Saw an article in New Scientist about the UltraBattery. HYBRID-electric vehicles (HEVs) could become cheaper thanks to a breakthrough that would allow inexpensive lead-acid batteries to replace the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries they now use. Lead-acid batteries are cheap and can store...

Hello all I've just bought one of these on ebay: Item # 300166787182 It seems to be the same as my existing controller so it'll be great to have a backup. Only £20 as well! There are other ebike parts available if anyone is interested. Paul

Hello all Now that I am the proud owner of a 36V Nimh battery I have a question. I'm using the battery with a controller that has a low-voltage cutout of 20.8V (since it's for a 24V kit). Obviously if I ran the 36V battery that low it would be ruined. Indeed 30V is the absolute minimum to...

I have just recieved my shiny new 9Ah 36V Nimh battery and charger from 50cycles. :) I believe a delivery came in Friday so if anyone is interested get in quick and bag one.

Hello all I'm selling my powacycle windsor 24 Volt 8 Amp Hour Nimh battery pack and charger. I purchased them from powacycle at the beginning of May this year, so they are less than 5 months old. I estimate it has 30-40 charge cycles on it. It's still retaining full capacity (I have not...

Hello all I've just seen this new kit for sale. Electric Bike Sales - Shop Online for Electric Bikes, Electric Vehicles and Cycle Accessories - 250 Watt Electric Bike Conversion Kit Looks quite neat, 4.5kg total weight. Is that the nano motor by any chance? 10 Amp hour lipo as well! If you...

Hello all I have a Currie Electrodrive kit for sale. It's got the 8Ah 24V Nimh battery so is considerably less heavy than the SLA version. Very good hill climber. 18mph max speed. Great kit. I've had the kit 1 month (the kit is I believe approx 1 year old) and have found it very good...

Hello all I have been lucky enough to pick up a bargain on ebay - a currie electro-drive kit with 24V 9Ah Nimh battery (for £100 too! :D ). As I already have an 8Ah 24V powacycle battery and charger I am hoping to be able to keep one charger at work and one at home and use each to charge...

Just been out for a ride this evening and on my return I put the 24V Nimh battery on charge and the red light just kept flashing rapidly. Usually it flashes fairly fast about 10 times and then there is a click and it stays on permanently until the battery is charged and it goes green. I...

Hello all As you may know I've been running my 24V kit at 36V using a booster 12V SLA for testing purposes. I need a more permanent solution now and thus am looking for a 36V battery and charger. I would prefer Nimh but will consider lithium if necessary. I'm looking for 10Ah if I can get...

Hello all Maybe some of you have found it already but there's a lot of interesting ebike stuff on the endless sphere forum. Endless-sphere.com :: Index Many of the people posting there came from the old visforvoltage forum which got hacked some time ago. I've been lurking there for some...

Hello everyone, I have quite suddenly experienced a large increase in drag from the motor while pedalling without power. The drag is really bad at lower speeds but is hardly noticeable past 15 mph. It seems like I'm riding with the brakes on at speeds from 8 mph to 13 mph. I hadn't used the...

Hello Carl I'm considering purchasing a 24V Nimh battery and charger from PowaCycle. I see from your website that the 24V 8Ah pack is £99. I couldn't find a price for the charger. Can you give me a price on the charger please? Also I am intending to use the pack on my 24V 350W hub motor...

Hello all I've noticed that my battery has been giving lower and lower readings when fully charged. This has happened over the last dozen or so charges. Battery is a 24V 6.8Ah li-ion. It used to read 29V straight of the charger. After a few charge cycles it read 28.7V and now is down to...

I've been offered £50 off a spare li-ion battery pack from the place I bought my hub motor kit. The price is £150 for a 6.8Ah li-ion pack. The shop had phoned me to check how things were going with my replacement pack (many of you will be aware of what happened to my first battery pack). One...

Hello all I've found that the price of the Nimh packs from batteryspace.com have rocketed in price recently. I was alerted to this on the yahoo power assist group. Opinion (wild rumour) there is that there is a shortage of nickel or some sort of supply chain problem with nimh batteries...

Hello all Before testing and (probably) buying a Torq, I've still got a few doubts. I've been doing some research and I wonder does anyone have any opinions on the nano-motor? So far, I can see the following plus points: 1) It's a kit so I can keep my existing nice marin which I am keen to...

Hello all Can anyone tell me why my electric bike seems so slow? It can do 15mph comfortably and I know from timing my local routes that I get there much faster and much less sweaty than on my 27 speed MTB with slick tires. Why then does it not feel fast? For example, I know that when I...
