    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    Update:- Pedal sensor still not working but I have got the throttle to give full power using the P4 setting on KT LCD5. My riding style is to potter (8 to 12mph) without assistance until I need to ascend. I can now manage all the inclines I used to use but have been avoiding. Apologies if...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    My wife is never far from her iPhone &/or iPad. I just find IOS counterintuative. I'm not a technophobe. In the days of the Sinclair QL I used to write my own programs & be up half the night debugging. Over the years I've lost interest in the latest tech must haves. My laptops last me 8 -...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    It's the on screen keyboards. I hate them. Most of my contact is through laptop or desktop keyboards and texts on my big button phone. Now remembered I do still have a smartphone. A Motorola that I had to get when I bought a wireless speaker. Only way to get internet radio stations onto the...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    My family are all Apple nuts. I tried 2 iPhones. Arthritic hands & an old brain meant they went to a car boot sale. Big buttons rule!

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    My location is in my profile:- Chandler's Ford halfway between Winchester & Southampton. I think I'm going to bring the trike back home and with the assistance of this forum and either a recommended company or my neighbour ( he built me a micro wire welder ) get it to what I want. I will...

    Boxer Cargo Trike Pedal Sensor

    The pedal sensor was damaged when the chain came off due to rider error. A wire was broken on the receiver (I hope that's the correct term). I'm hopeless at anything practical so tried to find someone to repair it. None of those advertising ebike repairs would even look at it. Found a guy who...

    MiRider Bikes

    I have a GB3 on order but there is a delay. I spoke to staff on the MiRider stand at the NEC last month and they said they are waiting for gearbox parts. I had read about the GB3 and seen the mentioned video. When I took my trike to County eBikes, Andover for repair found they are MiRider...

    This company used to trade as Electric Bike World,54 Bedford Place, Southampton. When I went there a couple of years ago they had closed down. Enquiries revealed that they had stopped selling from the shop but appeared to be selling from an unknown premises with a local tel. no. (probably the...

Trike is tipping and I steer into kerb. Back end swings hard into the kerb as I come to a stop. Brake caliper bracket on frame cracked...

    Protect individual bike parts from theft

    Don't hold your breath :rolleyes: I will want to put them on everything. Problem is I am a complete numpty when it comes to fitting anything. The part of my brain that deals with how the position of parts/things relate to the position of other parts/things doesn't work. I will need to take my...

    Protect individual bike parts from theft

    Thanks for the link. Recently replaced a suspension seatpost and have been googling secure bolts to make it harder to steal. This is much simpler than the bolts I found.

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    I've been having a great laugh reading this. It's helping to make my 3 month isolation bearable. In my 30 years as a policeman I found that my common sense approach worked wonders. Most people just needed a bit of common sense advice. If that failed I used the powers necessary. I see in this...

    Police ebike checks.

    The 'walkydog' is a metal bar attached to the seat tube. I had an elastic lead, with a small amount of stretch, on the end of the bar. Only used for short distances and at a speed that the dog is 'trotting'. My dogs are trained to be off the lead nearly all of the time and ignore other dogs...
