    Trying to choose the right bike

    Pic was here; http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/6913-new-x-6-powerbyke.html?highlight=frank#post87687 P.S, my 6Ah Powabyke battery did a similar trip OK with just charging at work for nearly 2 years before the battery was stolen... J13

    Trying to choose the right bike

    I think the X24 comes in a 21" frame, I ride an X6, it certainly sounds like it would fit the bill for you, thou I'd consider charging at both ends to try to preserve battery life. The front wheel drive has never been a problem for me, and they certainly love hills. FCuran posted a pic of the...

    Ping Battery - how to avoid charger mishaps?

    Hi all, I have my new Ping Battery for my Powabyke X6. I built a nice little box for it and the box lives in a handy bag I allready had. Battery is great so far (early days thou'). A problem I have is, unlike my old PowaByke battery the Ping has seperate Charger and Discharge...

    Powerbyke 6 Ls Reviews???

    Thats the ladies version of mine - I've really enjoyed riding mine, never had a problem turning... Currently riding an old Izip where the motor and battery are on the rear - I find this much harder to move around (whils not riding). I prefer the X-Byke where the weight is spread more evenly -...

    Waterproof case for Ping Battery

    To get my powabyke X6 back on the road I've opted for a 10AHr 36V Ping battery rather than the 6AHr standard 'waterbottle/rocket launcher' powerbyke issue. Im expecting to mount it on the back rack, I see from the forums that I'll need to build a case for it, fit a fuse and a switch...

    Stolen battery

    Think the online reporting only works for the Met Police - but I will report it via the phone - I might even be able to claim on the house Insurance. I'm certainy not looking foward to paying £300 for a new one - I might get in touch with Mr Ping - I was never that happy with the position of the...

    Stolen battery

    Hmm - got up this morning to find the barrery from my Powabyke X6 had been nicked from my back garden - someone had lifted a fence panel and got in from next door! Nothing else missing - bike was locked. First thing that strikes me - what an odd thing to nick! I know they come off quite easy...

    Bike weight does it matter

    Very Interesting Suspension/weight threads. I have recently acquired an old IZIP Trailz AL to go with my Powabyke X6. I have broken two hubs on the Powarbyke Road bike - the roads are that bad around here! The IZIP has MTB tyres and front suspension - I'm unconvinced about the front forks -...
