I have an order that should have been completed by the 16th and despatched. As my emails or not replied to I am forced to contact you on this forum. Your link to monitor progress of my kit has not been updated from day one. I have received no communications to inform me if it has been completed, or that it has been despatched. When will I receive my kit?

Hi Tazmantic, I'm trying to fix my son-in-law's Woosh Sirocco ebike as the display won't fire up; did you manage to work around your J-LCD problem earlier this year?

@save_the_orge Did you ever get around to fitting a motor - I have the same bike !

Always tinkering

I could sell you a 400 battery as I bought a new 500 which I now use on my bike. Very good order, charged every 2 months and rotated to use for a ride every 3 months. Open to offers, you arrange postage.

Hey, I see you rebuilt an Urban Mover battery a few years back. Did you get the control board to install back onto it? I'm a little concerned about rebuilding the battery and would love some tips from someone that has done it.

Hi Kevin, Good choice, worth sticking out for..I've had a Moscow (regular) 29" for about 2 years...just coming up to 10000 km. No issues other that wear and tear - chains, gear cables and a new cassette.
If/when you obtain you may be interested in improving its performance. Look at my postings on this site and contact me by pm. You don't need to spend Euro 99 plus p&p to buy on eBay

All set and ready for ebike adventures

Hi Steve, Did David tell you how to derestrict your Wisper 905se? I have one and am considering the same. did it work well for you?
Thanks

Hi, I have recently rescued an old Raleigh with a panasonic motor from a friends back garden. My question is, do you know where I can source/borrow a replacement handle bar controler from as the existing one is faulty? Hopefully I can then fix the switching problem & see if the motor still works. If it does I think it will be worth restoring; if not I will strip it for parts.
Thanks in advance

Hello.
My partner has a pendleton somerby, which she has not used for six months and unfortunately the battery will not charge. The charger had shown a green light but no charge had been going in. However I have opened the battery and effected a fairly simple fix.

By the way, someone here worked out recently that riding a high priced e-bike can actually cost more per Kilometer to
run than a small car, when viewed over a few years, sad but true!!!
And most people have both!
Have a great day.

Part 6.
Its also your choice as to whether you heed the infos, but if you have 2000 UK ponds to spend, may I suggest two
identical hub bikes, which will give you a full set of spares, including a second battery!
If you need any further infos, I will do my best for you.

Part 5.
Repairing such bikes, if and when, is really simple for any reasonable DIYer, or any LBS.
Please be so kind as to keep this info to yourself, as the "Bosch Bullies" here can get very rude when you tell them
that their "baby" has problems.

Part 5.
One new chain and many brake pads.....It cost new withe 2 batteries, delivery and import duties, including all
the extras except the GPS (I have one!), just over 900 UK Pounds.
For generic Chinese (all e-bikes are Chinese, but some try and hide that!) bikes, all parts are available online, and do not have to come from the manufacturer!!! Almost anyone can sell compatible parts.

Part 4.
If the chain breaks on a hub bike, the motor can still drive and be activated by either PAS system (air pedaling), or
the throttle if you have one, and provided there is some battery capacity still, you simply ride home!
Plus complete hub bikes can be had for less than 1000 UK Pounds, including a second battery. I ride one of them since
2017.

Part 3.
If the chain breaks, you have to walk home unless you have a spare chain, the tools needed and lighting at night. Plus that you know how to repair it.
On hub bikes, the only stress is muscle that power goes through the chain, assuming that you are pedaling, otherwise no stress is applied to the chain. The chain wears even slower than a normal pedal bike chain does.
