Hi I still have a dead e-bike (after several months now). Partly due to no time, work and my first child(!) and secondly because it is my first e-bike set up and I'm still trying to work it all out! To re-iterate I have a Xiongda 2 speed motor, a Lishui 48v controller and C600 LCD. It was all...

Hi Has anyone got any experience of these motors: http://www.elifebike.com/peng/iview.asp?KeyID=dtpic-2011-1G-KSU5.3DNYT Seems like what i might be after. I currently have xiongda 350W 2 speed rear hub, Any idea how this would compare on my London commute? Cheers

Hi Anyone used this before? http://www.cobox-ebikes.com/290/wireless-bluetooth-cobox-watt-meter-36v-48v.html Looks very interesting indeed. Anything else like this on the market that i may not have come across? Cheers

Hi I bought a xiongda motor a few months back and after 750km it has stopped working. I am trying to determin why with Bonnie at Alibaba but currently getting pretty poor explanations from her as to how to open the motor as this is the next thing she has asked me to do. So far we seem to have...

Hi I have an old 12v 120ah deep cycle battery that has not been used in ages (over a year). Is it likely dead if currently at low voltage? Cheers.

Hi Is there a way to piggy bank 2 battery packs to help increase capacity and therefore journey lengths between charges? I have an eclipse 48v 11.6ah battery, 13 series 4 parallel. I was wondering if i could get say an extra 4-8 parallel pack and use ec3 splitters if necessary (?) To add...

Hi Im having trouble finding a workable position for a magnet/reed switch braoe sensor for my hydraulic brakes so am looking at a diy option. Just looking at fitting a small micro switch. Would it be a push-to-make or push-to-break switch that is needed? Cheers

Hi guys So im struggling to find much info on the subject heading. What are the options for us that want to have a permanent wired tail light that runs off our 48v bike battery? Anyone have any knowledge? Can't seem to find many options at all. Cheers.

Hi guys So i have finally got the frame i want for my build, an old skool steel dmr trailstar. Lovely frame and freshly powder coated however i thought it was a 27.2mm seat tube so bought myself a new swanky sr suntour ncx suspension seat post. To my annoyance it arrived and i quickly realised...

hi anyone know anything about this hub motor? seems pretty brand x but the only 2000w 48v motor i can find that looks priced within my range. http://freegopower.en.alibaba.com/product/60093936440-212950757/48V_2000W_electric_bike_motor_kits_ebike_conversion_kit.html cheers.

Is there a 5v output from a 48v controller? I have a 5v usb front light that i currently plug into the usb port of my battery (from eclipse bikes). It works but is a bit clumbersome as it means the cable is sticking out the side of the battery. I'm hoping there is a 5v feed that i can tap...

Does anyone have a list of what the error codes mean on the xiongda 2 speed motor? Just finished pouring my bike together after many months. Super excited went to ride it. The motor kicked in for a second or 2 then error 6 comes up on the lcd and the engine cuts out. Any ideas?

Hi So my ebike is getting dangerously close to being ready! But i have come up against one last big hurdle. I am using a small jump bike frame as seen in the pic so it did not have bottle cage mounts. I fitted 3 rivnuts on the down tube for mounting. I knew it was going to be a tight fit...

I recently bought a 48v 11.6ah battery from eclipse bikes. The first time i wired things up temporarily today to test and no matter whether the power button on the side of the battery is depressed or not the blue light stays on. surely this is not right.....?

Hi Is it safe to fit a controller inside an airtight/watertight IP65 case? I am looking at then riv-nutting this case to my seat post. This way it can not be stolen and is 100% waterproof. My only concern is whether the controller needs to breathe or gives off a lot of heat. Any advice...

Hi anyone have any experience of these: http://eclipsebikes.com/cyclone-ebike-twist-throttle-p-985.html They look ideal for me as they are small (not full grip width twist), have battery led indicator and also an on/off switch for the throttle (I will be using mostly pedal assist). I am...

Hi Guys I know this has been asked previously but it doesn't quite answer my questions (but quite possibly because I am not understanding correctly). I have the 48v 11.4ah eclipse bikes battery and am looking at charging this off a UPS system (uninterupted power supply). Their real use is for...

Anyone had experience of these? http://flykly.com/smart-wheel looks interesting. 6ah, 3kg, looks great.

Hi I am just starting to build up an electric bike and was wondering what tyre width you guys are using. Especially interested in London commuters using e-bikes or those who have as bad a road surface as us! I use 23mm wide Road tyres on my current hybrid push bike bit. I have recently moved...
