    speculation: Does brexit make the ebike moped law null and void?

    Somehow I think if we wouldn't allow it in Europe we wont be allowing it out of Europe. We are one of the most conservative , blinkered nations on earth, trying to hang on to the past rather than embrace the future, apart from maybe North Korea.

    Batteries too expensive!!

    Interesting discussion . Having just bought a Yamaha dirt e the thought of paying I think about £600 for a replacement battery is a scary thought. I did read somewhere on this forum that the Yamaha batteries are good for 2000 charges..optimistic? probably.So lets half that estimate and say 1000...

    Cyclotricity Revolver review

    Must say in defence of cyclotricity I have a 4 1/2 year old revolver circa 4000 miles. Agree it needs a little tlc and the forks on mine are crap ( I think they are better ones now) it has been a good bike . I have had to grease my bottom bracket, (not sealed) and my middle chainring is...

    New Yamaha powered e-bikes at £1399

    glad to be of help..one thing to note is at a 6 feet and 33 inch instep I just fit the large bike. if you are any shorter maybe the medium is a better bet. or you could shorten the 400mm seat post by 2 or three inches if necessary. regards

    New Yamaha powered e-bikes at £1399

    Hi brownster, was out for the second time today. First impressions on the road was a little harder work than a hub/rotation sensor bike . Off road and on hills is where it really scores though. So much torque at low speed through the gears, feels like it will climb a mountain. Plenty of grip...

    New Yamaha powered e-bikes at £1399

    I know flecc. I was being a little tongue in cheek. Seriously though I find 18 mph a nice cruising speed on road on an mtb. Shame my new bike wont do that. Be interesting to see if it cuts out at 15.5 or 17 mph. the latter would be nice, Regards

    New Yamaha powered e-bikes at £1399

    Thanks to you Artsu I am £1399 lighter :confused:. Have fancied a crankdrive bike for a while and think this will be a little better for light trailwork than my hub motored Saracen. Did consider the j e james full sus but felt it was overkill for what I do. the Saracen has now 1.75 Schwalbe...

    Batri bike Storm

    I haven't got one altop1, but I did test ride one and found it a very comfortable bike. Really liked it but at the time it was £1599.so I passed. At £1299 it is fair value I feel. It has a 21" frame which suited me nicely being a tad over 6 feet tall. The rear suspension is basic coil spring...

    I think yours is a 10 x8. but check yourself ..if so an 11 x 8 should give a bit more grunt but pull more amps also. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APC-11-x-8-Thin-Electric-Propeller-Prop-E-LP11080E-/281767790315?hash=item419aab46eb:m:msKfgUB9o6sOCDW6cXgWSCw edit : or check robotbirds...

    rc plane help

    the cheapest way to more power may be a bigger diameter prop or a bigger pitch. Its a geared motor so should pull it. But don't overdo it or you will fry the esc.

    Old chap looking for e-bike that looks nice and handles like a proper bike

    if you have hills to go up..the woosh.. GTECH is only single gear but light...good if you want to work a bit I feel but considering the op post " But as soon as I meet the slightest incline, I fall apart." gears help even on hub motor ebike .
