A bit long-winded - but that’s me, I‘m afraid.

And spare charging cords are gold dust. Check the price of an Ebikemotion charger. They should be 10 bucks, but are 120.

It would obviously be easier to mount the second water bottle elsewhere…there are single and double water bottle mounts that fit to the saddle rails, and others - even insulated ones - that fit on the handlebars so you can sip on a skinny latte as you ride…sorry I didn’t respond earlier, I have...

I thought about that, but if it’s for my bike, I can (and have) used the charger cable plug. But given more time (I’m always impatient) I would unscrew the charge port, lift it up to expose the cables, and splice into the two larger power leads and run the cable up inside the seat tube. Neater...

These aren’t quite the same - do you know if this is the company that made the connectors Pablo21?

Yup I’d ordered a ‘momentary on’ not a ‘latching on’ switch. I was too impatient to wait for a replacement so went ahead without. It works, perfectly. Those third-party guys have really been taking the piss. I’ll post that video later today and link on here. Though I confess if I could get hold...

I have also done lots of looking re people who have successfully made their own range extenders. There have been quite a number over the years. They all seem to rely on protection provided by Ebikemotion within the controller as some have just hooked up an external battery by cutting off and...

So jealous of all these frozen rides I’m seeing. Stuck with this here in Catalunya (currently in Spain). And these damn empty roads.

I thought the winding determines where your Max power/torque comes. Like a sweet spot. On my bike it’s at 15-25kmh which isn’t where I need it, it’s at 8-10kmh when I think I’m about to die on a nasty climb.

Phil what have you used to slow the aux battery from instantaneously equalising it’s charge with the Gain’s battery? Or do you make sure the two batteries have the same voltage when you connect Them up?

FedEx will fly lithium batteries and operate here in Spain…but I guess if he says no…

You could ask Tomas to use a different courier, maybe. He seems nice.

I was happily blaming myself until I started researching, though it is of course possible that the spokes becoming loose are the cause of the all of the breakages. If that is the case though, loosening spokes still doesn’t happen regularly with other bikes to the same extent as the Gain, so...

I had the same problem with my Gain spokes popping on the rear wheel. Blamed myself until research showed just how common a fault this was with riders of all weights. (It’s REALLY common! And on all of the rims Orbea use, Mavic, Corsa, Blackjack anyway) I got my replacements (Sapim Race 240mm)...

Surely eventually all cycle talk ends up about our bottoms?

I never know if it is truly ok to post a video I made on a site I have only joined a few months ago…but since I was given an action cam last March for my birthday, I’ve really enjoyed making these things. I’m very lucky to live in a beautiful part of Spain. This is my most popular video, with a...

I always appear to be late arriving at thesethreads, but this one is only two weeks cold! I’ve been everywhere trying to find how to DIY a range extender for the Gain. As we now know, the original extender is actually a battery bank which recharges the original battery, whereas Volabike’s is an...
