What are you banging on about now John? An easier target for what?

The single led light I bought didn’t work. Adapting the original light meant I had to snip cables. I ran out of glue sticks. I had to learn how to solder. Handlebar clamps I bought off that eBay were the wrong size. The original julet cable wasn’t long enough. Circumstances just plain conspired...

I always thought the original looked like it should be on a different bike. Once I’ve tested the light I’ll post all the bits I bought to do it. The front light now only has a single led vs 6, so may not be up to much. If not, I’ll scavenge the original and adapt the light to fit it a dremel...

Light attached, cable is in the mail. Hadn’t noticed that the julet 2 pin cable is male at either end of the new light and existing cable, so had to get a female-female

I’ve gone back to light off road, so dirt tracks mostly on the flat. Power drops out I find on a steady incline anyway and the tyres took a couple of mph off on the flat. I put the originals back on. just starting to get the brute doing wheelies. Quite tricky, but it reminds me of my old...

I also have the forgeddaboutit (if that’s how you spell it) chain / lock. It’s a proper heavy, so forgetting about it, frankly, is not likely. I also have a gold standard u lock for quick stops. Mirrors… Personal choice I reckon - although my seated position is quite high so I’d be inclined to...

Welcome to the club buddy. Did you go for the 250 or the 750? Was there much difference? For the others, I decided on a front light upgrade. Not got the attached wired or owt yet, but this is how it will look… I’m also considering a brown leather seat and matching grips

Got my controller back the other day, all put back together and works fine again. I also managed to find what looks to be a decent bike rack for my car. It’s not arrived yet, but I’ll let you know how I get on with it. It was around £200 from Amazon.. Peruzzo Pure Instinct 2. For fat wheels...

HummoHD, I’ve taken my controller out today, it’s being repaired or replaced (not sure which) by NewGen since the forks chopped the pas cable. Removal was actually really straightforward. For what it’s worth, find a couple of snaps attached!

No idea about the controllers, sorry bud

Lol, I was the same when mine was in shipping - it was like waiting for Christmas morning all over. The speed reached is due to inhibitors in the settings, Max speed 25kph, wheel size as per actual wheel size etc. In principle, removing these will increase speed but probably adds strain to the...

Hi Hummo, I’ve just been iloutto do some throttle tests. In its current settings whilst simultaneously charging my phone it ran in the flat quite happily at 15mph. This dips down on the uphill and goes up on the downhill. 15mph does actually feel pretty quick on these bikes though but I’ll have...

So, NewGen got back in touch yesterday - I’d let them know I’d put a temporary fix in place - and it seems this is a very important cable indeed and cannot be replaced. They’ve said they will either send a replacement controller or have the bike collected for the controller to be replaced by...

I’ve invoked a temporary fix - cut, reconnected, covered & retested to get pedal assist back but I also noted a similar cable routing problem with the front brake which also shows signs of wear

Np, this one is a bit of a bugger as it terminates under the seat at the controller. A replacement cable looks about £10 on eBay (blue 4 pin Julet cable) but what I don’t know at the minute is if the other end is male or female, and I don’t want to invalidate the warranty by opening the thing up!

posted on the wrong chat a few moments ago, yesterday my pedal assist stopped working. I was a few miles out but had throttle to return on. Discovered today that the forks have sliced the cable turning to the right. Check your cables fellas, keep them out of the way of the forking guillotine...

So, to my dismay yesterday, I was out and about and found that the Pedal assist sensor wasn’t working. So, thankfully, although it wasn’t on the order I was able to get home with the throttle on its own. Found just now that the sensor cable has been trapped by something severing the wires…. not...

Thanks Racer, just went to have a look… 45 quid a pop

Congrats RD, my purchase experience was similar and the threads indicated to me that orders are placed by Newgen in batches with my purchase seemingly being at the beginning of a new batch. I waited 2-3 months (I think) for mine to arrive but wasn’t disappointed when it did. It was well packaged...
