    hub motor is not fitting in my frame!

    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...

    How to fix Broken elation Battery case (rack mount)

    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)...

    Hidden Wire Brake Sensor with 2 wire brake Controller

    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

    E-biker Rage

    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...

    Warning to Yuba Owners - don't use large rotors

    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...

    Just got MAC 7T-need CA V3 but can I connect without it?

    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...

    Bike Racks

    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/

    ebike stolen, Sydney Australia

    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...

    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...

    15QR Front Hub Motor?

    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?

    $80,000 worth of lies, lies I tell you!

    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.

    Ping 2A charger - bad connections?

    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...

    eLation 200watt kit (Australia)

    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...

    That Maddass bike would be great for conversion. The petrol tank is in the frame so I bet it could be emptied out and filled with batteries. Trouble is those 125cc motors which come with most of them are pretty efficient and last forever (based on a honda design), so it wouldn't make economic...

    Excellent thanks for that link Miles. That clears up some of the rumours for me. Looks like they are all true! I wish I was more into this stuff 12 months ago when they were taking submissions. Maybe I'm not up on high tech pedal first systems (like the Aprilla?) My old hub motor bike has a...

    I've read via the above links that the nsw rta via Gabriel Denoury is about to get the new regulations going. But I can't find anything but hearsay and gossip. One site implied that bikes could not have a throttle that operates above 6 kph. This is basically what I feared; a bunch dumb...

    Personally I'm against any registration. My view is that my vehicle is a bike and any rego on bikes would I recon be the thin end of the wedge to register all bikes. A great revenue raiser for government I'm sure especially as bikes become more popular. Also if compulsory helmet wearing put...

    Aussie 200 Watt Limit Thread

    I think the 25k speed limit thing is about when the motor cuts out and wouldn't limit coasting or pedaling faster if your capable. But yeah it could be argued that on narrow separated cycleway any kind of speed limit could hold up other riders and create dangerous situations. Although Im not...

    Your right Hardcarve1 ebikes seem to sit between motorbikes and bikes (esp with the lycra crowd I actually saw one wearing a yellow jersey today :lol:), but in approaching this we should keep a focus on the fact that what most of us ride are just bicycles first and foremost. At 200W on a cargo...

    I like the argument of increased complexity and cost. Plus electric limiters (as we all know here) are easy to overcome. Better to have the limitations, such as they are, engineered into the design rather than rely on pedal first and speed limiters. This could in fact be a good argument for...

    Aussie 200 Watt Limit Thread

    I like the simplicity of a speed limit (30k better than 25) but then in theory you could speed limit a Ducati Monster and say its a bike :shock: The LA class of motorbike have a capacity limit (50cc) and a speed limit (50K), although in theory you could use a 50cc with significant power to get...

    Aussie 200 Watt Limit Thread

    I'm not going to touch the whole what really is 200W can of worms, I'll leave that to engineers and court cases. I imagine registering an Ebike is just like registering a kit built car or custom made motor bike and would require "blue slip" type engineer inspections etc. to get it registered as...
