I've had a similar problem with an older narrower frame not taking any multiple freewheel cassette with a rear hub motor and decided to try single speed. Single speed is quite good to combine with a motor, makes for a very simple relaxing ride. My motor is fairly low power, top speed of 32ks but...

Sounds like you've got it up and running. That battery case looks the same as the one from BMS Battery http://www.bmsbattery.com/57-battery-case and no doubt elsewhare too. You can just order the battery case. I have that part as a spare if you want it (the other end of mine (not elation)...

I have a the 3 connector HWBS from BMS battery however the K63 controller only has 2 pin (reed switch) wiring. Can I just take the 5v power for the HWBS from somewhere else like the hall power connector (i'm running sensorless) or the PAS or Throttle? Thanks

I feel your pain and I'm all for getting angry I mean I'm a red blooded male (like everyone else here!) But I think gestures and shouting are a quick way get (to quote dogman) "yer dead". People are just to F#@%ed in the head some times. You just don't know who is behind you in that car. Even...

Hmm .. I'm late to this too. I have 203mm Avid BB7 brakes on the front of my Yuba but mine is an early v3 with the round profile forks. I have not ever been happy with the flexing in the forks and seemed to get lots of vibration but better brake pads and better setup seemed to have improved...

I have just received my kit from cellman last week excactly like yours (but with a 16T front motor and 39volt A123Pack). I also got the extra thumb controller too and mine was not working until I connected the on/off switch (no 1 in your pic, red switch up away from green button for on, I...

I;ve not seen these in the flesh but I love the look of this Plestcher gear. I have one of the double leg kick stands on my cargo bike and it is bullet proof! http://www.wiggle.co.uk/pletscher/cycle/

How weird that someone thinks that ebike riders will give a flying %^& what other people think of them! proud "wimpy poseur" here

My old greenewheels ebike was stolen in on Kelly street in Ultimo about 3 weeks ago. A bit late now i know but though I would post anyway, in case anyone spots it or gets offered parts at low low prices! It was a bit of a bitsa in the end with many parts repaired or replaced. Bafang type rear...

Classic photo. Headline should read "Epidemic of e bikes endangering SUVs right to text while driving"

It's not the police who make me want to have a legal bike, its the lawyers. All the police can do is fine you. If your on and illegal bike and are involved in an accident it does not take a great leap of imagination to see some laywer making a case against you. Even if you haven't got much in...

I'm thinking of getting a dual suspension mountain bike and would like to swap the front wheel for a hub motor during the week. Problem is the forks are the 15mm type. Is there any way of mounting a hub motor to this kind of fork?

Nice looking but considering the lack of mudguards you would have a "blacktrail" of mud up the back of your nice business suit on a rainy day.

So I have a problem with my ping 2.5 amp charger pretty much as outlined above with the uncooked spagetti inner insulation cracking and I guess shorting. I'm sure Ping would send me a replacement but I want it up and running ASAP. I want to replace the lead but is there any need to use coaxial...

Yes my eLation works fine too, although my freewheel did come loose in the crank. Sent it back to Allan and was fixed and back within 5 days, great service. I recon the simplest solution is change to a normal Bottom Bracket, get a longer chain and run it through a chain tensioner, either a...
