Our Bosch 400wh battery is showing signs deterioration. Maybe not unreasonable after 8 years (we got the bike 2nd hand about 2 years old about 6 years ago), around 6000 miles. Hard to tell, I'd say it was down to somewhere around 60%. Once deterioration starts to be significant is there likely...

Slight surprise the other day. We've had our 2016 Motus (Bosch) for well over 5 years, it was about 2 when we got it so 7 now. Very happy apart from a few niggles. In all that time we hadn't let it run down to where the remaining range was being reported below about 5 miles. I'd guessed that...

Reposted from https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=159360 because I thought it would be of interest. "Yamaha Motor announced that it has established ENYRING GmbH as a new company that will offer swappable batteries for compact urban electric vehicles via subscription-based services."...

I'll probably need to replace the Hailong battery that came with our Woosh XF07 kit some time fairly soon; still OK but certainly not got the capacity it used to. It is a 13Ah battery, I'd probably replace with something larger. I can see there are at least 3 kinds of HL batteries, with the...

The 5 year old Woosh XF07 wheel on the front of our tandem stopped being as true as it should be, and when I went to true it I found two broken spokes. (Very neglectful of me not to have kept more careful track of spokes all along.) Oddly they weren't broken at the J curve, but at the point a...

Does anyone know anything about QWIC? Just guessing, they seem to provide reasonable quality generic Chinese Dutch style ebikes? I am looking for a friend who is determined she wants hub gears which considerably reduces the choice. 12 mile each way commute, not very hilly but certainly not...

I've got a problem on our tandem with my nice old Brooks as the front saddle. The nose of the saddle keeps catching my back trouser pocket as we mount and get started. Happens with almost all my trousers. I think the solution is to arrange something so the nose of the saddle is rounded...

Cycling UK have just added various pages on ebikes (or their email has just made me aware of them). https://www.cyclinguk.org/cycling-advice/type-cycling/e-bikes I haven't read through any of it yet.

We have a Woosh XF07 kit on our current Viking tandem (700C) and have been very pleased with it; just 3 years old this month. Slightly underpowered (as we were warned before we bought it); on steeper hills we tend to slow down and the motor can't help too much at slow speeds (around 5-6mph) even...

My son has our tandem at the moment, and has told me that the battery charger has just started causing his mains power to trip. It is a standard 42v 2a charger as supplied by Woosh with our XF07 kit about 2 1/2 years ago. I haven't seen this myself yet, I'll be getting it back tomorrow and will...

I have a few questions on the Brompton ebike and its sensor/control mechanism. A friend bought one a week or so ago; his wife's happy but he isn't so happy. (They had thought of buying a pair). His main issue is he says it takes two pedal turns before the assist really kicks in; that seems high...

We've had a (2nd hand) Motus for a bit over a couple of years, and never explicitly turned the battery on or off. I just noticed in the Intuvia manual it says to turn off the battery as well as the display: With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off button on the eBike battery (bicycle...

I'm copying the end of a thread from Cycling UK forum: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/posting.php?mode=quote&f=55&p=1512010 I think there are more people here who can comment on power ratings and why/if there is justification for scooters to have higher power ratings than e-bikes. Interesting, I...

What are the implications of changing a 36v XF07 to 48v? (standard Woosh XF07 kit with Lishui 17a controller). Clearly a new battery is needed. Would it need a new battery mount? Would it need a new controller? (I guess yes) Would it need a new display? (I guess no) Would it still be OK without...

I've just noticed that updates to threads in 'General Chat' are not showing up when I use one of the 'New Posts' buttons (or https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/whats-new/posts) Is there something I've missed in my settings, or a website bug, or some intentional filter?

Just been for a very pleasant pootle on the small roads around Winchester. There were lots more cars than usual; on roads we usually just see one or two (or none) there were ten or more; and on slightly busier (still very minor) roads there were mini-streams of cars. I guess it's the sudden...
