    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    Thank you Mike. I think this post is best left in peace. I asked a genuine question, which if I had been inversely asked I would have done my level best to supply a genuine and helpful answer, and if I couldn't give the answer, then I would have held my hands up in admission. Two members who...

    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    Rather than answer a genuine question which I am still interested in, you degrade yourself by trading insults, my whole point of joining this forum was to learn about pedelecs as something to enjoy in my retirement which is two months away. My business interests are meaningless. I have not, and...

    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    Like many of your other "sniping" retorts through various posts you haven't read the thread properly. My question was to the statement made about "not using invertors" and the reasons for, which has not been answered. Do you have some input into this, any viable information that I can add to my...

    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    I have been building and installing alternative power supplies for the best part of 40 years as a successful business. I have worked hand in hand with "the industry" in improving, promoting and simplifying designs and applications for end users. I have learned through life's experience, that I...

    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    I thought I did have the most efficient method until I read your post stating "better not to use one" which, to simplify matters, is the reason I asked you why ? I've had a look through various sources of recognised proven information, and can find nothing that contradicts my own findings. So...

    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    Which, because of my location is not a viable financial possibility. As I have studied and upgraded my system over the years as technical advances have arisen, I perhaps thought that after reading your reply, that I had missed something, and that a new member had some new informative and...

    Inverter ( 12 v to 240) ?

    A full explanation regarding this "statement" backed with technical evidence would be appreciated, bearing in mind there are different types of invertors and qualities that differ vastly in cost. Everything in my house that is rechargeable is done so via an inverter, and has been for the past...

    135mm hub motor on 130mm frame

    Interesting and anticipated reply. Don't worry, I won't bang my head on the way out. Bye.

    135mm hub motor on 130mm frame

    If you do a google search "spreading an aluminium bicycle frame" you will get some useful information. I have seen the result of a destroyed 8 speed hub, as a result of a badly spread frame (I.e forcing the hub in), caused by the dropouts not running parallel, putting undue torsional stress on...

    135mm hub motor on 130mm frame

    You've got 5mm of difference. I had a similar problem, but with a steel frame. My preference is to have the dropouts running parallel. So as I have access to the equipment I removed 2.5 mm from (in your case) each of the 6mm nuts, and this has survived fine. Regarding your sprocket clearance...

    Why did you buy an e-bike ?

    Especially. My commute runs west to east. With a tail wind on my "normal bike" I can sustain 28 mph, usually around 18 on the return, an e-bike makes it a lot easier into the wind, although I do occasionally go past 15.5 mph. After years of experience, my bad weather gear has evolved to as near...

    All in one wheel from BMSbattery

    I agree with this, although I like the concept. I'm assuming this doesn't mean 3 kilometers ? ' 250W High-Speed Brushless Motor 1-year/3km Warranty

    SRAM E-matic

    Does anyone have any up to date experience of this unit, or similar simplistic rear hub units. https://www.sram.com/sram/urban/products/sram-e-matic#sm.0000nhzv55q76dkdxbx2nc57zr3rg Thanks in anticipation. :)

    And therein lies the "problem". Plus two much headwind would spoil that " Special Hairstyle". ;)

    Why did you buy an e-bike ?

    It is interesting reading your reply. The most unlikely cyclists that are in my family lived in Germany for over ten years, and, unbelievably to me, used bicycles for most of their daily transport, buggy's for the kids until they we old enough to pedal themselves, and trailers for shopping etc...

    Why did you buy an e-bike ?

    It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. I just decided that I'm not going to bother with the "Brexit" post any longer, and take part in the forum for the reasons I joined; the interest, understanding, and hopefully, the promotion of e-bikes.:)

    Why did you buy an e-bike ?

    I find it quite interesting, the questions I get asked about my bike by others considering buying one. The first is usually "how much was it ?" followed by "how far does it go ?", followed by a lot of negative head shaking. My first foray into e-bikes was many years ago. Home builds using Dawes...
