    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    a bit "after the horse has bolted" but thanks for the thought, all done and dusted now. P.S. can't get link to work anyway.

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Although posting in the wrong place I suppose, I forgot to add that I can help anyone out now with re-wiring a thumb operated throttle, as learnt the hard way. I bought same* for a Bafang mid-drive with matching 3 pin plug (even the colour (orange) was correct!) hoping it would work but for some...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Hi Alton Thank you for replying, I forgot to update this thread, partly because of very small response anyway! Your bike sounds great and I still might assemble a special eventually but meanwhile I took the plunge which was quite a gamble, and bought a 3 year old OXYGEN mtb in need of repair and...

    Please delete thread.

    a pointless, futile thread, that nobody commented on positively - moderators please delete.

    Reention - Dorado Battery parts?

    Thanks for trying Tom but did you see the aftermarket soldering on that board? - I won't be taking a chance on that Polish one. I did find one new but the price was too high. Looking at the range of new aftermarket boards available, I think that that is my best route but will need to learn/will...

    Reention - Dorado Battery parts?

    I'm still on the learning curve, the battery is in 5 groups of 10 cells, (I thought it was 4!). This is the very board I need to replace.

    Reention - Dorado Battery parts?

    Thanks, i've found them all online now, but looks like this is a "4s" so I guess that the BMS required must be specific for this, the main plug has 10 wires only

    Reention - Dorado Battery parts?

    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...

    Brake bleeding interchangeability of bleeding kit..

    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...

    Brake bleeding interchangeability of bleeding kit..

    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...

    NCM Dehawk battery disassemble / repair

    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...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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.

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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.

    Difference Between Currie eZip and IZIP Electric Bikes

    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...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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.

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    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...
