I've been asked numerous times if the 25ah will fit bikes with a narrow step through style frame. My GF has a NCM Milano with a narrow frame so I did a quick video showing everyone with narrow frame bikes that the 25ah will typically fit without issue. You only need 5mm space above your stock...

None that I've seen

Not a contradiction at all :-) I was always sure NCM must sell to more than just Magnum and Amego. Thanks for sharing the info! I've always understood NCM owns Das-Kit, I thought on one of the parent websites it even stated that. Could be wrong, certainly NCM owns Leon Cycle, they are open about...

What's the bike brand? NCM makes Magnum and Amego bikes. Other bikes do likely use the same frame but only bikes made by NCM seem to use the Das-Kit motor and controller, I'd be interested to learn other brands using Das-Kit parts.

Honestly ebike or regular bike you should try and get in the habit of keeping the front brake held regardless. That keeps you anchored on the road as most stop lights have a little bias forward or back and on our bikes it disengages the motor so it can't kick on and surprise you. Likewise for...

I feel there needs to be a restriction. Way too easy to manufacture a ebike that can do 80km/hr and have it get in the hands of someone who has no road driving experience. I fully support high speed bikes but they need to be regulated and require license/insurance past a certain point. Should...

Over a year ago since the poster even logged in to EBR. My fingers are crossed for you :-)

I have a folding Dahon with the same issue. Grease and oil helps a bit. A bike tech cleaned it all up one day and regreased the hinge, it made a difference but didn't solve it entirely. My understanding is over time the force on the pin bends it very slightly and it starts to bind. Unsure if...

That's a shame! The batteries are normally pretty solid. It's likely an easy repair but shipping batteries around is expensive. I've unfortunately stopped recommending NCM bikes. I own a Moscow, my son has an Amego (NCM made) and my GF has a Milano but for me the constant broken spokes have make...

I'm assuming it's a 7-speed threaded freewheel not a cassette but can anyone confirm?

My son and I have identical bikes and a 13ah, 16ah and 25ah battery. We've found that's one of the other unexpected bonuses of having the 25ah battery. Both batteries deplete and lose some of their performance as the batteries die, but the 25ah has a MUCH better curve with its higher capacity...

Makes sense. If you are buying a spare I still recommend Jenny she sells smaller batteries than the 25ah. I've already got a battery to repair or I'd offer to try and repair yours, it will likely be a simple fix but require pulling the entire pack apart and doing a new weld or possibly sorting...

Jenny's batteries have Samsung 50E or Samsung 35E cells in them. Top of the line. For my own battery I was able to verify everything looks well made, battery pack looks solid. I've ridden it in rough trails and wet conditions without issue. NCM/Leon have Panasonic cells in them. Also supposed...

My review of a 25a shows the test rig I use for testing capacity. It's the same basic meter BlueSky mentioned just a different model, I ordered mine from Aliexpress for like $20cdn shipped then rigged it up with two incandescent light bulbs as resistors as they are super cheap, easy and give a...

Sounds like a bad connection inside either between the pack and the BMS or the BMS and the discharge port. Could be a bad weld on the batteries too but I think you'd see a different symptoms then of odd voltage drops and not charging. It's repairable I am certain but I'm not going to recommend...

My son and I love our batteries too, we are strongly considering a little battery business here in our area of the world reselling Jenny's batteries! I hope your's sell well, they are a great buy!!

100% agree. Your findings seem to mirror my own informal testing. ECO and Normal seem very similar and Power gives faster acceleration. I've been using Normal for ages now and just got used to it so never think of it any more.

If you have any snags let me know I've soldered those connectors before. My main issue is they are a fat connection and take a lot of heat so get a decent size soldering iron. This place also sells them and I've ordered from them before...

Agreed. If you are looking for a replacement battery then @Jenny Mao and Aijiu are your best bet for a great battery (Samsung cells inside) for a great price. She sells 14ah up to the 25ah I purchased. See my review of the battery from Jenny here...

Just spotted the new NCM City Bike on the Leon Cycle web site. Was super excited to see a city oriented narrow tire ebike but was quickly deflated by a couple things. 1) 36v??? Really? I was expecting 48v 2) 350w motor 3) The back rack is only good for side panniers, you can't throw anything...
