29th of February, 2008: Have returned from china: finally first time
to put up something on website for a long time. Unfortunately first thing I have
added is some information about my previous employee Qihua Shen and his family
who stole a large amount of stock from me and they made some attempts to
inflict some injuries to me fortunately their attempts didn't work..
Anyway here is the info about them: more
info
Apologies to all the customers who are waiting for goods, trying my best to
restock and get back ontop of things, but has been a difficult last few months
to say the least. Have found some new products on this trip and some new
motors/controllers will put more info up as time permits.
15th of November, 2007: will be in china from 15th of Nov. 2007 until
15th of Feb 2008 email contact only available during that time,
or will have to phone china office: 86-579-82460480
( note will have new address in Newcastle, Australia after 15th of Feb. 2008

1st of June, 2007: have put up a section on the large 60v 4kw
motors may be suited to small ev applications.
http://www.users.bigpond.com/solarbbq/largemotor.htm
18th of May, 2007: Thanks to Scott N for sending me an email pointing out my misinterpretation and lack of understanding of the concept of torque, there are quite a few errors relating to my torque graphs where I have calculated stall torque values for various rim sizes, where in fact the stall torque is a constant for all the rim sizes for a given motor, and its the force they can exert that changes for different rim sizes. Will rectify errors as time permits.
15th of May, 2007: some new customers projects pics up on this page:
http://www.users.bigpond.com/solarbbq/customerpics/customerpics.htm
2nd of May, 2007: Because my website is a bit of a mess ( my own
handywork!) Tony Mathews a friend in surfers has offered to redo the website in
a more readable, organised format, hes only just began working on it but the
website url is www.ebike.biz
30nd April, 2007: Little bit more info at bottom of this page on

5th of April, 2007: Finally can start puting some more things up on website, things are getting busy to say the least. Have found some new products on recent china trip, heres a few of them on this link : http://www.users.bigpond.com/solarbbq/newproducts.htm . Can now send Nimh batteries by airfreight after getting the relevant safety certificates also looks like Lithium will be ok to send by airfreight also. Quite a a few other bits and pieces have found in china will put up as time permits. Also have been doing some experimenting with simple techniques for rejuvenating sla agm batteries, results looking promising but a bit early to say yet.
15th of February, 2007: Sorry folks but have had to put up my freight
prices, I've been charging only a portion of the freight I get charged in order
to keep prices down but dont think I can continue to do that way, so have had to
put the full frieght costs onto the prices ( see
http://www.users.bigpond.com/solarbbq/bikesale/bsale.htm ), not
much choice really if I want to stay in biz.
Also appears ems freight is open during chinese new year
so can continue sending out orders.
14th of February, 2007: Has been a long while since I've done anything
to website, still in china , have been flat out over here, very hectic is an
understatement!
Might be able to find time now chinese new year holidays are starting, all
factories are closed for 10days minimum including freight companies. So cant
send out anything between 15th of February till about the 25th of February, 07.
23rd of December, 2006: Have updated page of Freight Prices and times
to deliver. Turns out ems freight and its internet tracking system is extremely
quick and reliable, it was my workman who was the problem!!!!!!
http://www.users.bigpond.com/solarbbq/freight.htm
23rd of December, 2006: Have been in China for over two weeks. To my shock I found out my workman had not been sending alot of things out and had kept/spent the money on himself! So have spent the last two weeks trying to sort out the back log of things that had to go out (dating back about 3 months).
1st of December, 2006: will be in China from the 4th of December for one month perhaps a bit longer. Have to resolve some freight issues and get office a bit more organised and find some new ebike thingies. Contact via email will be no problem but phone contact will be via china office which is 86-579-2460480
