just to add to this, I bought a bike with a 36v Dorado from around 2018 that would not charge (red light would soon flash red/green alternating) or show any output voltage but on dismantling I can see 40v at the batteries when tested directly. I tried a BMS reset but no luck. On looking at the...

Thanks, but couldn't find one with good pictures, i'm sorted now.

Thank you fooferdoggie that's a great help as thread sizes given, and I can find out if Magura or Hayes are the same as Tektro as they don't mention, maybe i've missed it. I have what seems like more conventional, a sealing screw and a recessed female thread in the master cylinder cap. Like the...

Hi I've spent 10 minutes searching on here without success. I will be buying a "screw-on brake fluid reservoir cup" at some point, just to make the job easier. My question is:- Can some kind person tell me the thread size of the master cylinder port for a Shimano and for a Tektro Ariga Comp...

I am about to replace this plug (Reention/Dorado 2 pin) on an early Oxygen bike. I don't know if anyone knows of a UK supplier for male/female plug complete at a reasonable price? I've found one in Bristol but it's 4 times the price of item below...

hit the ground running now as motor is brushless so that's a plus. Unfortunately performance normality was short lived and about to learn about the Dorado battery it uses, as getting mixed messages at to whether it's just generally on it's last legs or whether the main output connector is making...

we sound so similar re: enjoyment in rejuvenating a commutator, drills, angle grinders, wiper motors :) I used to do Slot Racing in my youth, and of course, these were critical, you had to shunt the brushes on the more powerful cars or stuff would start melting.

Thanks, but will be happy to fix everything on this bike for starters. Battery holding full charge at 45.5 volts so far. Lots to read about testing and possible repair of bike in general. I will go searching on here, but if anyone sees this post - I am looking to overhaul the Bafang motor...

I have today, bitten the bullet and bought a rather well used Oxygen S cross MTB just to get me started. It has as std a Bafang 250W rear wheel drive and a Dorado type 36v/13.5 Ah battery. It might be a whole waste of time and money but busy refurbing and cleaning and might turn out ok.

Very interesting Court but i've run into something that is confusing as a result in that i'm looking to buy what is described as an "IZIP" but what the picture shows is an "eZIP" according to your write up. EDIT - just to confirm Court, it looks like it's simply the other way round:- IZIP...

I do like the look of that Mike, it's not yours though? - would love to read more about that as it looks like simplicity itself as far as the mechanical drive goes.

Many Thanks for your replies, and thank you for your specific reply DiggyGun. I am happy with no immediate acceleration as am a non-powered cyclist for about 30 years and happy to go 70 miles if my health is up to it. I take onboard what several are saying re: buying a "turn key" Ebike, and i'm...

Further to this, the longer I wait the clearer my focus on the route I will go re: set-up, and also the greater range of available products which have yet to increase much in price in the UK so far. I notice that an option for a totally "freewheel" rear wheel drive is being talked about for...

I was struggling to find a suitable picture, maybe the wrong one for an E-bike Forum. I don't know the model of Ducati that you mentioned, Suzuki should be proud of their gearboxes, certainly superior to the majority from Italy.

Thank you Stefan, i've seen that you post regularly, and your opinion will help me decide finally. It will take a long time to wade through all the different bikes and specifications, and I am guessing that the best choice of bike might be specific to each country to some extent, let alone all...

I do genuinely appreciate your expertise and comment on the free-wheeling ability of mid-mount versus rear wheel drive, thank you, but re: "red bike" comment i would stick to advising on E-bikes if i were you. ;) oh, and i've just come in from a non-powered cycle ride, where i regularly achieved...

Thanks for reply ZZ, I will be sticking to flat terrain. Re: breakdowns, I did add "broken" so covered myself ;) and certainly at home with many 2 wheel breakdowns by now, but not of the flat battery kind, hence my interest. I would be interested to hear how many miles your Voilamart conversion...

I haven't read whole thread but a big plus for the Suntour NCX. The price was a factor and here in the UK it has almost doubled in less than 3 years but it's a well-made unit and i have covered several thousand miles on mine without any problems. I've used it in all weathers and no signs of...

Hi All I, i'm guessing like hundreds of others, have been "hovering" for over a year now, taking ages in deciding which is the best way to go. My main excuse is that I fear that my chosen E-bike might not get the use that my non-powered currently gets. and i'm only really considering this route...
