I would dearly like to upgrade my front brake to hydraulic disk. but my forks do not have the suitable mount, and are swept to position the front wheel away from the obstruction of the main frame. Google has presented me with a cheap fork replacement, but the sweep looks less pronounced than...

Has anyone experience with any 3rd party centre stands suitable for fitting to a standard cycle with a rear hub motor? Im considering one to aid in post shopping loading of the bikes bags and boxes, the shift in centre of gravity when loading up the bike upsets the stability of the side stand...

Lost the chain changing gears for the 3rd time in as many weeks, hopefully its just a tweak of the gears but the 'top' gear has also started jumping which might just be down to the rear selector being out of line? anyway my hands go numb as soon as they cool down a bit, i cant feel a...

saw this and though of a few members in here @guerney

Not exactly e-bike related this one but then again its contributing to my peace of mind and therefore safety, so ??? My VT200 vape mod's battery died, its labelled 11.1v 1300mah 30c series high discharge fitted with an xt30 plug ,on removing its turning into a pillow/balloon. I can find 3...

I did what the title says.. and the brakes continue to rub a bit worse when pushing the bike backwards. its been well over a week now and 'usually' on changing brake blocks i get a wee rub for a day or two perhaps. but this is a continual rub and the brakes are not as tight as i would like...

I was tidying up the garage in prep for bin day and as i gathered up all the ali express bags and packages that have contributed to my garage fun of late i caught a glimpse of a customs declaration for an item i spent about £25 on inc vat etc.. and its declared value was a penny?? It didnt...

What would you suggest for a front mudguard for a MTB with basic sprung forks and no apparent mounting h/w? The intended terrain is muddy bridleways and tracks so wet legs are a given but i would like to avoid face spray as much as possible. An amazon search told me This time i am out of my...

Yet another motorist failed to see me and pulled out of a junction right in front of me this morning, and as usual i mustered a filthy look to throw at the driver as i swerved around the rear of the huge white vehicle while the driver sat shocked in the middle of the rd. . 10-20 minutes later...

I think its a good idea to have all my batteries using the same connection type, Currently im using both slotted bars connectors and gold pin connectors, with the modification of one battery and sled I can have all 3 using the same connector type. Providing me with spare/battery swap...

I screwed up , again, I finally received a set of 36 spokes and nipples (no spares) for the wheel i need to re-spoke. Rather than kill a perfectly good wheel for its rim i decided to try and remove the wobble in the damaged wheel. On fitting the new spokes i first noticed how damaged the...

I had to wrestle the bike out of the rack at the supermarket after a later arrival parked a bit close, and in doing so i knocked the cable/hub nut against something on its way out. Attempting to pull away under battery power once loaded resulted in the motor cutting off after an initial burst...

About a day after first installing my hub kit I was chatting with a chap over on pedelec.de who suggested a new controller would be a good idea and i bought one.. well it turns out my bike performs just fine and after an initial pas hicup (wrong sensor type for my bike) I cant fault it beyond a...

Im looking to buy a 48v 15ah battery, hailong style with flat blade connectors. Any reasons not to consider the Yose power option at £233?? I fitted a Yose-power kit and am very happy with it for the most part and my gripes have little to do with the kit battery or its performance.. but...

Not a feature supported by the controller i intend to use a but i would like to implement an ignition style on/off switch. But i somehow suspect such a thing as pictured above would not hold out very long turning on and off the battery power. I have googled for 'ebike contactor circuit'...

I have a hub motor in a wheel with many missing and broken spokes. those that remain are seized to their nipples. so i need to re-lace the wheel. the wheel rim is not round its got a little wobble in it but i think it should be correctable? i have sized my spokes by length and received a new...

After my first posts and pics of my bike some wise members advised me to consider pannier carriers for the rear rather than the higher centre of gravity black plastic box currently fitted. So when i was presented with a special offer from an aliexpress seller I had to bite, and they finally...

On dismantling a non working ebike, i noticed the cores within the power wires in the julet? terminated 9pin socket for connection to the hub motor were Steel? then on looking closer at the no-name controller installed its power wires were a telltale red of aluminium, My kit installed on my...

Controller headsets appear to be the weak link in many setups suffering damage from knocks and scrapes and dying as soon as any rain seeps inside. So are they really necessary all the time? How do the controller and headset work together, is the headset a dumb terminal when configuring the...
