Hi all, I have just clocked up 1000miles on my converted hardtail MTB and have noticed some changes with the battery and charger behaviour. Now, here's the tricky bit. I don't know what the battery chemistry or cell count is. I know the first piece of advice to be offered will be to tear the...

I've just finished re-building the e-bike ready for summer commuting. Part of the rebuild was an all new handlebar setup because I wanted stripped back, no clutter bars due to my old setup being very "busy". To achieve this I fitted new, wider bars with new grips and I removed the throttle...

Not been on the forum for a while but have been getting good use out of my converted e-bike over the summer and on the dry autumn/winter days, over 500miles on the clock now. Just the other day I did a 45mile ride and noticed some behaviour that I haven't previously. Whilst coasting down a VERY...

Well it's been about a month now since I completed my first ebike conversion and I've covered 250miles back and forth to work and I thought I'd share my experiences for those considering doing something similar. Fortunately the weather has been kind and it's mostly been T-shirt temperatures, in...

Hi all, I'd like to buy a second charger for my bike so I can keep one at work and one at home. I have a 60V 18Ah Li-ion battery and the 5A charger that came with it (pictured), this I think I'll keep at work for fast charging but I'd like a slower (overnight) charging solution for home - I'm...

Hi all, I had "00 info" come up briefly on my KT LCD3 today but can't find any info on it, the only codes I can find are 01-06. Does anyone know what 00 means? Info: I've had what feels like a slightly intermittent throttle for a few days but have been unsure if that's just me not holding it...

Hi all, Can anyone point me in the direction of a watt meter that I can use with my 16S battery that reads 67.2V fully charged. All the usual Turnigy types seem to be rated to 60V. Or, will the Turnigy actually cope with 67.2V? Cheers Edit: Another question - can an in-line watt meter be used...

I started the conversion of my Giant Talon 2.5 with a 60V kit this week. I'd already upgraded the front forks from the cheapo Suntours that were on it to Rockshox 30mm Gold RL's, which also allowed me to go up to a 180mm front disc. With the ebike kit fitted, I can't help thinking the forks look...

Hi all, I have ordered a 60V conversion kit which I believe uses a 16S Li-ion battery. I think the 60V is nominal 3.75V/cell, so fully charged would be 67.2V. Does this sound right? Problem is, it's taking a looooong time to arrive and I've been looking at alternatives on eBay, where I see...

OK so my conversion kit is inbound and I'll be fitting it to a Giant Talon 2.5 that I've had sitting practically unused since buying it new in 2010. The bike looks to be an ideal candidate, hardtail, high cross bar for frame mounted battery, hydraulic disk brakes and I've already converted it to...

Hi everyone, Just signed up having ordered my first e-bike conversion kit recently, I'm expecting to receive it in the next few days. I went for a conversion kit as I have a practically unused 2010 Giant Talon sat in the garage which should make an ideal candidate. I'm a seasoned mountain...
