Chains and cassettes wear together (so does front gears, but its usually not a problem because of the higher teeth count. If you have a really worn chain and switch only the chain it won't fit on the cassette anymore. When this happens, you can either just use your old chain until it breaks...

Well, walking would have done the job, I want some efficiency...

Update: Clearly capable with the task at hand, had a go on it today, -6C, Snow and ice, two kids in the trailer and out we go, no problem in the hills, apart from the rear wheel spinning on the snow. Raced my father up a hill, and won. With no pedal input at all, it managed 10-15km/h up the...

The wife has ridden her cheap ebike every day since summer, with the only actual waterproofing done with some electricans tape around the controller box. Its going inside at home, but at her work it stayed outside. After 6 months it gave up and the damage was the batterys power checker, and the...

Yea, and I have 29" wheels... But it's fine with just me on it, haven't found a hill it won't climb yet...

Got the Bafang kit yesterday. All pretty straightforward to mount, exept for the brake switch (witch I planned to use as a "clutch" while shifting gears). I ordered for Hydraulic brakes and got that (i think) but I can't figure out how to mount it on a Deore handle? For now I'll just let the...

You have to keep records, but do you need to keep records of who buoght from you? Is cash deals suddenly illegal in the UK. If I got into your shop and wanted to buy a unrestricted ebike, and payed in cash, how and why would you know my name?

Yea, its perfectly legal to sell a non road-legal vehicle, otherwise everyone selling a car without plates could be prosecuted. Don't think you'd have to explain to anyone that a car or motorcycle without plates are illegal to drive on the streets either, why should that be different on a...

Where I live every other 16 yearold gets a moped licence and buys a moped to drive around on. The moped is max 50cc and 45km/h speed limit. (is in if the moped can be driven 46km/h on flat ground its illegal. Ofc, many will remove this limit, the old ones has just a exhaust brake limiting hp and...

I belive its 75% and limited to about 35000£ a year. But its a good deal for some. For 72£ a week I couldn't even pay half my rent...

cheaper than a pack of cigarettes... thats a good dealo_O

Where? UK? My buddy just came back and he couldn't believe how cheap it was, only 3-4£ for a beer, thats a bargain!

@d8veh: thanks, But the one I have have 5 power levels, never tested them to see if they are actually different, but there are 5 LED's. Seems like my old one is analogue, also cause the green wire is clearly labeled "out" not "TX". I have trouble finding them, the lokal ebike shop said they...

Here, I got the "new type" from a local shop, but the plug is wrong, and i dont want to change the plug on a 70£ part without knowing that it works first...

Seems like a good thing, then you can have a couple beers and ride home to save a cabfare, If you are totally obviously drunk you shouldn't be riding a bike for your own safety.

In the interest of learning: I get how BMS work, but in a 10S5P setup you only have balancing leads from each group of 5 paralell cells? whats stopping them from having different voltages across? Or is the problem only that one in series can have 4.2V and another 4 so the charger assumes both at...

Is it legal to ride a bike while drunk in UK? here in Norway a bike i classified as a vehicle and you're subject to the same law on drunk driving as with a car or motorbike. The cops usually don't care as riding a bike is in many cases the best alternative while drinking, (well, better than...

ofc, don't know what I was thinking. A lab power supply can then easily be used to charge a lipo battery, but there will be no cutoff switch, so if I forget about it it will still be charging (altho at constant voltage and very low amp) a long time after a dedicated charger have shut off? Yea...

Yea, I don't quite fancy sitting for hrs looking at a display to know when to swich from constant current to constant voltage. Can I charge with constant voltage from the start, (as is it will only take longer time?) I have loads of time, as I've previously stated I don't think Ill be riding my...

That one looks like it might be a newer version, mine is datestamped 2012, so I'm not surprised if its out of stock. I'll try the one you linked, cheap enaugh to not loose my house if it doesn't work..
