    eZee frame failures

    Does anyone have any information about frame failures in some eZee bikes a few years ago? I have just discovered from reporting my frame number to Wai Won Ching that mine is one of the ones that should have been replaced by 50 Cycles, the distributors at that time, who did not honour their...

    Green Edge Blackstar 2 for sale.

    have decided to sell one of my e-bikes. It is the folder, a Green Edge Blackstar 2. I thought I would try it on here prior to using eBay, as it is a more informed readership! Basically, since getting my eZee Sprint, I have scarcely used it; the overall mileage to date is about 2,400. My...

    Pedal not peddle!

    OK, time for my regular rant; I don't think I've done it for a while, and I was trying to resist, but a head of steam builds up, and I have to say something. Not that it will do any good, but I like banging my head on the wall! The things we put our feet on on bikes are "pedals". The act of...

    New Ping battery

    I took delivery of my new Ping 20Ah battery yesterday - on exactly the day promised, after I had asked for a slightly deferred date because of a holiday. I was able to track online the parcel's progress from Shanghai to Hong Kong, to Dubai, to Koln, to Castle Donington, to Luton, to here. I did...

    Observing bikes in Amsterdam

    We have just got back from a trip to Amsterdam. Though I saw thousands upon thousands of bikes - they assail you from every direction; nowhere is a pedestrian safe from a potential impact - I only saw two electric bikes in four days. I suppose you just don't need the assistance in those level...

    Framelock for Sprint

    Does anybody know if an Axa Defender or an Abus 4850 framelock will fit on an Ezee Sprint? It looks to me as if the struts for the rear carrier might get in the way.

    Replacing battery on eZee Sprint

    I have just bought a secondhand eZee Sprint which is in overall pretty good condition. The only drawback is that the previous owner replaced the knackered battery with SLAs for economic reasons - but then, that's the reason I got the bike for a reasonable price! Although they work OK, I see...

    eZee Sprint questions

    I have just bought this bike second-hand. the seller reckoned it is about two years old, but I suspect it may be rather more. Can anyone roughly date it? It has a shiny silver finish, rather than the current matt. It has dynamo lighting rather than from the battery. It has a v-brake at the...

    Ciclo CM4-1 computer

    I have just bought a second-hand bike that came with a Ciclo CM4-1 computer, but no instructions for it. I think I have set up its basic functions correctly, but am not sure how to set up the wheel circumference and a few other things such as resetting the trip mileage. Does anyone have the...

    LBS strikes again -- and spokes query

    Having just passed the 2000-mile mark, I booked my bike into the nearest bike shop to have the brakes serviced. OK, I could have (and subsequently did) sort them out myself, but I thought I'd pay someone else to make all the fiddly little adjustments. I had some misgivings when the guy in the...

    Ping batteries

    Has anyone had any experience of getting Mr. Ping to custom-make a battery to fit in an existing battery case? I ask because, when the time comes to replace my present battery, it would seem more sensible to have one that could slot into the existing holder and use the existing connector, etc.

    Pedelec always on!

    Just recently, the pedelec function on my bike has taken to being (usually) on all the time, instead of being governed by pedal revolutions. Fortunately, I fitted an off switch in the pedelec circuit some time ago, so I can turn it right off (otherwise it really would be a problem!), and I...
