Truth is stranger than fiction Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived...

Total mileage is now over 26.5K, but that's over 3 kits. The current Thorn with Q100 and bottle battery from BMS has been going for nearly four years, so 15K at least. I'm amazed at the (total) reliability I've enjoyed from cheap Chinese components. I've just given the battery the BGA...

I purchased a pair of 36V 10.4A batteries from BMS Battery nearly four years ago. One developed a fault early on, the other's still going. I cycle around 4,000 miles a year on a 16 mile each way commute. My journey is all hills and I maintain 16 mph average. I did there and back on a single...

There's a couple of aspects of GCI's scheme that don't make sense to me? Firstly, it is the employer who provides the credit. To utilise your licence, GCI must provide the credit, so presumably are doing so on an interest free basis? Secondly, you appear to claim there are no exit fees, so...

I swapped my Big Apples for Marathon Plus as I experienced about two punctures every 5,000 miles or so. I chose the biggest MP (2.25 I think, available on the continent), also in 26 inch. I expected a more harsh ride, but was still surprised by the decrease in comfort, even with reduced...

Hello, from the far side of the Daw End Branch. Never understood electrics on a tandem, I thought you shouted at her to pedal harder:D I think the point is that tandems are allowed 350W?

EVs are like electric bikes - they're only effective in certain circumstances. If you a, have off road parking with access to the mains; b, your daily drive covers a regular distance well within the advertised range and c, you hardly ever have the need to travel further afield, they can work...

Couple of thoughts; The £1,000 'limit' on cycle to work is the exemption from the Consume Credit Act granted by the OFT. Unless your employer's scheme uses this artificial limit, there's nothing to stop you spending more, but only £1,000 can be 'financed'. I agree with Rob F. Although my...

I was cycling out of the City after a Christmas party last year. Bobby was standing in the middle of the road directing all traffic into a car park to be breathalysed. 'Can I carry on?' I asked. 'You're not drunk are you' he replied and waved me on:)

I'm on my third, numbers two and three being a pair of Bromptons. Need one for either end of the train journey - obviously:D So long as the employer doesn't mind, sky's the limit.

Hi James. I cross the city east to west most days. See quite a few ebikes, but no conversions sadly.

Thanks, subscribed.

I'm not far from the Chase and fancy a look around. Would my suspension free commuter deal with the terrain you have in mind?

MAC abd BPM gone

Phil, I regret I don't have much more information, I bought them from Frank Field off here and his advert included; " I bought this as an alternative to Tongxin’s own ones and asked Keywin (aka eCrazyman) to build it up with robust mosfets to make it more resilient than Tongxin’s own ones."...

All following are 36V. Motors; Tongxin 36v, 260RPM 36H narrow (80mm wide), ex Jerrysimon, as new, now built into 26" wheel £100 350W MAC , 10T (250rpm) from Cell Man. Well used but going well, built into 700c wheel, rim is worn out (split) - offers Bafang BPM code 12 Rear Motor (Sensorless...

Why do you think the battery is not sufficiently secured? My bottle battery has survived several thousand miles and shows no sign of detachment. I wouldn't worry about theft either. The scumbags have no idea what these things are. Slime is counterproductive as well. Buy some quality tyres...

Trex is correct, there are numerous middlemen who will give the impression their involvement is required, but it is as simple as above. It is far better to administer the scheme yourself, as the employees have a free choice of bike and can negotiate discounts.

My reading of the Chinese message is that the hub has the holes drilled to fit a disc, does not impede use of rim brakes in any way and he's not saying you need or require discs. I use throttle control only (so not pedelec) and don't bother with the brake cut offs. That saves you using their...

Speed is determined by the motor speed (328 in my case) and the wheel circumference. Questions of battery spec are too technical for me, but providing the wheel size and motor speed match up, the available batteries are fine. You are possible asking about 'overvolting' but that is a subject...
