    Hub motor

    Good advice. If the housing bolts are a bit stiff a gentle tap with a glass hammer will help. Or you can use a long weight instead. :p

    Glad to see

    They were my remarks Stix. And I don't remember being involved in the jocularity as you put it - so no need to take it back. They were direct comments on the input to this forum from wotwozere. I personally have found the majority of his comments either a) utter drivel, b) sarcastic rap (with...

    Oh I don't think so. I think he maybe has a future in Rap with a silent "c" at the front of it. The guy is a loon.

    chain link

    Park tools QKCT5 Mini Chain Brute Chain Tool This is the one I use and carry around with me all the time in my portable tool kit - it is an invaluable piece of kit. I didn't pay £14.99 for mine though - got it for £8 off ebay last year.

    Hopes for 20 mph assist limit dashed

    20mph would be a safer speed in your part of the country - based on what? 20mph assisted will only equate to a few mph faster going up a hill. A 60mph 4x4 is still going to be right on your tail desperate to overtake. By the way, my commute to work is 19 miles over quite a few hills in central...

    Torq with battery mod storms up hills

    What I can add to this is that I have a 24v 16ah Ping for my ebike bought last August and have completed just over 1000 miles with it. No drop in performance apart from really cold days (-5 or colder). It then drops about 20% capacity in the extreme cold. As an aside I have two 48v 20ah Ping...

    Hopes for 20 mph assist limit dashed

    Floodgate issue If the max. limit had been set at 20mph, then what next? Would people then be asking for a 25mph limit? This is well into moped territory where a licence, tax, insurance all apply. Even at 20mph assist I am not entirely convinced it is needed. By the way, the above...

    Agattu or Wisper?????

    Do you keep your e-bike

    E-bike in the garage, E-moped in the garage, all batteries and chargers in the garage too (children kept in the house....hmmm perhaps I should re-think this, vehicles in the house, kids in the garage??)

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    Okay flecc. I have re-read the threads and stumbled across the above gem. Using your - in my opinion - slightly skewed logic within the confines of this topic only, how can you possibly know that the non-helmet wearing posters haven't been killed or seriously brain-damaged. They wouldn't...

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    I think that was a bit OTT flecc. Based on years of experience and probably the damaged taken to the helmet I would suspect that the neurosurgeons weren't merely expressing just an opinion, and were in fact basing their statement on previous accidents over a number of years. That may still be...

    Ping Batteries in parallel query

    Li Ping's reply "You can connect them in parallel but please add diodes to avoid current between the packs. It's important. Or, one pack will be charged without the BMS's protection by the other pack. That will destroy the first pack. Best regards, Ping " So there you go. Exactly...

    Ping Batteries in parallel query

    I was concerned about the Cyclones reliability after I had bought it and then subsequently read your concerns about it and the fact that Russ had one and it didn't go to well. However, so far it seems to have worked out okay, albeit after some modifications. Once it has done 2000 trouble free...

    Ping Batteries in parallel query

    Hi flecc, Thanks for the reply. I bought a 500 watt motor, which I know is not legal in this country unfortunately. However, I genuinely haven't bought it to be a speed junkie, just to get decent help in headwinds and steep hills - which it of course it does really well. I haven't had a...

    Ping Batteries in parallel query

    Thanks Thank you flecc. I also spoke to my father today who is a retired electrical engineer, and he gave me pretty much identical advice to what you have already given me. I will contact Li Ping and see what his advice is too. I have removed the Alien kit from my Kinesis bike and replaced...
