I will be going out on it today so when I get back (drunk) I will leave it to charge for a couple of days if that is long enough.? Also my mistake I have had the bike for about 4 years but I never went anywhere over long distances mostly a couple of miles here and there two or three times a week.and that was a mixture of peddle power and battery power.

Thanks for that advice Alan.I have been hit before with paying custom costs and they are not cheap. I guess I will have to ignore SW's BoJo)

Thanks I will do that

Thanks anyway. it looks a good site with honest prices.

Thanks for that..looks as easy as pie. you do it and there will be a £120 smackers in your pocket.

I agree Dave. as stated I know nothing about the battery side of things .I'm just trying to find a cheaper way to keep the bike going.

No need to apologize.I know your trying to help.but as I said I don't know anything about e bikes and certainly not the batteries.I asked the question in the hope that they might be a cheaper way to sort the battery out as I don't have the kind of money that's been quoted.

I'm sorry you need to keep repeating yourself. but to put it mildly I don't have a clue what your saying. I'M a novice and know nothing about what a battery can do or cant do.that's why I always asked Frank for advice because I didn't know who else to ask..

I agree the £400 price tag is good compared to the £750 I was quoted from Frank the person I bought the bike from for £1200.who seems to be a bit of a con man. As for the capacity my old battery which was with the bike is a 48v/15ah so obviously I need to keep to that sort of power .

Thanks but on checking the site a custom seems to be about £400/500.

Hi Ford. I just normally go out on the bike and charge the battery when I get home until the charger states it completely recharged.I could give that a go as its worth a try.

Thanks Alan. it looks complicated but I will read it more in depth later see if I can grasp it.

Hi Alan Thanks for replying.I cant afford the price that was quoted at me from the seller who built the bike. I'm more than happy to try any suggestion or help you can give me as I don't want to stop using the bike. how do you go about with the lipo ones please.?

Hi All. I'm hoping someone can help with this. the battery I have is a 48v 15ah and its starting to lose power .I have been using it for a couple of years. I'm after a 48v 20ah battery but wondered if there is a way I could make one myself as the prices are way to expensive to buy one ready done. ?

Thanks again guys for more good tips.I thought with it being a new bike it wouldn't need doing for awhile but I was thinking as you suggested d8veh about all the rain and snow that I will be out in,so the Hypoid 90 gear oil sounds perfect and at that price I wont bother to half inch it.

Thanks Alex.I will try that also as its a good price

Thanks guys for your suggestions much appreciated.so it looks like GT85 is the one. I will see if I can half inch one tomorrow from Tesco.

Sorry eddie. Thanks for link,that's nice and cheap to. with bike being new should I still use it on the chain.?

You need the AR*SE BANDIT FORUM.

Hi, I have just bought a new e bike,whats the best lubricant to use on the Chain please.?

Ive got lots of questions for after 9pm

Hi, I have just bought a new e bike,whats the best lubricant to use please.?

ok Thank you both for your help

Thanks for your replies and answering my question d8veh.as it was the speed I was most concerned about. with not knowing much about e bikes I always thought that the bigger the battery such as 36v and 48v gave you more speed than say a 24v. as it would the speed I need when getting one of these bikes. so if the bike I quoted with the 10AH and 1,500watt motor will reach a speed of say 25/28 mph then that would do me

Thanks nrg and frank. so what your saying is even if it was a 20AH you would still get the same speed as the 10 AH but not range.?
