    Nano Brompton - Bosch battery not charging. What to do?

    My Brommie was converted just over 3 years ago. Still on the original Bosch 4 amp-hr battery, though had to get a new charger in January after the original died. All went well till last week. I'd run the battery down to the flashing red light level. Putting it on the charger, that also gave a...

    Attaching lighting set to main battery on a Big Bear

    Got a second hand Woosh Big Bear through these columns a couple of years ago. Rode it round for a bit and great fun it was too. After a few repairs were needed anyway, decided to take it off the road in order to turn it into a more practical machine for me. All of that (north road bars, frame...

    Will a 36V Panasonic motor fit a Kalkhoff built to take the '24V' ones?

    Just musing at the moment, I don't have any plans to actually do this! I don't mean the Impulse motors, what I mean is on German e-bay there is, for example, this http://www.ebay.de/itm/Panasonic-Pedelec-E-Bike-Mittelmotor-Freilauf-350Watt-36V-NUA035HB-/321925212523 which I didn't even know...

    Another Alien Aurora on E-Bay

    Now that jd1's Aurora has been successfully sold, perhaps members might like to know of another. The vendor is selling it as 'new other'. He's already tried the 'Buy it Now' route but had no takers. It's now been re-listed as an Auction, starting at £100.The problem was he didn't title the...

    Swapping hydraulic lines over

    On my second Pro Connect Disc, the brake hoses are the wrong way round for me. The brakes squeal horribly and don't work terribly well, so they need an overhaul (thorough clean with isopropyl alcohol, new pads and a bleed) anyway, so I might as well swop the hoses over first. I appreciate...

    2010 Pro Connect S on E-Bay

    Spotted this today: KALKHOFF PRO CONNECT S 2010 E- BIKE on eBay (end time 13-Mar-10 03:33:58 GMT) Only a day to go and still no bids - so someone could get a bargain, way below list and no dire warnings or funny bits of paper to sign to say you'll only use it on private land. On the...

    Using 11-tooth motor sprocket on an Agattu

    Some of you may remember my asking in the thread "Replacement Giant Lafree motor sprockets" whether they can be used on the later Panasonic motors. Flecc was kind enough to reply that they can't but went on to say that Panasonic do an 11t as well as the standard 9t motor sprocket. It turns...

    Better Dynamo Headlamp for Agattu

    My Agattu's headlamp has had an unfortunate accident :( and, while it sort-of works again, it really does need to be replaced. I'm not keen to replace it with the standard B&M for 2 reasons i) someone's review said that it's quite adequete in town but isn't really good enough in the dark...

    A refusal often offends

    I rode last night from Northolt, where I live, to meet some friends at The White Horse, now the only pub at Hedgerley, a charming Bucks village just north of Slough. My current bike is a 905e, modded to throttle use only, with the 10 amp/hr battery. Good for the 13 miles there but I think the...
