  1. Thank you for your help and link paul.
  2. Hello all, Sadly, I have had to place my Ultramotor 26" hybrid up for sale on eBay. The details are on there is anyone wants to take a look and is at a low starting price of £600. Thanks everyone and best wishes. Neil
  3. Hi Yes it would appear to be the same bike as in the video.
  4. Hello and thank you for your reply. Sorry I seem to have posted this on two different threads. Would you please have time to look at the thread under the technical section? A guy called Paul seems to think that the controller is within the frame and has posted a video for me. Many thanks Neil
  5. Hello mate I am based in Leeds.
  6. Hello All, I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on a couple of matters please? I have an Ultramotor a2b 26" hybrid. I have suffered a serious illness where I cannot even peddle an electric bike. My only option would be to fit a throttle and hopefully a new faster controller to the bike to continue to us the bike off road. Could anyone please point me in the right direction as to what spec and type controller and throttle I should be looking to buy please? I have a look on ebay but have no idea if they would work on this bike. Thank you for any help anyone could offer. Neil

  8. Hello all Which methods of chain cleaning do most people find work best for there bikes please? A chain cleaning machine or degreasing spray and brushes ect? Many Thanks Neil
  9. Many thanks for your help guys/gals. I will let you know how i get on! Best wishes Biffanio
  10. I am about 10.5 stones so im sure that is no way should make an excessive difference on averages. Btw on travelling from work tonight the maximum has again dropped to 12.1 mph 1 mile into a 100% charge! i cannot even reach 15 mph peddeling flat out! Many thanks Biffanio
  11. Thanks for the responses guys. It is a fast4ward peak bike. It is hitting these speeds daily on a new long piece of smooth tarmac going to work. The speeds are taken on a non windy day. when fully charged since repair it will hit 13.1-13.5mph unassisted on a 100% charge mark. When the charge falls to approx. 60% these maximum speeds drop to 11.5-12.3 mph. Like i said i know of another peak bike doing the same speeds and also a courtesy bike was exactly the same whilst my was getting fixed. Thanks Biffanio
  12. Hello all, I recently purchased an ebike that in the advert claimed to do "15.5 mph is its maximum motor powered speed" when i first got it, it is impossible to go over 11.1mph on this bike on a totally smooth flat surface when on approximately 60% charge or below on full twist and go throttle. I sent it back to have this repaired as well as various other faults that developed. I have just received the bike back and it still only does between 11.5-12.3 mph on the twist and throttle unassisted. Is this quite common with an ebike as i was under the impression that it would power me unassisted to speeds of 15.5 mph? Also the speeds notably drop when it hits around 60% charge. I would like as many opinions as possible please as i do know of another person who is also disappointed with the same make of ebike also with this issue! Many thanks and best wishes biffanio
  13. Hello everyone,newbie here Just out of curiosity, how many charge cycles roughly would you expect out of an advanced 36 volt Panasonic lithium battery? The reason for asking was I was rather shocked when I was quoted nearly £500 for a spare! Many thanks in advance Neil
  14. Thank you ever so much for your kind replies everyone. If anyone is aware where I could source a spare battery from I would be most grateful. Best wishes Neil
  15. Sorry I didn't explain better. I have one already on order but have the concerns as above. Many thanks Neil
  16. Hello all, Could I please ask for a little advice on an ebike I have put an order in for. This is going to be my first ebike and it is going to be used to commute to work,using the canal route. After having a look around I decided to plump for a Ultra motor "Fast4ward peak". I was at peace with my purchase until i tried to source a spare Panasonic battery for it which i cannot find? ,which is ringing alarm bells. Also i have heard that Ultra motor went into administration last November and i am also worried about sourcing future parts,even though a new Indian buyer has been found? I am wondering if I should change my choice of bike? If anyone could offer me some advice on these concerns I would be very grateful? Thank you in advance Neil
