    Faulty TBK-74AD 36V 250W Motor

    I have been given a TBK-74AD 36V 250W Motor wheel for a Brompton, it was faulty. Rather than rotate, it just stutters. Even if the motor is not fixable, I have a spare rim and spokes. I took the motor out of the hub and the fault seems clear, at the point the wires feed from the central black...

    Why is so much illegal 'commuting' not policed ?

    There has been comment in some recent threads that you can maybe ignore the legal restirictions on electric bikes because they are not policed, "plod is not interested" is a not unknown justification for ignoring the legal restrictions. Some posters even seem to advertise their illegal activity...

    Short, less than 60cm, 9 pin motor cable

    The conversion kit I recently bought for a Brompton came with a motor cable that was 110cm long. A shorter motor cable would be good. Shortest I can find is 60cm, but 30cm would be enough. So has anyone seen motor cables shorter than 60cm for sale ?

    eBrompton Build

    Why build an eBrompton ? The Brompton is a good bike for shopping or commuting and short range leisure trips. The neatness and compactness of the fold is a compelling advantage, you wont have trouble taking it on public transport or storing it in a corner etc. Fitted with a decent set of ‘easy’...

    Uncased eBike batteries, 36V 5Ahr to 10Ahr

    Is there a recommended UK supplier of the uncased type eBike battery, i.e just covered in heat shrink, 36V 5Ahr to 10Ahr ? Plenty of suppliers out in the far East but the capacities quoted are just plain silly, you can apparently get a 36V 20Ahr for £40 ! So a supplier that can be trusted is...
