Hi all,
I've just noticed yosepower are selling the Phylion sf-06 11.6ah battery with charger and mount for about £240 delivered, looks identical to that used on the Crossfire-e and Vulcan models (not the very latest model).

Looks like a great deal for anybody with an older Crossfire/Vulcan which still works. ;)
Lol,
4.5k miles, daily driver, in all weathers, never let me down (apart from the odd snapped spoke)

If your spokes are snapping get the rim rebuilt with Sapim strongs or re - tensioned, done properly they shouldn't snap.

Yep, I got a quote for having the motor hub rebuilt with a strong ebike suitable rim (angled eyelets) and sapim strong spokes from a wheel builder who had experience with ebikes, might do this in the future. In the meantime have got it down to about 20-30 mins without having to take the wheel off. Replace with Sapim strong spokes, none of those have since snapped (i put a small bit of insulating tape around the spoke to show it's been swapped)

I use normal bike rims without to much issue, eyelets are a good option.
I did have one cheap rim where the nipple pulled through.

I think I need a trip to Specsavers: I read that as I use normal bike without rims

Has anyone actually purchased this Yose Power battery and confirmed it's compatibility with the older Crossfire?
