kit that is sold without "a plate showing the manufacturer, the nominal voltage of the battery, and the motor’s power output" to attach to the bike renders the kit illegal instantly as...

Ok this is a dangerous question for an unskilled person to be asking, but I will ask it anyway on the understanding that I will wait to learn more before I act on this info... It is food for thought for the next 9 months. Can a battery, say 36V 10AH be taken to a greater voltage capacity in...

Could someone please explain the difference between the different types of controller and the advantages/reasons for using a specific type. Also is the controller type matched to the motor type by anything other than size? (I have been looking at the BMS Battery website that keeps being...
