Just got an email about a new kit coming soon on Indiegogo. Made by the Bikee Bike people. I`ve been riding the bikee motor for a couple of years - pulls like a tractor but heavy. So the new one looks like an interesting alternative https://www.lightest.bike/?mwr=fe2f6a2f

4 of us went on the ride Steve. So far the biggest group we`ve had is six. Be great to see you on one of our future rides.

On Sunday, 15th Feb, our cycling club for ebikes will go for another ride (weather permitting). We`ll be leaving the Cyclelife Wessex Shop (181 Bridport Road, Dorchester, DT1 3BN) at 11.00 and proceed to Moreton, going through Puddletown Forest and on through the back lanes. We`ll stop for coffee and cakes, etc at Moreton Tea Rooms - and then return via more interesting back lanes. Should be a twenty mile ride, or thereabouts. If you fancy coming along to join the ride, please do, all welcome. Info and maps on our club website: https://poundburypedelecers.wordpress.com/

I had a similar problem with a BMS Battery Lifepo4. It appeared after several months using the battery (not straight out of the box like your problem). Same symptoms - when charger attached full voltage indicated, but nothing when charger removed. I contacted BMS Battery about the problem but got no reply. So eventually resorted to bypassing the bms for output (using an inline fuse on the positive wire), while continuing to charge via the bms. Not exactly an ideal solution, but the battery has worked ok ever since (for the last couple of years).

Good to know - and glad to hear that ebike development continues.

Bought my first Lifepo4 Battery from BMS Battery a couple of years ago - no problems, it arrived quickly and worked ok. They don`t seem so efficient replying to emails though. (My second Lifepo4 I got from Eclipse Bikes in the UK and didn`t cost much more in total). Whoosh do the BBSO1 250 for £330 inc delivery - http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?cdkit

Possibly a Magura - but best to check with the man himself if interested.

There is now a British supplier of the 8fun 250w mid drive. Tony Castles (the Nano Drive developer, etc) Have a look here: http://www.mr-motorvator.co.uk/Mojo/index.html
